CHICAGO – A lopsided second quarter allowed the nationally-ranked DePaul Blue Demons to pull away from Butler on Sunday afternoon. DePaul ended the second on a 22-3 scoring run to take a 20-point lead at the half. The final outcome was a 102-63 decision for the home team.

Blaire Langlois was the top performer for BU in a losing effort. She hit five of her 10 3-point field goals to net 19 points. Joining Langlois with a double figure scoring total was freshman Brittany Ward who chipped in with 14 points.

Langlois got off to a hot start by knocking down three of her first four 3-point field goal attempts. The 'Dawgs were able to race out to an early lead with Langlois' long distance shooting, but it wouldn't last as the two teams went into the first media timeout deadlocked at 11-11.

The final stages of the first quarter mixed with the opening minutes of second featured back and forth action, but today's turning point would be the final seven minutes before the half as DePaul blew the game wide open. The Blue Demons would win the second quarter 24-8 and coast to the finish line on their Senior Day.

21 Butler turnovers would result in 31 DePaul points as the Blue Demons used full court defense to get BU out of their comfort zone. DePaul also dominated the rebound category on Sunday by grabbing more offensive rebounds than Butler was able to haul in the entire game. The Bulldogs grabbed 22 boards, eight of which came on the offensive glass. DePaul ended the game with 50 total rebounds, 24 on the offensive end.

Chanise Jenkins and Jessica January tied for the team lead in scoring with 17 each. Ashton Millender got hot from 3-point land to add 15 points and the fourth member of the Blue Demons to reach double figures was Tanita Allen who came off the bench for 11.

Butler will return to action on Feb. 19 with a game against the Seton Hall Pirates. The contest will be aired live on Fox Sports 2 at 7 PM.
