TULSA, Okla. (Interstat) — The Tulsa Golden Hurricane remained undefeated, overcoming a second-half surge from Houston Christian to secure a 75-67 victory in a non-conference women’s basketball game on Thursday night at the Donald Reynolds Center.

In a contest defined by turnovers and momentum swings, Tulsa improved to 3-0 on the young season while Houston Christian dropped its third straight game.

The Huskies, despite a game-high 17 points from Grace Booth, were ultimately undone by 34 turnovers, which the Golden Hurricane converted into 41 points. Tulsa’s defense was relentless, recording 12 steals compared to Houston Christian’s seven.

The game began as a defensive struggle, with Tulsa holding a 30-23 lead at halftime. Both teams found scoring difficult in the first half, but the Golden Hurricane managed to build their advantage by capitalizing on Houston Christian’s mistakes.

The third quarter, however, saw a dramatic offensive explosion from the Huskies. After scoring just 23 points in the entire first half, Houston Christian erupted for 29 points in the period, outscoring Tulsa by 13 to take a 52-46 lead heading into the final frame. The Huskies shot efficiently from the floor during their run, finding seams in a Tulsa defense that had been stifling for the first 20 minutes.

Tulsa responded emphatically in the fourth quarter, reclaiming control with a 29-point period of its own. The Golden Hurricane tightened their defensive pressure, forcing key turnovers down the stretch and executing more effectively on offense to close out the game.

While Houston Christian shot a higher percentage from the field, going 24 for 42, their 34 giveaways severely limited their offensive opportunities. Tulsa, by contrast, shot 24 of 54 from the floor but attempted 10 more free throws, making 20 of 28 from the line.

Jordan Jackson of Houston Christian recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds in 39 minutes of action. Dasia Hyams and Kamryn McLaurin each added 10 points for the Huskies.

Tulsa’s offense was more balanced, with four players scoring in double figures. Mady Cartwright led the way with 15 points, while Alisha Peavy and Dora Toman each contributed 11. Hannah Riddick added 12 points off the bench, and Layla-J Cameron provided a spark with seven points and three rebounds in just 10 minutes.

Toman, a sophomore from Budapest, Hungary, filled the stat sheet with seven rebounds and four assists to go with her 11 points. Peavy, from San Antonio, also dished out four assists.

The Golden Hurricane also held a significant advantage in assists, tallying 12 as a team compared to seven for the Huskies.

A crowd of 1,143 watched the back-and-forth affair at the Donald Reynolds Center.

Houston Christian will look for its first win of the season when it returns home to face LeTourneau on Tuesday. Tulsa, now 3-0, heads across town for a matchup against Oral Roberts on Monday.
