Houston briefly regained the lead in the second quarter on a 3-pointer by Peguero and a jumper by junior forward Jorynn Ross. Kansas responded with a 10-2 run to build a nine-point advantage, but Houston scored the final four points of the period to cut the deficit to 41-36 at halftime.
Kansas used a 12-2 stretch late in the third quarter to extend its lead to 61-45. Houston answered with a 9-0 run from Hunter, Pitts and graduate forward Amirah Abdur-Rahim to pull within seven. Kansas scored at the buzzer to lead 63-54 entering the fourth.
Kansas opened the final quarter on a 12-0 run to take a 75-54 advantage. Houston faced foul trouble as Ross fouled out and Abdur-Rahim picked up her fourth foul. Peguero hit her fifth 3-pointer of the game, marking her second straight game with at least five made treys.
