The Saints led throughout this contest taking a 31-27 lead into the locker room at the Power Plant in El Dorado.

Kaheem Ranson, from nearby Wichita Southeast poured in 26 points and Leslee Smith scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.

The Saints shot 48 percent and forced 22 Butler turnovers.

The Saints are still scheduled to host Garden City Monday night despite campus being closed due to a blizzard. A decision is expected to be made by noon.
