Houston fell to Long Beach State.

Forward Jayme Connors had a rough night, playing on a sprained ankle, shooing 1-for-9... but she hit the game-winning layup in the final seconds.

"Not too often do you get to play a ranked team, and it was something I really wanted," said Connors. "I tried to go and shoot at halftime, and I couldn't really shoot because I couldn't jump off it. My shot wasn't going at all tonight, but it did when it counted."

Sancho Lyttle had 11 points on 5-for-15 before fouling out with five minutes left.
