The third week of the Division I season had some teams enter conference play while other programs were still enjoying the pre-conference tournaments. The disjointed schedule left some players with extra opportunities to impress with more games on the schedule for this weekend. 

Butler senior forward David Goldsmith was one of the players who took full advantage of the chance to shine in a tournament. Goldsmith recorded four goals in two games and kept Butler rolling through the third week of the season.
