OMAHA, Neb. - Xavier women's soccer opened up BIG EAST Conference play with a 1-0 win at Creighton on Sunday afternoon. The Musketeers move to 2-2 on the season and are 1-0 in conference action.
Creighton opened the game creating pressure on offense, outshooting the Musketeers 7-3 and taking three corner kicks before the break, but a pair of saves kept the Bluejays scoreless.
