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

The Golden Hurricane improved to 3-0 on the young season, while the Huskies dropped their third consecutive contest.

Tulsa appeared to be in control for much of the first half, leading 30-23 at the break. The Huskies, however, exploded in the third quarter, outscoring Tulsa 29-16 to take a six-point lead heading into the final period. The Golden Hurricane responded with their own dominant quarter, pouring in 29 points in the fourth while holding Houston Christian to 15 to close out the game.

A key factor in the outcome was Tulsa’s ability to capitalize on Houston Christian’s mistakes. The Golden Hurricane scored 41 points off of 34 Huskies turnovers, while Houston Christian managed just 15 points off of Tulsa’s 18 turnovers.

Despite shooting a lower percentage from the field, Tulsa attempted 12 more free throws than Houston Christian and made eight more, finishing 20 of 28 from the line. The Huskies shot a efficient 57 percent from the floor but were hampered by their ball security issues.

Jordan Jackson led Houston Christian with a double-double, scoring 13 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in 39 minutes of action. Grace Booth was the Huskies’ high scorer with 17 points and added seven rebounds. Dasia Hyams and Kamryn McLaurin each contributed 10 points for the visitors.

Tulsa’s scoring was more balanced, with four players reaching double figures. Mady Cartwright led the way with 15 points, while Hannah Riddick scored 12. Dora Toman and Alisha Peavy added 10 and 11 points, respectively, with Toman also dishing out four assists.

The Golden Hurricane also held advantages in assists, 12 to 7, and steals, 12 to 7, showcasing a more disruptive defensive effort. A crowd of 1,143 attended the non-conference matchup.

Houston Christian will look for its first win of the season when it hosts LeTourneau on Tuesday. Tulsa puts its perfect record on the line Monday in a road game against crosstown rival Oral Roberts.
