INDIANAPOLIS – DePaul men's soccer continues its season-ending road swing Saturday, Oct. 31, with a trip to Indianapolis to take on Butler. Kickoff at the Sellick Bowl is set for 6 p.m. CT with streaming on ESPN+.
Demon Doings
DePaul (5-4-5, 2-2-2 BIG EAST) comes in after a 3-1 comeback win at Seton Hall on Tuesday. It was the Pirates' first home loss of the season and DePaul's first win in South Orange since 2015. The Blue Demons are 2-0 in BIG EAST road matches this season, with wins at UConn and Seton Hall.
Seton Hall went ahead on a 14th-minute penalty kick. DePaul then scored three unanswered goals. Keagan Pace equalized in the 26th minute off a Liam Mullins assist, and Tyler Flowers put the Blue Demons ahead four minutes later. Mullins added an insurance goal in the 59th minute, assisted by Flowers and Jordan Clagette. DePaul scored on all three of its shots on goal.
Chance Johnson made three saves, including a stop on a Seton Hall penalty kick in the 71st minute. Johnson ranks second in the BIG EAST and 45th nationally with 4.08 saves per game. In conference play, he has a .763 save percentage and a 1.50 goals-against average.
DePaul's 36 assists are the program's most in a season since at least 2000. They rank 18th in the country and third in the BIG EAST. The Blue Demons are 14th nationally and third in the conference at 2.57 assists per game. They're also 28th in the nation with 15.1 shots per game. Ten players have scored a goal this season, and 16 have recorded an assist.
Senior Noeh Hernandez leads DePaul with six goals, seven assists and 19 points. He ranks third in the BIG EAST in three categories: assists per game (0.50, 24th nationally), shots per game (3.14, 24th nationally) and game-winning goals (3, 21st nationally). Hernandez has been named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll four times this fall. His 62 career points rank sixth in program history, two behind fifth place.
Luca Iaccino is second on the team with 10 points on four goals and two assists. Pace also has four goals, and Mason Kutch has three. Daniel Hickiewicz has five assists, and Quinn Bedwell has four.
Scouting Butler
Butler (1-8-3, 1-2-2 BIG EAST) is in its first season under head coach Ian Sarachan. The Bulldogs lost 5-1 at No. 8 Creighton last Saturday, with Kiel Higginson scoring Butler's goal in the 61st minute. Butler's lone win came Oct. 16, a 2-1 home victory over Villanova in which Finn Moran scored both goals.
Series History
Butler leads the all-time series 9-3-6. DePaul is 2-5-2 in Indianapolis but unbeaten in its last two visits: a 1-1 draw in 2022 and a 5-3 win in the 2024 regular-season finale. In that match DePaul led by as many as five goals. The teams last met Oct. 3, 2025, when Butler won 4-0 at Wish Field.
Up Next
DePaul closes the regular season Friday, Nov. 6, at No. 8 Creighton. Kickoff in Omaha is set for 7 p.m. CT.
