Creighton opened their 2012 season on Friday night on what appeared to be a beautiful evening. With some holes to fill coming into the season and a lot of experimentation in the exhibition games, there was some great anticipation coming into the contest.
After a scoreless half where the Bluejays had many opportunities with shots on goal, the Huskies were the first to score. The Bluejays responded with three unanswered goals over the final 21 minutes to get the 3-1 victory.
During that final stretch, the clouds opened up and by the end of the game sheets of rain were coming down. However, most the over 2900 fans and the rowdy student section stayed throughout the contest to the end. WBR photographer Mike Spomer was there as well. Here are photos from the victory.
