Supported by a 24-point second quarter, the Butler women’s basketball team trampled in-state rival Indiana State, 72-49. The Bulldogs are now 8-1 on the season. 

Led by a bounce-back performance from Whitney Jennings, who scored 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, Butler shot 45.3 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from three.

Tori Schickel recorded nine rebounds and scored the fourth-most points on the team with eight. Kristen Spolyar and Michelle Weaver added 13 and nine points, respectively.

Butler is back in action against Ohio State at the West Palm Invitational on Dec. 20th.
