11/17/2019 5:51:00 PM | Women's Basketball

HOW IT HAPPENED
Houston got out to a fast start offensively, as five Cougars got on the board in the first quarter. Dorian Branch and Tatyana Hill took charge early, taking advantage of mismatches underneath the basket and helped Houston outscore HBU 12-2 in the post. An 11-0 run by Houston offense sparked by a defensive flurry that held HBU scoreless for over three minutes would give the Cougars a 18-7 lead at the break.
Houston Baptist found its footing in the second frame, outscoring Houston 16-15. The Cougars would counter the Huskie attack by continuing to take care of business in the paint. KeAjsa Peace made an immediate impact off the bench with four points and three rebounds. The Cougars would take a 33-23 lead at the half.
Jasmyne Harris and Hill combined for 14 of Houston's 24 third quarter points. Harris got things going from behind-the-arc, hitting two of her four three-pointers in the frame, as Hill went 3-of-4 from the field for a team-high eight points. The balanced scoring effort from the Cougars would give the squad a 57-42 lead heading into the final 10 minutes of regulation.
A 15-7 run by the Cougars prior to the first media timeout would keep HBU at an arm's distance as junior Maya Jones stole the show in the fourth quarter. Jones made an impact on both ends of the court, going 2-of-2 from three-point range and 1-of-1 from the free throw line playing valuable minutes for the Cougars. Houston would pick up its second straight home victory of the season to remain spotless at the Fertitta Center.
