Omaha, Neb. -- No. 10 Creighton clinched a share of the 2026 BIG EAST Midwest Division Championship with a 2-1 win over DePaul on Friday, November 6.
The win lifted the Bluejays to 12-1-5 on the season and 4-1-3 in BIG EAST action, while DePaul fell to 5-6-5 overall and 2-4-2 in conference contests.

Playing for nothing but pride, DePaul answered in the 26th minute (25:57) as Keagn Pace finished touches from Mason Kutch and Noeh Hernandez to knot the match at 1-1.
Creighton co-captain and wing back Matthew Reed put the Bluejays ahead to stay in the 76th minute (75:30) with his 13th goal of the season. Reed and freshman Jordan Igwenma executed a give and go to beat DePaul goalkeeper Chance Johnson for the game-winner.
