Roster Information

2 www.gocreighton.com

Roster depth and flexibility have become sta-ples during the Bruce Erickson era of

Creighton women’s soccer, and the 2007 rostermay be the epitome of Erickson’s nine-yeartenure in Omaha. Half of this year’s roster islisted at more than one position, giving Ericksonthe ability to mix and match lineups with the goalof once again climbing back to the top of theMissouri Valley Conference.

The Bluejays have six seniors on the rosterthis fall, after losing seven key players from lastyear’s team. Losses from 2006 includeCreighton’s only first-team all-MVC honoreeEmily Munn and another pair of all-conferenceteam members, Katie Brennan and KristineWillrett. Along with replacing that trio of talent-ed field players, the Bluejays must find a consis-tent net-minder after losing the all-timeCreighton leader in goals against average,Valerie Zimmerer (0.96).

Goalkeeping may be the biggest question forErickson and the Bluejays to answer headinginto the 2007 campaign. Junior Kristen Caseyreturns as the only keeper with collegiate expe-rience after a solid sophomore season whichsaw her start eight of the nine matches in whichshe appeared. She logged a solid 1.01 goalsagainst average in over 800 minutes of play,while posting two shutouts in net and steadilyimproving throughout the season.

The Bluejays had expected senior HeatherCurrie to return to the fold in net as well, but thepost concussion symptoms that forced her tomiss all but one match last year have now puther career on hold. Redshirt freshman JustineO’Neill-Hedlund will now provide Casey withcompetition for minutes in goal.

Erickson believes the overall consistency hereceives from his defense could be the biggestkey to success for this year’s Bluejays. Heknows he has the talented personnel in place,but needs them to gel and play together in orderto achieve success.

Canadian national team member EdenHingwing will have a full preseason under herbelt this year after missing preseason practiceand two matches last year due to national teamcommitments. Already an imposing force in theback, the sophomore is expected to be evenbetter in her center back role this year. SeniorSam Russell tied for the team lead with fourassists last year and she should continue herstrong play alongside Hingwing in the middle ofthe Bluejay defense.

Senior Heather Duncan and junior NicoleDeLue will both make moves to the outside ofthe defense this fall. Duncan had a career-yearlast year, earning honorable mention all-MVCaccolades as a midfielder. DeLue was one ofthe top players this spring for the Jays and herability to create with the ball as well as defendgives Erickson options on the attack. Both play-ers could see time in the midfield as well.

Rookies Tara Bailey and Brittni Deeb willalso have roles in the back. Bailey redshirted oncampus last year, while Erickson likes Deeb’sability to defend one-on-one.

The Creighton midfield could be the most tal-ented unit on the pitch this fall. Not only do theBluejays have talent to work with in the midfield,but a multitude of players competing for fourstarting spots is bound to make preseasonworkouts the most hotly contested in recentyears.

Senior Tristan Moser-Bleil along withsophomores Shawn Magrum and Anne Peetzall saw significant minutes as central midfielderslast year and each are expected to compete forthose spots again. Moser-Bleil has been astarter in parts of each of her three seasons oncampus, with three goals and seven assists inher career. Magrum has been slowed byinjuries in her Bluejay career, taking a medicalredshirt in 2005, while playing just 10 matcheslast fall. Peetz appeared in 13 matches as arookie last year, scoring twice and adding twoassists.

Junior Lindsay Vaught provides Creighton’smost dangerous option wide in the midfield.The most consistent player for the Jays in thespring, Vaught scored three goals in just 11matches played last year. She is also expectedto see time up front for the Jays this season.Seniors Katy and Ally Peetz, older sisters ofAnne, provide speed and experience as widemidfielders. The twins have combined to play in110 matches and make 67 starts in their firstthree seasons on campus. Sophomore KylaHoskins also presents a quality option on the

outside in the midfield.Four talented newcomers will also look to

impress enough to earn playing time in their firstseason at Creighton. Sophomore transfer MaryZapapas was tabbed the Sun Belt Freshman ofthe Year while playing for one of the top offens-es in the NCAA last year at Middle Tennessee.Zapapas scored 11 goals and had four assists inher rookie season for the Blue Raiders.

Freshmen Grace Kwon, Emily Orbell andClaire Zach all bring impressive prep resumésto Omaha. Kwon is Erickson’s first Georgiarecruit, Orbell is a three-time all-state performerfrom Minnesota and Zach will play soccer in herhometown, having graduated from OmahaMarian High School.

A trio of forwards hope to help the Bluejaysrebound from one of the lowest scoring cam-paigns in school history. The Jays scored 26goals in 19 matches last year and their 296shots attempted were the lowest total for aBluejay squad in a decade.

Toch Ihemelu led the team with five goalsand 10 points scored last year. The fleet-footedsenior is the rare performer that is capable ofcompletely taking over the game on her own.

Junior Marcy Gans enters her third seasonwith the Bluejays as the team’s active leaderwith 10 goals and 28 points in her career. Thetalented attacker owns Morrison Stadiumrecords for career goals (7), career shots (63)and career shots on goal (32).

Sophomore Jordan Bruch couples withGans as a duo that works well together. Bruchjoined Hingwing on the MVC All-Freshman teamlast year, scoring a goal and adding two assistsas a rookie. The Papillion, Neb., native rankedsecond on the team with 27 shots in 2006.

Senior Sam Russell tied for the team lead with fourassists last year and is a past all-Missouri ValleyConference honoree.

“Billy Bluejay” is the official mascot of the CreightonUniversity athletics department. The Bluejays were origi-nally depicted by a “birdwatcher’s bluejay,” but that waschanged in 1941 when Joseph P. Murphy, a Creightonalumnus, designed the current version of Billy, one with amore human stance and expression.

Prior to 1924, Creighton teams were referred to as the“Hilltoppers,” but that name lost favor because at least sixother teams in the country also used the same nickname.The Omaha Bee assisted the University’s Athletic Boardand Alumni Association in finding a new nickname by ask-ing readers to submit possibilities. After reviewing 200entries, the Athletic Board decided upon “Bluejays”because of the school’s colors, blue and white.

Today, Creighton remains the only NCAA Division I ath-letics program known officially as the Bluejays.

President Rev. John P. Schlegel, S.J.


Fr. Schlegel became Creighton’s 23rd president in August, 2000.

Bruce Rasmussen enters his 14th year asdirector of athletics, and 28th overall atCreighton University.

During his tenure, Creighton has risen toprominence with its success on-and-off the field,impressive new facilities and record-breakingfundraising efforts.

The men’s soccer team is one of a handfulof schools to appear in each of the last 15 NCAATournaments, while the men’s basketball teamis just the second team in the 101-year history ofthe Missouri Valley Conference to reach thepostseason in 10 straight campaigns.Combined, Creighton is the only school in thecountry that can claim 10 consecutive postsea-son appearances in men’s soccer and men’sbasketball.

The Creighton softball team has made fourNCAA Tournament appearances in the last fiveyears, while the baseball team won a MVC reg-ular-season title in 2005 and MVC Tournamenttitle in 2007 while spending time in the nationalrankings in each of the past three seasons. CUwas the nation’s only school to win league tour-naments in baseball, men’s basketball andmen’s soccer in 2006-07.

Four Creighton teams moved to new facili-ties in 2003-04. The men’s basketball teammoved to the riverfront to play in the brand-new,$291 million, Qwest Center OMAHA™. Lastwinter, the Jays averaged an MVC-record15,909 fans per game and ranked 13th national-ly in attendance.

The Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadiumopened as one of the premier soccer venues inthe country. Located on the east edge of theCreighton campus, the complex includes 6,000

seats and will serve as the home for the 2007State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Men’sSoccer Tournament this fall.

Additionally, the Creighton volleyball teamfound a new home at the venerable OmahaCivic Auditorium in 2003. The move closer tocampus paid big dividends, as the program hasincreased its attendance nearly 700 percent inthe past four years.

Rasmussen also has continued to makeoutstanding hires at every opportunity. Mostrecently, Kirsten Bernthal Booth has helped thevolleyball team improve by 18 wins in her firstfour seasons, while Ed Servais earned MVCCoach of the Year honors in three of his first fouryears.

Another recent hire, women’s basketball’sJim Flanery, matched the league record with 48wins in his first two seasons. He led his firstthree teams to the postseason. CU’s 2004women’s basketball team won the school’s firstpostseason national title of any kind when theywon the WNIT.

A member of the College World Series ofOmaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussenplays a vital role in Creighton and the city ofOmaha remaining as host of the College WorldSeries. The CWS has established new atten-dance records in four of the past five years atRosenblatt Stadium.

Rasmussen was one of four regional win-ners from the National Association of CollegiateDirectors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of theYear Award.

In terms of academics, Creighton’s reputa-tion as one of the nation’s top academic institu-tions is reflected in the success the Bluejay stu-dent-athletes have had in the classroom duringRasmussen’s service as athletics director.Creighton’s baseball, men’s basketball,women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s andwomen’s cross country, women’s soccer andmen’s and women’s tennis teams all havereceived national awards for their academicsuccess. Bluejay student-athletes consistentlyown GPA’s of 3.25 or above.

Creighton’s primary annual fund-raisingevents are the Bluejay Bash and the BluejayJamboree. Under Rasmussen’s supervision,each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Mostnotably, the 2006 Jamboree generated morethan $291,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffleand auction.

The successful fund-raising efforts haveallowed Creighton to enhance its soccer, base-ball and softball facilities under Rasmussen’sleadership. In 1998, the $1.7 million Student-Athlete Support Center renovation project wascompleted in the Old Gymnasium, resulting inseven new team locker rooms, an expandedathletic training facility, new offices and storagespace and an academic learning center. Thecenterpiece of the project is The Parker FamilyFoundation Academic Learning Center, whichhouses the athletic department’s academic sup-port team and features 20 computer stationsand private study areas.

Rasmussen accepted the associate athlet-ics director position in 1992 after a 12-year runas the winningest coach in Creighton women’sbasketball history (196-147), culminating in theprogram’s historic 1991-92 season.

The 1992 Western Athletic ConferenceCoach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins(28-4), the WAC regular-season and tourna-ment championships and a first-round NCAATournament victory in the program’s first-evertrip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in1991-92, Rasmussen completed his collegecoaching career with a 196-147 record, good fora .571 winning percentage.

After serving as associate athletics directorfor two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was namedathletics director on Aug. 1, 1994.

A 1971 graduate of Northern Iowa,Rasmussen came to Creighton from Bettendorf(Iowa) High School, where he put together athree-year girl’s basketball coaching record of64-15. His 1978-79 club posted a mark of 27-2and finished second at the state tournament.Rasmussen also coached at Maxwell (Iowa)High School, with a four-year record of 66-26,and Murray (Iowa) High School, with a two-yearledger of 31-13.

Student-athletes’ demand for academic supporthas increased dramatically as they attempt to bal-ance a full academic load with athletics. Therecruitment, retention and graduation of student-athletes is vital to the success of collegiate athlet-ics.

Creighton University’s Student-Athlete SupportCenter was a major renovation of existing space inthe Creighton Gymnasium, with the goal of enlarg-ing and improving locker rooms and support facili-ties. In addition to new locker rooms, the 13,000-square-foot Support Center includes The ParkerFamily Foundation Academic Learning Center, staffoffices, an expanded athletic medicine area andadditional athletics storage space.

The Parker Family Foundation AcademicLearning Center includes staff offices, 20 computerstations, study tables, sound-proof carrels for tutor-ing and partitions to divide the area into sections forquiet, individual or group study.

The Blue and White Fund was established byformer Creighton student-athletes, alumni andfriends to support this $1.7 million renovation pro-ject, which was completed in the fall of 1998.

Creighton’s all-time winningest coach, Bruce Erickson begins hisninth campaign leading the Creighton women’s soccer program.

Erickson, the 2002 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year, is themost tenured leader in Bluejay women’s soccer program history, and his81 victories make him the most successful coach in the program’sannals. He has guided the Bluejays to a MVC regular-season title, threeMVC tournament championships and has led the Bluejays to threeNCAA tournament appearances in the last five seasons.

Erickson has established the Creighton women’s soccer program asone of the top teams in the conference since his arrival prior to the 1999season. The Bluejays’ performance on the field has improved – fourstraight MVC tournament championship matches between 2002 and2005 and three NCAA appearances in a four year span (2002, 2004,2005). While on field performance has improved in posting six straightwinning seasons, the Bluejays’ facilities have also received significantupgrades. In 2003, the Bluejays opened the $13 million MorrisonStadium, a state-of-the-art, on-campus facility. The Jays were unbeaten(5-0-1) at home in 2003 and are 24-8-5 in four years at the venue.Creighton has led the Valley in attendance the past four seasons andtwice hosted the MVC Tournament at what is considered one of thefinest collegiate soccer venues in the nation.

The 2006 squad finished second in the MVC at 3-2-1, and posted a9-8-2 overall mark despite being decimated by injuries. Erickson’s firstCanadian recruit, Emily Munn wrapped up her career with her secondfirst-team all-MVC honor, while Valerie Zimmerer finished her career asthe school’s career leader with a 0.96 goals against average.

In 2005, the Bluejays owned a high-powered attack which led theleague in offense, matching the highest goal total in the Erickson erawith 44 scores. Freshman Marcy Gans led the CU offense with eightgoals and 22 points, while sophomore Kristine Willrett tied a school

record with 12 assists. Creighton was dominant at home, compiling an8-1-1 record, while winning a second straight MVC postseason title, astournament host. The 2004 Bluejays were guided by youth, managingto capture the MVC postseason title for the second time in school histo-ry after finishing second in the regular-season with a 3-1-3 leaguerecord.

Creighton’s 2003 season was marked by injuries, but Erickson stillguided his team to a solid 11-6-4 record. The Jays established a schoolrecord with a 0.81 overall goals against average in 2003. They alsoappeared in the MVC tournament championship match for the secondconsecutive season, falling in penalty kicks after a hard-fought doubleovertime match.

Erickson’s 2002 squad won the MVC regular-season title with anunbeaten 6-0-1 record in conference play. The Jays then captured theMVC tournament title with a thrilling 1-0 overtime win against IllinoisState, advancing to the first NCAA tournament in program history. The2002 team allowed only three goals in seven MVC matches for a 0.42goals against average.

Erickson’s teams have ranged from offensively gifted to defensivelystifling. The Bluejays dished 49 assists in 2001 and established a schoolrecord of 50 helpers in 2000. The Jays capitalized on their assists dur-ing that two-year run. Their 88 goals over the 2000 and 2001 seasonshave been topped only by the 1989-90 teams (92 goals) for the mostgoals in a two-year span.

In 2002 under Erickson’s guidance, Jaimie Thompson became thefirst goalkeeper in league history to win the MVC Player of the Yearaward. Regina Moench captured 2001 MVC Freshman of the Year hon-ors and in 2004 Franny Hylok became just the second player in schoolhistory to earn all-MVC honors in each of her four seasons at CU.

“Bruce is a tremendous women’s soccer coach,” Creighton AthleticsDirector Bruce Rasmussen said. “His experience is matched by fewcoaches in the country. His administrative background, coupled with hisknowledge of the game, make Bruce one of the top women’s soccercoaches in the country.”

The Jays’ success under Erickson extends beyond the playing fieldas he has coached 16 MVC first-team scholar-athletes and the Bluejayshave won the NSCAA College Team Academic Award each of the pastseven seasons. In 2003, Krystle Campa earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. On the field, 17 Bluejays have earned first-team all-MVC honors during his tenure.

Erickson came to Creighton from Viterbo University in La Crosse,Wis., where he had served as head men’s soccer coach since 1993 anddirector of athletics since 1995. He helped instill a winning soccer tradi-tion at the NAIA school, as the V-Hawks were consistently nationally-ranked during his tenure. The Brooklyn Park, Minn., native also was

Head coach Bruce Erickson with his wife, Sue, and their threechildren, Emma, Olivia and Noah.

2007 Bluejay Opponents


Fresh off a centennial celebration in 2006-07, the Missouri ValleyConference begins its second centennial as a leader in college ath-letics and is the nation's second-oldest NCAA Division I conference.

In the league's first 100 seasons, 32 members combined for 27national championships, while 56 Valley student-athletes capturedNCAA individual titles. In addition, Valley student-athletes andcoaches earned 50 National Player or Coach of the Year honors intheir respective sports. And the league had a myriad of student-ath-letes who collected All-America honors and earned national acade-mic distinction in The Valley's first century.

The Missouri Valley Conference continues to lead by example asone of college athletics' most progressive conferences. The Valleyemphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressivein its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions.

While the success of men's basketball has received the greatestattention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually everysport continues to raise the national profile of the conference.

In men's basketball, The Valley has received much nationalacclaim over the past decade during its return to prominence. In2007-08, the MVC will be looking to extend its streak of consecutiveseasons with two or more teams advancing to NCAA Tournamentplay to 10-straight years. Last year, two teams (Creighton, SouthernIllinois) made the field with SIU reaching the Sweet 16. Meanwhile,the league finished No. 6 - its all-time high - in the RatingsPercentage Index (RPI) a second-straight season. Notably, TheValley has had 10 post-season teams in men's basketball over thepast two seasons, with three NCAA Sweet 16 trips (Bradley,Southern Illinois and Wichita State).

The Valley made history in March 2007 with record attendancefor four days at St. Louis' Scottrade Center as 85,074 fans turned outto watch the five sessions of the tournament. The two sellout crowdsof 22,612 for the semifinals and final of the 2007 State FarmTournament set an all-time attendance record for basketball at thearena and also gave The Valley the distinction of having the largestchampionship crowd for any of the 30 NCAA conferences in 2007.

There were plenty of other milestones for The Valley in the ath-letic arena in 2006-07. In February 2007, The Valley announced itsState Farm Missouri Valley Conference Women's BasketballChampionship would move to a neutral site for the first time inleague history, bringing the championship to The Family Arena inSaint Charles, Mo. Three league teams, meanwhile, represented theMVC in post-season play as Drake, despite its No. 8 seed, won theleague tourney to reach the NCAAs, while Illinois State andSouthern Illinois each got to the second round of the WNIT.

In baseball, Wichita State was nationally ranked for the entireseason, winning 53 games and finishing one series win shy of reach-ing the College World Series. Creighton won the State Farm MVCTournament behind the MVP pitching performance of juniorambidextrous hurler Pat Venditte as the Bluejays joined theShockers in NCAA play.

Three Missouri Valley Conference softball programs -- 2007MVC Tournament champion Creighton, Illinois State and SouthernIllinois -- represented the league in the 2007 NCAA Division I SoftballChampionship. It marked the fifth-consecutive year The Valley hasearned multiple bids to the NCAA tournament and the third-straightseason in which three teams have earned spots in the field. SIUhosted a NCAA regional, and each Valley team won a tournamentgame.

In men's soccer, Creighton won the league tournament champi-onship and gained a spot in its 15th consecutive NCAA SoccerTournament. Bradley tied for the regular-season championship butfailed to earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament. In women's soccer,Drake won its first State Farm MVC Tournament title to secure itsfirst NCAA Tournament berth in school history.

In volleyball, for the first time in league history, two teamsadvanced to the second round of the NCAA Volleyball Tournamentin the same year as conference champ UNI and tournament runner-up Missouri State advanced with 3-1 victories in opening-round play.The Panthers defeated Big South champion Winthrop and MissouriState defeated Arkansas of the Southeastern Conference.

During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley's ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hostingNCAA events in St. Louis. That role came to a spectacular climax in

April 2005 as the conference collaborated with local partners tostage the Men's Final Four at the Edward Jones Dome.

And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progressivein pursuing NCAA events, the oldest Division I athletic conferencewest of the Mississippi River has continued to be a national leaderin the athletic arena.

The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administratorsrepresenting five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel inKansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formedthe Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association wereWashington University of St. Louis, and the state universities ofIowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initialmeeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State --were admitted.

In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport.Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the followingsports: baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's andwomen's cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men'sand women's golf, men's and women's soccer, softball, women'sswimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, and women's vol-leyball.

Athletic accomplishments on the men's athletics side include 10national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four,a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Seriesqualifiers. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women'saccomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women'sBasketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and MissouriState (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) inwomen's basketball, while MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women'sFinal Four appearance, and Creighton (2003) and Drake (1999)have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament.

Indeed, the inclusion of women's programs under The Valleybanner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate AthleticConference -- which began in 1982 -- merged with the MissouriValley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conferenceon July 1, 1992.

And while the inclusion of women's sports under a comprehen-sive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league's storiedhistory, over the years, Valley student-athletes and coaches havebecome household names during the league's illustrious history,both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professionalcareers.

In fact, The Valley began honoring that tradition in the summer of1997, when the conference began its athletics Hall of Fame. HerseyHawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State, Wes Unseld ofLouisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State, Dave Stallworth ofWichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis, and Oscar Robertson ofCincinnati were members of the initial induction class. Currently,more than 30 former players, coaches and alums dot the league'sHall of Fame.

Men's basketball, perhaps, has the league's most storied tradi-tion with the likes of Hall of Famers Bird and Robertson, but TheValley has also produced national-caliber student-athletes in itsother sponsored sports. In 2001, Missouri State's Jackie Stilesbecame the first Valley woman to earn the Honda-Broderick Cup,given to the nation's top female collegiate student-athlete. In thesport of track and field, Indiana State's Holli Hyche captured sevennational sprint titles in the early 1990s, Southern Illinois' Darrin Plabwon back-to-back NCAA outdoor high jump titles in 1991 and 1992,and SIU's Brittany Riley became the World record holder in theweight throw in 2007. In the fall of 1997, Creighton's Johnny Torreswas named the collegiate male soccer player of the year for a sec-ond-straight year, while SMU's Luchi Gonzalez (2001) and Tulsa'sRyan Pore (2004) have also earned a National Player of the Yearhonor in men's soccer. Meanwhile league member Wichita Statehas produced three national collegiate players of the year in base-ball, including Joe Carter (1981), Phil Stephenson (1982) andDarren Dreifort (1993).

League members include Bradley University, CreightonUniversity, Drake University, the University of Evansville, IllinoisState University, Indiana State University, Missouri State University,the University of Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois University, andWichita State University.

The Creighton Soccer programs entered a new era in 2003 with theopening of an on-campus soccer facility, the Michael G. Morrison,

S.J., Stadium. The Jays moved to the facility after playing home gamesat Tranquility Park in western Omaha from 1989 through 2002.

The Arena Grass all weather surface is the first of its kind in the UnitedStates and makes the playing surface at the facility one of the finest in thecountry. With the downtown Omaha skyline to the south, Qwest CenterOMAHA to the east, the Creighton campus expansion to the west and sit-uated just blocks from the Old Market, the new facility places student-ath-letes in the middle of it all.

Morrison Stadium’s seating capacity is 6,000. Construction was com-pleted on the stadium in 2004 and it includes a state-of-the-art video andscoreboard, team souvenir shop, covered chairback seating, luxurysuites, enclosed press box, concession stands and banquet area.

The Bluejays enjoyed an undefeated home season in the inauguralcampaign at Morrison Stadium, going 5-0-1 at home in 2003. Creightonhas led the Missouri Valley Conference in attendance each of the pastfour seasons and seven of the largest home crowds in school historyhave come through the gates in the last four years. CU is 24-8-5 (.716)all-time and 9-1-2 (.833) in conference play at Morrison Stadium.

The Creighton men’s and women’s soccer programs have led theMissouri Valley Conference in average attendance in each of the last fourseasons at Morrison Stadium.
