He took one year to recruit and get the program in administrative order. In their first season of competition, with a freshman-dominated roster, the Bluejays burst upon the Midwest Region scene with a 12-5-3 mark in 1990. In its second season of competition under Warming’s leadership, Creighton climbed into the national rankings in 1991 after becoming the first visiting team to ever win the University of Virginia Tournament. The following season would prove to be the breakthrough year, as CU became the first team to beat traditional Midwest Region powers SMU and Saint Louis on the road in the same season with back-to-back victories on the same weekend. That feat gave the Bluejays a stranglehold on the Region’s No. 1 ranking. The Bluejays went on to claim their first Missouri Valley Conference regular season title, MVC Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament berth. Under Warming’s tutelage, the Jays finished an unbeaten regular season (19-0-0) in 1993, which was the first time that feat had been accomplished since 1973. CU claimed the top seed in the NCAA Tournament and was the No. 1 team in the nation in the final ISAA coaches poll. The explosive success of Creighton’s program earned Warming the Soccer Head Coach Bob Warming with his wife, Cindy, and their children, Emily, Bess, News’1993 National Coach of the Year honor.
