The Houston women’s basketball team failed to stay perfect in American Athletic Conference play as it fell to UCF 55-46 on Sunday afternoon in Orlando.
The Knights (5-1, 3-0 AAC) were able to extend their winning streak against the Cougars (5-2, 2-1 AAC) to eight.
The Cougars came into Sunday’s game on a four-game winning streak, including two straight against AAC opponents.
The first half was sloppy on both sides as the teams combined for 25 turnovers, including 14 by UH. The Knights and the Cougars both ran a full-court press for the majority of the first two quarters, and this led to quick shots, turnovers and a low score.
