With Kerr in his first season and a number of underclassmen seeing large minutes, the Crimson's big question was whether the team could find communication and unity in its offense.

Although the Crimson put together a number of great chances in the game, as Hench and Petruccelli both got great looks at the net, the offense stalled at times, especially in the front third of the field.

In the second half, Creighton continued its pressure on Harvard's back four.

The Bluejays struck again in the 54th minute on a Bustos strike to go ahead, 4-0, and when the Crimson defense committed a foul only 20 yards from its goal line two minutes later, the Jays' fifth strike was in the making.

With a quick flick of his boot, Creighton captain Angel Rivillo hit a bending ball that barely cleared the Crimson wall and found the lower left corner of the Crimson goal, leaving Meagher with little to do but stare out at the Jays' celebration.

"It was a good shot--he put it in the one part of the wall that it could get through, in between two of my defenders' heads," Meagher said. "It was also a bit disappointing because we work on those set plays in practice, but the whole game was good for seeing what we need to work on to get to that level, to beat Creighton in the post-season."

Creighton's final goal, a penalty kick from Bustos in the 87th minute, came against back-up goalie Dan Mejias.
