At Georgetown Thursday, Return home vs Creighton on Sunday
CHICAGO - The DePaul women's soccer team (5-3-2, 1-0-0) returns to action this week with two contests - a road trip to take on 7th-ranked Georgetown at 2:00 p.m. CT on Thursday before returning home to host Creighton at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.Â
Last Time Out
The Blue Demons put up a dominant performance against Seton Hall on Saturday courtesy of Franny Cerny's two goals and Madeline Frick's insurance goal to secure its first BIG EAST shutout victory, 3-0, in South Orange, New Jersey. Senior captain Cerny tallied two goals against the Pirates increasing her season total to six goals. She notched the first goal in the 39th minute, off a well-placed cross from sophomore transfer Jessica Lazo, heading it over the goalkeeper's hands. The second goal would come in the 73rd minute off a ball from Mary Tierney. Cerny lead the BIG EAST in goals last year with 10 and has already cut that more than in half with eight games remaining on the season. Madeline Frick would notch an insurance goal in the 83rd minute and seal the deal for the Blue Demons, her second of the season. Freshman goalkeeper Mollie Eriksson made three saves against Seton Hall, recording her fifth shutout of the season.Â
Scouting the Hoyas
#7 Georgetown (8-0-2, 1-0-0) moved up three spots in the rankings in the United Soccer Coaches Poll from No. 10 to No. 7 this week, following their 3-0 win at St. John's. This is their highest ranking of the season and their best since being ranked fifth in the 2017 Preseason Poll. Leading the offense is Caitlin Farrell, with seven goals on the season, good enough for 15 points on the season, as well as two game-winners. Right behind her is Kyra Carusa with five goals, three assists and three game-winners. Goalkeeper Arielle Shechtman has tallied six shutouts on the season with a save percentage of 0.917 and recorded a GAA of 0.24.Â
Series Stuff
In the last eight meetings, the series sits in favor of DePaul 3-1-4. Two of the Blue Demons victories came in the 2014 BIG EAST Championship and the 2013 Semifinals. In 2016, DePaul defeated the Hoyas 4-1 before losing the Championship game in penalty kicks after playing through double overtime. Overall, the all-time record sits at 8-5-4 in favor of Georgetown. Last season, Georgetown secured a 4-0 shutout of the Blue Demons at Wish Field.Â
Scouting the Blue Jays
Creighton sits at 4-5-0 after securing their first BIG EAST victory over conference rival Xavier, 1-0, last week. This week, they face St. John's on Thursday before traveling to Wish Field to take on the DePaul Blue Demons. Their offense, led by Taryn Jakubowski and Aline Reinkober - each with two goals on the season - is averaging just 0.89 goals per game. Rookie goalkeeper Katie Sullivan has three shutouts under her belt including the win against Xavier and a GAA of 1.54.Â
More Series Stuff
DePaul leads this series 5-0-0. Three of those five victories have been shutouts, including last year's 2-0 win that featured then junior-Franny Cerny's sixth and seventh goal of her 10 total last season and was DePaul's fifth shutout of the year.Â
