The Bulldogs concluded a perfect week of Spring Break with their third consecutive victory over a BIG EAST foe as Butler took down Villanova, 7-0, Friday afternoon.
 
Butler opened the week at the USTA National campus in Florida with wins over Seton Hall and Creighton. The Bulldogs are now 6-9 on the season and have won four straight matches. The team is 3-1 in BIG EAST play this spring.
 
Butler took the doubles point Friday over Villanova with a pair of 6-3 wins on courts 1 and 3. That momentum carried over to singles play as the Bulldogs took all six matches in straight sets.
 
The Bulldogs will return to action a week from today, traveling to Miami (Ohio) for a 1 p.m. first serve on Friday, March 17.
