Creighton makes its return to the College Cup after a nine-year absence. The final four of collegiate soccer gives the Bluejays a chance to win the school’s first NCAA Championship in any sport.
First up for the Jays is Charlotte. The 49ers upset UCONN to advance to the College Cup. On the other side of the bracket stand UCLA and North Carolina — Creighton coach Elmar Bolowich’s old school and the place he won his national championship.
White & Blue Review is making the trip to the College Cup, too. We will have a running diary describing the trip, pre- and post-match articles, and of course our regular Futbol Friday feature.
But we know that not everyone can make it to Hoover, Alabama, to watch the Jays try to bring home the hardware. Courtesy our Media Menu, here are the options to watch Creighton Soccer this weekend.
