Abigail Santana’s opportunistic playmaking has provided an early season spark for Creighton

With 10 of 11 starters returning from a squad that pushed national powerhouse Georgetown to the wire in the Big East Tournament last spring, there didn’t seem to be much left unknown about Ross Paule’s Bluejays as they kicked off their 2021 fall campaign.

Abigail Santana begged to differ.

The 5-foot-2 freshman midfielder from Marion, Iowa properly introduced herself to Creighton fans last weekend, scoring a goal in each of the team’s wins over Montana and Drake to open the season. Despite a sprained ankle cutting her spring season short, Santana was able to see action of five of the team’s 10 matches.
