DEC. 18, 2011
ABOUT WASHINGTON
The Huskies have won six of eight contests this season under
first-year head coach Kevin McGuff, who came to Seattle after
a successful nine-year stint at Xavier. Washington returns three
starters from last season, while losing All-Pac 12 selection Kristi
Kingma prior to the season due to injury.
Washington’s strength this season has been its defense, limiting opponents to just 54.1 points per game while holding the
opposition to 34 percent shooting from the field and 26 percent
from 3-point range. The Huskies have also swatted 4.3 shots per
game this season.
Senior center Regina Rogers has dominated this season, averaging 18.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per contest while shooting
an incredible 70 percent from the field. Freshman point guard
Jazmine Davis is also scoring in double figures with 12.0 points
per game.
LAST TIME OUT
Amanda Lawson and Roxana Button combined for 46 points to
guide Houston to an 83-60 rout of Houston Baptist Saturday afternoon
at Hofheinz Pavilion.
The Cougars, who picked up their first victory of the season, relied
on an offensive outburst in the opening half to build a 22-point lead
at the break. Houston shot a blazing 56 percent from the field and
drained five of seven shots from 3-point range for 54 first-half points,
surpassing the season average in the opening 20 minutes.
The contest got off to a frenetic pace, with the opening 32 points
scored in just over five minutes. Houston Baptist shot out to a 12-7
lead at the 17:22 mark on 5-of-5 shooting before Lawson evened the
contest at 12-12 with a 3-point play.
With Houston holding a 19-18 advantage with 12:58 remaining
in the first half, Lawson took over, converting six of Houston’s seven
field goals over a five-minute stretch to push the Cougars to a 32-20
lead.
Button followed with a layup and freshman forward Terran Alford
knocked down a jumper to cap a 17-3 Houston run in just over six
minutes for a 36-21 Cougar advantage.
With Houston still holding a 15-point lead with 5:20 left to play
in the opening half, the Huskies heated up, draining back-to-back
3-pointers to close the margin to just nine points with 3:26 remaining.
HBU wouldn’t score again in the opening half, however, as the
Cougars rode a 16-0 wave into the break.
Button snapped the skid quickly with a layup and followed the
next time down the floor with a bucket from long range.
Lawson followed with two scores with under a minute to play
before Michelle White drained her second 3-pointer of the half at
the buzzer to send the Cougars to the break with a 54-32 lead.
SERIES HISTORY
Houston and Washington have only met twice in the series
history as the Huskies hold a 2-0 advantage. The Cougars first
faced off against the Huskies at a tournament during the 1984-85
season, with the other loss also coming in a tournament setting
on Dec. 7, 1996.
Houston is 4-12 all-time against current Pac-12 teams and
will play its first contest against a Pac-12 squad since defeating
Oregon State, 49-32, at Hofheinz Pavilion on Nov. 19, 2009.
HOMECOMING FOR WOODS
As most of the team will be making its first trip to the Pacific
Northwest for Sunday’s game at Washington, sophomore center
Mae Woods will be traveling back to familiar grounds.
Woods traveled nearly 2,500 miles away from her hometown
of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, to attend the University of
Houston. Maple Ridge is a suberb of Vancouver and is only 130
miles and a three-hour drive from Seattle.
Woods has averaged 5.3 points per game this season and has
stepped up the productivity over the past two games, combining
for 17 points and 10 rebounds.
UP NEXT
After making the trip to Seattle to face the Huskies, Houston
closes out non-conference play against New Mexico in Albuquerque on Jan. 2, 2012. The Cougars open Conference USA play at
home against Marshall on Jan. 5, where they will look to extend
their regular-season league winning streak to 20 games.
LANDRY TABBED C-USA PLAYER OF THE WEEK
It came as no surprise when senior point guard Porsche Landry
earned the season’s first Conference USA Player of the Week after a
dominating performance to open the season against New Mexcio
State on Nov. 11.
Landry went off for a career-high 37 points, ranking seventh in
school history, while tying a school and conference record with
17 made field goals on 28 attempts (.607). The field goals were
the most made at Houston since 1989 and the most in league
play since 2005.
The Preseason Conference USA selection had 25 of Houston’s
first 36 points, and had streaks of 10 straight points and eight
consecutive points during the first half.
The weekly award was the third in Landry’s career, as the Houston
native earned her first two weekly accolades last season.

TRUE STUDENT-ATHLETE
Senior guard Roxana Button is a prime example of the term
student-athlete, starring on the court as well as in the classroom.
Button earned Capital One Academic All-District Second Team
honors as well as C-USA All-Academic Team accolades for the
second consecutive year during the 2010-11 campaign. Button
is also a two-time member of the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor
Roll and Commissioner’s Medal recipient.
Button carries a 3.86 GPA in psychology with a minor in
chemistry, and plans to attend medical school. The Coppell,
Texas, native has averaged 8.1 points per game, playing in all
103 career contests with 41 starts. Button ranks third all-time
at UH in 3-point percentage (35.1) and free-throw percentage
(76.0) and sixth in made 3-pointers (104).
ELITE COMPANY
Porsche Landry became the 21st member of the school’s
1,000-point club in Houston’s C-USA semifinal loss against Tulane on March 11, 2011.
Landry posted a game-high 20 points against Tulane on
March 11, 2011, to reach the 1,000-point mark, and is just one
of four Cougars all-time with 1,000 points and 300 assists.
Along with Landry, the 2010-11 squad also featured
1,000-point scorers Courtney Taylor and Brittney Scott, which
marked only the third time Houston had three 1,000-point club
members in the starting lineup (1979-80, 1980-81).

THE NAME FITS
Houston’s starting point guard’s first name describes her style
of play perfectly, as Porsche Landry often resembles the speedy
automobile on the court.
Landry slashed defenses in 2010-11 to the tune of 14.8 points
per game, which ranked sixth in C-USA. The Houston native
flourished in first-year head coach Todd Buchanan’s uptempo
style of play, scoring 4.9 points per game higher than her career
average entering the season.
Landry became the 21st member of the school’s 1,000-point
club late in the 2010-11 season and is only the fourth Cougar
all-time with 1,000 points and 300 assists.
The Houston native is the lone returning starter this season
for the Cougars and is poised to break into the top 10 in scoring
all-time at Houston and the top two in assists.
REVERSAL OF FORTUNES
When Todd Buchanan took over at the University of Houston in
2010, he inherited a team that returned nine of 10 letterwinners
and all five starters, including six seniors.
Buchanan, the 2011 C-USA Coach of the Year, was able to
challenge the underachieving group and it resulted in 26 wins
and a perfect 16-0 record in league play, as he became the lone
first-year head coach to take his team to the NCAA Tournament.
The makeup of the 2011-12 Cougar squad is completely different, with only five letterwinners returning and one starter,
2011 First Team All-C-USA selection Porsche Landry. Buchanan
also welcomes seven newcomers from his first recruiting class at
Houston.
BUTTON CLOSING IN ON 1,000-POINT CLUB
Entering the 2011-12 season, few would have thought
that senior guard Roxana Button would get the opportunity to
become the school’s 22nd member of the 1,000-point club, but
with the loss of six seniors from a year ago and a rash of injuries,
Button has been depended on to create offense and has lit up
the scoreboard to the tune of 18.6 points per game through the
opening 10 contests.
Button entered the season with 653 points at an average of 7.0
points per game, and has already tallied 186 points for a career
total of 839. Button has scored in double figures in all 10 games
this season, surpassing her previous career high of four-straight
double-digit performances.
The Coppell, Texas, native joined the school’s 30-point club
against Yale on Nov. 25, and matched her career high with 30
points at UTSA on Dec. 4. Button has averaged 21.6 points over
the last seven contests.

TERRAN’ DOWN THE BOARDS
Freshman forward Terran Alford entered her first collegiate
season with the primary goal of helping the Cougars on the
glass, and the Oklahoma City, Okla., product has certainly done
so by averaging a team-best 7.7 rebounds per game.
Alford, who was home-schooled and had only played basketball for three years before traveling to Houston, made her
presence known in just her fourth collegiate game, pulling down
20 rebounds against Oral Roberts on Nov. 22. The 20 rebounds
tied a school record shared by Sancho Lyttle (2005) and Toni
Mooney (1983).
The following contest, Alford recorded her first doubledouble at the collegiate level, posting 12 points and 11 boards
against Yale to become the first Houston freshman to achieve the
feat since Courtney Taylor on Feb. 23, 2008.
A HEAPING HELPING OF HOFHEINZ
Houston’s Hofheinz Pavilion will be a second home for Cougar fans this season, as the women’s basketball squad will play
16 regular-season games at their home arena, which ties for
second-most all-time in school history and the most since the
1977-78 season.
The non-conference slate features games against teams from
seven different conferences, including the Big 12, Big East and
Pac-12. Eight of the 12 games will be played at Hofheinz Pavilion.

HOUSTON INKS SIX PROSPECTS FOR 2012-13 SEASON
Head coach Todd Buchanan announed the signing of six talented and nationally regarded prospects to National Letters of
Intent for the 2012-13 season on Nov. 10.
The six-player class is loaded with talent and athleticism,
and fills needs with size in the frontcourt and serious talent at
the guard position. All six players hail from Texas and five are
ranked among the top 40 prospects in the Lone Star State by
Premier Basketball Report.
The signees include forwards Marche Amerson (6-1, Rudder
HS, No. 37 ranked prospect in Texas), Taylor Gilbert (6-2, Hightower HS, No. 30 in Texas) and twin sister Tyler Gilbert (6-2, Hightower HS, No. 29 in Texas), and guards Jessieka Palmer (6-0, G, La
Marque HS, No. 14 in Texas), Alecia Smith (5-7, PG, Cedar Hill HS,
No. 15 in Texas) and Bianca Winslow (5-7, G, Bellaire HS).
“I’m incredibly excited about this class,” Buchanan said.
“We’ve continued to add athleticism and we hit on our needs
of talent and size in the post and quick athletes with high basketball IQ’s in the backcourt. Not only are these ladies incredible
basketball players, but they’re also high quality individuals that
come from wonderful families.
“We also stayed true to our priority of recruiting Houston,
Greater Houston, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and Texas as
a whole, and that will never change. I’d like to thank my staff,
and especially assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Ravon
Justice, for all of their hard work and I welcome these ladies to
the University of Houston basketball family.”
DEC. 18, 2011
LANDRY SELECTED TO PRESEASON ALL-C-USA TEAM
Senior point guard Porsche Landry was one of eight players
selected to the Conference USA Women’s Basketball Preseason Team.
Landry earned her first-career preseason honor after a breakout
junior season that saw the Houston native average 14.8 points and
4.0 assists per game while helping lead the Cougars to a perfect
16-0 record in league play and the school’s first NCAA Tournament
appearance since 2005.
For her efforts, Landry was one of three Cougars named First Team
All C-USA in 2010-11. The speedy guard flourished in head coach Todd
Buchanan’s up-tempo style of play last season, averaging 4.9 points
per game higher than her career average.
Landry scored in double figures in 26 of 32 games last season and
became the 21st member of Houston’s 1,000-point club.
YOUTH MOVEMENT
The Houston women’s basketball program welcomed seven
newcomers for the 2011-12 season, including six freshmen,
which marks the youngest team in Conference USA.
With eight total underclassmen, Houston has one of the
three youngest teams in the last 11 years, and the coaches hope
this squad has the same fortunes down the road that the previous teams did.
The 2001-02 and 2007-08 teams also had eight underclassmen, and those players eventually played on two of the most
memorable squads in Houston history. The 2003-04 squad (284) won the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament game and the
2010-11 team (26-6) went a perfect 16-0 in C-USA play.
The 2001-02 squad featured underclassmen Chandi Jones,
Nicole Oliver, Shondra Bush and Kiemona Harris, while the 200708 team included freshmen Brittany Mason, Brittney Scott,
Courtney Taylor and Jasmine Johnson.
A NEW LOOK FOR HOFHEINZ PAVILION
Athletics administrators unveiled exciting new plans for a
$40 million renovation of Hofheinz Pavilion in June 2010.
Plans call for the home of the Houston men’s and women’s
basketball teams to remain the Cougars’ home venue while updating the facility with the latest game experience amenities.
Renovated arena will house two new practice courts, office
suites for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs, team academic/video rooms and space for sports medicine and sports performance.
Renovations will put fans closer to the action with 250 floor
seats and 100 loge box seats.
Athletics administrators are currently raising funds for the
project, which includes a new $120 million football stadium on
the site of current Robertson Stadium.
UH WOMEN’S HOOPS ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK
The Houston women’s basketball program has joined the social media arena. Up-to-date information on the Cougars can be
found on both Twitter (UHCougarWBB) and Facebook (Houston
Cougar Women’s Basketball).
Fans can view the latest news, photos, videos and discuss the
Cougars on Facebook, while receiving live updates during Houston contests on Twitter.
Fans can also follow the team via Twitter while on the road,
receiving updates on the team’s travel and activities while away
from home.
INCOMING CLASS RECEIVES HIGH MARKS
Various recruiting services recently acknowledged the positive direction of the University of Houston women’s basketball
program, ranking the six-player class from November’s early
signing period among the nation’s top-40 recruiting hauls.
ESPN HoopGurlz rated the class as 39th nationally and second
in Conference USA, just one spot behind Memphis, while placing
sixth in Houston’s future league, the BIG EAST Conference.
Dan Olson’s Collegiate Girls Basketball Report gave the class a
top 25 ranking at No. 22, which is tops in C-USA.
The six-player class is loaded with talent and athleticism,
and fills needs with size in the frontcourt and speed with high
basketball IQs at the guard position. All six players hail from
Texas, with five ranked among the top 40 prospects in the Lone
Star State by Premier Basketball Report.
HOUSTON ANNOUNCES MOVE TO BIG EAST CONFERENCE
The BIG EAST Conference formally announced the addition of
the University of Houston, as well as UCF, SMU, Boise State and
San Diego State on Dec. 7, 2011. Houston, UCF and SMU will join
the BIG EAST Conference in all sports for the 2013-14 academic
year.
The BIG EAST Conference has emerged as one of the major
powers in women’s basketball, claiming eight national titles
while 11 squads have reached the championship game in the
past 17 seasons.
“As a basketball coach, as well as a player, there is no greater
opportunity than to compete in the BIG EAST Conference, which
in my opinion is the elite basketball conference in the country,”
head coach Todd Buchanan said.
“You look at the list of national champions that have come
out of that league, coupled with the talent being produced in
our state, and we now have a very deadly combination when it
comes to recruiting,” Buchanan continued. “The excitement level
surrounding our University family is off the charts. With the BIG
EAST brand and the tremendous tradition Houston has, you will
be hard pressed to find a better place to call home than U of H.”
HOUSTON’S ALL-TIME GREAT JOINS STAFF
Former All-American and top-10 WNBA Draft selection
Chandi Jones returned to the University of Houston to serve as
video coordinator, head women’s basketball coach Todd Buchanan announced on Sept. 16, 2011.
“My short-and long-term vision has been to have former
players come back to the staff and reunite as part of our basketball family,” Buchanan said. “For this to come full circle in such a
short amount of time, it’s remarkable. The word exciting doesn’t
do full justice to how I feel about having Chandi back at the University of Houston.”
Jones, who played at Houston from 2000-04, is heralded
as one of the greatest basketball players ever, male or female,
to attend the University of Houston. Jones will reunite with
Buchanan, who served as associate head coach and recruiting
coordinator during her four years with the Cougars.
The Conference USA Female Athlete of the Decade is the alltime Houston and C-USA leading scorer with 2,692 points, which
ranks 21st nationally, while placing 14th all-time in the NCAA
with a career 23.6 points per game.
Jones reached double figures in 114 consecutive games,
marking every contest of her career.

TODD BUCHANAN
Head Coach
Second Season at Houston
Murray State ‘95
126-119 (Ninth Season)
2010-11 C-USA Coach of the Year
In just his first season at the helm of the Houston women’s basketball team, head coach Todd
Buchanan led the Cougars on one of the most memorable runs in program history.
DEC. 18, 2011
A second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament followed during the 2004-05 season, and
Jones was later named C-USA Player of the Decade. Both Jones and Lyttle went on to play in
the WNBA, and Lyttle was selected as an All-Star while playing for the Atlanta Dream in 2009.
EARLY COACHNG CAREER
Buchanan spent two seasons (1998-2000) as an assistant coach at East Carolina, after his first
head coaching job at the University of Montevallo, where he coached from 1996-98.
Prior to Montevallo, Buchanan had coaching stops at Oral Roberts (1995-96) and at his alma
mater of Murray State (1992-95). He has also coached at Lyon Country High School (Eddyville,
Ky.), Murray High School (Murray Ky.) and Calloway County Middle and High School (Murray, Ky.).
PERSONAL
Buchanan is a 1995 graduate of Murray State, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in physical
education with a minor in health.
Buchanan and his wife Michelle have a 3-year old son, Colton, and live in Pearland. His father,
Tom, enjoyed a successful coaching career at both Texas and Kentucky after playing college
basketball at Eastern New Mexico.
Houston posted an overall record of 26-6, marking the second-most wins in school history, while
storming through Conference USA with a perfect 16-0 mark in regular season play, becoming
only the second team in league history to achieve the feat.
Buchanan also returned the Cougars back to national prominence as Houston earned an at-large
bid to the NCAA Tournament and cracked the top 25 polls for the first time since the 2004-05
season.
THE TODD BUCHANAN FILE
Buchanan, who was the lone first-year head coach to take his team to the NCAA Tournament in
2011, was honored as the Conference USA Coach of the Year, marking only the second Houston floor
general to garner the accolade, while also being named a WBCA National Coach of the Year finalist.
Date of Birth: March 1, 1967
Hometown: Eddyville, Ky.
Named UH Head Coach: April 20, 2010
HOUSTON BAPTIST
Named as the Huskies women’s basketball head coach prior to the 2005-06 season, Buchanan
led the HBU program for five seasons and compiled an 80-68 (.540) record. He led the program
to a pair of trips to the NAIA National Tournament before leading the team through the transition to NCAA Division I.
EDUCATION
• Lyon County High School
• Murray State University, B.A. in physical education, 1995
In his first year, Buchanan guided the Huskies to a 28-4 season that included Red River Athletic
Conference regular-season and postseason tournament championships. During the NAIA National
Tournament, he led the team to a Sweet 16 appearance. At the conclusion of the season, HBU
was ranked sixth in the national polls.
Following up his successful first campaign, Buchanan’s 2006-07 HBU squad posted a 27-7 mark
and again claimed the RRAC Tournament championship. Advancing to the NAIA National Tournament for a second straight season under Buchanan, the Huskies advanced to the field’s final eight
before finishing the season ranked 22nd nationally.
Houston Baptist began the unenviable transition from NAIA to NCAA Division I during Buchanan’s
third year at the school and, despite these challenges, Buchanan guided the Huskies to a 14-11
record during its first year of the transition.
Among the standouts coached by Buchanan at HBU were Jere’ Adams, Sherill Hadrick, Velencia
Kuykendall and Dominique Thomas, who were all named All-Americans. His teams were also
solid in the classroom as represented by Academic All-America selections in Kuykendall, Ashley
Davis and Jessica Brantley.
UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON
Joining the coaching staff of former UH head coach Joe Curl, Buchanan spent five seasons on
the Cougar sideline and helped lead the team to the postseason four times. Additionally with
Buchanan’s help, standouts Chandi Jones and Sancho Lyttle were recruited to Houston where
they developed into top-10 draft picks in the WNBA.
In his first season in Houston during the 2000-01 campaign, the Cougars made the postseason
for the first time in nine seasons as they won 19 games and appeared in the Women’s National
Invitational Tournament.
The following year, Houston set a then-school record with 26 wins and was again a part of the
WNIT field where it won four consecutive games before falling 54-52 against Oregon in the
championship game.
During the 2003-04 season, Buchanan and the Cougars reached new heights by compiling a
school-record 28-4 record and claiming both the Conference USA regular-season and postseason
tournament championships. UH appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1992,
and Jones became the school’s only First Team All-American. The program also earned its first
NCAA Tournament win as the Cougars defeated Wisconsin-Green Bay, 62-47.

HOUSTON - The University of Houston women’s basketball team rallied in the
closing minutes but ultimately fell in the final second to New Mexico State by a
score of 63-62 in the 2011-12 season opener Friday night, despite a career-high
37 points from senior Porsche Landry.
The Cougars (0-1) trailed by seven points with 2:01 remaining in the contest before
Landry drained a fade away jumper to inch to a five-point deficit. Fellow senior
Roxana Button then knocked down a jumper at the top of the key to push to within
three points with 1:08 left to play.
Freshman forward Amanda Lawson intercepted an Aggie pass with 45 seconds remaining and dished to Landry, who just missed a game-tying 3-pointer. The Aggies
would miss both free-throws on the other end, however, and Landry nailed a huge
jumper with her toe barely on the 3-point line to bring Houston to within one point.
After New Mexico State (1-0) split free-throws on the other end, Landry drove
down and was fouled with 0.5 ticks left to play. The Houston native made the
first but couldn’t get the roll on the second as the Cougar comeback fell just short.
Houston held a slim 30-29 lead at the half and took its biggest lead at 48-42 with
8:30 remaining, but the Aggies put together an 11-0 run in just over three minutes
for a 60-53 advantage with 3:39 left to play.
Landry was dominant the entire night, finishing with 37 points, seven rebounds,
five steals and three assists in 37 minutes. The Preseason Conference USA selection had 25 of Houston’s first 36 points, and had streaks of 10 straight points and
eight consecutive points during the first half. Landry was 17-of-28 from the field,
including a trey.
Button also scored in double figures with 11 points, including six in the final
eight minutes of play.
New Mexico State’s Tabytha Wampler proved too much for the Cougars down the
stretch, finishing the contest with 21 points and 18 boards.
The young Houston defense forced 27 turnovers with 15 steals, while only turning
the ball over 13 times.
HOUSTON - The University of Houston women’s basketball team couldn’t overcome
a slow start against 25th-ranked Texas Tech Wednesday night, falling by a score
of 88-58 at Hofheinz Pavilion.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The University of Houston women’s basketball team fell to
14th-ranked Georgetown by a score of 66-36 Saturday afternoon at McDonough
Arena.
Houston (0-2) quickly fell behind the Lady Raiders (2-0) by a score of 15-0 in just
over five minutes to begin the game before finally getting on the board at the 14:45
mark. Down 22-2 with 11:37 remaining in the first half, the Cougars gutted out an
11-3 run to pull to within 12 points at 25-13.
The Cougars were held back by another slow start, falling behind by a score of 22-2
in the first 10 minutes en route to a halftime deficit of 39-9.
The Cougars wouldn’t get any closer, as Texas Tech turned the tables and put
together a 14-3 run over the final 5:16 of the first half.
Houston played solid defense in the opening half, limiting Tech to just 36 percent
(14-of-39) shooting while forcing 12 turnovers. The Cougars picked up offensively
in the second half, but the Lady Raiders shot 52 percent (16-of-31) from the field
to outscore Houston 49-42 in the final 20 minutes.
Porsche Landry led Houston with 20 points, all coming in the second half, after being
overwhelmed in the first 20 minutes by constant double teams.
Fellow senior Roxana Button also scored in double figures with 14 points, including
a 2-of-5 effort from 3-point range.
Freshman Amanda Lawson added eight points, six rebounds and two assists in 32
minutes of play, while fellow newcomer Danielle Parks went 3-of-4 from the field
for eight points and four boards in her collegiate debut.
The Cougars struggled offensively, shooting just 28 percent (18-of-64) from the
field, while shooting an effective 78 percent (18-of-23) from the charity stripe.
Chynna Brown led Texas Tech with 21 points, while Kierra Mallard turned in a
double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
Houston matched the Hoyas (2-2) in the second half, as each team scored 27
points, while the Cougars outrebounded Georgetown by a 25-22 margin in the
final 20 minutes.
Senior Roxana Button led Houston with 10 points, marking her third-straight
game of double-double scoring for the first time since late in the 2009-10 season.
Fellow senior Porsche Landry added nine points before leaving the contest with
an injury.
Freshmen Terran Alford and Tahlia Pope both scored their first points in a Houston
uniform, as Alford finished with five points and a team-leading seven rebounds
while Pope posted six points and three boards.

HOUSTON - A short-handed University of Houston women’s basketball squad turned
in a gutsy performance against Oral Roberts Tuesday night at Hofheinz Pavilion but
ultimately fell by a score of 76-60, despite a career-high 27 points from Roxana
Button and a school-record tying 20 rebounds from Terran Alford.
HOUSTON - Roxana Button scored a career-high 30 points and Terran Alford posted
a double-double but the University of Houston women’s basketball team couldn’t
keep up with Yale, falling by a score of 80-62, Friday night in the David Jones
Classic at Hofheinz Pavilion.
Houston (0-4) entered the contest against the up-tempo Golden Eagles with a
depleted roster, and played most of the final 20 minutes with only seven players.
Because of a rash of injuries, Houston was forced to play with only seven players
for the second-straight contest.
The Cougars got off on the wrong foot, falling behind 12-0 in the first 3:35 of the
contest. McNeese State (5-1) built a 21-8 lead with 8:37 remaining in the opening
half when Houston fought back, outscoring the Cowgirls by a 22-15 margin to cut
the deficit to 36-30 at the break.
After a slow start to begin the game, Houston cut an early ORU (5-0) double-digit
advantage to 22-16 with 7:34 remaining in the opening half before the Golden
Eagles put together a 17-4 run en route to a 40-22 halftime lead.
The Cougars stormed out of the gate, taking an early 15-5 lead while holding
Yale (3-2) to only one field goal for nearly eight minutes. Houston led 19-10 at
the 10:29 mark before the Bulldogs quickly put together an 8-0 run to cut the
advantage to 19-18.
Freshman guard Mileka Loydrake opened the second half with a layup to cut the
lead to four, but the Cougars wouldn’t get any closer.
ORU would lead by as many as 24 points in the second half, but the Cougars
wouldn’t back down, closing the gap to 13 points down the stretch, powered by
three 3-point buckets from Button.
The senior from Coppell, Texas, set career highs of 27 points, nine made field goals
and five made 3-pointers in 39 minutes of work. Button was also 4-of-5 from the
free-throw line and handed out three assists.
Alford, a freshman from Oklahoma City, tied the Houston rebounds record in just
her fourth collegiate game with 20 boards, matching Sancho Lyttle (2005) and
Toni Mooney (1983). Alford also posted five points, three assists, two blocks and
two steals in 39 minutes.
Sophomore center Mae Woods also enjoyed a career night, scoring a personal-best
14 points off a 7-of-12 effort from the field in 23 minutes of action.
With the Cougars holding a slim 21-20 lead, Yale began its 3-point barrage, draining
six long-range buckets in the final 6:12 of the first half to fuel a 32-9 run en route
to a 42-28 halftime advantage.
Button, a senior from Coppell, Texas, set a new career high for the second-straight
game, pouring in 30 points in 39 minutes off of a 9-of-25 effort from the field and
an 11-of-13 performance from the free-throw line.
Alford also shined for a second-straight night, recording her first-career doubledouble with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Alford, who tied a school record with 20
boards on Tuesday, was 4-of-8 from the field and 4-of-5 from the charity stripe
in 37 minutes of action.
Amanda Lawson chipped in six points and seven boards, while fellow freshman
Tahlia Pope posted team-highs of five assists and four steals to go with three points.
Michelle White also enjoyed a career night, posting a personal high of seven points
off of a 3-of-7 effort from the field, including her first-career 3-point bucket. White,
a senior from New Haven, Conn., also accounted for a game-high four steals to go
with three boards and two assists.
Led by Alford, the Cougars dominated the glass by a 50-35 margin, including 24
boards on the offensive end.
Along with Alford, fellow freshman Voché Martin provided some productivity in
the post, recording six points, four rebounds and two blocks.
The Cougars struggled against ORU’s aggressive defense, turning the ball over 31
times, including 18 in the opening half.
The winded Cougars struggled to defend the 3-point shot the entire contest, as
Yale was 11-of-22 from beyond the arc. The Bulldogs shot 40 percent (25-of-62)
from the field, while Houston shot 34 percent (19-of-56).
Janna Graf led the Bulldogs with 25 points and 13 rebounds and buried five
3-pointers, while Megan Vasquez added 22 points.
HOUSTON - The University of Houston women’s basketball team wrapped up the
David Jones Classic Saturday afternoon, falling to McNeese State by a score of
72-59 at Hofheinz Pavilion.
Senior guard Roxana Button tallied a game-high 20 points, marking the thirdstraight game of at least 20 points from the Coppell, Texas, native. Button enjoyed
a career night from the free-throw line, going 15-of-16.
Freshman guard Danielle Parks erupted on the offensive end, posting a career-high
16 points off a 5-of-9 effort from the field and a 3-of-5 performance from beyond
the arc in 26 minutes of action.
Loydrake, a freshman from League City, Texas, provided a huge boost to the offense,
returning from injury for the first time since the season opener to run the point
position. Loydrake played 28 minutes, posting eight points, four rebounds and a
game-high seven assists.
The Cougars shot 34 percent (15-of-44) from the field, 42 percent (5-of-12) from
3-point range and 83 percent (24-of-29) from the charity stripe.
Houston was edged in the rebounding battle by a 37-35 margin, while turning the
ball over 24 times compared to 16 Cowgirl miscues.

HOUSTON - The University of Houston women’s basketball team couldn’t find a
rhythm against TCU’s defense Thursday evening, falling to the Horned Frogs by a
score of 80-35 at Hofheinz Pavilion.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - UTSA rode a 17-6 rally over the final 8:39 to break a tie game
as the University of Houston women’s basketball team fell to the Roadrunners by a
score of 70-59, Sunday afternoon at the Convocation Center.
HOUSTON - The University of Houston women’s basketball team couldn’t overcome
a slow start against Louisiana Tech Wednesday night, falling to the Lady Techsters
by a score of 79-53 at Hofheinz Pavilion.
Houston jumped out to a 6-1 lead over the first three minutes of the contest and
held an 8-7 advantage at the 14:39 mark of the opening half before TCU mounted
a 19-2 run over a seven-minute period en route to a 35-18 lead at the break.
The Cougars got off to a quick start, building a 20-12 lead at the 11:20 mark, aided
by 12 early points from senior guard Roxana Button.
The Cougars got off on the wrong foot, as senior guard Roxana Button picked up two
early fouls in the opening four minutes and was forced to sit the rest of the first half.
Houston shot out to its biggest lead of the contest at 28-19 with 7:37 remaining
after freshman guard Mileka Loydrake buried back-to-back 3-pointers, but the
Roadrunners would end the first half much like the second, outscoring the Cougars
15-6 to tie the game at 34 points apiece at the break.
Without its leading scorer, Houston struggled to create offense and went into
the break down 36-20.
The Cougars couldn’t claw back into the contest to open the final 20 minutes of
play as TCU scored the first seven points and held Houston without its first field
goal of the second half until the 7:58 mark.
For the seventh-straight game, senior guard Roxana Button scored in double digits
with 10 points despite struggling to find an open shot the entire night.
Freshman guard Danielle Parks tallied eight points and drained two more 3-pointers, while sophomore center Mae Woods added six points.
Voché Martin, a freshman center, led the Cougars with a career-best 11 rebounds
to go with four points in 24 minutes, while Terran Alford pulled down eight boards.
For the fourth-straight game, the short-handed Cougars played with only seven
student-athletes as TCU outscored Houston by a 47-10 margin from the bench.
Houston managed to shoot only 19 percent (9-of-47) from the field while the
Horned Frogs shot 49 percent (32-of-66) from the field after a blazing 58-percent
clip in the second half.
UTSA (3-5) opened the second half on a 9-0 run before Houston finally got its first
points of the second half at the 15:48 mark on a Button free-throw. Button would
follow with a jumper and make two more free-throws to trim the deficit to four
points with 14:53 remaining.
After falling back to an eight-point deficit, freshman guard Danielle Parks sank a
bucket from downtown and Loydrake followed with a layup to tie the contest at
53-53 and cap a 10-2 run with 8:39 left to play.
The Roadrunners would score the next eight points via layups, and after Houston
cut the deficit back to four points with 3:12 to play, UTSA relied on five free-throws
in a span of 1:28 to put the contest out of reach.
Button, who played all 40 minutes, matched her career best in the loss with 30
points and also set career highs with 10 field goals and four steals while matching a
personal best with four assists. Button scored 12 of Houston’s first 20 points, while
also accounting for the Cougars’ first 12 points of the second half.
Loydrake also scored in double figures for Houston with 12 points, shooting
4-of-5 from the field, including a 2-of-2 effort from beyond the arc, and 2-of-2
from the charity stripe.
Freshman forward Amanda Lawson returned to the lineup for the first time in
three games and provided six first-half points to go with seven rebounds. Houston
held UTSA to a 36-percent shooting performance (21-of-58), but the Roadrunners
racked up 24 points at the free-throw line on 31 attempts.
The Cougars forced 22 UTSA turnovers to just 16 Houston miscues, while swiping the
ball 13 times. Houston was dominated on the glass by a 52-35 margin.
The Cougar defense was stingy early on, limiting the Lady Techsters (3-6) to just
two points in the first five minutes. The score was tied 4-4 with 13:11 remaining
in the opening half when Louisiana Tech found its rhythm, putting together a 19-4
run in just under four minutes.
Houston ended the half on a 6-2 run, capped off by a layup from Danielle Parks
with five seconds remaining, and the Cougars continued that momentum into the
second half, cutting the deficit down to 12 points with 17:03 left to play as Parks
connected on her second 3-pointer of the half.
The Cougars would cut the Louisiana Tech lead down to 12 on two occasions early
on in the second half, but the Lady Techsters continued to answer with big buckets
to keep Houston at arms length.
Despite playing only 24 minutes, Button managed to score 12 second-half points,
going a perfect 5-of-5 from the free-throw line while burying her 100th-career
3-pointer. Button extended her double-digit scoring streak to nine games.
Parks posted 12 points in 38 minutes of action, shooting 5-of-16 from the field,
including a 2-of-6 mark from 3-point range.
Fellow freshman Tahlia Pope enjoyed a career night, posting 11 points and a teamleading nine rebounds in 35 minutes. Pope took over the role of Button in the first
half, scoring nine points while bringing plenty of energy to the floor.
Sophomore center Mae Woods also put together a productive performance, scoring
eight points off a 4-of-6 effort from the field to go with four boards in 22 minutes.
The Cougars were plagued by free-throw shooting, converting just 14 of 28 opportunities from the charity stripe, including an 8-of-18 mark in the final 20 minutes.

HOUSTON - Amanda Lawson and Roxana Button combined for 46 points to guide
the University of Houston women’s basketball team to an 83-60 rout of Houston
Baptist Saturday afternoon at Hofheinz Pavilion.
The Cougars, who picked up their first victory of the season, relied on an offensive
outburst in the opening half to build a 22-point lead at the break. Houston shot a
blazing 56 percent from the field and drained five of seven shots from 3-point range
for 54 first-half points, surpassing the season average in the opening 20 minutes.
The contest got off to a frenetic pace, with the opening 32 points scored in just
over five minutes. Houston Baptist shot out to a 12-7 lead at the 17:22 mark on
5-of-5 shooting before Lawson evened the contest at 12-12 with a 3-point play.
With Houston holding a 19-18 advantage with 12:58 remaining in the first half,
Lawson took over, converting six of Houston’s seven field goals over a five-minute
stretch to push the Cougars to a 32-20 lead.
Button followed with a layup and freshman forward Terran Alford knocked down
a jumper to cap a 17-3 Houston run in just over six minutes for a 36-21 Cougar
advantage.
With Houston still holding a 15-point lead with 5:20 left to play in the opening
half, the Huskies heated up, draining back-to-back 3-pointers to close the margin
to just nine points with 3:26 remaining.
HBU wouldn’t score again in the opening half, however, as the Cougars rode a
16-0 wave into the break.
Button snapped the skid quickly with a layup and followed the next time down
the floor with a bucket from long range.
Lawson followed with two scores with under a minute to play before Michelle
White drained her second 3-pointer of the half at the buzzer to send the Cougars
to the break with a 54-32 lead.
Lawson, a freshman from Bryan, Texas, just missed a double-double with career
highs of 24 points and nine rebounds. Lawson, who went 9-of-11 from the field
in the opening 20 minutes, finished the contest with 11 field goals while also
handing out four assists.
