Aztecs Win Surf ‘n Slam Championship

Jene Morris scored 24 points to lead San Diego State to a stunning 60-55 upset of No. 4 Texas on Tuesday night in the Surf 'N Slam championship game.
 
Morris almost single-handedly kept San Diego State in the game in the second half when she scored 15 points, including three 3-pointers. But it was late baskets by Jennifer Layton-Bailes and Paris Johnson that put the Aztecs ahead to stay.
 
Texas led from the midway point of the first half until Layton-Bailes scored on a layup for a 53-52 San Diego State lead with 1:51 left. The Longhorns played a sloppy game as they committed 23 turnovers.
 
Morris tied her career high with eight steals for San Diego State, which won despite shooting 33.9 percent.
 
Carla Cortijo led the Longhorns with 13 points.
