Thanks, guys!

Yes, definitely chilly!  It was also amusing to find out that the Creighton officials were going around to the usual suspects in the student section, telling them the NCAA was prohibiting noisemakers, vuvuzelas, drums, etc for the match.

Sergio Castillo Drafted by Houston Dynamo

Well I'm sorry to report that coach Jamie Clark will be leaving next season to coach at Washington in order to be closer to his wife's family. Sad news, what a loss.

GoCreighton wrote:Creighton University Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen announced Wednesday the hiring of Elmar Bolowich as the next head coach of the Bluejay men's soccer program.  Bolowich, the 2010 ACC Coach of the Year, has served as the head coach at North Carolina for the last 22 seasons, leading the Tar Heels to the 2001 NCAA championship, College Cup appearances in each of the last three seasons and 15 NCAA Tournament appearances since 1989.

WOW!  I wonder if Creighton dropped some major cash on this guy or what the situation was because while Creighton is a great program to coach at NC is no doubt one of the top places to coach too.

CSN Pre-Season Top Thirty Rankings

9. UC Santa Barbara
10. Brown
College Soccer News wrote:6.  Creighton – New Bluejay head coach Elmar Bolovwich, who directed North Carolina to the Final Four for the past three seasons, will seek to keep his string alive at Creighton. The Bluejays should be very good this year.  Some have even suggested that they might win it all.  That might be a stretch but then again maybe not.  Eight starters are back including senior forward Ethan Finley (15g, 4a) who was the MVC Player of the Year and sophomore defender Tyler Polak who was the MVC Freshman of the Year return.  The Bluejays return a dynamic midfield that includes Jose Gomez (5g, 9a), Greg Jordan (3g, 3a), Kris Clark (4g, 5a) and Dion Acoff (1g, 10a).  Senior Jace Peters also returns in the back and talented senior Brian Holt, who holds the school record for career shutouts, is among the best netminders in the country.

They travel to Maryland next week too that will be a HUGE matchup.

This has been an awesome start though, probably the most impressive team in college soccer so far.  They are the only team to have not given up a goal in D1 I am pretty sure.

The streak continues. Creighton went 1-0 over St Mary last night thanks to a penalty shot in the 1st half. There was some rough play last night and it looked like there was going to be a scuffle towards the end of the game. Exciting stuff!  

Also, tried out a goal cam setup. Here's the goalie squad warming up..

Creighton drops another 0-1 loss at Maryland. They have played Maryland 5 times now, all at their crib, going all-time 1-3-1.

CU wins 2-1 and it looks like UCSB got desperate at the end with two red cards - one at '84 and one at '87, UCSB scored at '78.
CU will host the winner of the UNM and USF on Dec 3 at 1 pm.

At 1 still?  I was glad it was originally on Saturday so it didn't have to compete with the basketball game crowd.
