CINCINNATI – Xavier men's soccer finished with a flourish on Wednesday, getting a hat trick from Samson Sergi and a brace from Felix Boe-Tangen in a 5-3 win over rival Butler at XU Soccer Complex.
The victory locked up the No. 5 seed in the upcoming BIG EAST Championships for the Musketeers, who will travel to face No. 4 Marquette in a playoff match on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. XU has never finished below fifth or missed the league's playoff since joining the BIG EAST in 2013.
Sergi scored twice in the first half and added another after the break for his first career hat trick, while Felix Boe-Tangen broke through late for his first career goals to help put the match away.
