🔼 House Protected. The Butler women’s soccer squad picked up its third victory of the season on Thursday night, protecting home turf with a 2-0 shutout win over IU Indy.

Talia Sommer and Sydney Longo both found the back of the net for the ‘Dawgs, while the Butler defense stifled the Jaguars, holding them to just two shots on goal in the contest.

Butler will wrap up non-conference action this weekend when Drake comes to town for a Sunday afternoon showdown.

🔼 Running Man. Now that’s how you start a career!

Lacing it up for the first time on the cross country course, redshirt freshman Brendan Thomas was named the BIG EAST Male Athlete of the Week after a dominant performance at last weekend’s Mike Baumer Cross Country Classic in Ohio.

Thomas won the race with a time of 14:33.3 to pace the ‘Dawgs, who won the team title at the event with five of the first eight finishers.

🎉 PARTY TIME!

Tip-off may be just less than two months away, but the party is about to begin for the Dawgs.
