Creighton Volleyball Media Guide Earns National Recognition, Sixth-Best Among Division I Sports
In a crowded field of more than 50 Division I media guides, Creighton University’s 2025 Women’s Volleyball Media Guide earned a national spotlight, being voted the sixth‑best across all sports by the College Sports Communicators on June 15, 2026.
The accolade came as part of CSC’s annual Creative & Digital Design Contest, a competition that scrutinizes the visual appeal, content depth, and overall quality of collegiate sports publications. The honor was bestowed upon three members of Creighton’s Athletic Communications Office—Assistant AD and Director of Athletic Communications Rob Anderson, Associate Director Glen Sisk, and Assistant Director Patrick Davis.
Inside, the guide offers exhaustive statistics, player biographies, and a rich historical narrative that contextualizes the Blue Jays’ program. Its exterior covers, crafted by designer Justin Kreutzian, marry bold imagery with clean typography, a combination that helped the guide outshine all but five other Division I guides—a notable feat, given that none of those competitors represented a women’s sport.
Creighton’s media guide has a storied record of CSC recognition. The program first attracted national attention in the 2007‑08 season when its guide ranked eighth overall. Subsequent years saw the guide earn Best in the Nation titles in 2012 and 2021, and the 2015 Women’s Volleyball Game Program received the Best Women’s Volleyball Game Program award. Runner‑up honors followed in 2017, 2019, and 2023, with the 2023 guide landing ninth nationwide and topping all women’s sport guides.
With the 2025‑26 award, Creighton’s Volleyball publications now boast nine CSC honors since 2007‑08. Over the past 19 years, the Sports Information Office has accumulated 30 CSC awards and honors, including at least one recognition each year for the last 11 seasons.
Across the University Division, Oklahoma State’s Men’s Golf media guide took the top spot, followed by Oklahoma’s Football guide. West Virginia and Kansas football guides filled the remaining three positions. Creighton remains the sole Big East member and the only Division I school in Nebraska to receive a CSC award that year.
Although the CSC announcement did not quote the honored staff, the university’s athletic department confirmed the recognition and highlighted the guide’s pivotal role in supporting media coverage of the Blue Jays. By providing journalists, broadcasters, and fans with a clear roster, schedule, and historical context, the guide helps translate the team’s story into engaging coverage.
The award underscores the value of high‑quality media guides in collegiate athletics. Accurate, well‑presented guides empower reporters to craft compelling narratives, furnish broadcasters with reliable context, and broaden the sport’s reach. For Creighton, the recognition reaffirms its commitment to excellence in athletic communications and elevates the visibility of its women’s volleyball program.
Looking forward, the 2025‑26 season will see the Blue Jays compete in the Big East Conference, featuring a slate of home and away matches against conference rivals and non‑conference opponents. The media guide will remain a key resource for the program’s media partners as they chronicle the season’s games and milestones.
In sum, Creighton’s 2025 Women’s Volleyball Media Guide has earned national acclaim as the sixth‑best Division I guide, marking a milestone for the university’s athletic communications staff and spotlighting the program’s continued dedication to quality media production.
