🔼 Home Cookin’. With a brand new court on display for the first time, the Butler Volleyball thrilled the home crowd with a dominant performance in its first home outing of the 2026 season.
The ‘Dawgs opened play at the Indy Invitational by sweeping their way past Youngstown State, 3-0, on Thursday night to improve to 3-1 on the season.
Elise Ward led the way offensively with 12 kills on the night, while Carly Slusser sparked a third set comeback with five of her nine kills coming in the final set of the night.
🔼 Friday Night Lights. The Butler men’s soccer squad is back at home for the fourth time this year with some Friday Night Lights action.
With the match being pushed back to 7 pm due to the forecasted heat, the ‘Dawgs welcome Lindenwood to town for a non-conference matchup.
🔼 Battling The Bobcats. After a thrilling victory in the home opener for the Butler Football program, a tall task awaits the ‘Dawgs as they travel west to take on top-ranked Montana State on Saturday.
With Butler rolling into town, the Bobcats are coming off a national championship last season and are set to open up their home slate in front of a sold-out stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET.
🔼 Join The Party. The inaugural Butler All Access—a block party for all Bulldog fans—is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 14 at the Sellick Bowl on the Butler campus.
The FREE event is slated for 5-7 p.m., welcoming members of the Butler and surrounding communities to campus to kick off Homecoming Week on campus.
Butler All Access is designed around interactive, team-hosted activities for fans of all ages. Bulldog student-athletes will be heavily involved in the activities.
