The No. 2 seed Butler women’s soccer team clinched a trip to the Big East Tournament final after knocking off No. 6 seed Providence, 3-2, on Nov. 1. The Bulldogs used a two-goal performance from senior forward Halle Stelbasky to seal the win over the Friars.
The performance from Stelbasky continues her recent scoring tear for the Bulldogs. Over the team’s last five matches, the forward has scored five goals during a stretch that has allowed her to grab the team lead with eight on the season.
