An ultra-quick guard/forward, Dominique Butler has proven to be one of the top defensive players in the entire country during her first two seasons at CSU. Butler has outstanding instincts which allow her to step into passing lanes and disrupt the opponents offensive schemes. In addition, her ability to penetrate, slash and post-up make her one of the top all-around offensive threats on the roster.
