WASHINGTON, D.C. – A three-goal outburst in the second half and a resilient defensive effort lifted the Creighton women's soccer team to a 4-2 win over Georgetown on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at Shaw Field in Washington, D.C.
With the win, the Bluejays surged into fourth place in the BIG EAST standings with a 3-3-2 record in league play and to 7-6-3 overall with their first win over the Hoyas in program history. Georgetown, meanwhile, dropped to 5-6-5 on the year and into a tie for seventh in the league standings with a 2-4-3 mark in the BIG EAST.
A back-and-forth battle early, quickly flipped in favor of the Bluejays as Creighton cracked the scoreboard in the 17th minute (16:49) on the first collegiate goal from sophomore Taylor Yablonski. Set in motion by a Georgetown foul at midfield, junior Macy Felton delivered a perfectly placed entry pass into the box, where Yablonski flicked a header over the Hoyas goalkeeper to give the Bluejays a 1-0 lead.
CU would hold their 1-0 advantage through half, before extending their lead in the 47th minute (46:21) after drawing their first penalty kick of the season on a Georgetown handball in the box. Cool, calm and collected, junior Anna Bragg stepped up to the dot and buried her third goal of the season and the first penalty kick of her career to push the Jays advantage to 2-0.
Georgetown, however, answered just 40 seconds later when Madeline Nylen finished off a series of passes from Maya Wiese and Abigail Droner to cut the deficit to 2-1.
Creighton responded a mere two minutes later, pushing its advantage back out to two as sophomore Olivia Sides netted her first goal of the season off a corner kick insertion to put the Jays out in front, 3-1.
Down two, Georgetown upped its offensive pressure and looked to have been denied on several scoring opportunities in the 64th minute (63:22) by the Bluejays defense. However, after a lengthy VAR review, the Hoyas earned a penalty kick on a Creighton handball in the box and trimmed the lead to 3-2 as Droner converted on the PK.
The Bluejays would once again respond in a big way just six minutes later as sophomore Sarah Hyde headed in Creighton's third set piece goal of the match. Finishing off a perfectly placed corner kick cross into the center of the 6-yard box from Sides, Hyde secured the Bluejays 4-2 victory with her third goal of the season.
Creighton finished the match with a season-high four goals on seven shots, including two goals on three corner kick opportunities. The Bluejays four goals scored on Wednesday night were the Bluejays most in a BIG EAST match since defeating Xavier, 6-1, on Oct. 23, 2016, and tied for the most goals in a match in the Jimmy Walker era.
Georgetown, meanwhile, closed the match with a 17-7 edge in shots and a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks, while Bluejay goalkeeper Morgan Paley collected her sixth win of the season in goal.
Creighton returns to the pitch looking to carry their momentum into securing a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament on Oct. 31 in another crucial match at Seton Hall. Kickoff between the Bluejays and Pirates is set for 12 p.m. Central in South Orange, N.J.
