"First and foremost I would like to thank Creighton for their hospitality," Head Coach Sam Lopes said. "Creighton athletics is a first class organization and treated us very well. The win was very important because we have played very well, but the ball had not bounced our way. We gave up a bad goal early, but gpt great response from the group. It was a total team effort, we came to Omaha with a goal in mind and we completed that goal, so I'm very proud of the team."

The Friars will return to action with a BIG EAST home game versus DePaul at 7:00 p.m. on Oct. 22 at the Ray Treacy Track and Field.
