2024 WSOC Schedule

Women's Soccer Releases 2024 Schedule Featuring Matches with Five NCAA Tournament Teams

| By:
Butler Women's Soccer has once again assembled a challenging slate for the upcoming 2024 season. The schedule features 10 home matches at the Sellick Bowl and includes five opponents who also appeared in last season's NCAA Tournament field.
 
Butler will play nine consecutive non-conference matches to start the season, five of which will be in the Sellick Bowl. After a home exhibition contest with Northern Kentucky (Aug. 10), 2023 NCAA tournament qualifier Ohio will travel to Butler for the regular-season opener on Thursday, August 15. Three days later, the Purdue Boilermakers will visit the Bulldogs for a Sunday evening match. Additional home contests include Ball State (Aug. 29) along with another 2023 NCAA tournament qualifier, Notre Dame (Sept. 1). Butler's non-conference road games include Drake (Aug. 25), Cincinnati (Sept. 5), and Illinois State (Sept. 15). While technically an away match, the Bulldogs will play IUPUI on September 8 at Michael A. Carroll Stadium in downtown Indianapolis.
 
The final 10 games of Butler's regular season are comprised of BIG EAST contests. Conference play begins on September 22 when Butler hosts Marquette. Addition home matches are Georgetown (Oct. 3), Xavier (Oct. 6), St. John's (Oct. 24), and Villanova (Oct. 31).
 
The Bulldogs' BIG EAST road games will be at DePaul, Providence, UConn, Seton Hall, and Creighton.
 
The 2024 BIG EAST Tournament begins a few days after the Villanova match, as the top six teams in the league standings will fill out the bracket in search of the BIG EAST's automatic entry into the NCAA Tournament.
 
Under the guidance of Co-Head Coaches Tari St. John and Rob Alman, the 2024 Dawgs will look to continue an incredible run of success and consistency as part of the highly competitive BIG EAST Conference. In six of the previous seven seasons, Butler has finished in one of the top-three spots in the conference standings, a stretch that includes two runner-up finishes along with a Midwest Division crown in 2020. Over that same time span, the Dawgs have produced a stellar .672 winning percentage in BIG EAST play, compiling a conference record of 35-13-16.
 
Since joining the BIG EAST in 2013, the Dawgs have qualified for postseason play ten times. Butler has made three appearances in the BIG EAST Tournament Championship Match while advancing to the semi-final match in 2021. The program's historic 2015 Conference Tournament Championship was the first BIG EAST Championship win for any sport at Butler. The Bulldogs have also played in three NCAA Tournaments, after first appearing in 2015.
 
On the field in 2024, Co-head coaches Tari St. John and Rob Alman will utilize an experienced and talented roster. Returning student-athletes who have previously received All-BIG EAST postseason honors are fifth-year Abigail Isger, juniors Talia Sommer and Amelie Darey, and sophomore Norah Jacomen. An additional cache of returning veterans will be joined by key transfers and a highly-touted freshman class to round out the season's roster.
