CHICAGO, Ill. – The Butler women's soccer team traveled north to face DePaul, but neither side could find the back of the net through full time. The Bulldogs (6-2-2, 1-0-1 BIG EAST) created more chances in the first half but then had to hold off the surging Blue Demons (2-5-3, 0-1-1 BIG EAST) after the break. Each team had a free kick opportunity from close range in the final minutes, but neither was able to put a shot on goal.
