Georgetown women’s basketball (18-10, 8-9 BIG EAST) survived a nail-biter against the Butler Bulldogs (13-14, 5-11 BIG EAST) 70-63 on Saturday Feb. 24 at McDonough Arena. On the team’s Senior Day, senior guard Kelsey Ransom fittingly had her biggest game of the season with a huge 31 point performance. Butler displayed impressive three-point shooting, but the Hoya defense shut them down when it mattered most.
Hartford Freshman Ashlynn Shade scored a season-high 22 points, Paige Bueckers had 16 points and seven assists, and No. 16 UConn beat Butler 88-62 on Monday night in a Big East opener for both teams.
