The Butler men's tennis team fell just short at the BIG EAST Tournament after falling in Sunday's final to St. John's 4-0. The Bulldog's made an impressive run, defeating last year's champs in DePaul and top seeded Creighton on their way to the title match. 
 
St. John's claimed the doubles point after taking the top two courts. Patrick Joss and Rahulniket Konakanchi held a 4-3 lead before the match went unfinished. 
 
The Red Storm clinched the match by taking three singles matches at the No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5. Alvaro Huete Vadillo and Konakanchi each held a slim advantage over their opponents before going unfinished.  
 
The result means Butler concludes the season with a 15-10 overall record.
