INDIANAPOLIS – The Butler women's basketball team added an Indiana All-Star to the roster late last week by signing former Ben Davis standout Cristen Carter. The 6-4 forward averaged 18.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game as a senior and was an Academic All-State selection in the classroom. 
 
"We are very excited to add Cristen to this already talented freshmen class," Head Coach Austin Parkinson explained. "She is one of the best rebounders we've recruited coming out of high school. We love how hard she plays on both ends of the floor. Her ability to run the floor and get deep post position will be great for our offense."
 
Carter helped Ben Davis win two sectional championships and a regional title during her time as a Giant. She earned All-County and All-Conference honors as a junior and senior while maintaining a GPA over 3.5. Carter set the Ben Davis single-season rebounding record (355) and scored a career-high 30 points in a game against Noblesville.
 
"I decided to come to Butler because of the culture and opportunities it offers," Carter stated. "Butler will help me grow as a student, an athlete, and as an overall person. I can't wait to be a part of the Butler family!"
