9/16/2026 9:30:00 PM | Women's Soccer
OMAHA, Neb. – The first tally of the season from Anna Bragg was all the defense needed as the Creighton women's soccer team claimed the battle for the city, posting a 1-0 win over Omaha on Wednesday night at Caniglia Field.
Creighton improved to 4-3-1 on the year, claiming its ninth consecutive win over the Omaha and the Bluejays 17th straight win over Summit League opponents. The Mavericks, meanwhile, dropped to 1-4-3 with the loss.
Neither squad pushed across a goal in the opening frame, as the back-and-forth battle saw the Jays put three of their four shots on frame. Creighton nearly put the Jays on the scoreboard in the 34th minute as Clara Kulick's goal was waved out due to the Jays being offside.
Coming out of the break with urgency, Creighton quickly pushed forward and took a 1-0 lead in the 47th minute off a set piece. Set in place by a Mavricks foul along the sideline, sophomore Olivia Sides delivered aa perfectly placed cross off into the six-yard box, where Anna Bragg headed home her first goal of the season.
Down a goal in the final 15 minutes, Omaha pressed up and nearly put the equalizer into the back of the net in the 80th minute, but the goal was call off as the Mavericks were offsides.
Despite Creighton earning the shutout victory, Omaha finished the match with an 8-6 edge in shots, while owning a 5-1 edge in corner kicks. Junior transfer Morgan Paley earned the victory collecting the Mavericks only two shots on frame.
The Bluejays will have a 10-day break before opening BIG EAST play against Providence inside Morrison Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 12 p.m
