Omaha, Neb. – Creighton Men's Soccer will host Loyola Chicago (Thursday, August 29 at 7:00 p.m.) and San Francisco (Sunday, September 1 at 6:00 p.m.) in consecutive matches during Labor Day weekend as part of the Jesuit Invitational in Morrison Stadium.

This Jesuit Invitational is a tournament with its roots in 1997 when Loyola-Chicago hosted Fordham, Detroit-Mercy, and Saint Joseph. The event was inspired by Ray O'Connell, the Ramblers' first men's soccer coach (1980-2004), who believed that student-athletes at Jesuit schools are called not just to experience athletic success, yet more importantly to become men and women in service of others.
