Katie Sullivan might have been the only one of Creighton’s 35 players who wasn’t in a celebratory mood after last Friday’s season-opening win over Kansas State. The redshirt sophomore goalkeeper from Wheaton, Illinois admitted that it was hard to sleep after conceding what head coach Ross Paule characterized as two “soft goals” in the first 10 minutes against the Wildcats.
Sullivan should get plenty of rest when her head hits the pillow on Thursday night after she made a pair of superb saves late in the match to preserve a 1-0 win over South Dakota State and help the Creighton women’s soccer team improve to 2-0-0 on the season.
