Foreign athletes find second home at Creighton
Creighton student-athletes, Jacob Epperson, Armando Gandini and Paul Kruse may not share a lot in common, including the sports they play, but they do all relate in the fact that they left their home countries in order to seek the opportunities that Creighton athletics has to offer.
Epperson, a center for the men’s basketball squad, is from Melbourne, Australia. Armando Gandini was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and plays for the Bluejays’ men’s tennis team. Paul Kruse, goalkeeper for the men’s soccer team, has made his trek to Creighton all the way from Heilbronn, Germany.
