Creighton Men's Soccer alum Ethan Finlay caught up with head coach Johnny Torres in Episode 6 of "The Offseason".
Ethan Finlay was a two-time All-American at Creighton during his standout career from 2008-11, and a MAC Hermann Trophy Finalist in his senior campaign. The three-time All-Missouri Valley Conference selection became Creighton's first two-time MVC Player of the Year and one of six men in program history to earn First-Team All-Midwest Region honors three times. Finlay led the MVC in game-winning goals all four years of his career, as 20 of his 43 career scores were game-winners. He started all 79 matches played in his career and ranked fifth in CU history with 43 goals and sixth with 103 points. He helped lead CU to the College Cup semifinals in 2011 with a 21-2-1 record, and was also recognized a CoSIDA Academic All-American. He was also named the inaugural Male Athlete of the Year in 2010-11. Finlay is in his ninth season in the MLS, and now plays for the Minnesota United. He owns 42 goals and 39 assists in 203 career games..
Two-time National Player of the Year and Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame selection Johnny Torres was named head coach of the Creighton Men's soccer program on November 12, 2018 after a dozen seasons as an assistant coach with the Bluejays. Arguably the greatest soccer player in Creighton and Missouri Valley Conference history, Torres played for the Bluejays from 1994-97.    Torres was named to the MVC All-Centennial Team in 2006 and in 2011 he became the first men's soccer player inducted into the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame.
