Butler University athletic activities

Overview

Butler University is engaged in various athletic competitions and preseason preparations across multiple sports.

In men’s and women’s soccer, the Bulldogs are scheduled for matchups against Creighton and Villanova, respectively. The men’s team follows a 2-1 victory over Villanova, where Finn Moran was named both BIG EAST Offensive Player and Freshman of the Week. The women’s team, holding a 6-4-4 record, is set to host Villanova at the Sellick Bowl. In football, the Bulldogs hold a 5-2 record and are scheduled to travel to Des Moines to compete against the Drake Bulldogs following a 19-9 loss to Dayton.

In basketball, the men’s team, led by coach Ronald Nored, opened its regular season with a victory against Lafayette at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Following the win, the team is scheduled to host the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights on Nov. 4. During preseason preparations, Nored noted that while the offense remains a work in progress, the team showed improvement in creating opportunities, including taking 19 more shots than Ohio State in a recent exhibition loss. Addressing college basketball finances, Nored stated that “the only thing money guarantees... is more swings at players,” while expressing confidence in the program’s stability under athletic director Grant Leiendecker.

The women’s team, led by head coach Maria Marchesano, concluded their preseason exhibition schedule with a 114-26 victory over Franklin College. Nevaeh Jackson led the scoring with 17 points, and all 13 players on the roster scored during the contest.
