Men's Soccer Ends Exhibition Slate With 2-1 Victory Over UIC

OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's soccer team scored a pair of second-half goals to outlast UIC 2-1 during the Bluejays' final exhibition match on Saturday afternoon at Morrison Stadium.

After both teams went scoreless in the opening 45 minutes, Kuba Polat converted a penalty kick during the 66th minute to give Creighton a 1-0 edge. Ziyad Fares drew a foul in the middle of the box to set up the PK.

Freshman Diego Dutilh added to the Bluejays' tally with a goal during the 72nd minute. The Chile native launched a shot from just inside Creighton's half of midfield and over the goalkeeper before the ball bounced over the endline.
