Women’s basketball falters late in AAC opener against Houston

Wichita State women’s basketball struggled down the stretch against Houston on Wednesday, 66-61 in the Shockers’ AAC opener. The Cougars used a 13-0 run in the final minutes, handing the Shockers their third straight loss.

WSU took a one-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, but went 6-of-22 in the final quarter and turned the ball over eight times.

“The one word I have is finish,” head coach Keitha Adams said. “We’ve got to finish better. Finish the quarter, finish shots, finish plays and our offense let us down.”

Mariah McCully reached double figures for the seventh straight, with a game-high 23 points on a career-best 5-of-6 from beyond the arc.
