  1. Lady Cards Fall at Houston 82-75 in Overtime Nikki Williams scores career-high 26 points HOUSTON - The Lamar University women's basketball team could not hold off the University of Houston Lady Cougars who erased a 26-point deficit in the second half to post an 82-75 overtime win at Hofheinz Pavilion on Wednesday night. The Lady Cards took a 24-point lead into halftime, but UH methodically chipped away at the deficit and took their first lead of the game with 2:29 to play in the game. The Lady Coogs took a 64-63 lead on a three pointer by Tye Jackson, but LU quickly responded and took a three point lead on an Aida Bakhos free throw with 1:48 to play. Houston tied the game back up at 68 with 44 seconds to play and Twiggy McIntyre gave the Lady Cougars a 70-68 lead with 4.5 seconds to play on a pair of free throws. With their backs against the wall, the Lady Cards had one last chance to get back in the game and Nikki Williams answered the call. Williams raced split a double team down the sideline and stopped at the top the key for an open three pointer. Her shot was long, but a foul on Alona Obaze gave Williams three free throws with 0.5 second left. She missed the first freebie but sank the second two to send the game to overtime. In the extra period the Lady Cardinals jumped out to a 72-70 lead on a pair of Tamara Abalde free throws, but UH quickly erased the deficit and took the lead for good with 3:07 to play on a free throw by Ryan Meyers. Houston closed out the game on an 8-2 run for the 82-75 win, improving their season record to 6-8 on the year. Lamar falls to 7-6 on the year, but will head into conference play with a winning record for the first time since the 1991-92 season. Nikki Williams lead the way for the Lady Cardinals with a career-high 26 points, while Abalde posted a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Brittney Williams also posted a double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
