In her final year of a college soccer career that has experienced more losing than winning, Taryn Jakubowski wasn’t going to trade any moment of her team’s 4-1 start to the season for better-looking statistics. But at the end of the day, Creighton’s senior co-captain felt that she could be doing more to help her team succeed.
That led the First Team All-Big East midfielder to put in as much extra work as she could in between classes and practice during the past week, and on Sunday it produced results as she buried the ball in the back of the net in the 25th and 85th minute to lead the Bluejays (5-1-0) to a 3-1 win over an Oklahoma side that was receiving votes entering Sunday afternoon’s match at Morrison Stadium.
