Series History: Georgetown leads series, 3-0-0
The Hoyas have handled Creighton in the first three meetings as conference foes. Georgetown has limited the Bluejays to one combined goal in the first three battles, claiming a 3-1 contest last season in Washington, DC on Oct. 30.
Scouting #10 Georgetown (13-2-2, 5-1-2 BIG EAST)
The Hoyas enter Friday's contest following a loss in BIG EAST play for the first time this season. Georgetown posted impressive wins (No. 12 Rutgers, No. 3 Virgina and No. 1 West Virginia) during the non-conference season to climb as high as sixth in the national polls. Georgetown's lone loss in non-conference play was to then No. 1 Stanford (3-0) on Aug. 21.
The Hoyas offense has several options, led by 11 goals and 26 points from Grace Damaska. Rachel Corboz is just a step back with eight goals and eight assists for 24 points. Three other Hoyas enter Friday's match with at least 10 points on the season.
Defensively Georgetown has posted 10 clean sheets (shutouts), including six in BIG EAST play. In fact, Georgetown has allowed a total of five goals in conference action, with four coming in the loss to DePaul on Sunday.
The Paule Effect
In just his second season at the helm for the Bluejays, head coach Ross Paule has Creighton knocking on the door of a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament at 4-4-0. The last time the Bluejays posted four conference victories came in 2011 (4-1-1) as members of the Missouri Valley Conference. The last time Creighton had five conference wins was in 2010 (5-1-0).
Path to the BIG EAST Tournament
If the regular season was complete, the Bluejays would be in the BIG EAST Tournament. Thus with one match remaining, Creighton controls its own destiny.
If the Bluejays defeat Georgetown on Friday, Creighton will earn the final berth into the BIG EAST Tournament.
With a loss or a draw against the Hoyas, the Bluejays still have a chance. In that instance Creighton would need a loss by Butler to Xavier on Friday.
Jakubowski's Goal was Fastest Since 2002
In Sunday's 6-1 win over Xavier, freshman Taryn Jakubowski put the Bluejays on the board with a goal just 73 seconds into the match. The tally was the earliest goal in the two seasons under Paule, but not the fastest goal by a Bluejay. On Oct. 18, 2002 Franny Hylok scored in just 35 seconds against Drury. The Bluejays' also had an goal against Portland State on Sept. 12, 2008 in 70 seconds, but it was an own goal by the Vikings.
