The Butler University women’s soccer team did not have much to celebrate after Nov. 12. The Bulldogs were just eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by Northwestern University in penalty kicks 3-2 after playing 110 minutes of scoreless soccer.
The loss marked the second time in three years that they lost to a Big Ten school in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
“It’s unfortunate with the NCAA Tournament,” Paige Monaghan, the junior forward and Big East offensive player of the year said.
