Bluejays Remain Alive to Reach BIG EAST Championship
Queens, N.Y. -- With both squads battling to remain alive in the chase for the BIG EAST Championship, the Creighton women's soccer team settled for a 1-1 draw with St. John's on Sunday, Oct. 27th.
Following Sunday's action the Bluejays moved to 8-6-3 on the season and 2-3-3 in BIG EAST action, while St. John's closed the day at 5-11-1 overall and 2-5-1 in conference play.
The Bluejays controlled possession for much of the first half, but neither team was able to punch in a goal. Creighton held a 7-1 edge in shots in the opening frame.
Creighton continued to control play in the second half, surging ahead in the 65th as freshman Skylar Heinrich fielded a long pass from fellow freshman Jordy Rothwell. Heinrich raced past two Red Storm defenders to put Creighton up 1-0 with her 11th goal of the season from 15 yards away.
St. John's answered in the 79th minute as Zsani Kajan delivered the equalizer from 12 yards away. Madeline McCracken earned the assist for the Red Storm.
The two overtime sessions saw both squads push for the victory, but each had to settle for the draw.
The Bluejays finished the match with a 19-10 edge on shots and a 7-6 lead on corners earned.
The draw eliminated St. John's from the BIG EAST Championships chase, while Creighton hung on with its ninth point of the season. To earn the sixth seed in the post season tournament, the Bluejays would need to win its final match on Thursday and get a loss or tie by both Marquette and Providence.
Creighton closes out the regular season on Thursday, Oct. 31 as the Bluejays host Villanova at 7:00 pm (CT).
