The Creighton women’s soccer team earned its first conference victory over the University of Northern Iowa on Sept. 23—the team’s second straight win. After both teams were scoreless in the first half, the 1-0 victory came by way of freshman midfielder Shonna Fraser’s first career goal at 66:19 into the game, with the assist coming from teammate junior forward Brittney Neumann.

“Today was a grind-it-out victory,” head coach Bruce Erickson said. “I thought we created enough chances to possibly score three or four goals, but we will take the goal we got.  I thought we played well; it wasn’t a game where UNI was giving us a lot of chances to get behind. We really had to work for everything.  All in all I was pleased with it. We are continuing to play better.”
