Bluejays held a 13-8 edge in shots
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton women's soccer team fell 1-0 to Drake on Wednesday night at Morrison Stadium.
The Bluejays fell to 1-6-1, while the Bulldogs improved to 4-3-1.
The lone goal of the match came during the 63rd minute. Following Drake's first corner kick of the night, Alyssa Brand recovered a loose ball inside the 18-yard box and dropped a pass to Hannah Bormann. Bormann fired a shot and put the ball into the back of the net to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead that stood for the final 27 minutes of play.
Both teams played an even first half with Drake holding a slim 5-4 shot advantage. Creighton edged the Bulldogs 3-0 in corner kick opportunities during the opening 45 minutes.
The Bluejays came out of the locker room with an added step, and fired a shot wide of the goal only a minute into the second half. Creighton fired six shots during the opening 20 minutes following halftime but Drake's Haley Morris made a pair of saves to keep the match deadlocked at zero before the Bulldogs took a one-goal lead during the 63rd minute.
Creighton's Darby Hugunin had an opportunity to tie the match during the 77th minute, but her shot from the top of the 18-yard box went less than a foot above the crossbar.
The Bluejays outshot the Bulldogs 9-3 during the second half and 13-8 overall. Creighton also had five corner kicks, while Drake had only one, which resulted in the game-winning goal.
Hugunin led the Bluejays with four shots, including two on goal, while Hannah Miller, Jaylin Bosak and Ashleigh Cearlock each tallied two shots.
Goalkeeper McKenzie Meola made a pair of saves for the Jays and now has 48 on the year through eight matches.
Creighton returns to the pitch on Saturday night. The Bluejays will host crosstown foe Nebraska-Omaha for Homecoming at Morrison Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
