The BIG EAST Conference moves forward in 2017-18, the fifth year of its current consortium of 10 outstanding and revered academic institutions. Founded by Dave Gavitt in 1979, the BIG EAST reorganized in 2013 and entered a new era by returning to its basketball-centric heritage. The league’s 10 member schools—Butler, Creighton, DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Villanova, and Xavier—embrace a constant commitment to academic integrity, athletic excellence and community service. The 2017-18 academic year will be the 39th in the history of the BIG EAST, a league synonymous with men’s basketball that has evolved into a well-rounded league that competes nationally at the highest level in sports across the board. BIG EAST basketball squads have captured 14 titles in the last 18 years, including a Villanova title in men’s basketball in 2015-16. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 39 national championships in eight different sports and 145 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2016-17. Since 2013, the BIG EAST has produced nine national champions. All 10 schools reside within a top-75 media market, including eight schools in a top-35 market. The BIG EAST has also increased the

visibility of its member school programs with the expansion of the BIG EAST Digital Network (BEDN). When the conference launched BEDN in 2014-15, the league became the first collegiate conference to be hosted on the FOX Sports mobile platform, FOX Sports Go, the app that provides live streaming of FOX Sports content. BEDN will carry 225 live events in 2017-18, with an emphasis on women’s basketball, soccer and Olympic sport regular season and championship events. The conference, which crowns champions in 22 sports, had league teams earn a total of 33 NCAA berths and 78 individual NCAA invitations in 2016-17. Seven different na-tional postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including seven teams in men’s basketball and three in women’s basketball. BIG EAST schools produced nine CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.

The Creighton soccer program entered a new era in 2003 with the opening of an on-campus soccer facility, the Michael G. Morrison,

S.J., Stadium. The Bluejays moved to the facility after playing home matches at Tranquility Park in west Omaha from 1990-2002. The Field Turf Revolution all-weather surface is the first of its kind in the United States and makes the playing surface at the facility one of the finest in the country. With the downtown Omaha skyline to the south, CenturyLink Center Omaha to the east, Ryan Athletic Center to the north and The Championship Center to the west, Morrison Stadium places student-athletes in the middle of it all. Morrison Stadium’s seating capacity is 7,500. Construction on the stadium was completed in 2004 and included a video scoreboard, champions room, nearly 2,000 covered chairback seating, five luxury suites, an enclosed press box, concession stands and a banquet area. An athletic training room and locker rooms were built in the adjacent Ryan Athletic Center, which opened in 2009. A new project to construct coaching, staff and resource offices to the north side of the upper west concourse was announced in July of 2017. The plans also include the addition of suites to enhance fan experience and improve event space, a winterization to provide maximize usage opportunities for student-athletes, staff and the community and a renovation of the existing club area to include an in-venue multi-purpose space for student-athletes. Creighton soccer has enjoyed incredible success at home since its reinstatement in 1990. The Bluejays’ home record is 225-38-22 for an impressive winning percentage of .828 since 1990. The Bluejays, who annually rank among NCAA leaders in attendance, are 123-22-17 overall and 44-8-3 in conference play all-time at Morrison Stadium. CU is an impressive 79-11-4 at home all-time in regular-season conference play. The $13 million facility hosted its first match on Aug. 29, 2003, and was officially dedicated on October 15, 2004. The stadium also played host to a friendly between the U.S. Women’s National Team and Sweden in July 2010 that welcomed a crowd of nearly 6,500 fans and was televised live on ESPN.

The Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center, a 50,000-square-foot building offering a multipurpose field house with synthetic turf for athletic team prac-tices and intramural sports, was officially opened on Oct. 23, 2012. The men’s soccer team utilizes the Rasmussen Center during the season for training during inclement weather situations. In addition to the indoor practice area, the Rasmussen Center offers a suspended two-lane running track and a fitness level furnished with cardio, circuit-training and free-weight equipment for all Creighton students, faculty and staff. Named for Creighton Director of Athletics Bruce Rasmussen, the facility was made possible by generous gifts from Ruth and Bill Scott, as well as several other donors. The Scotts have been long-time supporters and friends of Creighton. In 1995, the Scotts established a scholarship for international students who enrolled in the School of Medicine. The Nebraska natives have deep roots in the Omaha community and have donated millions of dollars to more than 100 different organizations. Rasmussen has been with Creighton for 38 years, the last 24 years as athletic director. During his tenure, Creighton’s athletic teams have risen to national prominence both on and off the field. Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletic director, Creighton has won 36 regular-season and 39 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 80 postseason appearances. The Bluejays have made the NCAA Tourney in men’s soccer in 24 of the past 25 years. Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success that its student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletic director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s golf, women’s soccer and men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes consistently own collective GPAs of 3.25 or above. Rasmussen was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen played a vital role in seeing that Creighton and the city of Omaha remain as hosts of the College World Series.

2017 Roster

Page 10: Table of Contents - Amazon S3...2017/08/17  · Kuba Polat & Carlos Soto Merchan 30 Warsay Tekeste & Dominic Valdivia 31 Austin Wormell 32 2016 Season Review 2016 Statistics 33 2016

The Bluejays qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the 24th time in the past 25 years with an at-large bid for the fourth consecutive season, and advanced to the Sweet 16 before falling 2-1 to conference foe Providence to end the 2016 campaign at 13-7-3. The 2017 Creighton men’s soccer team enters the new season seeking its first BIG EAST tournament title since joining the conference prior to the 2014 season. Senior forward Ricky Lopez-Espin will lead the offense after tallying a team-high 22 points with a Bluejay-best 10 goals and two assists last year. Lopez-Espin, a 2016 NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region Second Team selection, owns 18 career goals, the most of any active Bluejay. Noah Franke, Mitch LaGro, Peter Prescott, Joel Rydstrand and Lucas Stauffer each return after starting all 23 matches last season. LaGro and Prescott will anchor the middle of the Creighton defense after taking the reigns of a unit that allowed 0.84 goals per game a year ago (second in BIG EAST). Franke and Stauffer both split time in the midfield and backline. Stauffer, a 2016 All-BIG EAST First Team selection, owns 57 career starts — 49 consecutive — and has appeared in all 68 possible matches the past three seasons. Franke has played in

67 matches (40 starts) during his Creighton career. Rydstrand led the 2016 squad with seven assists and added three goals. The biggest question mark heading into the 2017 season may be the Bluejays’ goalkeeper position. With the departure of NSCAA Third Team All-American and fourth round MLS SuperDraft selection Alex Kapp, who ranked third nationally with 2,144 minutes played in goal last season, Creighton’s current goalkeeper pool has limited collegiate experience. Fifth-year senior Michael Kluver appears to be the front-runner for the starting nod, but the Omaha Skutt Catholic product has only seen 21 minutes of action during two career matches played. Redshirt sopho-more Collin Valdivia and true freshman Austin Wormell will also fight for playing time. The Bluejays welcome 10 newcomers for this season to complement the 15 returners, including transfers Anthony Macchione (Akron) and Sven Koenig (Hawaii Pacific), a 2016 Division II Conference Commissioners Association Third Team All-American.

As a standard of the CU men’s soccer program, the Bluejays’ schedule is one of the toughest in the country. Seven of Creighton’s regular-season opponents appeared in the 2016 NCAAs. The Bluejays host NCAA quarterfinalist Virigina Tech to open the season and begin the road slate in California with a contest against two-time defending national champion Stanford. Creighton will also host defending American Athletic Conference (AAC) regular-season champion South Florida for the Bluejays’ annual Socctoberfest, and defending AAC tournament champion Tulsa in a rematch of a 2016 NCAA First Round match. The Bluejays play five road BIG EAST contests, including matches against 2016 regular-season champion and NCAA quarterfinalist Providence and conference tournament champion Butler. Creighton hosts Villanova (NCAA First Round participant), St. John’s, Xavier and DePaul during league action. Seventh-year head coach Elmar Bolowich needs two victories to move into second place for number of wins as a Creighton soccer coach. Bolowich currently has 95 career wins, and trails only 2017 Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Bret Simon (96) and MVC All-Centennial coach and 2010 CU Hall of Fame inductee Bob Warming (190).

2017 Outlook

Ricky Lopez-Espin returns as Creighton’s leading goal-scorer from last season, netting 10 goals, including two game-winners.

Noah Franke (left) and Joel Rydstrand (right) combined for 13 assists and four goals while each starting all 23 matches primarily in the Bluejays’ midfield.

Mitch LaGro started all 23 matches for the Bluejays during 2016 as a sophomore after playing in only 11 as a redshirt freshman.

Elmar Bolowich enters his seventh season at the helm of the Creighton men’s soccer program after leading the Bluejays to their 24th NCAA Tournament appearance in the past 25 seasons. After six seasons at Creighton, Bolowich boasts a 95-29-12 overall record. He also claims two NCAA College Cup appearances and has already climbed into third overall for most wins as the leader of the Bluejays, needing two wins to take over second-place, currently held by 2017 Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Bret Simon. Bolowich has guided seven of his last nine squads to the NCAA quarterfinals or beyond, dating back to his time at the University of North Carolina. Amazingly six of those squads suffered just four or fewer losses during the year. Creighton ended the 2016 season in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Championship, as the squad won two NCAA tournament matches for the third consecutive season. Led by BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year Ricardo Perez and NSCAA Third-Team All-American and BIG EAST Co-Goalkeeper of the Year Alex Kapp, the Bluejays finished 13-7-3. After starting the season 7-1-2, the Jays fell during four of their next five games before reeling off three straight victories to earn their second trip to the BIG EAST Championship title match. Creighton dropped a 2-1 decision to Butler and finished runner-up in the conference, but received its fourth consecutive at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. During the 2015 campaign, Bolowich guided Creighton to the most wins in Division I (19) and the third-best scoring offense in the nation (2.30 goals per game). The Bluejays started the season 15-0-0, their best start since going 19-0-0 in 1993. Creighton held the No. 1 spot in the NSCAA poll for a program-best eight consecutive weeks (Sept. 8-Oct. 27). Fabian Herbers highlighted the 2015 squad and earned runner-up in the MAC Hermann Trophy voting after leading the nation in assists with a single-season school record 17, ranked No. 1 in the country in points (47) and tied for third in goals (15). Herbers, along with teammate Timo Pitter, made the NSCAA All-America First Team. Vincent Keller also earned NSCAA Third Team All-America status. Additionally, Herbers was honored for the second consecutive season as the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, Pitter repeated as the BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year and Connor Sparrow was named the BIG EAST Co-Goalkeeper of the Year. Bolowich led the Bluejays to the best winning percentage in the nation at 16-3-3 (.795) in 2014. Along the way, the Jays won their first BIG EAST regular season title with a 7-1-1 mark in just their second year in the conference. Creighton’s campaign ended with the team’s third NCAA quarterfinal appearance in four seasons. At the end of the season Herbers was named a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist. Herbers also claimed NSCAA All-America First Team recognition while Jose Ribas and Pitter earned spots on the NSCAA All-America Second Team. Bolowich earned distinction as the All-Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year andr Sparrow earned recognition as a member of the All-Great Lakes Region Third Team.

Creighton won multiple All-BIG EAST major awards in 2014, including Bolowich, who shared Coaching Staff of the Year honors. Herbers earned a unanimous selection as the BIG EAST Offensive Player honors of the Year and Pitter claimed BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year laurels. Herbers, Pitter and Ribas were unanimous All-BIG EAST First Team selections, while freshman Lucas Stauffer was a unanimous selection on the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team. In 2013, Bolowich guided the Bluejays through their inaugural season in the BIG EAST Conference and a tough non-conference slate. Creighton finished the season with a 9-9-2 overall record and a 4-4-1 mark in conference play. All nine of CU’s losses were decided by a single goal. The Bluejays finished 7-2-1 at home in 2013. Creighton compiled four wins against Top 50 RPI teams and did not play a match against a team with an RPI below 127 throughout the entire season.

Seven Bluejays claimed spots on 2013 All-BIG EAST Teams, while Eric Miller and Zach Barnes claimed NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region honors and later were selected in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft. The Jays’ back-to-back College Cup runs in 2011 and 2012 capped five consecutive College Cup appearances for Bolowich as a head coach. In 2012, he guided the Bluejays to a 17-4-3 record and their second consecutive appearance in a College Cup. Creighton entered the 2012 College Cup on a 14-match unbeaten streak before falling 1-0 to eventual national champion Indiana in a national semifinal. Creighton also repeated as Missouri Valley Conference regular-season and tournament champions. Along the way, the Bluejays tied the MVC team record for the fewest goals allowed (one) in a Valley season set by the Bluejays the previous season in 2011. MAC Hermann Trophy finalist Jose Gomez and Andrew Ribeiro were NSCAA All-America selections and Creighton placed six student-athletes on All-MVC teams. In 2011, Bolowich put together one of the most successful single-seasons in program history, earning a trip to the NCAA College Cup and posting a 21-2-1 record. Bolowich picked up three coaching honors following his work in 2011, earning the NSCAA Midwest Region Coach of the Year, the Missouri Valley Conference Coaching Staff of the Year and the MLSSoccer.com Coach of the Year after leading Creighton to its first College Cup in nine years. The Bluejays had four players earn NSCAA All-America honors at the end of 2011, with Andrew Duran, Ethan Finlay and Brian Holt named to the First Team and Greg Jordan earning a Second Team nod. Ten of 11 Bluejay starters earned MVC honors, as Creighton shared the regular-season title with a 5-1-0 mark, avenging the lone conference regular-season loss to Missouri State in the finals of the MVC Tournament. Creighton’s 21 wins in 2011 marked the second most in a single season, just one win behind the 2000 squad’s 22 wins, while making Bolowich the winningest Creighton coach in his first year on the bench. Creighton Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen announced the hiring of Bolowich on Feb. 9, 2011.

Bolowich joined the Bluejays following an amazing 22-year run at North Carolina, during which he helped the Tar Heels to their first national title in program history in 2001. He guided UNC to 15 NCAA Tournament appearances and four College Cups, including three consecutive trips to college soccer’s Final Four in his final three seasons in Chapel Hill. Six of his UNC teams advanced to at least the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament and three teams captured at least a share of the ACC regular-season title in addition to winning the 2000 ACC Tournament championship. Bolowich is the winningest coach in UNC men’s soccer history, posting a 280-144-40 (.647) record during his 22 seasons in Chapel Hill. His 2001 NCAA title team finished 21-4-0; defeating Indiana in the title match. The first national title in program history was good enough to earn him National Coach of the Year honors from the NSCAA. Bolowich, a two-time ACC Coach of the Year (2000, 2010), led his teams to ACC regular-season titles in 2000, 2009 and 2010, putting together an unbeaten mark (7-0-1) in the nation’s strongest soccer conference in 2010. Over his final three years at UNC, the Tar Heels played in the College Cup each season, and posted a 47-14-9 (.736) record. His 2008 team finished as the national runner-up, while the 2009 and 2010 teams fell in the national semifinals. His teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals six times in his final 11 years at North Carolina. Combined with two at Creighton, Bolowich is one of only two active coaches in NCAA Division I soccer to lead his program to six College Cup appearances (Maryland’s Sasho Cirovski has eight). In both 2000 and 2001, he was named the NSCAA South Region Coach of the Year, and in 1999, he was given the National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association National Merit award, which is given annually to one college coach whose reputation is recognized by soccer officials as praiseworthy and reflective of the highest standards of professional and ethical behavior. His remarkable run at North Carolina included 20 NCAA Tournament wins, 16 more than the program had in the 42 years of soccer before his arrival. He also coached 14 individuals who earned a combined 21 NSCAA All-America honors, including a trio of All-Americans in 2010. His players garnered 28 ACC First Team honors and he coached five ACC Rookies of the Year.

Bolowich not only produces winning collegiate teams, but he has a proven track record of developing young men into international and professional players. Twenty-one players who were coached by Bolowich at UNC played professionally in 2010, including 11 in Major League Soccer and three abroad. In total, Bolowich has coached 46 players who have been selected in MLS drafts since 1996, including a school-record tying four from Creighton in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft. In 28 seasons on the sideline, he has led his teams to a top-three finish in at least one national poll six times since 2000 and a top-10 finish

11 times in the last 16 seasons, including a No. 3 ranking in the final 2010 NSCAA poll while at North Carolina, and a pair of No. 4 final rankings in both 2011 and 2012 while at Creighton. Bolowich arrived at North Carolina as a part-time assistant coach in 1986, before becoming a full-time assistant one year later. He was named head coach at UNC in March of 1989, as just the fourth head coach in the history of Tar Heel men’s soccer. A native of Edenkoben, Germany, Bolowich played and coached at the semi-professional level in his native country at Wiesbaden, Mainz and Cuxhaven. He played collegiately and graduated from the University of Mainz (Germany) in 1981 with a diploma in sports education. Prior to his stint at Mainz, he served two years in the German Luftwaffe (Air Force). In addition to holding a USSF A-License, Bolowich received his coaching license from the German Football Federation in 1981. Bolowich was active in youth soccer in North Carolina, serving as a regional staff coach with the U.S. Soccer Federation’s Olympic Development Program for Region III and as Director of Coaching for the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association. He coached the Durham-Chapel Hill Strikers U-19 club team to the 1990 Maguire Cup Final Four and, starting in 2007, he coached the Triangle United Soccer Association’s boys Gold team, leading them to three state and regional championships. Bolowich and his wife of more than 30 years, Nina, have a daughter, Alya, and a son, Alex. Alex was a goalkeeper for the Bluejays from 2011-14.

Two-time National Player of the Year and Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame selection Johnny Torres enters his 11th season on the Bluejay coaching staff, following a decade-long professional soccer career. Arguably the greatest soccer player in Creighton and Missouri Valley Conference history, Torres played for the Bluejays from 1994-97. Torres claimed the National Assistant Coach of the Year honor from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America in January 2015. He was also named the NSCAA Great Lakes Region Assistant Coach of the Year recognition after the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Torres helped lead the Bluejays to the most wins in Divison I (19) during the 2015 season as Creighton had four players selected in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft. The Bluejays started the season 15-0-0, the program’s best start since 1993, and finished the year with the third-best offense in Division I. A member of the 2014 BIG EAST Co-Coaching Staff of the Year, Torres helped lead the Bluejays to the nation’s best winning percentage at 16-3-3 (.795). Creighton won its first BIG EAST regular season title with a 7-1-1 mark in just the second year in the conference and advanced to its third NCAA quarterfinal appearance in four seasons. Three CU players earned spots on NSCAA All-America squads and four earned unanimous All-BIG EAST selections and two major awards. In 2013, he aided the Jays through their inaugural season in the BIG EAST Conference and a tough non-conference slate. Creighton finished the season with a 9-9-2 overall record and a 4-4-1 mark in league play. Seven Bluejays claimed spots on 2013 All-BIG EAST Teams. Eric Miller and Zach Barnes claimed NSCAA All-Great Lakes Region honors and later were drafted in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft. He helped direct the Bluejays to a 17-4-3 record and their second consecutive appearance in a College Cup In 2012. Creighton won the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season and tournament titles for

a second straight season. Along the way, the Bluejays tied the MVC record for the fewest goals allowed (1) in a Valley season set by CU in 2011. CU entered the 2012 College Cup on a 14-match unbeaten streak before falling 1-0 to eventual national champion Indiana in a semifinal. Three times in Torres’ first five seasons on the Bluejay bench, the Creighton men’s soccer staff was honored as the MVC Coaching Staff of the Year, earning the nod in 2008, 2010 and 2011. His roles on the coaching staff include scouting, recruiting and training. He also plays a major role in working with student-athletes on ser-vice projects in the Omaha area.

Torres himself has always been active in service throughout his collegiate and professional playing days. He visited thousands of youth in the Omaha community in the 1990s. Torres was tabbed the Children’s Miracle Network National “Hometown Hero” in 1996.

Torres was named to the MVC All-Centennial Team in 2006 and in 2011 he became the first men’s soccer player inducted into the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame. In 1997 he won both the Hermann Trophy and the Missouri Athletic Club Award (prior to the combination of the awards), recognizing him as the National Player of the Year. In 1996, he earned National Player of the Year honors from Soccer America after leading the Bluejays to their first College Cup appearance. When his career ended, he was the Valley’s all-time scoring (128 points) and assists (36) leader. He was the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 1998 MLS Draft by the New England Revolution, and played for the Revolution for four seasons. He also played for the Miami Fusion and Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer, before continuing his career in the USL for the Minnesota Thunder and the Milwaukee Wave United, before moving to indoor soccer with the Milwaukee Wave. In 2010, Torres returned to the professional ranks as a player, leading the Omaha Vipers of the Major Indoor Soccer League in goals scored. In 2009, he played on the United States Adult Soccer Association Over 30 championship team – Nebraska 402 – which qualified and participated in the U.S. Open Cup in 2009. Torres returned to the Creighton campus in the fall of 2007 to complete his undergraduate degree while serving as the Bluejays’ undergraduate manager. After receiving the NCAA Degree Completion Award, he earned his degree in social work from Creighton in the spring of 2008. The 2004 Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, two-time First Team All-American selection has two sons, Dominic and Javi, and a daughter, Perla. Torres married Sara Heck in 2013.

The Jays won their second straight MVC regular and postseason titles while becoming the first NCAA team to go unbeaten and untied during the regular season since Howard University accomplished the feat in 1974. Creighton’s 19 victories to begin the season established what is still a school mark for consecu-tive wins. The Jays were ranked No. 1 in the country in the adidas/ISAA national poll for the final five weeks of the season, becoming the first Creighton team to earn that recognition since the men’s basketball team was ranked No. 1 nation-ally during the 1942-43 season. For the second year in a row, the Jays received one of the top four overall seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Seniors Brian Kamler and Keith DeFini were named First Team All-Americans by the NSCAA and were finalists for both the Hermann Award and the Missouri Athletic Club “National Player of the Year” award.

Think of Omaha as center court: a dynamic and unique destination in the center of the country, full of action. Omaha has this special spirit that fills the city like an arena full of fans whose team just won with a buzzer beater. Excitement abounds for what it has built, what it has accomplished and what’s still ahead. It’s a spirit born on the banks of the Missouri River, a city founded in 1854 by land speculators convinced they were at the heart of something new. Soon after, the transcontinental railroad was built and Omaha emerged as a hotbed of activity and new technologies. There is a great story about Omaha’s growth in the early days that really speaks to the pioneering spirit of the city. As Omaha prepared to lay underground cables for telephones, workers were trying to figure out the easiest way to string the lines. Being an inventive bunch, Omahans solved the problem by getting ferrets to help carry the lines through the tunnels. Sounds extraordinary, but it worked. Today, Omaha is at the center of the telecommunications industry. Call for a hotel reservation from anywhere in the U.S. and you are probably calling Omaha. The city is home to the Hyatt, Marriott, Radisson, and Omni reservation centers. That infrastructure is also key to the nation’s defense. Offutt Air Force Base, home to STRATCOM, is based here. STRATCOM is the nation’s eyes, ears and muscle when it comes to protecting the country. That spirit is also seen in Omaha’s modern day pioneers. Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest men in the world,

is a plainspoken Omaha-born and bred financial pioneer. When Warren speaks, people listen, learn and make money. In fact, as you look at the four Fortune 500 companies that call Omaha home, they are all innovators: Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, Mutual of Omaha and Peter Kiewit Sons’. It’s not just the business community that embodies that spirit; you can also listen to it, touch it, taste it and feel it when you visit Omaha. Home to the world’s largest indoor rainforest, next to the world’s largest indoor desert under the world’s largest geodesic dome, Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo is a can’t miss when you’re in town. Experience what it’s like to go underground and see rare creatures that only come out at night, or surround yourself with sharks as you walk through an 850,000-gallon

underwater tunnel. Talk about innovative: The zoo has spent $6 million on a research facility allowing it to respond to national and international conservation needs. Omaha’s three Smithsonian-affiliated museums feature diverse offerings. Gaze at a 15,000-pound glass sculpture suspended in the air at the Joslyn Art Museum, hop on board Harry S. Truman’s press train at the Durham Museum, or “pilot” a fighter jet at the Strategic Air and Space Museum, home to some of the most prized and rarely displayed military aircraft. Discover how nature can seem brand new as you walk through over 100 acres of lush and rare flora at Lauritzen Gardens, Omaha’s botanical center. Omaha is a mecca to music pioneers, as the city is known by many as the nation’s premier hot spot for the indie rock scene. It’s home to famed Saddle Creek Records and nationally renowned bands such as Bright Eyes, The Faint and Cursive. Omaha is a city that never forgets its past. The Old Market is the true merging of old and new. The historic warehouse dis-trict was preserved and transformed into an art, shopping and dining district. Unique shops and restaurants lining cobblestone streets, it’s a place to remember where you’ve been and where you’re going. The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge S-curves its way across the Missouri River. This one-of-a-kind structure is the longest pedestrian bridge to link two states. It’s just one more example of how Omaha stays fresh and innovative, all thanks to that indelible pioneering spirit.

A view of the Omaha skyline at night. More than 900,000 people live in metro Omaha, and about 1.2 million people live within a 50-mile radius.

Creighton’s baseball team shares the same home as the College World Series, TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

LocationCreighton is located in Omaha, Neb., which has a metropolitan area population of more than 900,000.

Creighton HistoryFounded in 1878, Creighton University is a private university, one of 28 Catholic, Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States.

Creighton TodayCreighton is nationally recognized as a leading university in the Midwest, known for student-centered education and significant undergraduate student research opportuni-ties. As a Jesuit university, Creighton is committed to academic excellence and service to others and seeks to create an inclusive, diverse community. In addition to the College of Arts and Sciences, the University’s oldest and largest college, Creighton includes the Heider College of Business, the College of Nursing, the College of Professional Studies, the Graduate School, and the Schools of Dentistry, Law, Medicine, and Pharmacy and Health Professions. The freshman academic profile places Creighton among the Top 10 private Midwestern universities with more than 4,000 undergraduates and among the Top 10 Catholic universities in the nation. For the 14th year in a row, Creighton is the No. 1 Midwest regional university in the annu-al U.S. News & World Report magazine’s col-lege rankings. U.S. News also again ranked the University No. 1 in the Midwest region for veterans. Creighton was also named among only 36 schools nationally as a top school for undergraduate research opportunities for the third consecutive year, and among only 22 schools nationwide for internship opportunities available for students..

The Princeton Review listed Creighton as one of the nation’s top 382 colleges and uni-versities in its latest college guide.

Campus LifeCreighton offers more than 200 student clubs and organizations, including academic, athletic, cultural, Greek, political, professional, service, social and spiritual groups, as well as opportunities to work on campus publications. Nine sophisticated on-campus living environments include two junior/senior townhome residence halls with technologi-cally rich furnished apartments and complete kitchens. Last year, Creighton students took part in more than 1 million hours of community service at local, national and international community organizations. Creighton welcomes students of all religious beliefs and the University encourages students to participate in retreats, faith-sharing opportunities and multi-faith services. Students may enroll in Creighton’s service-learning semester in the Dominican Republic, faculty-led courses taught abroad, or study at more than 100 institutions located in dozens of countries through exchange or affiliate programs. Creighton also offers online education and has campuses outside of the Omaha area, including our School of Medicine Regional Campus at Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix; an occupational therapy partnership with the University of Alaska in Anchorage; and a campus for nursing students in Hastings, Neb.

The Creighton CampusCreighton is committed to being a model living-learning campus environment. The 139-acre campus is located within walking distance of downtown Omaha and many recreational, cultural and entertainment opportunities. The campus design and master plan have received top awards in landscape and architecture. Since 2000, Creighton has invest-ed more than $300 million in on-campus improvements and planned expansion to create a more vibrant and robust campus:

• Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium, the region’s only athletic facility designed exclusively for soccer. The stadium hosts high school, club and international soccer events and a variety of Omaha community events.

• The Hixson-Lied Science Building, the renovated Rigge Science Building and Criss Health Sciences Building form the centerpiece of Creighton’s undergraduate and health professions’ leading approach to teaching and research.

• Davis Square and Opus Hall are upperclassman townhome residence halls located on the east side of campus.

• The Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center and D.J. Sokol Arena serves as an on-campus home to Creighton women’s basketball and volleyball.

• The Rasmussen Fitness & Sports Center opened in the fall of 2012.

• The Mike and Josie Harper Center became the home of the Heider College of Business in the fall of 2013.

• The Championship Center opened in 2014.

• A new School of Dentistry building is under construction.

At the center of campus is the heart of the University, the historic and recently restored St. John’s Church, as well as the California Street Mall, the Lied Education Center for the Arts, the V.J. and Angela Skutt Student Center and the Kiewit Fitness Center. The University recently undertook the larg-est renovation project in its history, with more than 100,000 sq. ft. of academic space being remodeled.

Billy Bluejay is the official mascot of the Creighton University Athletics Department. Creighton is a private, Jesuit NCAA Division I school in Omaha, Neb., founded in 1878. Prior to 1924, with no official athletics nickname, University publications and news media often referred to Creighton athletic teams by the school’s colors – the “White and Blue,” or vice versa. Because of Creighton’s location atop a bluff, the team was occasionally designated unofficially as the “Hilltoppers,” but the name lost favor because at least six other teams in the country went by the same nickname. At the behest of Creighton’s Athletics Board and Alumni Association, the Omaha Bee newspaper coordinated a public contest in late 1923 to select a nickname and mascot for Creighton University athletic teams. After reviewing 200 entries, the Athletics Board decided upon “Bluejays” because the color of the bird was in keeping with school colors. The Bluejays were originally depicted by an ornithologically correct rendition of the bird. In 1941,

Creighton alumnus Joseph P. Murphy, a 1931 graduate of the College of Business and, at the time, a Creighton journalism professor and the head of its public relations department, designed a graphical image of the bird with a more human stance and expression. Murphy’s 1941 design remained largely intact for the past 72 years with only minor revisions. While it is unclear on the exact year the first walking costume mascot modeled after Murphy’s 1941 graphical image appeared publicly or the first time the image or mascot were referred to as “Billy Bluejay,” many costumes were created, changed/re-designed and replaced over seven decades as Billy became a fixture at Creighton Athletics events, roaming the sidelines to cheer on his beloved Bluejays. In October, 2013, in conjunction with Creighton’s move to the BIG EAST Conference, the University unveiled a new Athletics brand – athletic logo, sport-specific logos and corresponding secondary marks designed to increase overall awareness of the Creighton University Bluejays - locally, regionally and nationally. The new logo was designed to build on the history, tradition and love of previous Billy Bluejay icons while maintaining the integrity of the past and establishing the new Creighton Bluejay brand as a distinct and recognizable identity in the BIG EAST. Creighton Athletics turned to Street Characters to provide an updated Billy Bluejay walking mascot costume, one that was more vibrant, more athletic and one that more closely resembled the new athletics brand. The new-look Billy Bluejay walking mascot costume was complete in early December and he made his first public appearance in front of over 17,000 fans when the Creighton men’s basketball team hosted Nebraska on Dec. 8, 2013 at CenturyLink Center Omaha.

The 2017-18 chairman of the highly esteemed NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, Bruce Rasmussen enters his 24th year as director of athletics, and 38th overall, at Creighton University. During Rasmussen’s tenure, Creighton has risen to prominence with its success on and off the

field, impressive facilities and record-breaking fundraising efforts. For evidence, look no further than four recent projects that continue to change the area’s athletics scene. The Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center and D.J. Sokol Arena opened in 2009 and immediately gave Creighton’s women’s basketball and volleyball teams a top-notch facility to call home. TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, home to Bluejay baseball and the College World Series, opened in 2011 to rave reviews. Just east of the Ryan Athletic Center is Creighton’s student recreation center that was named the Rasmussen Center in his honor in 2012. The most recent addition to the campus is the Championship Center, which opened in June 2014 and is considered one of the best of its kind. Those projects add to an overhaul in the school’s athletic facilities over the past 15 years, which has also seen Creighton begin play at three of the finest facilities nationwide -- Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium (soccer) and CenturyLink Center Omaha (men’s basketball) and TD Ameritrade Park Omaha (baseball). Rasmussen also helped lead the charge for one of the biggest moves in school history when the school accepted an invitation into the BIG EAST Conference in March of 2013. Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletics director, Creighton has won 36 regular-season and 39 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 80 postseason appearances. The Bluejays remain the only school in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to make 16 straight men’s basketball postseasons, and have made the NCAA Tournament in men’s soccer in 24 of the past 25 years. Creighton was also recognized with the MVC All-Academic Award in seven of its last nine seasons in the league. A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen continues to play a vital role in Creighton and the city of Omaha remaining as host of the College World Series. He was one of six individuals on the CWS Oversight Committee that helped decide the location for the new downtown TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which helped keep the CWS in Omaha for another 25 years. With Creighton serving as host, the CWS has welcomed more than 300,000 fans in each of the last 12 years. Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of the Year Award. In both 2010 and 2015, Rasmussen was honored with an Under Armour AD of the Year award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame. Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s golf, women’s soccer as well as men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes have owned GPAs of 3.30 or above in 22 straight semesters entering the fall of 2017. Creighton’s primary annual athletics fundraising events are the Bluejay Bash and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s leadership, each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2016 Jamboree generated more than $400,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle and auction. Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a 12-year run as the winningest coach in Creighton women’s basketball history (196-147), that culminating in the program’s historic 1991-92 season. The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victory in the program’s first-ever trip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, good for a .571 winning percentage. After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was named athletics director on Aug. 1, 1994. A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five children: Megan, David, John, Katie and Grace.
