Latasha Byears had most rebounds in her first game for Houston Comets from preseason in WNBA. Former CSKA forward had 14 boards before being ejected for her second technical foul.
Houston Comets hosted the 2006 WNBA champions Detroit Shock and loss 72-74. Game was played at Texas Tech’s University United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas.
Detroit forward Swin Cash led all scorers with 16 points, while former Texas Tech University star Sheryl Swoopes and her teammate Michelle Snow led their squad in scoring with 14 each. Snow added 10 rebounds as well.
Latasha Byears, who ranks 6^th in WNBA all time field goal percentage list (51.6 %) moved to Houston last month to prepare with the new team for upcoming WNBA season. Houston Comets is her fourth team in WNBA as she played before in Sacramento, Los Angeles and Washington. Only Tiffani Johnson is still with CSKA as she is still waiting for offers from the best league in the world and most likely will play until the end of the playoffs in Bulgaria.

Next Saturday Houston Comets visit New York Liberty in their second preseason game for the season.
