Scouting Iowa State (2-4-0)
Despite allowing just seven goals in six matches, the Cyclones are off to a 2-4-0 start to 2021. About to conclude a streak of four home contests, Iowa State is 1-2-0 at home. The two victories this season have come over Souther Illinois University Evansville (1-0 on Sept. 5) and at UC Santa Barbara (2-0 on Aug. 19).
Offensively the Cyclones are led by Mira Emma and Lauren McConnell, who each enter the match with Creighton at five points in 2021. McConnell is the lone player for Iowa State with two goals, while Emma leads the team with three assists.
Iowa State has split time in goal between Cora Anderson (180 minutes) and Jordan Silkowitz (368:26). Each netminder has one shutout this season, while Anderson has a 1.00 goals against average (GAA). Silkowitz leads the Iowa State with 19 saves in 2021.
The last match of a season, a 1-0 home loss in overtime to No. 15 Memphis, saw Silkowitz make seven saves 98 minutes (98:26).
Scouting Creighton (6-1-1)
The Bluejays' calling card throughout the non-conference season has been defense. Creighton enters the matchup at Iowa State in the midst of five consecutive shutouts. The Bluejays have allowed just two goals in eight matches in 2021.
Defensively Keelan Terrell posted her seventh career shutout and fifth consecutive against Kansas City. Terrell lowered her season GAA to just 0.24, with a streak of 473 minutes (473:20) of scoreless soccer. Terrell is the NCAA leader this season with six shutouts.
On offense sophomore Abigail Santana and senior Ansley Atkinson have paved the path for Creighton. Santana has a team best six goals, while Atkinson leads the NCAA with nine assists.
Terrell's Scoreless Streak Approaching 500 minutes
Junior goalkeeper Keelan Terrell enters Sunday's match with Iowa State on a scoreless streak of better than 473 minutes (473:20). During Creighton's last match with Kansas City, Terrell set the Creighton record for scoreless streak, passing the mark of 392:23 held by Alicia Montgomery during the 2009 season.
Atkinson and Terrell Lead the NCAA
Senior Ansley Atkinson and junior Keelan Terrell are off to more than a strong start in 2021. Atkinson is climbed Creighton's single season and career lists with nine assists in eight matches. Nine assists places Atkinson in a tie atop the NCAA with Clemson's Renee Guion. Terrell, meanwhile, is also on top of the NCAA in shutouts with six thus far. She is knotted with Minnesota's Megan Plaschko at the peak of the category.
