4 Creighton Soccer ¥ A Decade of Dominance Student-Athlete Support

Creighton University’s Student-Athlete Support Center was a major renovation of existing space in the Creighton Gymnasium, with the goal of enlarging and improving locker rooms and support facilities. In addition to new locker rooms, the 13,000-square- foot Support Center includes The Parker Family Foundation Academic Learning Center, staff offices, an expanded athletic medicine area and additional athletics storage space. The Blue and White Fund was established by former Creighton student-athletes, alumni and friends to support this $1.7 million renovation project, which was completed in the fall of 1998. Another major facility project began in the spring of 1999, as the Creighton Sports Complex was remodeled. The Bluejay baseball and softball fields received new playing surfaces and updated drainage systems prior to the 2000 season and The Kitty Gaughan Pavilion was completed this summer. The two-story clubhouse includes coaches offices and a furnished lounge area with kitchenette on the upper level and batting cages, locker rooms and a training room on the lower level.

6 Creighton Soccer ¥ A Decade of Dominance Bluejays In The Pros

Johnny Torres ¥ 1996 & 1997 National Player Of The Year Creighton University’s soccer program is proud to boast it has produced 10 All-Americans, including five finalists for the NSCAA “Player of the Year.” Johnny Torres is arguably the most talented player to come out of the Creighton soccer program. In 1997 Torres was tabbed as the National “Player of the Year” earning both the Hermann and Missouri Athletic Club awards and Soccer America’s honor in 1996. Torres was drafted by the New England Revolution as the sixth overall pick in the 1998 Major League Soccer draft. The Mendellin, Colombia, native played four seasons with the Revolution.

Torres was involved in community outreach in the New England area where he regularly visited schools to promote literacy. He also has served as the spokesperson for the Massachusetts Governor Highway Safety Bureau and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

While at Creighton, Torres scored 128 points by netting 46 goals and dishing-out 36 assists in his four years with the Bluejays. Each of those totals rank in the top five on the CU career charts. Torres was named the Missouri Valley Conference “Player of the Year”, earned All-America status twice and earned all-region and all-MVC all four seasons.

Brian Mullan ¥ 2001 MLS First Round Draft Pick The most recent Bluejay to impact the MLS is forward Brian Mullan. Mullan was drafted by the Los Angeles Galaxy as the ninth overall pick in the first round of the 2001 MLS draft. The Colorado native appeared in just 10 matches during his rookie campaign after suffering a severely sprained ankle early in the season, but worked his way into a starting role in 2002. Mullan recovered in time to help the Galaxy make a run to the MLS Cup 2001, playing in the championship match against former Creighton team- mate, Richard Mulrooney (San Jose Earthquakes).

Mullan was twice an All-America and all-region player from 1998 through 2001, playing in a CU record 88 matches in his career. Mullan’s 49 points in 2000 rank as the highest single-season point total since the 1990 rebirth of men’s soccer at Creighton. He is one of four Bluejays to ever record more than 100 points in a career (104) and he is one of two Jays to record more than 30 goals and 30 assists in a career (Johnny Torres). Mullan’s additional honors at Creighton include being selected as a four-time all-MVC player, the 2000 MVC Tournament MVP, and a member of the MVC Scholar-Athlete Team.
