Butler girls press way to road win
Tornado pick up 55-38 victory over McDowell in Erie

The Butler girls basketball team set out to get more possessions in a non-section game against McDowell on the road Friday night.
The Golden Tornado pressed and played up-tempo and got off to a hot start to beat the Trojans 55-38. 
“We pressed more than we've pressed all season,” said Butler coach Joe Lewandowski. “It was a tough road game and it was big for us to get off to a good start.” 
Butler (9-5) jumped out to a 15-5 lead after the first quarter and led 32-16 at the half. 
Jenna Kunst led the Golden Tornado with 16 points and Kylee Lewandowski added 14. 
Butler hit nine 3-pointers in the game, seven in the first half. 
Kylee Lewandowski hit four of them. 
It was a well-balanced win for Butler. Mia Rader scored nine points on three 3-pointers and also had four assists and Julia Gibson added seven points and eight rebounds. 
“We limited their second-chance points and getting off to that fast start was huge,” Coach Lewandowski said.
