Cougars ready to face Tulsa at 7 p.m., Friday and Wichita State at 1 p.m., Sunday, both in Fertitta Center
HOUSTON – Following one of the best non-conference starts in school history, the University of Houston Volleyball program returns to action when it opens American Athletic Conference play inside the Fertitta Center this weekend.
The Cougars will play host to Tulsa at 7 p.m., Friday, and meet Wichita State at 1 p.m., Sunday.
Under Head Coach David Rehr, Houston enters this weekend's match with a 10-2 overall record in non-conference play. That ties as the seventh-best start in program history after 12 matches.
Sophomore libero Kate Georgiades leads the Cougars and The American with 4.91 digs per set and was recently named to the league's weekly Honor Roll after leading the Cougars with 6.20 digs per set in three matches at the Bama Bash last weekend.
Sophomore setter Annie Cooke is tops among the Cougars and ranks second in the league with 10.02 assists per set. The Woodlands, Texas, native has dished out 50+ assists in three matches this season and enjoyed her first double-double of the season with 16 assists and 11 digs in the win over Tennessee Tech during the Bama Bash finale on Saturday.
Junior outside hitter Abbie Jackson ranks fourth in the league with 3.55 kills per set. The Gig Harbor, Wash., native has blasted double-digit kills in every match this season and in each of her last 13 dating back to last season.
