Omaha, Neb. -- Former women's soccer standout Taryn Jakubowski officially announced the signing of her first professional contract. Jakubowski inked a one-year deal to play in Finland for Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) during the 2021 season.
"I'm very humbled and honored to have the opportunity to sign with KuPS and start this next chapter in my soccer journey," said Jakubowski. "I would just like to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point. Especially all my Creighton teammates and coaches."
A two-time All-BIG EAST First Team selection, Jakubwski delivered 17 goals and 11 assists, playing a combined 6,163 minutes as a Bluejay. During her senior season of 2019, Taryn started all 18 of Creighton's matches with three goals and two assists in 1,575 minutes.
"I think wanting to play professional soccer was always a dream and goal of mine. I actually wrote this poem in 3rd grade, that my parents framed for me, where I wrote about being a professional soccer player," added Jakubowski. "Since then, it was my goal to work hard every single day to hopefully have the chance to one day achieve that dream. Now that little girls dream is coming true, and I couldn't be more excited and thankful."
"Taryn was always one of the best trainers and competitors we've had on the pitch," said Creighton head coach Ross Paule. "Her drive to improve each day will help make her successful at the professional level."
