Creighton’s all-time winningest soccercoach, Bob Warming continues to guide

one of the elite soccer programs in the country,by molding and motivating student-athletesfrom around the midwest, the nation and theworld. With 15 consecutive trips to the NCAATournament and one of the finest collegiatesoccer stadiums in the country, Warming con-tinually has his teams poised for a national titlerun. Entering his 30th season as a collegiatecoach, his imprint in NCAA history is becominggreater, as he starts the season ranked eighthamong active NCAA Division I coaches and14th in Division I history with 348 career victo-ries, while he is one of only two coaches inDivision I to take two different programs to theCollege Cup Final Four.

The Missouri Valley Conference All-Centennial coach, Warming enters his seventhseason in his second stint with the Bluejaysafter serving as the Bluejay leader from 1990-94. After resurrecting a dormant Creighton pro-gram in 1990 and establishing the Jays as apowerhouse in the 1990s, Warming went on toa successful four-year stint as head coach atSaint Louis University, before returning toOmaha prior to the 2001 season. Since hisreturn, his teams have appeared in six straightNCAA tournaments and with his help, CU hasbuilt and moved into a new on-campus soccer-specific stadium and ranked in the NCAA top10 in attendance every year since 2003.

In 2006, the Bluejays captured both theMVC regular-season and tournament titles,accomplishing the sweep for the first time since1995. The Jays also had both the MVC Playerof the Year Michael Kraus and MVC DefensivePlayer of the Year Matt Allen. For just the sec-ond time in school history, four players fromone squad moved on to play professional soc-cer as Kraus was joined by Ryan Junge andAndrew Peterson in the MLS and PietariHolopainen returned to his homeland to playprofessionally in Finland. Warming was alsohonored as the coach of the MVC All-Centennial team, as the conference celebratedits 100th anniversary.

Warming was tabbed the 2005 NSCAA/adi-das Midwest Region Coach of the Year, in guid-ing the Bluejays to a 15-5-3 mark and MVCtournament title. The Bluejays led the MVCand ranked among NCAA leaders in bothoffense and defense. Helped by All-AmericanMatt Wieland and MVC Freshman of the YearByron Dacy, the Bluejays advanced to theNCAA tournament quarterfinals for the thirdtime in four years.

Before a 14-4-2 campaign in 2004 producedan NCAA third round appearance, the 2003Bluejays captured their first regular-seasonValley championship since 1996. They endedthe season in the NCAA quarterfinals.Warming shifted gears from a high-poweredoffense in 2002, to one of the top defenses –19th in goals against average – in the nation in2003, with both formulas producing success forthe coach in his tenure at Creighton.

In 2002, Warming guided his squad to theNCAA semifinals in just his second seasonback in Omaha. The Jays won the MVC tour-nament title to earn an automatic bid to theNCAA postseason. The Jays played host to asecond-round NCAA match, the first NCAAmatch at home since 1995. Warming’s teamsnapped Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s 19-game win-ning streak, defeated third-ranked St. John’s onthe road and romped past sixth-ranked BostonCollege, 6-2, to advance to the College Cup inDallas. A hard-fought double-overtime loss toStanford ended the Jays’ season at 18-4-2.

Warming was a finalist for the NSCAA/adi-das National Coach of the Year for his tutelagein 2002. Perhaps more notable than his team’srecord in 2002, was where the Jays came fromto get there. Creighton lost in the first-round ofthe NCAA tournament in 2001, ending 11-9-1.Warming’s well-known recruiting ability andmotivating skills helped get the Jays back tothe College Cup with an impressive and quickturn-around.

Since his return to Omaha in 2001, theBluejays have continued an astounding feat byhaving at least one player selected in eachMLS Draft. Creighton is the only college pro-gram in the country to have a player selected inevery MLS Draft ever held. In fact, since 199336 former Bluejays have gone on to play pro-fessional soccer.

His 155 career wins at Creighton are thebest in school history. His record in a cumula-tive 11 years at the helm is 155-52-22 (.725),with a home record of 86-12-10 (.843) and anoverall Valley record of 52-13-4 (.783). He hasguided the Jays to five Missouri ValleyConference regular-season championships, sixMVC Tournament championships and has lednine CU squads to the NCAA Tournament.

In his first stint at Creighton, Warmingarrived in Omaha in 1989 to resurrect theBluejays’ program, which had taken a four-yearabsence from competition. He took one year torecruit and get the program in administrativeorder. In their first season of competition, with afreshman-dominated roster, the Bluejays burst

upon the Midwest Region scene with a 12-5-3mark in 1990.

In its second season of competition underWarming’s leadership, Creighton climbed intothe national rankings in 1991 after becomingthe first visiting team to ever win the Universityof Virginia Tournament. The following seasonwould prove to be the breakthrough year, asCreighton became the first team to beat tradi-tional Midwest Region powers SMU and SaintLouis on the road in the same season withback-to-back victories on the same weekend.That feat gave the Bluejays a hold on theRegion’s No. 1 ranking - for 26 consecutiveweeks. The Bluejays went on to claim their firstMissouri Valley Conference regular seasontitle, MVC Tournament championship andNCAA Tournament berth.

Under Warming’s tutelage, the Jays finishedan unbeaten, untied regular season (19-0-0) in1993, which was the first time that feat had

UnderWarming, Charlotte won its first Sun BeltConference title and climbed into the ISAA Top25 national rankings for the first time – in theheart of ACC country. While at Charlotte,Warming became the youngest coach (31 at thetime) to post 100 career victories. He wasnamed Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Yearthree times.

Roster Information


The Bluejays lost a record number of playersto the professional ranks following 2006, as

four players from last year’s Missouri ValleyConference championship team are now play-ing pro soccer. With the amount of talent lost inthose four players and losing more than half ofits starters from a year ago, Creighton will havea different look in 2007. Some things neverchange however, as the goals of being the bestteam in the MVC, making a deep run into theNCAA Tournament and winning a national titlestill remain.

Despite the loss of four players to profes-sional ball, including 2006 MVC Player of theYear Michael Kraus, the Bluejays have a solidcore of talented returners, led by two players onthe 2007 Missouri Athletic Club’s HermannTrophy preseason watch list. Senior goalkeep-er Matt Allen is the reigning MVC DefensivePlayer of the Year and he returns to anchor aback five that is expected to be the strength ofthis season’s squad. Junior forward ByronDacy joins Allen on the preseason watch list forNational Player of the Year honors, after leadingthe top-scoring offense in the MVC to both theconference regular-season and tournamentchampionships last year.

Allen, an Omaha native, is back for his fourthyear as the Bluejays’ starting goalkeeper. Healready ranks among Creighton career leadersin every major goalkeeping category and is onpace to establish school records for shutoutsand minutes played. The net-minder logged a0.93 goals against average last year and his0.84 career GAA ranks second in school history.

Playing a flat-back four in front of Allen is asolid defensive group that helped the Bluejaysrecord nine shutouts last year. Options at cen-ter back are impressive, with senior TonySchmitz settling into the role after being one ofthe Jays’ most versatile players throughout hiscareer. Schmitz started 19 of the 21 matches heplayed last year and brings valuable experienceand leadership to the position. SophomoreThomas Gjoesund started 14 of 18 matches inthe back last year and will look to continue hisimprovement on defense.

Sophomore Chris Schuler returns at his leftcenter back position after laying claim to thestarting role as a freshman during an impressiverookie campaign last year. The athletic defend-er was named a freshman All-American bySoccer America and earned MVC DefensivePlayer of the Week honors twice in his debutseason with the Bluejays. Not only a stellardefender, all three of his goals last year went forgame-winners.

On the outside of the Creighton defense arefamiliar faces in new roles for the Bluejays.Sophomore Jeff Thayer ranked third on theteam with four goals and 12 points in earning all-MVC Freshman recognition as a forward last

year, but will take his talents to the right backrole this season. Junior Seth Sinovic will seetime in the back this season after seeing amajority of his action in the midfield last year,including 10 starts. Senior Sam Eid will look touse his tall frame in the back as well, after mostof the playing time in his career has come upfront. Freshman Sergio Castillo could also finda role on the outside of the Bluejay defense.

Perhaps the largest question the Bluejaysand head coach Bob Warming may have toanswer this season is presented by the midfieldposition. Who will emerge from this deep andtalented group to establish themselves as maincontributors on the pitch?

Hoping to answer that question are returnersDanny Minutillo, Rodrigo Faria and Sinovic.Minutillo, a senior, has been slowed by injuriesthroughout his career, but has proven a valuablecommodity when he is healthy enough for majorminutes in the middle. Faria was named to theMVC All-Freshman Team a year ago while con-tributing a pair of goals and an assist in startingeight matches in the midfield. Sinovic emergedas a solid threat in the middle last year afterplaying just one match in 2005.

The Bluejays will also have the luxury ofadding the reigning NSCAA National HighSchool Player of the Year, Andrew Duran, tothe midfield mix. Duran, a two-time prep All-American, will look to bring his play-making abil-ity to the collegiate level this fall. Castillo isanother option in the midfield as well.

Dacy will head up an impressive attack forthe Bluejays. The junior led the team with sixassists and 16 points last year, as the Jays ledthe MVC in scoring for the second straight sea-son. The gifted attacker was slowed by injury tostart last year, but has proven himself to be inthe best shape of his career, and can be lookedupon for even more impressive offensive totalsin his third year as a Bluejay.

Senior Tim Bohnenkamp and sophomoreMo Travis return alongside Dacy up front.Bohnenkamp, the active career assists leaderfor the Bluejays (16), has been a proven creatorsince arriving at Creighton and his speed on theleft side of the attack can be game-changing.Travis gives the Bluejays a burst of speed on theright side of the attack, as the sophomore talliedthree goals in limited time during his rookie cam-paign a year ago.

Newcomers Tucker Sindlinger and AndreiGotsmanov, along with returner Tim Walters,all bring accomplished depth to the attack.Sindlinger has extensive international experi-ence with the Region II Olympic DevelopmentProgram squad and already has two years ofPDL experience with the Des Moines Menace.Gotsmanov, who enters Creighton with twoyears of eligibility remaining, was a 2004 fresh-man All-American and all-Big East honoree

while leading St. John’s in scoring beforeattending junior college the past two seasons.Walters, a junior forward, appeared in 14 match-es off the bench in his first year with theBluejays last year.

Creighton annually plays a challengingschedule and this season appears no different,with six Bluejay opponents coming off an NCAAappearance in 2006, including a home matchagainst national runners-up UCLA on Sept. 8.UCLA, ranked No. 1 in some preseason polls, isone of three Pac-10 teams to visit MorrisonStadium this fall. The Jays open the year withPac-10 affiliate San Diego State (Aug. 31) andalso host Washington (Sept. 29) in a rematch ofCreighton’s 2006 NCAA tournament match.

The Bluejays’ other three contests againstNCAA postseason teams from last year comeagainst Indiana (Sept. 13), Western Illinois (Oct.5) and UNC-Greensboro (Oct. 20). Six ofCreighton’s nine home matches will take placebefore Oct. 6, as the Bluejays will look to con-tinue establishing attendance records. TheBluejays’ MVC-opener against Bradley on Oct.10 will be nationally televised live from MorrisonStadium on Fox Soccer Channel.

For the second time in the brief history ofMorrison Stadium, the Bluejays will again playhost to the State Farm MVC SoccerChampionship in mid-November. First-roundplay opens the event on Wednesday, Nov. 14,followed by the semifinals on Nov. 16 and thechampionship match Sunday, Nov. 18. TheJays are the two-time defending MVC tourna-ment champs and will aim to capture their 11thtourney title to again propel them into the NCAAtournament for the 16th consecutive year.

Matt Allen was named the 2006 MVC DefensivePlayer of the Year and is a preseason NationalPlayer of the Year candidate this year.

Missouri Valley Conference


Fresh off a centennial celebration in 2006-07, the Missouri ValleyConference begins its second centennial as a leader in college ath-letics and is the nation's second-oldest NCAA Division I conference.

In the league's first 100 seasons, 32 members combined for 27national championships, while 56 Valley student-athletes capturedNCAA individual titles. In addition, Valley student-athletes andcoaches earned 50 National Player or Coach of the Year honors intheir respective sports. And the league had a myriad of student-ath-letes who collected All-America honors and earned national aca-demic distinction in The Valley's first century.

The Missouri Valley Conference continues to lead by example asone of college athletics' most progressive conferences. The Valleyemphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressivein its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions.

While the success of men's basketball has received the greatestattention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually everysport continues to raise the national profile of the conference.

In men's basketball, The Valley has received much nationalacclaim over the past decade during its return to prominence. In2007-08, the MVC will be looking to extend its streak of consecutiveseasons with two or more teams advancing to NCAA Tournamentplay to 10-straight years. Last year, two teams (Creighton, SouthernIllinois) made the field with SIU reaching the Sweet 16. Meanwhile,the league finished No. 6 - its all-time high - in the RatingsPercentage Index (RPI) a second-straight season. Notably, TheValley has had 10 post-season teams in men's basketball over thepast two seasons, with three NCAA Sweet 16 trips (Bradley,Southern Illinois and Wichita State).

The Valley made history in March 2007 with record attendancefor four days at St. Louis' Scottrade Center as 85,074 fans turned outto watch the five sessions of the tournament. The two sellout crowdsof 22,612 for the semifinals and final of the 2007 State FarmTournament set an all-time attendance record for basketball at thearena and also gave The Valley the distinction of having the largestchampionship crowd for any of the 30 NCAA conferences in 2007.

There were plenty of other milestones for The Valley in the ath-letic arena in 2006-07. In February 2007, The Valley announced itsState Farm Missouri Valley Conference Women's BasketballChampionship would move to a neutral site for the first time inleague history, bringing the championship to The Family Arena inSaint Charles, Mo. Three league teams, meanwhile, represented theMVC in post-season play as Drake, despite its No. 8 seed, won theleague tourney to reach the NCAAs, while Illinois State andSouthern Illinois each got to the second round of the WNIT.

In baseball, Wichita State was nationally ranked for the entireseason, winning 53 games and finishing one series win shy of reach-ing the College World Series. Creighton won the State Farm MVCTournament behind the MVP pitching performance of juniorambidextrous hurler Pat Venditte as the Bluejays joined theShockers in NCAA play.

Three Missouri Valley Conference softball programs -- 2007MVC Tournament champion Creighton, Illinois State and SouthernIllinois -- represented the league in the 2007 NCAA Division I SoftballChampionship. It marked the fifth-consecutive year The Valley hasearned multiple bids to the NCAA tournament and the third-straightseason in which three teams have earned spots in the field. SIUhosted a NCAA regional, and each Valley team won a tournamentgame.

In men's soccer, Creighton won the league tournament champi-onship and gained a spot in its 15th consecutive NCAA SoccerTournament. Bradley tied for the regular-season championship butfailed to earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament. In women's soccer,Drake won its first State Farm MVC Tournament title to secure itsfirst NCAA Tournament berth in school history.

In volleyball, for the first time in league history, two teamsadvanced to the second round of the NCAA Volleyball Tournamentin the same year as conference champ UNI and tournament runner-up Missouri State advanced with 3-1 victories in opening-round play.The Panthers defeated Big South champion Winthrop and MissouriState defeated Arkansas of the Southeastern Conference.

During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley's ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hostingNCAA events in St. Louis. That role came to a spectacular climax in

April 2005 as the conference collaborated with local partners tostage the Men's Final Four at the Edward Jones Dome.

And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progressivein pursuing NCAA events, the oldest Division I athletic conferencewest of the Mississippi River has continued to be a national leaderin the athletic arena.

The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administratorsrepresenting five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel inKansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formedthe Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association wereWashington University of St. Louis, and the state universities ofIowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initialmeeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State --were admitted.

In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport.Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the followingsports: baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's andwomen's cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men'sand women's golf, men's and women's soccer, softball, women'sswimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, and women's vol-leyball.

Athletic accomplishments on the men's athletics side include 10national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four,a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Seriesqualifiers. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women'saccomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women'sBasketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and MissouriState (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) inwomen's basketball, while MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women'sFinal Four appearance, and Creighton (2003) and Drake (1999)have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament.

Indeed, the inclusion of women's programs under The Valleybanner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate AthleticConference -- which began in 1982 -- merged with the MissouriValley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conferenceon July 1, 1992.

And while the inclusion of women's sports under a comprehen-sive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league's storiedhistory, over the years, Valley student-athletes and coaches havebecome household names during the league's illustrious history,both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professionalcareers.

In fact, The Valley began honoring that tradition in the summer of1997, when the conference began its athletics Hall of Fame. HerseyHawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State, Wes Unseld ofLouisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State, Dave Stallworth ofWichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis, and Oscar Robertson ofCincinnati were members of the initial induction class. Currently,more than 30 former players, coaches and alums dot the league'sHall of Fame.

Men's basketball, perhaps, has the league's most storied tradi-tion with the likes of Hall of Famers Bird and Robertson, but TheValley has also produced national-caliber student-athletes in itsother sponsored sports. In 2001, Missouri State's Jackie Stilesbecame the first Valley woman to earn the Honda-Broderick Cup,given to the nation's top female collegiate student-athlete. In thesport of track and field, Indiana State's Holli Hyche captured sevennational sprint titles in the early 1990s, Southern Illinois' Darrin Plabwon back-to-back NCAA outdoor high jump titles in 1991 and 1992,and SIU's Brittany Riley became the World record holder in theweight throw in 2007.

“Billy Bluejay” is the official mascot of the CreightonUniversity athletics department. The Bluejays were origi-nally depicted by a “birdwatcher’s bluejay,” but that waschanged in 1941 when Joseph P. Murphy, a Creightonalumnus, designed the current version of Billy, one with amore human stance and expression.

Prior to 1924, Creighton teams were referred to as the“Hilltoppers,” but that name lost favor because at least sixother teams in the country also used the same nickname.The Omaha Bee assisted the University’s Athletic Boardand Alumni Association in finding a new nickname by ask-ing readers to submit possibilities. After reviewing 200entries, the Athletic Board decided upon “Bluejays”because of the school’s colors, blue and white.

Today, Creighton remains the only NCAA Division I ath-letics program known officially as the Bluejays.

In addition to new locker rooms, the 13,000-square-foot Support Center includes The ParkerFamily Foundation Academic Learning Center, staffoffices, an expanded athletic medicine area andadditional athletics storage space.

The Parker Family Foundation AcademicLearning Center includes staff offices, 20 computerstations, study tables, sound-proof carrels for tutor-ing and partitions to divide the area into sections forquiet, individual or group study.

The Blue and White Fund was established byformer Creighton student-athletes, alumni andfriends to support this $1.7 million renovation proj-ect, which was completed in the fall of 1998.

University PresidentRev. John P. Schlegel, S.J.

Bruce Rasmussen enters his 14th year as direc-tor of athletics, and 28th overall at CreightonUniversity. During his tenure, Creighton has risen toprominence with its success on-and-off the field,impressive new facilities and record-breakingfundraising efforts.

The men’s soccer team is one of a handful ofschools to appear in each of the last 15 NCAATournaments, while the men’s basketball team is justthe second team in the 101-year history of theMissouri Valley Conference to reach the postseasonin 10 straight campaigns. Combined, Creighton is theonly school in the country that can claim 10 consecu-

tive postseason appearances in men’s soccer and men’s basketball.The Creighton softball team has made four NCAA Tournament appearances in

the last five years, while the baseball team won a MVC regular-season title in 2005and MVC Tournament title in 2007 while spending time in the national rankings ineach of the past three seasons. CU was the nation’s only school to win leaguetournaments in baseball, men’s basketball and men’s soccer in 2006-07.

Four Creighton teams moved to new facilities in 2003-04. The men’s basketballteam moved to the riverfront to play in the brand-new, $291 million, Qwest CenterOMAHA™. Last winter, the Jays averaged an MVC-record 15,909 fans per gameand ranked 13th nationally in attendance. Additionally, the Creighton volleyballteam found a new home at the venerable Omaha Civic Auditorium in 2003.

The Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium opened as one of the premier soccervenues in the country. Located on the east edge of the Creighton campus, thecomplex includes 6,000 seats and will serve as the home for the 2007 State FarmMissouri Valley Conference Men’s Soccer Tournament this fall.

Rasmussen also has continued to make outstanding hires at every opportuni-ty. Most recently, Kirsten Bernthal Booth has helped the volleyball team improveby 18 wins in her first four seasons, while Ed Servais earned MVC Coach of theYear honors in three of his first four years. Another recent hire, women’s basket-ball’s Jim Flanery, matched the MVC record with 48 wins in his first two seasonsand led his first three teams to the postseason. Flanery’s 2004 team won theschool’s first postseason national title of any kind when they won the WNIT.

Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association ofCollegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSportsTURF Systems AD of the Year Award.

In terms of academics, Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top aca-demic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have hadin the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’sbaseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’scross country, women’s soccer and men’s and women’s tennis teams all havereceived national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletesconsistently own GPA’s of 3.25 or above.

Creighton’s primary annual fund-raising events are the Bluejay Bash and theBluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s supervision, each of these events contin-ues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2006Jamboree generated more than $291,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle andauction. The successful fund-raising efforts have allowed Creighton to enhance itssoccer, baseball and softball facilities under Rasmussen’s leadership. In 1998, the$1.7 million Student-Athlete Support Center renovation project was completed inthe Old Gymnasium, resulting in seven new team locker rooms, an expanded ath-letic training facility, new offices and storage space and an academic learning cen-ter. The centerpiece of the project is The Parker Family Foundation AcademicLearning Center, which houses the athletic department’s academic support teamand features 20 computer stations and private study areas.
