OMAHA, Neb. – Fresh off claiming a share of the 2026 BIG EAST Midwest Division Regular Season Title, Creighton freshman Carter Tavares and junior Matthew Hudson earned individual recognition from the BIG EAST Conference on Monday, Nov. 9.
Tavares claimed his third BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honor of 2026, while Hudson collected BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Week accolades for the first time this season.
Making his first start after returning from an injury, Tavares led the Bluejays to a 2-1 win over DePaul last Friday, netting his fifth goal of the season. The standout freshman went to the upper-90, striking a laser into the back of the net off a failed DePaul clear in the fifth minute of play to give the Jays a 1-0 lead.
Tavaras is one of five Bluejays to have tallied at least 15 points this season, having recorded five goals and five assists in just 439 minutes of action.
Hudson, meanwhile, picked up his seventh win of the season, recording four saves while facing 17 DePaul shots in the victory.
In addition, senior Matthew Reed earned a spot on the BIG EAST Honor Roll after recording his team-leading 13th goal of the season as he delivered the game-winning against DePaul off an assist from freshman Jordan Igwenma in the 76th minute of play.
Tavares, Hudson, Reed and the rest of the Creighton men's soccer team will return to the pitch on Thursday, Nov. 12 as they open play in the BIG EAST Tournament Presented by JEEP against No. 5 ranked Akron at the Marland Soccerplex in Boyds, Md. at 4:00 p.m. CT.
