PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Despite sophomore Andrine Westlie delivering her first career goal, the Creighton women's soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision at Providence on Sunday, Oct. 1.
The loss moved Creighton to 2-6-4 on the season and 0-4-0 in BIG EAST play, while Providence improved to 7-2-1 overall and 2-0-1 in conference action with the win.
The Bluejays fell behind in the 13th minute (12:26) of the match as Kyla Gallagher earned a penalty kick, drawing a foul inside the 18-yard box. The senior stepped in and converted the PK to give Providence a 1-0 lead.
Seven minutes later, Providence would extend their advantage out to 2-0 with an unassisted goal by senior Meg Hughes. Hughes notched her team-leading fifth goal of the season, beating the Bluejays backline and blasting a shot into the top left corner of the goal past fifth-year senior goalkeeper Keelan Terrell.
Creighton, however, would cut the deficit to 2-1 with a goal in the 32nd (31:21) minute. Westlie recorded her first goal as a Bluejay, heading in a cross from the top of the 6-yard box off a corner kick from senior Hannah Luke.
Midway through the second half, Providence added an insurance goal from Hughes to secure the 3-1 win for the Friars. Hughes found the back of the net for the second time in the match, rebounding a shot by sophomore Ella McBride.
Senior Abigail Santana led all Bluejays with four total shots as Creighton outshot Providence, 13-11. The Bluejays also held a 10-6 edge in corner kicks, while Providence's Emma Bodmer and Katherine McElroy combined for six saves on seven shots on goal by Creighton.
The Bluejays return to the pitch on Thursday, Oct. 5 when they host St. John's at 6 p.m. inside Morrison Stadium.
