Creighton Downs Bradley in Exhibition Finale

OMAHA, NE – Bradley sophomore midfielder Rasmus Smidtslund scored twice, but Creighton senior forward Diego Gutierrez countered with a hat trick, leading the host Bluejays to a 4-2 exhibition victory against the visiting Braves Friday night in front of 1,112 fans at Morrison Stadium.

The third of three exhibition games for both teams inside of a week, Friday's game was delayed by lightning in the 14th minute. While a passing storm kept the teams indoors for nearly 90 minutes, they came out firing after the break, combining for four goals in 16 minutes to close out the first half.
