No. 4 Seed @ButlerMSoccer Advances After Shutout of No. 5 Seed Providence

INDIANAPOLIS - The Butler men's soccer team advanced to the semifinal round of the BIG EAST Tournament with a 3-0 shutout win over Providence. The No. 4 seed Bulldogs (10-5-3) scored twice in the first half and added the final goal midway through the second period. The No. 5 seed Friars (5-5-7) produced 12 shots, four on frame, but were unable to adequately solve the defensive play of Butler's back line and its goalkeeper, Gabriel Gjergji.
 
With the win, Butler advances to the semifinal round and will face No. 1 seed (No. 24) Georgetown on Thursday, Nov. 10, in Boyds, Md. The Hoyas defeated the Bulldogs, 3-2, in a regular-season match in Indianapolis on Oct. 5.
 
Key Moments
  • 13' | Jack Streberger takes a pass from Tommy Visser and carries toward the top of the penalty area. As defenders close in, he touches a shot pass to Palmer Ault. Ault takes a touch and turns, slotting the ball into the left side of the net for an early, 1-0, lead.
  • 25' | As a Providence defender drops a ball back to his keeper, DJ Hooks intercepts the pass and one-times a shot into the net, putting the Bulldogs up, 2-0.
    ---HALFTIME---
  • 68' | Wilmer Cabrera, Jr. takes a pass at midfield. He carries and then splits two defenders with a pass to a streaking Streberger on the left side. Streberger finds space 8 yards beyond the defensive line but passes on taking a shot, instead connecting with Ault in front of the goal. Ault easily redirects the ball into the net for Butler's third goal.
