Butler posted an impressive 7-0 decision over Marian Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis. The home match for the Bulldogs included a doubles point sweet and three straight-set singles wins.

Freshmen Emily Neal and Lauren Marx held down the top two singles spots. Neal won in straight sets, while Marx was one of three Bulldogs who needed a third-set match tiebreaker.

Jordan Minnick and Caroline McAuley won in straight sets at the No. 4 and No. 6 singles positions, respectively, while Nina Bertino (No. 3) and freshman Natale Corrigan (No. 5) joined Marx in utilizing the third-set match tiebreaker.

All six players combined on lopsided doubles wins to take the doubles point and start the match, 1-0.
