Butler men's soccer forward Palmer Ault has been selected as the Offensive Player of the Week and the Freshman of the Week by the BIG EAST Conference for his performances in the Bulldogs' 9-0 victory over Lindenwood as well as the 4-1 victory over UConn.

Leading Butler's high-octane attack last week, Ault and the Bulldogs went a perfect 2-0-0 and outscored the competition 13-1. Individually, Ault tallied a brace in both outings and added a pair of assists to cap the week with 10 points. In a midweek non-conference match against Lindenwood, Ault scored the opening two goals of the match and assisted on the next two giving Butler a commanding 4-0 advantage in an eventual 9-0 triumph. On Saturday, Ault scored the first and third goals of the contest in a 4-1 win over UConn. The native of Noblesville, Ind., now has 14 points on six goals and two assists in eight matches, sitting in a tie for first on the BIG EAST leaderboard with Creighton's Duncan McGuire for goals scored and points accumulated.

The Bulldogs return to action Friday evening, traveling to Marquette for a 7PM kickoff.
