Creighton ended the match with a 21-9 advantage in shots
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's soccer team battled UC Davis to a scoreless draw on Sunday night at Morrison Stadium.
The Bluejays moved to 1-0-1 on the season, while the Aggies also advanced their record to 1-0-1.
Creighton held a 21-9 advantage in shots, including 6-1 in shots on goal, but the Bluejays did not find the back of the net during the 110 minutes of play.
Freshman Paul Kruse also recorded his second shutout in as many matches as Creighton completed consecutive shutouts to start the season for the first time since 2015.Â
Junior Luke Haakenson created the Bluejays first scoring chance during the 19th minute. Haakenson received a through-ball from Daniel Espeleta, took one dribble in the right-side of the 18-yard box and fired a shot towards the far post that went wide of the net.Â
Sven Koenig fired the first shot on goal by either team during the 43rd minute. The senior sent in a low shot from about 15 yards out before UC Davis goalkeeper Wallis Lapsley made his first save of the match.
Creighton had an additional chance during the final minute of the first half but the referee signaled for offside.
UC Davis created a pair of scoring opportunities during the early stages of the second half, but neither resulted in a shot on goal.
Bluejay junior Tor Trosten nearly converted the first goal of the match, but his one-on-one matchup with the goalie resulted in a save by Lapsley.
During the 88th minute, Joel Rydstrand sent a free kick from the right side of the pitch towards the top of the box where Yudai Tashiro launched a shot, but the ball ended up just wide of the net after a deflection.Â
The Aggies had an opportunity to break the deadlock during the 90th minute off a free kick. UC Davis sent the ball from the near sideline towards the middle of the box where Marte Formico headed the ball off the far post.Â
During the closing seconds of regulation, Tashiro fired a Creighton free kick from about 20 yards out, but the UC Davis wall blocked the ball away as time expired.
The Aggies had one shot on goal during the first 10-minute overtime, and the Bluejays tallied one of their own in the second OT, but both were saved.
The Bluejays held a 14-5 edge in shots after halftime, and 4-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Creighton returns to action on Friday night in Phoenix against Grand Canyon. Kickoff between the Bluejays and Lopes is scheduled for 9 p.m. Central.Â
