Creighton responded in the 58th minute (57:01) as the Pirates blocked a shot by junior Alyssa Jara with one of their hand. Sophomore Ylenia Sachau blasted the Bluejays chance past Illissa Blackshear to knot the game at 1-1.
The Bluejays held a 4-3 shot edge in the first half, but dominated possession over the final 65 minutes of play. Creighton closed the game with a 21-11 edge on shots and created eight corners to just one for Seton Hall.
