The match itself has immense implications for both the Bluejays and the Blue Demons. Creighton will take another step closer to reaching the BIG EAST Tournament with a win, while DePaul can keep its hopes alive with a win.

Setting the stage
Thursday's victory over Marquette put Creighton in the lead of the Midwest race for second place.
Butler (5-1) is almost a lock for the Midwest top spot, but Creighton (3-3), Marquette (3-4), Xavier (2-3) and DePaul (2-4) are all within a whisker of one another.
If the Bluejays can manage another victory on Sunday, it does not clinch a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament. However, it would give the Bluejays an excellent chance heading into the season finale at Butler on April 8.
The Bluejays are riding a three-match winning streak, their first in BIG EAST play. The last time Creighton posted a three-match winning streak was back in 2010 as a member of the Missouri
Valley Conference (MVC).

Scouting DePaul (3-4-0, 2-4-0 BIG EAST)
DePaul comes to Morrison Stadium having dropped matches at Marquette (1-0 on March 25) and vs. Xavier (3-2 in overtime on March 28). Earlier in the season the Blue Demons posted the lone win over Butler (1-0 on March 21) and bested Creighton 2-1 in double overtime on March 14.
The point being DePaul has some impressive victories as well as heartbreaking losses in the last month.
DePaul has been a particularly prickly thorn since joining the BIG EAST. Creighton earned its first win against the Blue Demons on their last trip to Omaha on Sept. 28, 2019 with a 2-0 win.
In seven matches this season, DePaul has scored eight goals, getting three from Morgan Turner. Defensively the Blue Demons have allowed 11 goals, 10 coming while Mollie Eriksson has been in net.
