In their first Big East game, the Butler women’s basketball team started strong by beating Villanova, 63-55. In what has become a trend, Tori Schickel shined with 22 points.
On a more surprising note, Katherine Strong posted 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting. For the usual scorers, the ball didn’t drop so easily. Kristen Spolyar, Whitney Jennings, and Michelle Weaver combined to shoot 4-for-18.
