DePaul takes on Creighton at 1 p.m. Wednesday in Chicago
CHICAGO - DePaul men's soccer continues BIG EAST play this week, hosting the Creighton Bluejays (3-4-1, 0-2 BIG EAST) on Wednesday at Wish Field in Chicago. First touch is set for 1 p.m. and the match will be broadcast on the BIG EAST Digital Network on FloSports presented by SoFi.
DePaul (5-4, 1-1 BIG EAST) is looking to get back into the win column after back-to-back road losses coming at the hands of Northwestern and No. 1 Georgetown. The Blue Demons will look to ignite the offense and return to the form that propelled DePaul to five goals over the course of two-straight wins. The Blue Demons topped Oakland and UConn at Wish Field on Sept. 18 and Sept. 25, respectively.
BLUE DEMONS VS. BLUEJAYS
During last year's modified conference schedule, the Blue Demons took on Creighton on a pair of occasions. DePaul claimed its first-ever win over Creighton in the matchup at Wish Field on March 13. Goals by Jake Fuderer and Timmy Iscra led the Blue Demons past the Bluejays for the Blue Demons second BIG EAST win of the season. In the season finale, Creighton held off the Blue Demons to win 4-3 in Omaha, Neb.
