CHICAGO - DePaul women's soccer hosts the Creighton Bluejays at Wish Field on Thursday for the program's annual Pink Game in honor of those who have battled or are battling breast cancer. After back-to-back losses against some of the top squads in the conference, the Blue Demons look to get back on track in their return to Wish Field. Thursday's match with Creighton will kick off at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on the BIG EAST Digital Network on FloSports presented by SoFi.
