HOUSTON, Texas — The defense efforts of seniors and provided the different in Texas State's 58-54 win at Houston Baptist Thursday night.
With 34 seconds left in the game and the score tied at 54, Taylor was credited with her third steal of the game when she forced an Enya Maguire turnover off a Huskies' inbound play. Taylor broke away from Maguire's potential defensive efforts to push Texas State (4-2) ahead 56-54 with 30 seconds left in the game.
Houston Baptist immediately called a timeout to talk an offensive strategy.
As time ticked away, the Huskies attempted to run a potential game-tying set play, but Hood stepped in front of Timia Jefferson as she drove to the basket.
