Story Links

6-2 forward Caroline Dotsey is the newest member of the Butler women’s basketball program. The Maine transfer signed an athletic aid agreement this week to join the Bulldogs for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
 
“Caroline’s productivity per minute was incredible last season,” Head Coach Austin Parkinson stated. “I love the fact that some of her biggest games came against the best competition on their schedule. Caroline is a versatile four who can shoot the three and is explosive to the rim in triple threat.”
 
Dotsey will have two years of eligibility remaining, having spent the first two at Maine. She is the fourth transfer to join the program this week joining Nevaeh and Saniya Jackson from Valparaiso and Gabby Wilke from South Dakota.
 
Last season at Maine, Dotsey averaged 9.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. She shot 41 percent from the field and connected on 35 percent of her attempts from behind the arc to end the year with 38 triples.
 
Dotsey erupted with a career-high 30 points in a game at New Hampshire in January. She ended the year having scored in double figures 14 times in 31 games played. Other outstanding individual efforts came against Stonehill and UMass Lowell. Dotsey made a career-high five 3-pointers in her 26-point game at Stonehill and dropped 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting at home vs. the River Hawks.
 
During her prep career at Haverford High School, Dotsey averaged 16.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game as a senior. She was recognized as the All-Delaware County Player of the Year, the All-Central League Player of the Year, and the All-Main Line Player of the Year.
 
A Gatorade Player of the Year finalist, Dotsey guided Haverford to their first Central League Championships since 2012 and ended her career as the program’s second all-time leading scorer (1,360) and the all-time career rebound leader (859).
