Going into last season, everything was looking up for the Butler men’s soccer team. The Bulldogs were the defending Big East regular season champs, and had the ninth-ranked freshman recruiting class in the country. The team was ranked ninth in the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll and picked to finish second in the Big East.
All that preseason hype never amounted to anything. The team finished 4-12-2 overall with a 2-7 mark in conference play.
Head coach Paul Snape was disappointed in last year’s outcome.
