The Creighton Soccer program entered a new era in 2003 with theopening of an on-campus soccer facility, the Michael G. Morrison,

S.J., Stadium. The Jays moved to the facility after playing home gamesat Tranquility Park in western Omaha from 1990 through 2002.

The Arena Grass all-weather surface is the first of its kind in theUnited States and makes the playing surface at the stadium one of thefinest in the country. With the downtown Omaha skyline to the south,Qwest Center OMAHA to the east, the Creighton campus expansion tothe west and situated just blocks from the Old Market, the new facilityplaces student-athletes in the middle of it all.

Morrison Stadium’s now completed seating capacity is 6,000.Construction on the stadium was completed in 2004 and includes astate-of-the-art video and scoreboard, team souvenir shop, coveredchairback seating, luxury suites, enclosed press box, concession standsand banquet area. (See photos on inside covers).

Bluejay soccer has enjoyed incredible success at home since its rein-ception in 1990. The Jays’ home record is 127-20-8 for an impressivewinning percentage of .845 since 1990. During that span the Jays havenever lost more than three matches at home in one season and haveconsistently ranked among national leaders in attendance.

The $13 million facility hosted its first match on Aug. 29, 2003 andwas officially dedicated on Oct. 15, 2004.

Fans have flocked to Morrison Stadium since its inaugural year in 2003,helping the Bluejays to rank in the top 10 in the NCAA in attendance eachof the past three seasons.

Skillful, Creative & Strong. One of Eleven.This is the all-new Maximus, debuting on the feet of Francesco Totti.

Creighton’s all-time winningest soccercoach, Bob Warming continues to guide

one of the elite soccer programs in the country,by molding and motivating student-athletesfrom around the midwest, the nation and theworld. With 14 consecutive trips to the NCAATournament, a 9-3-2 record in the NCAA post-season over the last four years and one of thefinest collegiate soccer stadiums in the country,Warming continually has his teams poised for anational title run. Entering his 29th season asa collegiate coach, his imprint in NCAA historyis becoming greater, as he starts the seasonranked eighth among active NCAA Division Icoaches and 15th in Division I history with 335career victories.

The Bluejays’ head coach from 1990-94,Warming enters his sixth season in his secondstint with the Bluejays. After resurrecting a dor-mant Creighton program in 1990 and establish-ing the Jays as a powerhouse in the 1990s,Warming went on to a successful four-year stintas head coach at Saint Louis University, beforereturning to Omaha prior to the 2001 season.Since his return, his teams have appeared infive straight NCAA tournaments and with hishelp, CU has built and moved into a new on-campus soccer-specific stadium.

The 2005 NSCAA/adidas Midwest RegionCoach of the Year led the Bluejays to a 15-5-3mark and record ninth MVC tournament titlelast year. The 2005 Bluejays led the MVC andranked among NCAA leaders in both offenseand defense. Helped by All-American MattWieland and MVC Freshman of the Year ByronDacy, the Bluejays advanced to the NCAA tour-nament quarterfinals for the third time in fouryears.

Before a 14-4-2 campaign in 2004 producedan NCAA third round appearance, the 2003Bluejays captured their first regular-seasonMissouri Valley Conference championshipsince 1996. They ended the season in theNCAA quarterfinals. Warming shifted gearsfrom a high-powered offense in 2002, to one ofthe top defenses – 19th in goals against aver-age – in the nation in 2003, with both formulasproducing success for the coach in his 10 yearsat Creighton.

In 2002, Warming guided his squad to theNCAA semifinals in just his second seasonback in Omaha. The Jays won the MVC tour-nament title to earn an automatic bid to the

NCAA postseason. The Jays played host to asecond-round NCAA match, the first NCAAmatch at home since 1995. Warming’s teamsnapped Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s 19-game win-ning streak, defeated third-ranked St. John’s onthe road and romped past sixth-ranked BostonCollege, 6-2, to advance to the College Cup inDallas. A hard-fought double-overtime loss toStanford ended the Jays’ season at 18-4-2.

Warming was a finalist for the NSCAA/adi-das National Coach of the Year for his tutelagein 2002. Perhaps more notable than his team’srecord in 2002, was where the Jays came fromto get there. Creighton lost in the first-round ofthe NCAA tournament in 2001, ending 11-9-1.Warming’s well-known recruiting ability andmotivating skills helped get the Jays back tothe College Cup with an impressive and quickturn-around.

Since his return to Omaha in 2001, theBluejays have continued an astounding feat byhaving at least one player selected in eachMLS Draft. Creighton is the only college pro-gram in the country to have a player selected inevery MLS Draft ever held. Since Warmingbrought the program back to life in the 1990s,32 former Bluejays have gone on to play pro-fessional soccer.

His 142 career wins at Creighton are thebest in school history. His record in a cumula-tive decade at the helm is 142-47-19 (.730),with a home record of 80-11-8 (.848) and anoverall Valley record of 48-12-3 (.786). He hasguided the Jays to four Missouri ValleyConference regular-season championships,five MVC Tournament championships and hasled eight CU squads to the NCAA Tournament.

In his first stint at Creighton, Warmingarrived in Omaha in 1989 to resurrect theBluejays’ program, which had taken a four-yearabsence from competition. He took one year torecruit and get the program in administrativeorder. In their first season of competition, with afreshman-dominated roster, the Bluejays burstupon the Midwest Region scene with a 12-5-3mark in 1990.

In its second season of competition underWarming’s leadership, Creighton climbed intothe national rankings in 1991 after becomingthe first visiting team to ever win the Universityof Virginia Tournament. The following seasonwould prove to be the breakthrough year, asCreighton became the first team to beat tradi-

tional Midwest Region powers SMU and SaintLouis on the road in the same season withback-to-back victories on the same weekend.That feat gave the Bluejays a hold on theRegion’s No. 1 ranking - for 26 consecutiveweeks. The Bluejays went on to claim their firstMissouri Valley Conference regular seasontitle, MVC Tournament championship andNCAA Tournament berth.

Under Warming’s tutelage, the Jays finishedan unbeaten, untied regular season (19-0-0) in1993, which was the first time that feat hadbeen accomplished in the NCAA since 1973.Creighton claimed the top seed in the NCAATournament and was the No. 1 team in thenation in the final ISAA coaches poll. Theexplosive success of Creighton’s programearned Warming the Soccer News’ 1993National Coach of the Year honor.

Warming reaped the rewards of success withconsecutive MVC and Midwest Region Coach ofthe Year awards in 1992 and 1993. He was afinalist for National Coach of the Year honorsfrom 1991 through 1993.

Warming is not only an architect for soccersuccess on the field, he has helped design andraise funds for two of the finest facilities in thecountry. In 2003, the Bluejays played on cam-pus for the first time in the program’s history,with the opening of the $13 million Michael G.Morrison, S.J., Stadium. The state-of-the-artfacility was completed in 2004 and includes aone-of-a-kind Arena Grass synthetic surface,video replay board, covered grandstand seatingand luxury suites. In 1999, while at Saint Louis,he helped return the Billikens to an upgradedon-campus facility as well, one which will hostthe 2006 Men’s College Cup.

Since the Bluejays move to one of the bestcollege soccer venues in the country, Warmingand his winning teams have helped fill thestands and suites at Morrison Stadium, asCreighton has led the MVC and ranked in theNCAA top-10 in attendance each of the pastthree seasons. An exhibition match betweenthe Bluejays and Stanford brought in a schoolrecord 5,743 fans in 2005.

Warming’s outgoing personality and market-ing touch has made the Bluejays a hot ticket inOmaha once again. He developed the “PeanutGalleries” program, tailored to elementaryschool children, which has since evolved into“Operation Bluejay.”

He is known as a motivator who instills astrong work ethic in his teams. Those qualitieshave resulted in motivational speaking appear-ances for such companies as IBM, the InternalRevenue Service and Xerox. Warming believesin the Creighton tradition of community service.During his first stint with the Jays, he served asthe 1995 honorary chairman of the Boy Scoutsof America for Nebraska and western Iowa andhonorary chairman of the 1994 OmahaChildren’s Crisis Center annual fund raiser.

Warming began his coaching career atTransylvania (Ky.) University for one seasonbefore moving to Berry (Ga.) College.

His powerhouse Berry squads set 14school records, and his 1981 team led thenation by averaging 5.06 goals per match. Hecoached 34 all-district players, two NAIA All-

Americans and an NAIA academic Athlete of theYear.

An impressive run at Charlotte preceded theCreighton success story. Warming inherited aprogram that had posted a 6-12-0 record in1981 and got the 49ers immediately pointed inthe right direction the next season with an 11-6-3 mark. Under Warming, Charlotte won its firstSun Belt Conference title and climbed into theISAA Top 25 national rankings for the first time -- right in the heart of ACC country. While atCharlotte, Warming became the youngest coach(31 at the time) to post 100 career victories. Hewas named Sun Belt Conference Coach of theYear three times. His record at Charlotte was asolid 67-52-17 (.555).

Prior to his return to Creighton, Warmingrebuilt a SLU program that had finished 6-12-0the year before his arrival. In his first year at theSLU helm, the Billikens advanced to the 1997Final Four. In four seasons at Saint Louis,Warming’s teams won three regular seasonConference USA championships, two C-USApostseason tournament titles and advanced tothe NCAA tournament each season, while post-ing a record of 60-17-10 (.747).

Numbers continue to accumulate for theCreighton men’s soccer team. The Bluejays

appeared in their 14th consecutive NCAA tour-nament last year after capturing their recordninth Missouri Valley Conference Tournamentchampionship. The Bluejays are one of twoschools to have advanced to the quarterfinals ofthe NCAA postseason three times in the lastfour seasons and are 9-3-2 in the national tour-nament over the last four years. Matt Wielandbecame the ninth NSCAA All-American atCreighton and the 15th Bluejay to be draftedinto Major League Soccer following the 2005campaign. But it is the loneliest number thateludes the Bluejays, and it is the 2006 Bluejaysquad that may have the ability to bring “one”home, by capturing the first NCAA title in schoolhistory.

For the second straight season, the Bluejayslose only three starters and return the corps of ateam which finished the season ranked sixth inthe nation with a 15-5-3 record. The team looksto build on its 2005 success, when the Jays ledthe MVC and ranked among national leaders inboth offense (2.13 goals per game) and defense(0.80 goals against average).

Even with the loss of three-year captain MattWieland at the defensive midfielder spot, theCreighton defense appears poised for anotherrecord-setting campaign. The Jays return amajority of the defense which tied a schoolrecord by posting five consecutive shutouts andfell one blanking shy of the single-seasonschool record with 10 shutouts in 2005. A trio ofreturners will patrol the back, with the addition ofa former high-school All-American and a pair ofinternational players.

Seniors Ryan Junge and Andrew Petersoncouple solid leadership skills with impressive tal-ent, as both have started since they arrived inOmaha. Junge is one of three returners to havestarted every match last year. In addition to hisdefensive ability, he proved to be in the rightplace at the right time on offense in 2005, scor-ing five goals and assisting on four others for 14points. He was honored on the MVC second-team for his exploits.

Peterson was tabbed to the NSCAA All-Midwest Region Second-Team as well as theMVC All-Tournament Team for his play last sea-son. He also started every match on the outsidefor the Bluejays in 2005.

Tony Schmitz, a versatile player who canplay right back but also come forward, alsoreturns after starting all but one match last sea-son. The Omaha native has proven he can shutdown the opposition while also helping theattack, dishing five assists last year.

Chris Schuler transfers to Creighton afterredshirting last season at Indiana. Schuler hasextraordinary potential and was named a high-school All-American as a senior. With an athlet-ic 6-foot-4 frame, the Bluejays expect great

things from Schuler at the center back position.Europeans Thomas Gjoesund (Norway) andPietari Holopainen (Finland) have the talent toestablish themselves as gifted collegiate playersin their first year on campus.

Junior goalkeeper Matt Allen returns in netfor the Bluejays. Allen set sophomore schoolrecords for minutes played, goals against aver-age and shutouts last season. After two sea-sons between the pipes, Allen ranks second inschool history with a 0.78 goals against averageand has compiled a 19-6-4 overall mark. TheBluejays also have a unique situation for Allen’sbackup, as former Division II All-AmericanNathan Gibson (Truman State) brings tremen-dous experience to the role, while freshman NicChristou adds talented depth.

Returning starters Danny Minutillo andTony Odorisio will help form the nucleus of oneof Warming’s deepest midfields in recent years.Minutillo proved to be a solid performer, appear-ing in 22 matches last year with 14 starts.Odorisio started the first six matches last sea-son before a hip injury forced him to miss theremainder of the year. He earned honorable-mention all-MVC accolades as a sophomoredefender and is expected to excel as a centralmidfielder this spring. Warming feels as thoughhe’s gaining another recruit after Odorisiomissed nearly the entire 2005 campaign.

Newcomer Rodrigo Faria is expected to seeimmediate playing time in the middle as well.The Brazilian brings an international flair andball-handling skills to the midfield. ReturnersTyler Stansberry and Zac Torgersen can alsobe added to the midfield mix. Stansberry is athreat to score from anywhere on the pitch,while Torgersen’s added bulk this year will helphim in a defensive midfield or back role.

Sophomore Seth Sinovic adds more versa-tility for the Bluejays. Sinovic had an impressivespring and he can plug into the back or midfieldfor CU after playing just one match as a rookielast fall. Freshmen Jeremy Wittig and TrentSenske will also look to compete for playingtime in a crowded and talented midfield.

The competition will also heat up at the for-ward position as the Bluejays return four highimpact players and add three newcomers.Seniors Michael Kraus and Jarod Tarver arethe top two active career scorers for theBluejays and both earned all-MVC recognitionlast year.

Kraus added to his postseason dominancelast year by being named to the MVC All-Tournament team for the second straight year,while also earning second-team all-conferenceand second-team all-region honors. He rankedsecond on the squad with eight goals and 21points in 2005.

Tarver, an honorable mention all-MVC selec-tion last year, added 16 points (5 g, 6 a) for theBluejay attack. He has attempted more shots

and shots on goal at Morrison Stadium than anyplayer in the three-year history of the facility.

Last year’s leading scorer, Byron Dacy, wasnamed the MVC Freshman of the Year afterleading the team with nine goals and 27 points,in addition to his nine assists. The CreightonPrep product will look to avoid a sophomoreslump and continue to be one of the most effec-tive finishers in the MVC. Junior TimBohnenkamp is also back up front after becom-ing the first Bluejay to dish 10 assists in a sea-son since 2001. The lefty will again look to keepthe Bluejay attack on track from the outside.

Freshmen and local products Mo Travis(Papillion-La Vista) and Jeff Thayer (MillardWest) also aim to be impact players up front.Sophomore transfer Tim Walters (Kentucky)will look to regain his record setting scoringtouch from his high school days, when he set aschool record with 97 goals and 222 points inhis career. The trio of forwards rounds out anexciting group of 13 newcomers.

A difficult non-conference slate should onceagain prepare the Bluejays for a deep postsea-son run. The Jays face NCAA tournamentteams Akron and either Clemson or St. John’s ata season-opening exhibition tournament andthen open the regular-season with perennialnational power Indiana and NCAA tournamentregular Notre Dame. Other non-conferencefoes include NCAA tournament teams Yale andWisconsin-Milwaukee, in addition toGeorgetown, Wisconsin, Oregon State andMemphis among others.

The State Farm MVC Soccer Championshipreturns to Peoria, Ill., site of CU’s 2-0 champi-onship win over host Bradley last season. TheJays will then aim to culminate their season innearby St. Louis, shooting for their fourthCollege Cup appearance in the last decade.

Michael Kraus is the Bluejays’ active careerscoring leader with 15 goals and 44 points.

Diadora Challenge

In 2006-07, the Missouri Valley Conference celebrates a cen-tury of excellence as the nation's second-oldest NCAA DivisionI conference begins its second centennial as a leader in collegeathletics.

In the league's first 100 seasons, 32 members combined for25 national championships, while 55 Valley student-athletescaptured NCAA individual titles. In addition, Valley student-ath-letes and coaches earned 48 National Player or Coach of theYear honors in their respective sports. And the league had amyriad of student-athletes who collected All-America honorsand earned national academic distinction in The Valley's firstcentury.

The Missouri Valley Conference continues to lead by exam-ple as one of college athletics' most progressive conferences.The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athleteand is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for itsmember institutions.

While the success of men's basketball has received thegreatest attention, the overall performance of league teams invirtually every sport continues to raise the national profile of theconference.

The 2005-06 men's basketball season was truly one of themost memorable in the first century of competition in theMissouri Valley Conference. A record six teams competed inpost-season play and combined for seven post-season wins.Bradley and regular-season champion Wichita State represent-ed the league in the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament, mark-ing the first time that two Valley teams had reached the Sweet16 in the same season. Tournament champion Southern Illinoisand UNI also represented The Valley in the NCAA Tournament,giving the league four teams in the Big Dance for the first timein conference history. The league finished sixth in the finalRatings Percentage Index (RPI) - an all-time best. Attendancemarks were set as more than 1.2 million fans attended homegames in league cities while the State Farm MVC Men'sBasketball Championship established an all-time attendancemark for the four-day event. And for the first time in history, CBSSports carried The Valley title game to a national audience.

The success of The Valley television package is one of thegreat stories in the league, in terms of the clearance of themen's basketball tournament title game on national broadcasttelevision, the excellent national and regional coverage for bas-ketball and other sports, and the effective sale of advertisingcontent to a more than 25 companies. The MVC TelevisionNetwork has blossomed into a revenue-generating vehicle andThe Valley's most visible marketing tool.

During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley's ninth andlongest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressivein hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. That role came to a spec-tacular climax in April 2005 as the conference collaborated withlocal partners to stage the Men's Final Four at the EdwardJones Dome.

This continuing involvement of the MVC in hosting NCAAevents represents one of the most concentrated stretches ofhost opportunities for any university or conference in the 68-year history of the national championship tournament. The2005 host opportunity was the sixth in eight years for The Valleyin St. Louis. The league had previously hosted men's regionalsin 1998, 1999 and 2004; a men's first/second round event in2002 and the Women's Final Four in 2001. The Valley will hosta men's basketball regional in 2007 and a Women's Final Fourin 2009. Additionally, Creighton and The Valley will co-host amen's basketball first and second round in 2008 in Omaha.

And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progres-sive in pursuing NCAA events, it has continued to be a nationalleader in the athletic arena. The oldest Division I athletic confer-ence west of the Mississippi River, The Valley has had numer-ous successes in its storied history, which includes a myriad ofaccomplishments since the turn of the century.

The 2000-01 basketball season was highlighted by aWomen's Final Four appearance by Missouri State, while in2001-02, the league produced four Sweet 16 teams, includingSouthern Illinois (men's basketball), UNI (volleyball), SouthernMethodist (men's soccer), and Drake (women's basketball). ACollege World Series appearance by the MSU baseball teamhighlighted the 2002-03 season. In 2003-04, Southern Illinois'men's basketball team was one win shy of a perfect 18-0 con-ference season, losing at UNI on the final day of the regular sea-son. And the 2004-05 campaign had three NCAA Tournamentparticipants in men's basketball, men's soccer, and softball.

The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administra-tors representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotelin Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools whichformed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Associationwere Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universi-ties of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months afterthe initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University andIowa State College -- were admitted.

Athletic accomplishments on the men's athletics side include10 national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAAFinal Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19College World Series qualifiers. In 2001, Missouri State addedto The Valley women's accomplishments, as the Lady Bearsadvanced to the Women's Basketball Final Four in St. Louis.Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimednational championships (WNIT) in women's basketball, whileMSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women's Final Four appearance,and Creighton (2003) and Drake (1999) have made semifinaltrips to the WNIT postseason tournament.

And while the inclusion of women's sports under a compre-hensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in theleague's storied history, over the years, Valley student-athletesand coaches have become household names during theleague's illustrious history, both during their collegiate careersand, for some, professional careers.

In fact, The Valley began honoring that tradition in the sum-mer of 1997, when the conference began its athletics Hall ofFame. Hersey Hawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State,Wes Unseld of Louisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State,Dave Stallworth of Wichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis,and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati were members of the initialinduction class. Currently, more than 30 former players, coach-es and alums dot the league's Hall of Fame.

Men's basketball, perhaps, has the league's most storied tra-dition with the likes of Hall of Famers Bird and Robertson, butThe Valley has also produced national-caliber student-athletesin its other sponsored sports. In 2001, Missouri State's JackieStiles became the first Valley woman to earn the Honda-Broderick Cup, given to the nation's top female collegiate stu-dent-athlete. In the sport of track and field, Indiana State's HolliHyche captured seven national sprint titles in the early 1990s,and Southern Illinois' Darrin Plab won back-to-back NCAA out-door high jump titles in 1991 and 1992. In the fall of 1997,Creighton's Johnny Torres was named the collegiate male soc-cer player of the year for a second-straight year, while SMU'sLuchi Gonzalez (2001) and Tulsa's Ryan Pore (2004) have alsoearned a National Player of the Year honor in men's soccer.Meanwhile league member Wichita State has produced threenational collegiate players of the year in baseball, including JoeCarter (1981), Phil Stephenson (1982) and Darren Dreifort(1993).

League members include Bradley University, CreightonUniversity, Drake University, the University of Evansville, IllinoisState University, Indiana State University, Missouri StateUniversity, the University of Northern Iowa, Southern IllinoisUniversity, and Wichita State University. Affiliate men's soccermembers include Eastern Illinois University and WesternKentucky University.

“Billy Bluejay” is the official mascot of the CreightonUniversity athletics department. The Bluejays were origi-nally depicted by a “birdwatcher’s bluejay,” but that waschanged in 1941 when Joseph P. Murphy, a Creightonalumnus, designed the current version of Billy, one with amore human stance and expression.

Prior to 1924, Creighton teams were referred to as the“Hilltoppers,” but that name lost favor because at least sixother teams in the country also used the same nickname.The Omaha Bee assisted the University’s Athletic Boardand Alumni Association in finding a new nickname by ask-ing readers to submit possibilities. After reviewing 200entries, the Athletic Board decided upon “Bluejays”because of the school’s colors, blue and white.

Today, Creighton remains the only NCAA Division I ath-letics program known officially as the Bluejays.

Student-athletes’ demand for academic supporthas increased dramatically as they attempt to bal-ance a full academic load with athletics. Therecruitment, retention and graduation of student-athletes is vital to the success of collegiate athlet-ics.

Creighton University’s Student-Athlete SupportCenter was a major renovation of existing space inthe Creighton Gymnasium, with the goal of enlarg-ing and improving locker rooms and support facili-ties. In addition to new locker rooms, the 13,000-square-foot Support Center includes The ParkerFamily Foundation Academic Learning Center, staffoffices, an expanded athletic medicine area andadditional athletics storage space.

The Parker Family Foundation AcademicLearning Center includes staff offices, 20 computerstations, study tables, sound-proof carrels for tutor-ing and partitions to divide the area into sections forquiet, individual or group study.

The Blue and White Fund was established byformer Creighton student-athletes, alumni andfriends to support this $1.7 million renovation proj-ect, which was completed in the fall of 1998.

Bruce Rasmussen enters his 13th year as direc-tor of athletics, and 27th overall at CreightonUniversity. During his tenure, Creighton has risen toprominence with its success on-and-off the field,impressive new facilities and record-breakingfundraising efforts.

The men’s soccer team is one of a handful ofschools to appear in each of the last 14 NCAATournaments, while the men’s basketball team is justthe second team in the 100-year history of theMissouri Valley Conference to reach the postseasonin nine straight campaigns. Combined, Creighton isthe only school in the country that can claim nine con-

secutive postseason appearances in men’s soccer and men’s basketball.The CU softball team has made three NCAA Tournament appearances in the

last four years, while the baseball team won its first regular-season league title in2005 and has spent time in the national rankings in each of the past two seasons.

Four Creighton teams moved to new facilities in 2003-04. The men’s basket-ball team moved to the riverfront to play in the brand new, $291 million, QwestCenter OMAHA™. Last winter, the Jays averaged an MVC-record 13,901 fans pergame and ranked 20th nationally in attendance. Additionally, the Creighton volley-ball team found a new home at the venerable Omaha Civic Auditorium in 2003.

The Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium opened as one of the premier soccervenues in the country. Located on the east edge of the Creighton campus, the com-plex includes 6,000 seats and will serve as the home for the 2006 State FarmMissouri Valley Conference Women’s Soccer Tournament this fall.

Rasmussen also has continued to make outstanding hires at every opportu-nity. Most recently, Kirsten Bernthal Booth has helped the volleyball team improveby 15 wins in her first two seasons, while Ed Servais earned MVC Coach of the Yearhonors in each of his first two years. Another recent hire, women’s basketball’s JimFlanery, matched the league record with 48 wins in his first two seasons. He led hisfirst three teams to the postseason. CU’s 2004 women’s basketball team won theschool’s first postseason national title of any kind when they won the WNIT.

Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association ofCollegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSportsTURF Systems AD of the Year Award.

In terms of academics, Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top aca-demic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have hadin the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’sbaseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’scross country, women’s soccer and men’s and women’s tennis teams all havereceived national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes con-sistently own GPA’s of 3.25 or above.

Creighton’s primary annual fund-raising events are the Bluejay Bash, theBluejay Golf Marathon and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s supervision,each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athlet-ics. Most notably, the 2005 Jamboree generated more than $293,000 through itsgourmet dinner, raffle and auction. The successful fund-raising efforts have allowedCreighton to enhance its soccer, baseball and softball facilities under Rasmussen’sleadership. In 1998, the $1.7 million Student-Athlete Support Center renovationproject was completed in the Old Gymnasium, resulting in seven new team lockerrooms, an expanded athletic training facility, new offices and storage space and anacademic learning center. The centerpiece of the project is The Parker FamilyFoundation Academic Learning Center, which houses the athletic department’s aca-demic support team and features 20 computer stations and private study areas.

Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a12-year run as the winningest coach in Creighton women’s basketball history (196-147), culminating in the program’s historic 1991-92 season.

The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen ledthe 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victo-ry in the program’s first-ever trip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, goodfor a .571 winning percentage.

After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94,Rasmussen was named athletics director on Aug. 1, 1994.

A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five chil-dren: Megan (21), David (19), John (15), Katy (11) and Grace (8).
