BYU women’s basketball won the battle of the boards against Texas Christian University to take a 61-58 victory in the Cougars’ first game at the SDSU Thanksgiving Classic on Friday.

"We made some big defensive plays there at the end," BYU head coach Jeff Judkins said. "I thought we did a really good job on the boards, and we didn’t give them too many second looks."

BYU dominated the paint with a 47-38 advantage in rebounds, led by season highs from Jasmine Moody and Sara Hamson, who had 10 and eight, respectively.
