Alliya Butts stepped onto the court Monday at McGonigle Hall knowing she was close to achieving a milestone.
When the junior guard scored a fastbreak layup early in the third quarter, she gave the Owls a three-point lead against La Salle. She also scored her 1,000th career point, becoming the 24th player in program history to do so.
“I only needed four points going into the game to get 1,000,” Butts said. “So I kinda knew coming into the game that I was gonna get to that point at some point in the game.”
Butts had 17 points, four assists and four steals in the Owls’ 86-70 win against the Explorers.
