Dear Members of the Creighton Community:

Congratulations to our men’s soccer team and coaches, head coach Elmar Bolowich and assistant coaches Johnny Torres and Justin Hughes, on advancing to the College Cup (Final Four) for the second year in a row! The Jays’ 1-0 win over UConn on Sunday earned them a chance for a national title in the NCAA College Cup.

The No.8-ranked Bluejays will compete against the Indiana Hoosiers Friday, December 7, in the semi-final match in Hoover, Ala., at 6:30 p.m. (CT). The match will be aired on ESPNU.

Show your Bluejay Spirit by wearing your Creighton gear on FriJay!

Then, rally behind the Jays and join the pep band, dance team and Billy Bluejay in cheering at a viewing party in the Harper Center’s Hixson-Lied Auditorium and Billy Blues Alumni Grill Friday at 6:30 p.m. Free snacks and light refreshments in the foyer outside of Billy Blues will complement the perfect final-exams study break!

With a win over Indiana, the Jays would advance to the championship match at 1 p.m. (CT) Sunday, December 9, against either Georgetown or Maryland; Billy Blues/Hixson-Lied Auditorium would again be viewing party sites for the championship match on Sunday.

Go Jays!

Timothy R. Lannon, S.J.
