A frustrating night in Nellis Hall saw winnable games slip away, resulting in a pair of losses against the Butler Grizzlies.

 

The Lady Ravens drop their first home game of the season 68-50. Freddie Wallace led all scorers with 23 points, while Bailey Layman led the Ravens with 12. Karys Washington had another double-double, posting 11 points and 12 rebounds.

 

Head coach Tony Turner says his team wasn't fully prepared for Butler's suffocating defense.

 

Jay Herkelman's team got off to a fast start, leading by 11 early in the second game of the doubleheader. But Butler would show their resilience, battling back and sneaking out a 56-51 road win.

 

Assistant coach Jake Odum says the offense continued to struggle with knocking down shots.

 

With another road trip on the schedule this weekend, Odum says the team will need to find some confidence.

 

The Ravens travel to Goodland to battle the Northwest Kansas Tech Mavericks on Saturday.
