SEDALIA, Mo. - The Butler women suffered its first loss of the season Monday with a 66-56 loss at No. 13 State Fair. The contest was a rematch of the Nov. 2 meeting, which the Grizzlies won 66-33 at the Power Plant.
After falling behind in the first half by as many as 16 points, Butler rallied back courtesy of a big third quarter effort that tied the game at 42 apiece. However, the upset bid came up short in the fourth quarter as State Fair outscored Butler 24-14 in the period to earn the win.
The Grizzlies (6-1) were led in scoring by sophomore Tamara Lee, who had a team and game-high 21 points. A bright spot for Butler was the charity stripe, where they converted on 80.6 percent (29-of-36) of their attempts.
Butler will return to the Power Plant again on Tuesday, Nov. 17 as they play host to Oklahoma Wesleyan University JV. Tip is scheduled for 5:30 with the men's game to follow.
