Palo Alto, Calif. -- Creighton Men's Soccer battled sternly, but fell to No. 7 Stanford in the season opening match on Thursday, Aug. 27. The eighth-ranked Bluejays fell to 0-1 with the loss, while the Cardinal climbed to 1-0.
Stanford struck first with a pair of goals in the opening half. The Cardinal got on the board in the 19th minute as Shane Flores got free at the top of the box, fielding a pass from Palmer Bank. Flores shook on Creighton defender with a sidestep, then blasted in the goal from 12-yards out.

Creighton got on the board late in the first half as Alfie Pope headed in an entry pass from Miguel Arilla in the 42nd minute (41:16) to make it 2-1.
The score remained 2-1 into halftime, but Stanford pushed across a third tally in the 66th minute as Duncan Jarvie found daylight with Noah Adnan earning the assist.
