2007 Men's Soccer Thread

[blueness]

Creighton has a gem of schedule this season. (UCLA, Indiana, Washington, and San Diego State are the non-con highlights).

Also, former Hermann Award winner Johnny Torres has retired from professional soccer and will be on the coaching staff this season.

They are still solid at the mids, defense and goal..and if someone can step and be a big-time striker, then it could be a Top10 season for them (there is loads of talent everywhere...its a matter of having someone step up and be big-time goal scorer, which they haven't had since Julian Nash and Mike Tranchilla).

Aces soccer is on the rise. Coach Jacobs has the program moving back to the top and fast. Just a matter of time before the Aces are winning conference titles and going to the College Cup again like in the Coach Schmalz days.
