🔼 Hosting The Hoyas. For the first time in 2026, the Butler women’s hoops team will hit the court at Hinkle when the Hoyas of Georgetown roll into town for a midweek matchup.

The Bulldogs have won five of their past six home contests and hold a 13-12 advantage in the head-to-head series with the Hoyas.

Tip time is set for 7 p.m.

🔼 First Pitch Is Coming. Get ready Bulldog fans, we are just 30 days away from the return of Butler softball!

Coming off a season in which they posted the most wins since 2022, the Bulldogs are looking to build upon last year.

The season opening weekend is set for Cedar Falls, Iowa where Butler will battle Omaha, Kansas City, Northern Iowa and Iowa State.

🔼 Welcome To The Family. The calendar may have just turned into 2026, but the Butler volleyball program is already gearing up for the fall season.

This week, Head Coach Kyle Shondell and the Bulldogs announced the signings of two transfers for the upcoming 2026 campaign.

Ava Hunter from Loyola of Chicago and Raegan Durbin from Middle Tennessee will return home to Indiana and will join BU for the 2026 campaign.
