The Houston women’s basketball team fell to 3-4 on the season after suffering a 74-58 loss to the No. 6 Baylor on Saturday in the team’s final in the Cancun Challenge.
UH went out to an early lead against the Lady Bears, building a 14-8 lead by the midway point of the opening quarter largely thanks to the effort of sophomore guard Laila Blair, who scored 10 of the Cougars’ first 14 points.
Baylor, however, followed with a 6-0 run out of a timeout to tie the game.
In the waning seconds of the first quarter, Blair drilled a 3-pointer to give the Cougars a 17-14 lead going into the second.
