NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State soccer fell 5-1 to Butler at the Bud and Jackie Sellick Bowl on Thursday afternoon.
In the opening minutes of the game, Redshirt Madi Valenti denied a Butler goal-scoring opportunity with a diving save in the sixth minute. Less than two minutes later, Freshman Rylann Law pressed and found the ball on the edge of the box and scored. However, the goal was overturned due to offside to keep the contest even at 0-0.
The Bulldogs would find a goal later in the 16th minute to take a 1-0 lead.
