@ButlerUWSoccer Moves On in BIG EAST Tournament After Overtime Defeat of UConn

INDIANAPOLIS - The Butler women's soccer team won its quarterfinal match in the BIG EAST Tournament in dramatic fashion, a 1-0 overtime win over visiting UConn. Neither the No. 3 Bulldogs (15-3-1) nor the No. 6 Huskies (9-8-1) could find the back of the net through two regulation periods or one overtime period. In the second overtime, Abigail Isger broke the deadlock with an unassisted golden goal, sending Butler to Cincinnati for a semifinal match with No. 2 Georgetown on Thursday, November 4.
 
Key Moment
