The Bulldogs made the long trip West for a Friday night match-up with Utah, as the teams battled for 110 minutes and played to a 0-0 draw.
 
The contest marked the final non-conference match for Butler, which will enter the BIG EAST portion of the schedule with a mark of 5-3-1. Following the double-overtime tie, Utah is now 4-3-1 on the season.
 
QUOTABLE:
 
"I think ultimately a tie was a fair result. One great save by either keeper, a couple of chances for each team and a really competitive, high-quality game from start to finish. This was a challenging road trip against a very good opponent and we played some incisive attacking soccer and secured a good clean sheet as well. Now we get to regroup and prepare for the start of conference play next weekend, which we're excited about." – Butler Co-Head Coach Rob Alman
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
The teams combined for 30 shots in the contest, including 13 on frame, but neither team was able to find the net through 110 minutes of play.
 
OF NOTE:
 

• Keeper Stephanie Rodriguez made five saves for the Bulldogs in posting her third shutout of the season.
• In addition to the 30 shots, the teams also combined for 23 corners.
• Katie Soderstrom led the Bulldogs with four shots in the match.
