NEW ORLEANS -- Maria Jespersen had 13 points and 10 rebounds, Laia Flores added 10 points, five assists and a career-high six steals and No. 22 South Florida beat Tulane 62-53 on Wednesday night.

It was the fifth double-double in the last six games for Jespersen, who made 5 of 8 from the field. The rest of the Bulls shot just 33.9 percent (19 of 56).

Kolby Morgan's layup gave Tulane (10-5, 1-1 American Athletic Conference) a three-point lead, but Ariadna Pujol hit a jumper, Kitija Laksa made a 3 and Jespersen had back-to-back buckets to make it 35-29 with 4:43 left in the third quarter and USF (12-1) led the rest of the way.
