A Lone Star State battle will take place Wednesday night as Texas hosts Houston in women’s college volleyball action.
On Wednesday night, Houston will take a road trip for a non-conference matchup against No. 6 Texas at Gregory Gymnasium in Austin for a women’s college volleyball matchup. The defending national champion Longhorns bring a record of 2-2 into Wednesday’s contest and will look to bounce back from a five-set loss to Miami on Saturday. Texas won the first two sets (25-19, 25-17), but the ‘Canes fought back to win the last three (26-24, 25-18, 15-11) which moved Texas from No. 1 in the national rankings to No. 6 for this week. Against Miami, Madisen Skinner led the offensive efforts with 20 kills on 58 swings. Emma Halter cleaned up defensively with 15 digs, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the onslaught of the Hurricanes offense.

The Cougars have been playing well so far this season and will look to carry momentum from their first sweep of the year into Wednesday’s match. On Saturday, the team hosted Northwestern State and made quick work of the Demons, winning the first set 25-21, the second 25-16 and the third 25-14. Freshman Lily Barron carried the offense with 15 kills on 30 swings, while Angela Grieve finished with 13 kills on 29 swings. Defensively, the team looked to Kate Georgiades, who finished the game with 10 digs to keep the back court clear.
Houston and Texas met twice last year and Texas earned wins in both matches to improve the overall record between the two teams to 55-15 in Texas’ favor. This year, the Cougars will try to break the eight match losing streak, with the last win for Houston coming in the year 2000.
