The Butler women’s basketball team lost 64-56 to St. John’s on the road at Carnesecca Arena, dropping the team to 0-6 on the season. Senior guard Genesis Parker led the Bulldogs with 13 points and two steals, and redshirt senior Jaia Alexander added 11 points, eight rebounds and two steals. This was the first game this season for Butler starting the same lineup as the previous game.
On their first possession of the game, St. John’s guard Leilani Correa cashed in a 3-pointer following an offensive rebound off a missed corner three. On Butler’s next possession, Parker broke free on a screen from junior forward Okako Adika and made the layup despite being fouled in the process.
