Houston women’s basketball edges out UCF in final minute

A game-winning three came out of the hands of graduate guard N’Yah Boyd in the final minute of UH women’s basketball’s 68-67 win over UCF Saturday at Fertitta Center.

After leading by as much as 21 points, UCF came storming back.

A critical three from Boyd gave Houston a two-point lead after the teams had landed on a tie at 58. However, a Houston turnover preceded a tie at 62.

The Cougars went on to trail by as much as five, but a three from senior guard Laila Blair put the Cougars in position for a game-winner.
