After the Butler women’s basketball team defeated Wagner 74-58 on Nov. 9, head coach Kurt Godlevske raised his eyebrows and flashed a smile.

“Offensively, very, very disappointed,” Godlevske told Butler Sports’ Chelsea Groves in the postgame press conference. “And I say that with a win. I’m happy to be 1 and 0.”

A strong first quarter — winning 27-9 — powered Butler to victory. In total, senior guard Kristen Spolyar led the team with 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, most of which came on cuts and strong takes to the rim.
