✍️ And much more!
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Top ‘Dawgs. Butler football used a dominant second half to pick up a 33-21 victory on Saturday afternoon over Drake to improve to 6-2 on the year and 3-1 in PFL action.
It’s the ‘Dawgs first win against Drake since 2015 and the first in Des Moines since 1994.
Gabe Passini (87 yards) and Desmin Jackson (91 yards) led a Butler rushing attack that piled up 244 yards on the ground with each scoring a TD in the contest.
The ‘Dawgs defense racked up two more turnovers and pitched a second half shutout en route to the win.
🔼 Action Jackson. Any worry about Jalen Jackson’s health after the last exhibition was put to rest on Sunday with a dominant performance against Ohio State.
In Butler’s final tune up before next week’s season opener, Jackson led all scorers with 27 points on 11-of-17 shooting, including three 3-pointers, grabbed five rebounds and three assists.
Treyson Anderson added 17 points and five rebounds, while Eduardo Klafke poured in 15 points and four rebounds.
🔼 Called To The Hall. It’s a phone that they won’t ever forget.
Late last week, Butler Athletics unveiled its Class of 2026 which includes seven individuals and two teams.
The Class of 2026 includes the 1998 men's cross country team, the 2010 men's soccer team, John Barron (football), Katie Clark (women's cross country/track & field), Erin (Falkenberry) Stremming (softball), Scott Lidskin (men's cross country/track & field), Paul Newsom (men's swimming), Lynnsey (Showers) Cohn (women's golf), and Jeff Peek (special service award).
This year's Hall of Fame class will be celebrated on campus Saturday, Jan. 16 while also being recognized at the Friday, Jan. 15 men's basketball game against Villanova and the Saturday, Jan. 16 women's basketball tip against Xavier.
🔼 One Week Away. The Maria Marchesano era is just one week away as the Butler women’s hoops squad puts its finishing touches on during practice this week.
This weekend, fans got their first look at this year’s squad when the ‘Dawgs battled Ball State in scrimmage action at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
On Wednesday night, Butler welcome Franklin to Hinkle Fieldhouse for its final tune-up before next week’s season opener.
🔼 The May To Victory. The Butler women's soccer team knocked off one of the nation's three undefeated teams on Saturday night, shutting out Villanova 1-0 in the Sellick Bowl for a huge BIG EAST conference win.
After a scoreless first half, freshman Elise May opened the scoring for the Bulldogs with an unassisted goal in the 70th minute off a goalkeeper's deflection. The one-goal lead held through full time as the Butler defense rose to the occasion.
With only three regular season matches remaining, Butler is tied for the fourth and final spot in next month’s conference tournament.
