The final 30 minutes of the match were filled with numerous chances for both teams, but neither side managed to find the back of the net before the final whistle. In the dying seconds of the game, Creighton had a golden opportunity to snatch a victory. St. John’s players seemed to have momentarily lost focus, allowing Creighton to quickly throw the ball in and advance it within 19 yards of the goal. However, Jackson Castro mishit the ball, narrowly missing the second post as the buzzer sounded. If his shot had been on target, it would have counted as a goal and secured a victory for Creighton.
