Creighton and Seton Hall did not meet before the schools became BIG EAST foes prior to the 2013 season.
Creighton's Conference Opener Success
The Bluejays are a perfect 3-0 in BIG EAST regular-season openers.
Creighton's last regular season conference-opener loss occured during the 2011 season at Missouri State as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, and the last conference home-opener loss occured in 2009, also to Missouri State.
The Bluejays are 9-2-2 in conference home-openers at Morrison Stadium and 21-2-2 all-time.
Conference Match For Homecoming
This season marks the second time the Blujeays have started the BIG EAST schedule with a Homecoming match. Creighton opened the 2013 slate against St. John's (Sept. 21) in the first BIG EAST regular-season conference matchup in any sport at Creighton. The Bluejays defeated the Red Storm 1-0 in double overtime.
Last Time Out
Myles Englis and Ricky Lopez-Espin provided a pair of first-half goals and Riggs Lennon scored during the second half on a free kick to give Creighton a 3-0 victory over UMKC on Tuesday night.

Everybody Takes A Shot
The Bluejays tallied a season-high 29 shots, including 12 on goal, during Creighton's 3-0 win on Tuesday night against UMKC.

Tuesday's shot total was the most by Creighton since the team posted 39 against Villanova last season (Oct. 24).

He also has 16 saves through five matches this season, while allowing two goals in 470 minutes of action.
