Series History: Creighton leads UMKC, 4-2-2

Scouting UMKC (2-4-0)
The Roos return nine starters and 13 letterwinners overall from last season.
Missouri-Kansas City was picked to finish second in the WAC preseason poll.
The season for the Roos has been a little bit of a roller coaster. UMKC opened 2017 with consecutive losses at Oral Roberts (2-1) and at Oklahoma State (4-1). The Roos returned home with back-to-back wins over Illinois-Chicago (2-0) and South Dakota State (1-0), but have dropped its last two matches. Overall UMKC is 2-0-0 at home and 0-4-0 on the road.
The key the season thus far has been the defensive play for the Roos. In the two victories, UMKC posted shutouts, while in each of the four losses the Roos have allowed at least two goals.

Socctoberfest History
Women's soccer has fared well during Creighton's annual Socctoberfest celebration, winning three of the four times it has participated. The Bluejays fell in 2012 to Evansville, 1-0, but won each of the last three seasons. The women's team was unable to take part in Socctoberfest in 2013 due to a scheduling conflict.
2012: Â Â Â Oct. 20 - L, 0-1 vs. Evansville
2014:Â Â Â Sept. 4 - W, 6-0 vs. New Mexico State
2015:Â Â Â Sept. 4 - W, 4-1 vs. Nebraska-Omaha
2016:Â Â Â Sept. 9 - W, 2-1 vs. South Dakota
Bluejays Remain Flawless in First Half
Through the first five matches the Creighton defense has not allowed a goal in the first half. Starting stingy, however, is nothing new for the Bluejays under Paule. Last season Creighton did not surrender a first half goal until the seventh match of the season, allowing two to Yale in a 4-2 victory on Sept. 18.
Could Socctoberfest Lead to Another Monster Crowd
Last season during Socctoberfest the women's squad took down South Dakota in front of the third largest crowd in school history. A total of 1,444 saw the Bluejays best the Coyotes, 2-1, on Sept. 9. The largest crowd in school history was against Nebraska-Omaha on Sept. 20, 2013 a 3-2 Creighton win.
