THE SCOUT
Creighton went 8-7-2 last season and 5-4-1 in the Big East … the Blue Jays were bounced, 2-0, by Connecticut in the Big East Championship Quarterfinals a year ago … Creighton's last game against an SEC team was August 20, 2023 in a 3-1 loss to Missouri at home … the Blue Jays return their leading goal scorer from last season, Ariana Mondiri, who tallied five of Creighton's 21 goals on the season … goalkeeper Alyssa Zalac returns for her senior season after starting all 17 games in goal last season … head coach Jimmy Walker is in his second season leading the Blue Jays after head coaching stops at Bowling Green State, Findlay, Duquesne and Findlay.
SEC WATCH LIST
Six Sooners were named to the SEC Preseason Watch List, setting a program high after five were tabbed to the team last year. Naomi Clark, Caroline Duffy, Kayla Keefer, Hadley Murrell, Michelle Pak and Alexis Washington were all selected to the team.
WATCH LIST WASHINGTON
Senior Alexis Washington returns having played in 58 games while making 57 starts across three seasons for the Sooners … Last week she was tabbed to the United Soccer Coaches Preseason Midfielders to Watch List … with 18 assists, Washington needs two more to set the OU career record for assists … she posted three goals and four assists last season, tied with incoming sophomore Juliette Rayo for the second most goals among OU returners.
SENIORS FROM PROSPER
Seniors Hadley Murrell and Cassie Clifton, both out of Prosper, Texas, return a wealth of experience for the Sooners.
