WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University women's basketball team (16-9, 8-7 BIG EAST) used a big fourth-quarter push to defeat the Butler University Bulldogs (5-21, 2-13 BIG EAST), 83-72, Friday evening at McDonough Arena. The Hoyas hit six 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to pull away and clinch a first round bye in the BIG EAST Tournament.
“I just thought our energy picked up in the fourth, in the second and third quarters we didn’t play with that same fire,” said Georgetown Head Coach Natasha Adair. “This time of year, it doesn’t matter what your record is and this league’s parity is so close on any given night.
