The Bluejays started out slow but gained momentum as the game progressed, with the first opportunity at goal not coming until the 15th minute off a headed corner from senior defender Mitch LaGro, which slipped past the goalkeeper but was saved by a defender on the line. Creighton would try for goal eight more times in the half, including two more efforts on target, but couldn’t find the net. Grand Canyon recorded six shots in the first half with one on goal, but freshman goalkeeper Paul Kruse calmly deflected it over the bar to keep the score knotted at 0-0 going into halftime.
