Omaha, Neb. -- After reaching the sixth College Cup in program history last season, the Creighton men's soccer team earned a No. 8 ranking in the United Soccer Coaches Association Preseason Poll, released on Tuesday, August 1.
The Bluejays appeared in the poll twice during the 2022 season, closing the year at No. 9 (December 13) and checking in at No. 7 on August 30.
Despite losing the 2022 MAC Hermann Award winner Duncan McGuire as well as Owen O'Malley to the MLS Draft following the 2022 season, the Bluejays are poised for another strong showing in 2023. Returning to lead the offensive attack is assist leader Giorgio Probo (14 assists and five goals), Jackson Castro (10 goals and 8 assists) as well as Dominic Briggs (four goals) and Alfie Pope (four goals). Along the back line the Bluejays will be anchored by senior Luke Mitchell and junior Mark O'Neill.
Creighton opens the 2023 regular season at No. 7 Stanford on Aug. 24 at 5:00 pm (CT). Two additional Bluejay opponents start the year in the preseason rankings as BIG EAST foe Akron is No. 22, while Tulsa is No. 16. Just outside the rankings are Denver (RV) and Providence (RV)
