Omaha, Neb. -- Looking for the perfect gift on senior day, freshman Taryn Jakubowski delivered two goals and an assist to spark the Creighton women's soccer squad to a 6-1 win over Xavier on Sunday, Oct. 22.
The win lifted Creighton to 9-5-2 on the season and 4-4-0 in BIG EAST action, while Xavier fell to 7-10-1 on the season and 1-7-0 in conference play.
It took a mere 73 seconds for the Bluejays to claim a 1-0 lead, turning a Musketeer foul into a goal. Sachau sent a free kick towards the box from 35 yards away, where Jakubowski came crashing toward the goal to touch in her third of the season. It was the earliest goal in the Ross Paule era and the earliest goal since Franny Hylok scored in just 35 seconds against Drury on Oct. 18, 2002. The Bluejays' had an goal against Portland State on Sept. 12, 2008 in 70 seconds, but it was an own goal by the Vikings.
Creighton pushed its lead to 2-0 in the fourth minute when Sachau turned a failed clear on a corner into an unassisted goal from 15 yards.
Xavier pulled back within one in the 19th minute as Andie Kenard fielded a crossing pass from Maddie Tierney, then beat Bluejay goalkeeper McKenzie Meola from 12 yards out.
Knowing that it was her mark that got the Musketeers on the board, Jakubowski fielded a pass from Sullivan less than one minute later and streaked down the right side. The Illinois native beat her defender and notched her second goal from 20 yards out.
The game remained 3-1 through halftime and well into the second half, until a goal in the 65th minute by Sullivan put the match away. Creighton tacked on goals in the 84th and 85th minutes from freshmen Kate Johnson (her first) and Hannah Miller's fourth of the season.
The Bluejays wrap up the regular season on Friday, Oct. 28 as Creighton hosts Georgetown at 7:00 pm in Morrison Stadium. The Bluejays can qualify for the BIG EAST Tournament with a win over the Hoyas or a loss by Butler.
