Signing Carter
"We are very excited to add Cristen to this already talented freshmen class," 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."

Why Carter Chose Butler
"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!"
