This Week: The ninth-ranked Bluejays conclude their four-game road trip by playing at No. 1-ranked Akron on Wednesday. The match is CU's first against a top-ranked team in nine years and their first ever meeting with the Zips. The Jays then return home for a first-place MVC showdown, welcoming Valley newcomer SIU Edwardsville for a 7 pm Saturday match.
Last Week: Creighton won a pair of conference road matches last week, starting with a come-from-behind 2-1 win at Drake last Wednesday. Kris Clark scored a pair of first-half goals at Drake to help the Jays rebound from an early Bulldog goal. Ethan Finlay and Dion Acoff each scored in a 2-0 win at Central Arkansas, while the shutout was goalkeeper Brian Holt's 26th career clean sheet – tying the school record. Acoff, who scored on goal and assisted two others was named the MVC Offensive Player of the Week.
Scouting #9 Creighton (11-2-0, 4-0-0 MVC): Creighton won its first four games via shutout, jumped out to its best start since 1998 and is 4-0-0 in the MVC for the first time since 1999. The Jays are 5-0-0 in true road games this year and have not lost a road match in the regular-season since 2006, going 15-0-7 in that span. The Bluejays lead the MVC and rank 20th in the NCAA with 2.1 goals per game and top the league in points per game (6.7) and assists per game (2.5). Preseason All-American forward Ethan Finlay, a MAC Hermann Trophy candidate, leads the league and ranks sixth in the NCAA with 11 goals and ranks sixth in the nation and tops the MVC with 1.9 points per game (24 in 13). A pair of Bluejay sophomores are tied for the team and league-lead with eight assists, as newcomer Jose Gomez and reigning MVC Freshman of the Year Dion Acoff rank seventh in the NCAA in assists. With 26 career shutouts in 47 starts, junior goalkeeper Brian Holt has tied the Bluejay shutout record and his career goals against average of 0.69 ranks second in school and MVC history. Senior Kyle Deremer, two-time MVC Defensive Player of the Week this season, is the only returning starter for the CU defense. Freshman Tyler Polak – the only Bluejay to play every minute this season – is a U.S. U-20 National Team member.
Head Coach: Jamie Clark (Stanford, 1999) is in his first season at Creighton after spending two successful seasons at Harvard in his first head coaching assignment. A former MLS player and collegiate All-American, Clark is 37-12-1 (.750) in his third season as a head coach, guiding Harvard to the NCAA Tournament in his first two years as a head coach. He was named the NSCAA Northeast Region Coach of the Year in 2009 while leading Harvard to a top-10 ranking, Ivy League championship and third round of the NCAA Tournament. Prior to becoming a head coach he served as an assistant at New Mexico and Notre Dame.
Scouting #1 Akron (13-0-1, 5-0-0 MAC): The Zips have not lost a regular-season match since 2008 and are 99-13-13 (.844) for the highest winning percentage in the NCAA since 2005. Akron is 7-0-0 at home this year and is undefeated in its last 33 home matches (32-0-1). Akron leads the NCAA with 41 goals scored, ranks second in the nation with a 0.35 goals against average and third in shutout percentage (10 shutouts in 14 matches). The Zips have out-scored opponents 41-5 on the season. Akron has a trio of MAC Hermann Trophy candidates – Darlington Nagbe (5 g, 8 a), Kofi Sarkodie (7 g, 3 a) and Anthony Ampaipitakwong (3 g, 6 a). Freshman Darren Mattocks leads the team with 11 goals and 24 points, while five Zips have at least four goals scored this year.
Road Warriors: With five road wins this year, the Bluejays are now undefeated in their last 22 regular-season road matches dating back to a 2006 loss. At 5-0-0 on the road this year, the Jays are now 15-0-7 in regular-season road games over the last four seasons (4-0-1 in 2007, 4-0-2 in 2008, 2-0-4 in 2009). CU last lost a regular-season road match on Oct. 28, 2006, a 2-1 defeat at Bradley. Since the start of the 2007 season, the Bluejays are now 20-4-7 overall in matches away from Omaha, including 15-2-7 in true road matches and 5-2-0 in neutral contests.
Toughest Test Yet: The Bluejays will put their 22-match regular-season road unbeaten streak on the line against top-ranked Akron on Wednesday. The Jays are 15-0-7 in their last 22 regular-season road matches, but run into the best team in the NCAA on the road this week. The Zips are 32-0-1 in their last 33 home matches, the fourth-longest home unbeaten streak in NCAA history.
Playing No. 1: Creighton will play at consensus No. 1-ranked Akron in its final non-conference match of the season on Wednesday. The Zips will become the fourth No. 1 team the Bluejays have played in their history. The Jays have lost their previous three meetings with the top-ranked team in the coaches poll, falling on the road at Indiana 1-0 on Nov. 27, 1994 in NCAA Tournament, 4-2 at SMU on Oct. 14, 2001 and again to SMU, 2-1 in four overtimes on Nov. 18, 2001 in the MVC Tournament championship match in St. Louis.
Pulling Rank: Creighton is 2-1-0 against top-25 opponents this year, with wins over No. 5 Tulsa (Oct. 5) and at No. 21 UC Santa Barbara (Sept. 7) and a loss to No. 18 SMU (Sept. 17). The Bluejays are now 55-40-9 (.572) all-time against the coaches top 25, including 22-16-7 (.567) all-time on the road against top-25 teams. The Jays are 15-2-1 (.861) against the NSCAA top 25 at Morrison Stadium and 25-9-2 (.722) against nationally-ranked foes at home all-time.
More Ranking Breakdowns: With its win at UC Santa Barbara in September, Creighton is now 8-2-1 in its last 11 true road matches against top-25 teams. This will be the 18th match in Creighton history featuring two top-10 teams. The Bluejays are 12-3-2 in their previious 17 matches in which both teams were ranked in the top-10 of the coaches poll.
Clark Hits 50: Creighton's match at Central Arkansas was Jamie Clark's 50th match as a head coach. His teams are 37-12-1 (.750) through his first 50 contests.
Finlay's Streak: Ethan Finlay leads the MVC with his 11 goals and 1.9 points per game (24 total). He has scored a goal in seven of CU's last nine games and scored a point in nine straight contests. Before Finlay's streak, the last Bluejay to score a point in more than eight straight matches was CU Hall of Famer and current MLS star Brian Mullan. Mullan had a point in 10 straight matches during the 2000 season. Finlay was the first Bluejay to score a point in eight straight matches since Julian Nash did so in the 2002 season. Following the lead of teammate Jose Gomez (who scored a point in six straight matches to start the season), the pair are the first Jays to record a point in six straight contests since Brian Biggerstaff in 2004.
NCAA Stats: Creighton started the week ranked ninth in the NCAA in shutout percentage (.540), with seven clean sheets in 13 matches. The Jays ranked 20th in the NCAA with 2.1 goals per game. Ethan Finlay ranks fifth in the NCAA in goals per game (0.85) and sixth in total goals (11). Finlay's 1.85 points per game rank sixth in the NCAA and his 24 points rank 12th in the nation. Jose Gomez and Dion Acoff rank seventh in the NCAA with eight assists each, while Gomez ranks sixth in assists per game and Acoff ranks seventh.
Creighton in the Polls: After receiving no votes in any preseason national poll, the Bluejays jumped into the top 25 after a solid opening week and have remained there, climbing all the way to the top-10. This week, the NSCAA, Soccer Times and College Soccer News rank the Bluejays ninth. Soccer America has the Jays at No. 10 this week.
Creighton in the RPI: The Bluejays are ranked 14th in the RPI released by the NCAA on Oct. 26, after ranking ninth in last week's RPI and 14th in the initial RPI report. Missouri State is second in the MVC with an RPI of 63. Five of CU's opponents this year are in the RPI top-50, including the top two, Akron and SMU respectively. Indiana (8), Tulsa (18) and UCSB (35) are also in the RPI top-50. Both Bluejay losses this year have come to teams inside the RPI top-10 (SMU and Indiana).
2009 vs. 2010 Offense: Creighton has scored 27 goals in 13 matches this year – seven more than it did in the entire 2009 campaign. The Jays started the week ranked 20th in the NCAA with 2.1 goals per game, one year after averaging 1.3 per match (20 goals in 16 matches).
• In 2009 Creighton had only four players score at least two goals over the entire season. This season, five players – Ethan Finlay (11), Jose Gomez (3), Andrew Ribeiro (3), Greg Jordan (3), Kris Clark (4) – have at least a pair of goals scored.
• The Bluejays have scored at least two goals in 10 of their first 13 games this year. They scored two or more goals in a match just four times in 2009.
Ten: Ethan Finlay has joined Andrei Gotsmanov as the only two Bluejays to score at least 10 goals in a season since 2003. Gotsmanov scored exactly 10 in 2008. Finlay now has 11 goals on the season, the most by a Bluejay since Mike Tranchilla's 15 goals in 2002. Finlay's three multi-goal matches this year are the most by a Bluejay since Tranchilla had three in 2002.
Holt Keeps Clean Sheets: Junior Brian Holt tied a school record with his 26th career shutout last week in a 2-0 win at Central Arkansas. Holt pulled even with his predecessor Matt Allen for the school record. With four matches remaining in the regular-season this year and the entire 2011 campaign to play, Holt is sure to obliterate not only the CU record, but also the MVC record currently held by Bradley's Chris Dunsheath (27.5).
4-0-0 in MVC: The Bluejays have won their first four MVC matches for the first time since 1999. Since its previous 4-0-0 start, the Bluejays have won four regular-season conference titles, including a pair of undefeated Valley seasons.
10 Wins in a Dozen: Creighton won at least 10 of its first 12 matches for the eighth time since 1990. The Jays were exactly 10-2-0 for the fourth time in that span and for the first time since 2004. The previous three times the Jays have had 10 wins through 12 matches, they have advanced to at least the third round of the NCAA Tournament, including a 10-2-0 start in 2000 when they reached the NCAA Championship match.
Finlay's a Winner: Junior Ethan Finlay has led the MVC in game-winning goals in each of his first two collegiate seasons and his five game-winners this year again lead the league. Of his 25 career goals, 14 are game-winners.
Chart Climbing: With a career-high 11 goals this year, junior Ethan Finlay has started to climb up the Creighton career scoring charts. The forward now has 25 goals to rank 10th in school history, becoming the first Bluejay to crack the top-10 in career scoring since Mike Tranchilla finished his career second in goals (55) in 2002. His three multiple-goal matches this year are tied for seventh in single-season CU history and his four career multi-goal matches are tied for eighth in school history. He has scored 13 goals and 32 points at home in his career to rank second in both categories in Morrison Stadium history.
Extended Road Trips: Creighton's match at Akron concludes CU's longest road trip since the 2005 season – a four-game swing. The last time CU had a four-game road trip was the 2005 season. The Jays went 2-2-0 on that trip, including 1-2-0 inside MVC play. CU went 4-0-0 on a four-game MVC road trip during the 2002 season. Last year the Bluejays also played three straight MVC road games, posting a 1-0-2 mark in those contests.
Regular-Season 4 Game Road Trips Since 2000
2005 – 2-2-0 2001 – 2-2-0
2002 – 4-0-0 2000 – 3-1-0
Finlay's Honors: Junior Ethan Finlay was named the MVC Offensive Player of the Week, MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week and College Soccer News National Player of the Week on Oct. 11 after an impressive week. The forward had two two-goal matches, striking twice against No. 5 Tulsa (Oct. 5) and again against nationally-ranked Indiana (Oct. 9).
October Dominance: Creighton is 5-1-0 this month and is looking to avoid losing twice in October since the 2005 season. The Jays went 4-1-3 last October, suffering their first October loss since 2006, which snapped a 16-match unbeaten streak in the month (11-0-5). In 2008 the Jays were 4-0-2 in October and the 2007 squad was 5-0-2 in October. Since 2002, the Bluejays are now 48-9-11 (.787) in the month of October, including four unbeaten Octobers in that span (2002, 2003, 2007, 2008).

Never Behind: Creighton scored first in its first nine matches of the season before falling behind to Indiana (Oct. 9). In fact, when Indiana scored in the first half, it marked the first time all season the Bluejays had trailed in a match with time still on the clock. The only time the Jays had been behind prior to the Indiana match this year was on SMU's double overtime game-winning goal on Sept. 17.
Quick Strikes: Ethan Finlay scored just 41 seconds into Creighton's 3-1 win over No. 5 Tulsa last Tuesday. The score was the sixth fastest score from the start of the match in school history and the second fastest in Morrison Stadium history. Andrei Gotsmanov's score against Tulsa in the 2008 NCAA Tournament was the only one faster than Finlay's at the stadium. Finlay again had a quick score on Saturday, putting it in the back of the net just 13 seconds after the halftime whistle against Indiana.
Fastest Scores From Start of Match
1. Brian Kamler, 0:16 vs. Bradley, 10-9-92
2. Vince Odorisio, 0:26 vs. UCLA, 9-10-04
3. Lance Hill, 0:30 vs. Missouri St., 11-5-94
4. Johnny Torres, 0:34 at Bradley, 10-6-95
5. Andrei Gotsmanov, 0:36 vs. Tulsa, 11-25-08
6. Ethan Finlay, 0:41 vs. Tulsa, 10-5-10
Home Shutout Streak Ends: Creighton posted four straight home shutouts to start the season, before allowing a second-half goal to No. 5 Tulsa on Oct. 5. Tulsa's goal snapped a streak of 420 consecutive scoreless minutes CU had held opponents at home to start the season. The four straight home shutouts were the longest single-season home shutout streak since the 2003 posted five consecutive home matches shutout. The Jays had posted shutouts in five straight home games dating back to last year's 1-0 home finale over UCLA and had an overall count of nearly 554 (553:46) straight shutout minutes at home dating back to last season.
Home Sweet Morrison: Including a 5-1-0 start this season, Creighton is now 57-12-11 (.781) all-time at Morrison Stadium. Creighton has lost just one home match in four of its last six seasons. Since 1990, the Bluejays are 159-28-15 (.824) at home.
Hot Starts: At 8-1-0, the Bluejays were off to their best start since the 1998 team posted an 8-1-0 start. The Jays won their first four games this season for the first time since 2000 – when that squad opened with six straight wins and advanced to the College Cup championship match. Creighton logged four straight shutouts to open the year for just the second time in school history, equalling the feat first accomplished by the 1999 team. Creighton is also 4-0-0 in MVC play for the first time since that 1999 team.
Top-Notch Meetings at Morrison: CU's match against No. 5 Tulsa (Oct. 5), was just the fourth in Morrison Stadium history featuring two top-15 teams. After the 3-1 win for the 11th-ranked Jays, Creighton is now 4-0-0 in such showdowns. The match was the 14th in the stadium's history featuring two top-25 teams.
Fantastic Freshman: Freshman Tyler Polak has played every minute of his rookie season at outside left back – the only Bluejay starter to not have been subbed for this season. He has played a team-leading 1,019 minutes because of his outstanding play on defense. Playing every minute of important matches is nothing new to the newcomer, as he played every minute of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria and the U-17 CONCACAF Tournament in Mexico in 2009 with the U.S. U-17 National Team. Now a member of the U-20 U.S. National Team Pool, he was recently ranked by TopDrawerSoccer.com as the fifth-best freshman in the country after being named a “Top 100 Freshman to Watch” by College Soccer News before the season.
Working Overtime: Creighton played in three straight overtime matches from Sept. 17-24. Despite having played in 25 overtime matches over the previous four seasons, Creighton had not played in three straight overtime games since 1990. The final three matches of the 1990 season mark the only previous time in recorded school history that the Bluejays have played three straight overtime games.
That Hurts: Creighton has lost two of its starting defenders to injury indefinitely. Senior Andrew Duran suffered a torn meniscus in his knee against SMU on Sept. 17 and had surgery on Sept. 23. Junior Jace Peters was injured against Dartmouth on Sept. 19, tearing muscles in his upper leg and abdomen area. Both players have no set date to return.
Unusual Goals: CU did now allow a goal in its first four matches this year, one of only four teams nationally to not allow a goal in the first two weeks of the season. The Jays allowed five goals in two matches on Sept. 17 and 19, yet only two came the "old fashioned" way. Two of SMU's three goals on Sept. 17 came via penalty kick, while one of Dartmouth's two tallies on Sept. 19 was a Bluejay own goal.
Ribeiro's Firsts: Sophomore Andrew Ribeiro scored his first career goal against 18th-ranked SMU on Sept. 17, in his ninth career match off the bench for the Bluejays. He earned his first career start against Eastern Illinois on Oct. 1, after coming off of the bench in his first 11 career appearances.
Duran Duran: Senior Andrew Duran has been slowed by injuries throughout his career, limiting him to just 30 matches through his first three seasons. Duran, the 2006 NSCAA National High School Player of the Year, scored his first collegiate goal in a 1-0 win at No. 21 UC Santa Barbara (Sept. 7). Duran has again been bitten by the injury bug this season, suffering a torn meniscus against SMU on Sept. 17 and undergoing surgery on Sept. 23. With Duran on the pitch, the Bluejays did not allow a goal through four and a half matches.
First Two Weeks = Sweeps: Through two weeks of the season, Creighton accounted for all four weekly honors awarded by the Missouri Valley Conference. In week one, Kris Clark and Kyle Deremer were named Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively. In week two, Jose Gomez and Brian Holt notched the same honors. Deremer again earned MVC Defensive Player of the Week honors on Sept. 27.
Clean Sheets: Creighton opened the season with four consecutive shutouts for just the second time in school history – the 1999 squad posted four straight clean sheets to open the season. The Bluejays rank ninth in the NCAA in shutout percentage this year.
A Hoie There!: Redshirt junior goalkeeper Bryan Hoie made his regular-season collegiate debut for the Bluejays in their shutout of UNC Greensboro (Sept. 4). Hoie, in his fourth year with the program, faced no shots while playing just over nine minutes in his first action as a Bluejay.
Bluejays Hit Blackjack: Creighton has its smallest roster since 1996, with just 21 student-athletes listed on the squad this year. The entire roster of 21 played in CU's 4-0 win over UNC Greensboro on Sept. 4. The small roster is in sharp contrast to the last decade at Creighton, where the average roster size was 30.2 between 2000-09. That 1996 team had 22 players on the squad, but capped the season by appearing in the first College Cup Final Four in school history.
Clark Wins Debut: Head coach Jamie Clark won 2-0 over Loyola Chicago on Sept. 1 in his first match as CU's leader. The win puts the six all-time Bluejay coaches at 5-1-0 in their debut match. (The only head coach to lose in his debut was Bret Simon, falling to No. 20 Duke in 1995.)
Scoring in Debut: Sophomore transfer Jose Gomez scored at Loyola Chicago on Sept. 1 to become the first Bluejay to score in his Creighton debut since another transfer did so in 2005. Brian Kallman (older brother of current sophomore Brent Kallman) scored in his first game of his only season at Creighton, helping the Bluejays tie Portland 1-1 on Sept. 2, 2005. Gomez, who has three goals and 13 points, has avoided Kallman's fate, as that proved to be the only goal of his season.
Don't Shoot: The Bluejays did not allow a shot on goal in their season-opening win at Loyola Chicago (Sept. 1). It marked the first time since Oct. 18, 2008 that the Bluejays held an opponent without a shot on goal. CU allowed only two shots total to the Ramblers, the fewest shots by a Bluejay foe since Memphis attempted only three shots on Oct. 8, 2008. Since 2000, the Jays have posted six matches in which they allowed three shots, but none with two or fewer before their 2010 opener.
California Dreaming: With its 1-0 win at No. 21 UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 7, Creighton is now 10-0-3 in its last 13 meetings with California-based schools. The Bluejays have posted three straight on 1-0 wins over ranked California teams. In fact, Creighton has not allowed a goal to a California school in its last nine meetings, out-scoring Golden State squads 10-0 in that span. CU last allowed a goal to a California school in a 2-2 tie with San Diego State on Aug. 31, 2007 and last lost to a team from California on Sept. 7, 2003 (2-1, 2OT, at Loyola Marymount).
Ethan Finlay Nets Preseason Honors: Junior forward Ethan Finlay has joined a long list of former Bluejays that have been candidates for college soccer's top individual honor, as he has been named to the preseason MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List. Finlay, who has also been tabbed to Soccer America's Preseason All-America Team, led the team with eight goals and 19 points as a sophomore and is CU's active career leader with 14 goals, seven assists and 35 points. He has led the team and MVC in game-winning goals in each of his first two seasons, as nine of his 14 career goals have been game-winners. Finlay is now on the long list of National Player of the Year candidates from Creighton, including the 1997 winner and current assistant coach, Johnny Torres.

Strong Schedule: Jamie Clark inherited one of the toughest schedules in the nation this year, one that features seven teams which advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2009. Akron, the 2009 NCAA runner-up, began the season ranked No. 1 in the NSCAA, Soccer America and College Soccer News preseason polls. The Jays also played preseason No. 7 Tulsa and No. 8 UC Santa Barbara. The Jays played at UCSB – the site of this season's NCAA College Cup – on Sept. 7. MVC foe Drake, which advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals last year, was ranked 14th in the preseason polls. CU also played preseason No. 20 Indiana. In addition to those five squads, the Jays also play 2009 NCAA teams Dartmouth and Missouri State this fall.
MVC Preseason Poll: For the first time since 2004, the Bluejays are not favored to win the Missouri Valley Conference as voted on by league coaches. MVC coaches have tabbed Creighton for a third-place finish, behind Evansville and defending regular-season champion Missouri State. This marks just the second time in 20 years of MVC soccer that the Jays have not been picked to finish in the top-two, as CU was tabbed third in the initial MVC preseason poll in 1991. The Bluejays, who have been picked to win The Valley 12 times, own a league record nine regular-season titles.
Welcome and Goodbye: The MVC welcomes two new affiliate men's soccer members this fall, as Southern Illinois Edwardsville and Central Arkansas join the league for the sport. This season also marks the final season that Eastern Illinois will be an affiliate of the MVC in men's soccer. The Panthers, who have been an MVC soccer affiliate since 1996, will become an affiliate member of the Summit League in 2011.
Familiar Faces Return: Jamie Clark retained assistant coach Johnny Torres on his staff, while two other former Bluejay standouts have returned to the bench this fall. Matt Wieland, the 2003 MVC Defensive Player of the Year and 2005 NSCAA Third-Team All-American, is serving as CU's graduate manager this season. Michael Kraus, 2006 MVC Player of the Year, has returned to campus to complete his undergraduate work this semester and will be a student assistant coach for the Bluejays while finishing up his school work.
Torres is HOFer: Assistant coach Johnny Torres, already a Creighton Athletics Hall of Famer, will be inducted into the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame in March, 2011 – becoming the first soccer inductee into the Valley's Hall. A two-time National Player of the Year with the Bluejays between 1994 and 1997, Torres is arguably the greatest soccer player in school and league history, ending his career as the MVC's all-time leader in points (128) and assists (36).
