The Bulldogs traveled to Omaha for a tightly contested showdown with the Bluejays, a match that marked their second tie of the season. From the opening whistle, both sides pressed for dominance, but the deadlock was finally broken when Evan Carlson slipped a well‑timed finish into the net in the 39th minute, the result of a quick one‑two pass from Barrett Kitts and Malachi Anya.
A Late Equaliser and Defensive Standoff
Creighton answered back in the second half when Carter Tavares redirected an Angel Lopez corner kick past the keeper, forcing a scramble that saw Tomas Butkovic make two crucial saves while Matthew Hudson stood firm for the opposition. The final 45 minutes were littered with eight attempts, but only the two goals found the back of the net, leaving the crowd yearning for a winner that never arrived.
Coach Pat Flinn praised the Bulldog squad for their road performance, noting the team’s growth and the contributions of freshmen who logged over 60 minutes each. He highlighted Barrett Kitts, Tomas Butkovic and Jack Dancer as pivotal figures, while also acknowledging the work of Sam DeLong and Jonathan Mendez, who each tested the Creighton defense with timely shots.
Looking ahead, Drake will host Green Bay on Wednesday evening at 5 p.m. inside Mediacom Stadium, where four straight games are slated to unfold. The upcoming fixture offers the Bulldogs a chance to translate their road resilience into a home victory, as they aim to break the deadlock that has defined their early season.
