For the first time in ten years, Houston women’s basketball has started off the season 3-1 after a 61-59 victory over Stephen F. Austin on Friday night at Fertitta Center.
The Cougars’ defense was stifling all game, holding a Ladyjacks offense that entered the contest averaging 75 points to just 59 points.
The full-court press that gave Auburn problems in Houston’s last contest worked well against SFA, as the Cougars forced seven first quarter turnovers.
Offensively, Houston was without their leading scorer in sophomore guard Britney Onyeje, but that proved to be no issue as sophomore guard Miya Crump made her first career start stepped up big time.
