Houston’s women’s basketball team defeated the Florida A&M Rattlers, 79-59 this Sunday afternoon at the Fertitta Center.
The Cougars held a comfortable lead for much of the game, led by junior forward Peyton McFarland’s career-high 21 points.
In the first quarter, the Cougars got off to a modest start into the 3rd minute tying the game against the Rattlers 6-6 with a layup by senior guard Laila Blair.
After the Rattlers answered back with a layup of their own, Blair responded with a three-pointer that allowed the Cougars never to look back. Along with a seven-point contribution from McFarland, UH grew its lead to 26-12 at the end of the quarter.
