Butler Women's Soccer has once again assembled a challenging slate for the upcoming 2025 season. The schedule features eleven home matches which will be played at the Sellick Bowl and Varsity Field.
 
Butler will play ten consecutive non-conference matches to start the season, beginning with three exhibition contests. All three preseason opponents – Louisville (Aug. 3), Chicago State (Aug. 6), and Northern Kentucky (Aug. 9) – will visit the Sellick Bowl.
 
The regular-season opener will take place on August 14, on the road, at Central Michigan. Additional away matches will see the Bulldogs travel to Purdue, Northwestern, and Ball State.
 
Illinois State will visit the Sellick Bowl for the regular-season home opener on Thursday, August 21. Butler will also host IU Indy (Sept. 11) and Drake (Sept. 14) to complete the non-conference portion of the schedule.
 
The final 10 games of Butler's regular season are comprised of BIG EAST contests. This season, conference competition will shift to a Wednesday/Saturday format, compared to the Thursday/Sunday format in previous seasons. The Bulldogs will travel to Marquette on September 20^th to begin BIG EAST play. Additional road matches are Georgetown, Xavier, St. John's, and Villanova.
 
DePaul will be in Indianapolis on Wednesday, September 24, for Butler's first conference match at home. Additional home dates are Providence (Sept. 27), UConn (Oct. 15), Seton Hall (Oct. 18), and Creighton (Oct. 25).
 
The 2025 BIG EAST Tournament begins a few days after the final road match at Villanova, as the top four teams in the league standings will be 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 2025 Dawgs will look to continue an incredible run of success and consistency as part of the highly competitive BIG EAST Conference. In seven of the previous eight 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 .669 winning percentage in BIG EAST play, compiling a conference record of 40-15-19.
 
Since joining the BIG EAST in 2013, the Dawgs have qualified for postseason play 11 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.
 
The entire Butler home women's soccer schedule is included in the 2025 Butler Fall Sports Pass, which is available for purchase and also includes Butler's home men's soccer and volleyball schedules. For more ticket information, please contact our ticketing office at tickets@butler.edu.
