The Bluejays clinch the No. 4 seed in BIG EAST Tournament with Seton Hall loss tonight
OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton women's soccer team kept their postseason hopes alive, delivering three unanswered goals to defeat DePaul, 3-1, in the regular season finale on Saturday afternoon inside Morrison Stadium.
With the win, Creighton improved to 8-7-3 on the year and 4-4-2 in BIG EAST play, while the Blue Demons ended their season with a 5-7-6 overall record and a 2-5-3 mark in league play.
The Bluejays postseason fate will be determined later tonight as Creighton needs a Seton Hall loss to St. John's to clinch the No. 4 seed at next week's BIG EAST Tournament in Boyds, Md.
DePaul wasted no time taking an early lead as freshman Katelyn Haiser sopened the scoring with her seventh goals of the season in the eighth minute (7:14) of play. Making a marvelous run, Haiser fielded a through ball from Jericho Frigon at the top of the 18-yard box and beat Bluejay goalkeeper Morgan Paley with a chip shot to give the Blue Demons a 1-0 lead.
Creighton would pull even 30 minutes later on a wild sequence of events inside the box. A long entry pass from junior Macy Felton was headed off the crossbar by freshman Lorel Stringer. With the ball loose in the box, junior Taylor Yablonski soared in and found the back of the net for the second time this season to level things up at 1-1.
Coming out of the break knotted at 1-1, Creighton flipped momentum in a big way as junior Anna Bragg converting on a Bluejay corner kick in the 57th minute (56:59) to put the Jays out in front 2-1. DePaul's goalkeeper Mason Hillery made an incredible leaping save on a lasered shot from the Bluejays attack to knock the ball out of play, before sophomore Olivia Sides connected with Bragg on the ensuing corner for her fourth goal of the season.
Less than two minutes after a red card was issued to DePaul's Shayna da Silva in the 80th minute, Creighton tacked on an insurance goal as freshman Gabby Wagenfuhr finished off a series of passes from sophomore Sarah Hyde and Bragg to extend the Bluejays lead to 3-1.
Creighton closed the match with a 20-7 edge in shots and a 6-3 advantage in corners and has now posted a result in 97 straight matches when scoring three or more goals. Bragg finished the day with a career-high three points on a goal and an assist, while Paley picked up her seventh win of the season, corralling three total saves.
