‘Dodge Street Derby’ between Bluejays and Mavericks ends in a draw

Nebraska-Omaha struck first, Creighton answered, and everything before, after, and in between kept the Labor Day crowd of 4,766 at Morrison Stadium constantly entertained as the Bluejays and Mavericks played to a 1-1 draw after 110 minutes of soccer on Monday night.

Sharing the same field as the Bluejays for the first time as a Division 1 program, Nebraska-Omaha didn’t take long to bring their large contingent of fans to their feet with an incredible long-distance strike just 12:38 into the match.

After a Creighton foul on the right flank just outside the 18-yard box, Maverick senior forward Fazlo Alihodzic beat Creighton senior goalkeeper Alex Kapp to the near post.
