UH women’s basketball drops tight game to Washington State

The UH women’s basketball’s rough start continued after a 70-63 loss to Washington State at Fertitta Center on Wednesday.

Dropping to 3-10 on the season, the Cougars fell in yet again another close matchup decided by seven or less points.

The game was relatively competitive throughout the first quarter, though the Cougars led for most of the period. Junior guard Laila Blair led the way for Houston, scoring nine as UH led 17-12 heading into the second.

In the second quarter, Washington State dominated, eating away at the UH lead as its offense hit a standstill.
