QUEENS, N.Y. – Despite owning a 17-6 edge in shots and junior Morgan Paley collecting a career-high tying four saves, the Creighton Women's Soccer team battled St. John's to a scoreless draw on Saturday night at Belson Stadium in Queens, N.Y.

Saturday's result moved Creighton to 4-4-3 on the season and 0-1-2 in BIG EAST play with their sixth shutout of the year, while St. John's moved to 3-5-3 overall and 0-1-2 in league action.

The Bluejays controlled possession throughout the first 25 minutes of play, collecting four of their five first half shots in the opening 10 minutes of the contest. Senior Olivia Duray recorded three of those with junior Anna Bragg putting the Jays' lone shot on goal in the first half.

The Johnnies, however, nearly took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute on a counterattack as Nora Basile lasered a shot towards the upper-90, where Paley made an incredible diving save to keep the match scoreless.

Both teams battled defensively in the midfield throughout the remainder of the first half, sending the match to halftime scoreless. Creighton outshot St. John's, 5-2, in the opening period, while the Red Storm owned a 1-0 edge in corners created.

Coming out of the break, the Bluejays turned up their offensive pressure, firing off 12 shots as they controlled possession for nearly 65 percent of the second half.

Creighton's best scoring opportunities came in the 53rd and 86th minutes off the boots of Bragg and sophomore Sarah Hyde. Fielding passes from Taylor Yablonski in the open field, Bragg and Hyde both turned and rocketed shots at the near posts but were denied by diving saves from Red Storm goalkeeper Kayla Bower on both scoring chances.

With time running out, the Bluejays turned to Paley to make two saves in the final minute, including one as time expired, to preserve Creighton's sixth shutout of the season and earn a point on the road.

Creighton finished the match with a 17-6 advantage in shots and a 7-4 edge in corners created, while Paley collected a career-high tying four saves and moved to 3-3-2 on the year in goal.

Creighton returns to action on Wednesday, Oct. 7 as the Bluejays battle Marquette in Milwaukee, Wis. at 6 p.m.
