UT shot 40.4 percent (23-of-57) from the field, including 36.4 percent (8-of-22) from three-point range, and 75.0 percent (9-of-12) from the charity stripe to suffer its first loss in four contests against SBU.
Katie Healy led SBU with a game-high 18 points, seven boards and four rejections, while Nyla Rueter and Miranda Drummond had 17 each. Rueter was dominant in the second half, scoring all her points after the intermission.
