Northern Illinois travels to the Bud and Jackie Sellick Bowl to face Butler in a men's soccer matchup that gives both sides a chance to make a statement on their home turf and on the road, respectively.
The Sellick Bowl has long been one of the more intimate, atmospheric venues in the college game — the kind of place where a Tuesday night can feel like a tournament night if the energy is right. Butler will look to feed off that home-field edge, while Northern Illinois arrives with the opportunity to silence the crowd and steal a result away from home.
Every match this time of year carries weight, and this one is no different. Two teams, ninety minutes, and a chance to build something. That's reason enough to tune in.
