Houston moves to 3-0 in conference action with dominant performance
HOUSTON – The University of Houston women's basketball team snapped its 12-game losing streak against UCF 80-42, to remain undefeated in American Athletic Conference play on Tuesday night at the Fertitta Center.
The Cougars (6-10, 3-0 American) were led by senior Bria Patterson's 18 points, who went an outstanding 8 for 9 from the field. Junior Kamryn Jones collected 14 points and eight rebounds, with graduate Tatyana Hill adding 13 points to the victory.
This is the first time since 2017-18 that the Cougars have started conference play 3-0. The loss was the third consecutive for UCF (9-6, 0-3 American). The Knights were limited to 2 for 13 from 3-point range, and shot just 29% overall from the field (14 for 49).
Houston opened the floodgates early, leading by 24 points in the first half. The Cougars, who registered their largest margin of victory against the Knights in 28 all-time matchups, were able to expand their lead with an accurate 3-point display, with Patterson going 2 for 2 and redshirt senior Britney Onyeje going 3 for 5.
The Cougars gave the Knights no opportunities by forcing UCF 38 total turnovers and recording 18 steals. Houston entered the day ranked third nationally in steals per game (14.1) and third in turnovers forced per game (25.0).
The last time the Cougars won by 35 points or more was on Feb. 10, 2021, beating Temple by 37 points. It also marks the first time Houston scored 80+ points in an American game since Feb. 23, 2022 (80 points vs. Temple).
