The women’s basketball team clung to a one-point lead at halftime in the BIG EAST quarterfinals against the eighth-seeded Butler Bulldogs.
Golden Eagles head coach Carolyn Kieger had a strong message for her squad that set the tone for the second half.
“I felt like I was doing all the talking and they were just head-nodding,” she said. “I told them I need dialogue; I need more back and forth conversation. Once that happened they got more engaged in the game.”
All-BIG EAST honorable mention Amani Wilborn answered the call from Kieger with a season-high 26 points en route to a 73-61 victory.
