Penalty kick pushes Cyclones past Bluejays

Blake Schultz

As each game passes, the ISU freshmen soccer players add more and more to a team that gets better each time out.

Friday night, freshman Caitlin Graboski was the one who stepped up.

In the 40th minute in the first half, Graboski was fouled while in the Creighton box, giving her an opportunity at a penalty kick. She buried the shot and gave the Cyclones a 1-0 lead. The goal wound up being the game winner.

The Cyclone defense was stellar once again, only allowing Creighton six shots on goal in the first half.

Freshman keeper Maddie Jobe picked up right where she left off after her first set of games last weekend and saved all seven shots that came her way.

With the win, Jobe remains undefeated on the season, and brought the Cyclones to 4-0-1.

Iowa State is in action again on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Omaha against North Dakota State.
