Butler Drops Match at Creighton

OMAHA, Neb. – The Butler women's soccer team gave up an early goal and a late goal in a 2-1 loss on the road at Creighton. The Bluejays (5-5-3, 1-2-2 BIG EAST) scored in the first minute and the 73rd minute to secure the victory. The Bulldogs (6-3-4, 1-1-3 BIG EAST), who had not lost a match since August 30, scored their only goal in the seventh minute.
 
Key Moments
  • 1' | Thirty seconds into the match, Butler's defensive line attempts to connect passes in the back. Creighton's Olivia Duray steals a square pass in the middle of the pitch and immediately sends it into the back of the net from 12 yards. The Bluejays take a very early 1-0 lead.
  • 7' | Butler responds. Riley Gumm serves a corner kick from the left side. Chloe Brecht gets a head on it, six yards out at the near post. The ball sails into the net, just inside the far post. The score is level at one.
  • 38' | Addison Ash leaps to punch out a 35-yard shot by the Bluejays, keeping the score level.
     -- HALFTIME --
  • 61' | A Butler corner kick from the right side is dropped at the face of Creighton's goal. An initial shot is saved, and a subsequent shot is blocked before the ball is cleared.
  • 65' | Brecht heads a Bulldogs corner kick from 12 yards that forces a leaping save by the Bluejays' keeper.
  • 73' | Creighton draws a foul and earns a free kick from 45 yards. Macy Felton drives the ball directly at the goal, and the service bounces in the area and then right over Ash and into the back of the net. The Bluejays lead, 2-1.
  • 79' | Lola Pepper draws a foul in the area, and a Creighton defender is sent off with a red card. Riley Gumm's attempt from the spot is saved by a diving keeper at the right post.
  • 82' | A Butler corner kick from the left side bounces early and continues in the goal area. Gemma Gillespie gets a head on the ball, but it flies over the crossbar.
