The women’s basketball team picked up a big win Saturday afternoon at the Fertitta Center, defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 85-69.
The first quarter featured big offensive runs by both teams, but Houston got off to a fast start to begin the game.
Junior forward Maya Jones scored four early points and senior forward Dorian Branch knocked down a 3 to help the Cougars jump out to a 9-0 lead early in the first quarter.
Oklahoma responded to Houston’s early scoring run with their own 9-0 run to tie the game up at nine midway through the first.
