The Butler University men’s soccer team defeated Villanova University at home in the Big East tournament semi-final match with a thrilling 1-0 double overtime victory on Nov. 10.

Head coach Paul Snape had no doubt that this was a difficult game for his team.

“This was one of the toughest games of the season,” he said. “We knew they were a good team, but they took their game to another level. It took everything in our boys’ energy and focus to respond to them.
