It’s been nearly two decades since the Nebraska soccer team clashed with the Creighton Bluejays on the field. The previous outing resulted in a 1-0 win for the Huskers at home. This time around, the team’s trip to Omaha resulted in a 2-2 tie to open up the 2023 season.
Nebraska outshot Creighton 22-9 with seven shots on goal, but the Bluejays managed to make the most of their few opportunities.
The match began with Eleanor Dale scoring at the 8-minute mark, nailing a sliding shot from Florence Belzile and Abbey Schwarz.
Creighton’s Maddie Radke almost tied the game at the 20-minute mark but was waved off due to an offsides penalty. However, she didn’t waste time coming out of halftime to score, putting the ball in the back of the net at the 47-minute mark.
Sarah Weber responded 10 minutes later, taking a pass from Jordan Zade and giving Nebraska a 2-1 lead.
But then at the 82-minute mark, the Bluejays once again tied the game, coming off the foot of Hannah Luke.
Nebraska had an opportunity heading into the 89-minute mark, but a tremendous save by Creighton’s Keelan Terrell prevented a score, ending the match at the 2-2 tie.
Nebraska returns to action on Sunday, Aug. 20 at home against Baylor. The match is set to begin at 1:05 p.m. and will be streamed on B1G+.
