Bluejays Post First BIG EAST Win, 2-0 Over Seton Hall
10/17/2021 4:40:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Omaha, Neb. -- Bolstered by a pair of first half goals, the Creighton women's soccer team captured its first BIG EAST win of the 2021 season 2-0 over Seton Hall on Sunday, October 17.
The win lifted Creighton to 7-7-2 on the season and 1-5-1 in BIG EAST play, while Seton Hall fell to 6-9-0 and 1-6-0 in conference action.
Each of Creighton's two goals came via penalty kicks as freshman Hailey Rothwell and sophomore Abigail Santana drew fouls in the box in the opening half.
Rothwell's PK came in the 27th minute (26:22), racing inside the box along the left side, Rothwell was taken out by Seton Hall defender Dani Brinckman. An immediate call sent the Bluejay freshman to the penalty kick dot, where she easily converted.
The 35th minute (34:21) appeared to be a replay as Santana went down the left side, going down as Brinckman backed into her. Santana equally converted her PK, slicing a shot to the left.
The two penalty kicks proved to be the only goals scored in the match.
The Bluejays controlled possession throughout much of the first half, out shooting Seton Hall 12-3. The conclusion of the match saw the Bluejays hold a 14-6 edge on shots taken and a 7-1 advantage on corners.
Creighton returns to action on Thursday, October 21 in a road match at DePaul with a kickoff at 2:00 pm.
