SUNSET – What does Amanda Butler hope to do for an encore? Just get better every day.
Butler entered last season without a lot of expectations for a team that had suffered through several down seasons. Instead of continuing the downward spiral, however, the Lady Tigers put together a 20-13 season, including a 9-7 mark in the ACC. It was the program’s best season in 17 years, which landed them in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002.
And it all happened in Butler’s first year as head coach.
The Tigers are also coming off their most conference wins since 2002 (9).
