The 1978-79 Butler women's basketball team finished the season with a 23-1 record. Their only setback came in the MAIAW Tournament to Greenville (Ill.). Butler won the IAIAW District Tournament and the IAIAW State Tournament that year. Head coach Linda Mason helped this unit post an average winning margin of 15.4 points. Defense was key to their success as the 1978-79 Bulldogs held 13 opponents under 50 points. Liz Skinner was the Team MVP that season. A 1998 Butler Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, Skinner averaged nearly 16 points per game as a freshman. She ended her career with 1,224 points, the 13th-highest total in school history.
The Butler Hall of Fame was created in 1991 to provide a forum in which those who have brought honor and respect to Butler University and its athletic program could be acknowledged and permanently enshrined in Hinkle Fieldhouse. Inductees have made exceptional contributions to the prestige of the University in the field of athletics, and continued to demonstrate in their lives the values imparted by athletics. The 2019 Class will bring the membership of the Butler Hall of Fame to 219 individuals and 13 teams.
