ALL-TIME VERSUS CREIGHTON
Air Force has faced Creighton just three times, first meeting in 1997 in a 2-1 Falcon loss. The Falcons have won the last two meetings, including a 3-0 shutout in the most recent matchup in 2018.
LAST TIME OUT
Air Force women's soccer opened the 2026 season with a 4-1 victory over service academy rival Army on Thursday, Aug. 13, at Cadet Soccer Stadium. The Falcons recorded eight shots on goal, led by sophomore Maddy Walsh's first two collegiate goals.
"What a gritty performance from our team tonight," said head coach Laura Busby. "I am so proud of their ability to stay focused and accomplish the mission, despite the conditions."
Walsh opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and added her second goal in the 59th minute, finishing the night with a career-high six shots. Annika Jost and Jordan Dillingham also found the net as Air Force scored three second-half goals to pull away.
Army answered Walsh's first goal with an equalizer before halftime, but Jost quickly restored the Falcon lead in the 47th minute with a free-kick goal. Dillingham extended the advantage to 3-1 in the 54th minute with a header off a corner kick before Walsh capped the scoring five minutes later.
Trishelle Lopez made two saves on three Army shots on goal to secure the victory.
The season opener also featured an unexpected twist, as lightning forced the match to move indoors to the Holaday Athletic Center at 58:50.
WAY TO GO WALSH
Junior Maddy Walsh played an exceptional match and a critical role in the 4-1 victory over Army. She was active in the attacking third, logging her first career goals for a brace and taking a career-high six shots.
ON THE ATTACK
Air Force entered the season ready to score some goals, already recording 20 shots in just one match, and eight on goal. Walsh led with six shots and was followed by four attempts from Annika Jost, two from Jordan Dillingham, Addie Doyle, and Clara Teigland, along with one apiece by Sammi Kinoshita, Mai Mateaki, Kendall Rippley, and Ashley Yenawine.
A LOOK AT THE BLUEJAYS
Creighton has just one loss on their record for the 2026 season (0-1) after falling 3-1 against Colorado College on Wednesday August 12. The Bluejays did not score until the 80th minute courtesy of senior Olivia Duray, and could not complete a comeback against the Tigers. Last season, Creighton held a 7-8-4 mark and 4-3-3 in conference play.
