This month, we have another new University Spotlight, featuring Butler University. It’s a private university where two of our soccer players are active in the men’s soccer team. At Butler University, they can elevate their soccer performance to a higher level while also achieving the highest possible academic success. Joost de Schutter left in the summer of 2022, and Jan Quispel joined the team this past summer.
