UH women’s basketball prevails after two overtimes

The Cougars survived a double overtime battle with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and stopped the rally attempt after going up double digits in the third.

Junior guard Jasmyne Harris had 26 points, redshirt sophomore forward Alyssa Okoene also had 26 and junior forward Dorian Branch hit two big three-pointers in the second overtime to deliver UH’s first win of the season.

UH started the game off slow as it allowed Georgia Tech to get out to an early 13-5 lead. The Cougars picked it up after the period and took a large lead using a 24-2 run that spanned the second and third quarters.
