With the loss, the Red Ravens' overall record falls to 6-1, including a 0-1 record in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference.
The Red Ravens started the game leading slightly, 17-15, after the first quarter, thanks in part to solid contributions from Red Raven freshman Esme Smith, who scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds overall in the game, and sophomore Karliey Parker, who added 12 points. However, the second quarter saw Butler respond with a 12-11 run, closing the gap at halftime, leaving the Red Ravens with a narrow 28-27 lead.

Coffeyville was able to connect on some threes in the fourth; however, Butler did not relinquish the lead, and the final score posted was a 10-point 55-45 loss for the Red Ravens.
