The Butler University women’s basketball team improved to 5-4 in Big East play with a 68-57 home win over Providence College on Jan. 21. Following three consecutive losses, the Bulldogs have won two in a row and stand at 13-8 on the season.

Butler got off to a good start in the early stages of the game, leading Providence for nearly the entire first quarter, but a 3-pointer at the buzzer put the Friars up ten minutes into play.
