The Houston women’s basketball team opened its season Tuesday afternoon at Fertitta Center, storming past Howard in an 80-48 win.
“Confidence-wise, it’s tremendous for us,”said head coach Ronald Hughey said on starting the season off 1-0. “That confidence is starting to build.”
Right out of the gates, Howard fired a 3-pointer to start the game.
Graduate student guard Julia Blackshell-Fair responded with a steal, followed by a finish from senior forward Tatyana Hill, who grabbed eight rebounds in the season-opener.
UH took advantage of two missed free throws by the Bison, as junior guard Britney Onyeje, who tallied 10 points, added a three to lead 11-9.
