Scouting Creighton (3-1-2)
The Bluejays responded to their first loss of the season (3-1 to #3 Denver on Sept. 6) with the most complete performance of the season in a 1-0 win over (RV) Grand Canyon on Sept. 9.
Sophomore Miguel Arilla leads Creighton with seven points on two goals and three assists. Two other Bluejays sit a close second as freshman Gavrilo Civric and senior Jackson Castro have six points. Civric holds a team lead three goals, while Castro has two goals and two assists. A total of 11 players have recorded at least one point this season.
In net the Bluejays have gone with Blake Gillingham throughout the season, playing all 540 minutes.
The junior has made 15 saves, allowing nine goals thus far for a 1.50 GAA. He has two shutouts, including the 1-0 win at (RV) Grand Canyon. Â
Scouting Tulsa (1-3-1)
Tulsa is 0-2-0 on the road this season. In both road contests of the season Tulsa has been held scoreless, falling at UNLV (2-0 on August 22) and at Missouri State (1-0 on September 6). Conversely in its three home matches, Tulsa has six combined goals.
Six different players have one goal for Tulsa, while Camilo Vargas leads the team with three points coming from one goal and one assist.
In goal Tulsa has split time with Alex Lopez playing three matches with a 1.67 GAA, while Carlito Saylon allowed four goals in two contests for a 2.00 GAA.
Just a Corner Kick Away
Through the opening six matches of the 2024 season, Creighton has built a sizable edge in corners created. The Bluejays have a 45-16 edge on corners. Entering play on Tuesday, Creighton leads the nation in corners created and is seventh in corners per game at 7.50.
The extra reps paid dividends as Creighton scored two of its four goals in the 4-2 win over San Francisco on September 1 via corner set pieces.
More National Rankings
Creighton sits sixth in total attendance with a combined 10,036 fans and seventh in average attendance at 2,007 per game. The Bluejays also sit fifth overall with 15.83 fouls per game as well as 95 total fouls.
Offensively Creighton ranks 17th in the NCAA with 12 goals, a total that also is tied with Connecticut atop the BIG EAST.
Shimonishi's First Goal Comes in Unconventional Manner
An unconventional goal proved to be the game winner as junior Ryusei Shimonishi headed in his first goal of the season in the 20th minute (19:20). Shimonishi's volley was blocked by Grand Canyon goalkeeper Leon Schmidt, but he was two feet inside the goal box. The deep position allowed the entire ball to cross the goal line and put the Bluejays ahead. Senior Jackson Castro and sophomore Miguel Arilla earned assists on the sequence by forcing the Lopes defense to pull toward them and create an opening for Shimonishi.
Creighton returns home for the 39th historical meeting with Tulsa. The Bluejays hold a 14-3-1 record at home against the Golden Hurricanes.
