A fourth-quarter comeback for the Houston women’s basketball team fell short as it suffered its first conference loss of the season to the UCF Knights 62-59 on the road on Tuesday.
The Cougars’ six-game winning streak was snapped as the Cougars now fall to 2-4 on the road this season.
The first quarter of action saw both teams combine for six turnovers and no points in the first 2:56 of the game until a UCF free throw opened the scoring.
Suffocating defensive effort by both teams carried into the early going as the first field goal of the game came at the 5:21 mark of the quarter.
