"First-year head coach Joe Sochacki took the Butler Bulldogs to their fourth conference championship and fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in his rookie season as the head coach at Butler. The Bulldogs won the Horizon League Tournament Championship defeating a good Illinois-Chicago team 3-0 in the semifinals and upsetting top seeded UW-Milwaukee 2-0 in the Championship game. The Bulldogs were subsequently defeated by Michigan State 2-1 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Regardless, it was a very solid first year for Sochacki and a year that will be remembered for establishing a good foundation for the Butler program. Juniors Nick Pantazi and Michael Mariscalco had very productive seasons and will return for Butler in 2002. The Bulldogs ended the year with an overall record of 11-9-0."
