Series with Butler:

Scouting Creighton (9-6-1, 1-5-1 BIG EAST):
Creighton wraps up the 2014 season with road contests at Butler and Xavier, looking to play the spoiler role. Officially eliminated from the BIG EAST Tournament, Creighton will look to hurt Butler's chances.
The first task for the Bluejays will be to break their current scoreless streak. Shutout in its last three contests, Creighton will be looking for a spark from sophomore Lauren Sullivan and juniors Kirstyn Corder as well as Alyssa Jara. The trio have combined for 39 points this season.
Defensively Creighton played one of its best matches of the season against #25 Georgetown last Sunday, holding the Hoyas to one goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Danielle Rice has recorded 83 saves in 16 matches this season.
Scouting Butler (8-8-1, 2-4-1 BIG EAST):
Butler comes into Saturday's match against Creighton with seven points in BIG EAST play. The Bulldogs own victories over Seton Hall (3-0 on Sept. 28) and Xavier (2-1 on Oct. 19). Butler currently sits in seventh place, just outside the BIG EAST Tournament.
The Bulldogs are led on offense by Elisa Kotsakis, who has 21 points on nine goals and three assists. Just a few steps back is Sophia Maccagnone with 17 points (four goals and nine assists).
Over their last five matches, all in conference play, the Bulldogs have allowed 12 goals.
