Freshman Skylar Heinrich delivered a late first half goal before Providence found the back of the net twice in the early parts of the second half to top Creighton 2-1. Heinrich's goal was her ninth inside Morrison Stadium this season.
Over the course of the season Heinrich leads the squad with an impressive 10 goals, senior Taryn Jakubowski is second on the squad with three goals and two assists, while sophomore Ansley Atkinson has contributed a pair of goals and five assists.
Defensively Creighton has split time in the net between redshirt freshman Keelan Terrell (0-2-1) and sophomore Katie Sullivan (1-1-1) in conference play. Terrell saw action in the recent contest with Providence (Oct. 19).
