Omaha, Neb. -- Already bringing in a highly talented recruiting class for 2019, Creighton women's soccer head coach Ross Paule continued to raise the bar for his team by adding transfer Cristina Garriga from Eastern Florida State College.
Following two seasons with Eastern Florida State, Garriga will be a junior at Creighton. Originally from Barcelona, Spain, Garriga was an offensive midfielder in 2018 and a forward in 2017. During her two seasons with the Titans she delivered a combined 27 goals and 22 assists. In addition to her total 76 career points for Eastern Florida State, she collected six game-winning goals, delivering three each seasons.
"Garriga is an great addition to our program and team, she has great character and leadership qualities and I expect her to have strong influence in our attack as she is a technical, smart, creative attacking player who is clinical around the goal," said Paule.
The addition of Garriga brings Creighton's incoming class to 15 newcomers joining Renee Berak, Karina Gilson, Anna Grassinger, Gabrielle Grimaldi, Jenny Grissom, Lauren Harkes, Skylar Heinrich, Lea Høiness, Sammi Matula, Daphne Nierop, Emma Paule, Jordy Rothwell, Jordan Vanderloo and Emma Yackley.
