NEW YORK – Butler forward Finn Moran capped a strong freshman campaign by being selected to the All-BIG EAST second team.
 
All-BIG EAST selections for the 2026 men's soccer season, as chosen by the BIG EAST coaches, were announced by the conference office on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
 
Moran, from Cranford, N.J., led Butler's offense this season with four goals, four assists and 12 points. In a late-season stretch in which the Bulldogs won three of four BIG EAST contests, Moran had three multi-point matches that included a total of four goals and three assists. He was credited with the game-winning goal in all three victories.
 
The Bulldogs finished 3-3-2 in the BIG EAST portion of their schedule, narrowly missing out on the four-team BIG EAST Tournament.
