The No. 23 ranked Notre Dame soccer team tied No. 19 ranked Creighton 1-1 in a double overtime thriller Sunday in their second game at the Diadora Challenge Sunday.

Rafael Garcia put the Irish in front at the 7:12 mark by scoring off an assist from Justin Detter. The Blue Jays tied the game by Damien Westfield in the 55th minute.

The tie, accompanied by Notre Dame's 3-2 win Saturday against Southwest Missouri State, gave the Irish the tournament trophy.

Both Creighton and Notre Dame had 1-0-1 records, however the Irish won the tie-breaker, most goals scored 4-2 over the Blue Jays.

The Irish also placed four players on the All-Tournament Team and had the tournament MVP in forward Erich Baun.

In their first game of the season, Baun scored two goals to give the Irish the brief lead and eventual win. Baun connected on Notre Dame's first goal just 17 seconds into the game off assists from Rafael Garcia and Kevin Goldthwaite. Baun scored the game-winning goal off a penalty-kick in the 68th minute as Notre Dame goalkeeper Chris Sawyer shut out Southwest Missouri State the rest of the game.

Both Southwest Missouri State's goals came from Kai Harris, who tied the game in the ninth minute from an assist by Jed Holhbein and then again in the 60th minute.

With the win, Notre Dame improved its streak of season-opening wins to eight and improved to 17-7-2 in season openers overall.
