📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Coming To You Live. DuJuan McCoy, Owner, President, and CEO of Circle City Broadcasting, parent company of WISH-TV, WRTV-ABC, MyINDY-TV 23 and Circulus Digital Media, announced that WISH-TV will exclusively broadcast two Butler University men's basketball games this October, including Indiana University's (IU) first game at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in 33 years.

The games will air exclusively on the WISH-TV ecosystem in the Indianapolis TV Market:

  • Sunday, Oct. 11: Indiana University vs. Butler, 6:30 p.m.

  • Sunday, Oct. 18: Indiana State vs. Butler, 6:30 p.m.

Both games will also stream live for free on WISHTV.com, allowing fans to watch from anywhere in the world.

🔼 Title Tuesday. Addi Kooi's medalist and program-record performance helped lead the Bulldogs to team and individual titles at the NKU Fall Invitational. Butler claimed the team title by 22 strokes over IU Indy.

Kooi finished the tournament with her first individual collegiate win and broke the program's 54-hole record relative to par, firing off a 208 (-5) across her three rounds. Kooi recorded 10 birdies over the tournament and finished her final round with 16 pars, one bogey and one birdie for an even-par 71.

Freshman Rachel Johnson finished fourth individually, earning the first top-five finish of her collegiate career. Her final round was an even-par 71, giving her a tournament total of 217 (+4).

🔼 Hittin’ The Road. Unbeaten in its last five matches, Butler women’s soccer hits the road for a two-match BIG EAST swing beginning tonight at Seton Hall.

Over the past five outings, the 'Dawgs have outscored their opponents 17-3.

Tonight’s task will include a battle with the Pirates who are unbeaten this season at 4-0-3. Kickoff in New Jersey is set for 6 p.m. ET.

🔼 Roll Call. A heroic last second goal landed junior women’s soccer standout Gemma Gillespie a spot on this week’s BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll.

Gillespie scored the game-tying goal on a diving header with just nine seconds remaining in Butler’s 1-1 draw with Marquette.

🤔 BUTLER TRIVIA

As we mentioned, Addi Kooi set a new program record for a 54-hole score relative to par with a 5-under scorecard.

The previous record was three-under, which was held by which two former Bulldogs?
