Heinrich Named BIG EAST Offensive Player and Freshman of the Week
Creighton women's soccer freshman Skylar Heinrich (Omaha, Neb.) earned some well deserved recognition on Monday, Sept. 9 as the Bluejay forward was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week as well as the Freshman of the Week.
Heinrich led Creighton to a 2-0-0 week (Sept. 2-8) with five goals, including a pair of game-winners. Down 1-0 on Sunday, Sept. 8 versus Eastern Michigan, Heinrich entered the match in the 20th minute and was more than instant offense as the Bluejays scored on a corner to knot the match at 1-1. Over the next 16 minutes the Creighton forward tied a school record with four goals, including the game-winner in the 23rd minute as she collected the rebound from a shot by senior Ashleigh Cearlock that smacked the crossbar.
Â
Heinrich added an unassisted goal in the 24th minute, then found the back of the net again in the 32nd and 36th minute. Her four tallies equaled the most goals scored in a single match in program history. The last time a Bluejay scored four goals in a match came in 2000 as Krystal Campa did so at Belmont on Oct. 15. The other two times that a Bluejay notched four goals in one match both came by Jessica Powers during the 1998 season. In addition Heinrich's efforts were Creighton's first hat trick since 2009 when Brittney Neumann scored three goals against South Dakota on Aug. 28.
Â
On Friday night, Heinrich delivered the decisive goal in the Bluejays' 1-0 over Iowa State in the 88th minute.

Co-captain Haylee Blach Returns to the Pitch One Year After ACL Injury
Exactly 366 days after suffering an ACL injury in Creighton's 2-1 overtime win against South Dakota (Sept. 7, 2018), junior Haylee Blach returned to the pitch in Creighton's 5-2 win over Eastern Michigan on Sept. 8, 2019. One of the Bluejays co-captains, Blach
received an ovation from her sideline when she entered the match in the second half.
Redshirt Freshman Keelan Terrell Makes First Appearance
Another Bluejay also made her return to the pitch after a significant injury in the match against Eastern Michigan as redshirt freshman Keelan Terrell saw her first action in the net. Terrell suffered a significant injury to her hamstring prior to the 2018 season.
Bluejays Use Second Goalkeeper for the First Time Since 2016
Terrell's appearance in the net marked the first time since 2016 that Creighton has seen a second player appear in goal in the same season, let alone one match.
Sophomore Katie Sullivan played every second for the Bluejays in 2018, while McKenzie Meola did so in 2017. Meola and Erin Scott each saw action during the 2016 season.
The last time the Bluejays used two goalkeepers in the same match was also in 2016, on Sept. 18 in a 4-2 win over Yale, a stretch of 44 consecutive contests.
