A determined coach, talented roster and past success make this year’s Butler Bulldogs men’s soccer team a tough opponent for any team in the country. With play moved to the spring, Butler began their season falling to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, 2-1, in double overtime.
Head coach Paul Snape is entering his tenth season with the program. Snape has led the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four seasons.
