THE SHORT STORY: Lipscomb was unable to overcome an early 2-0 deficit on a rainy night at Butler as the Bisons suffered their first loss of the season.

QUICK FACTS:

Butler took an early 2-0 lead with goals in the 14' and 23' minutes.
Lipscomb got back in the match with a goal by Hayes Wood in the 30' minute.
The Bulldogs scored again in the 79' minute for a 3-1 lead.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Butler was on the attack early and controlled much of the possession and pace to take the early 2-0 lead.
After Lipscomb settled in and started dictating more possession, Wood changed the momentum when he forced a turnover in the Bisons' attaching third and calmly finished a right-footed shot past the keeper to cut the Bulldogs' lead 2-1.

The Bisons came out on the attack in the second half, earning a pair of corners in the 58' minute. Noah Gulden put great service in the box, but the shots were saved to keep Lipscomb from equalizing.
Michael Sibley was solid between the pipes making several key saves. In the 61' minute, he made a key save when he skied and tipped a shot just above the crossbar to keep the Bisons in striking distance.
