The Cougars finished the regular season a week ago with a doubleheader win against Prairie View A&M. They won both matches in a sweep, 4-0. Houston finished the season with a 19-3 overall record and an undefeated home record at 14-0. The undefeated home record matched their best mark since the 2006 season.
Throughout the season the Cougars racked up a number of dominating performances. Early in the season the Cougars beat Nevada and Arizona in a series of road matches. They battled with powerhouse Rice midseason and were one match from winning, and in a span of three weeks, Houston went on a six-match winning streak. One of the wins in the streak included a home match against UConn, in which the Cougars won the match 5-2.
Sveva Mazzari headlined singles play throughout the spring season, finishing with an impressive 18-1 record. For doubles, Mazzari and Tsveta Dimitrova went 13-2, and Lauren Alter and Alison Mills posted a 13-3 record.
ABOUT THE HUSKIES
UConn finished the spring season with a 10-10 overall record. They went 0-5 in conference and had a losing record in both home and away matches including non-conference matches. Most of their wins came from neutral site matches, in which they posted a 6-1 record. A key win for the Huskies came on April 7, when they beat Boston University, 4-3.
Yelyzaveta Pletnyeva led the team in singles with a 15-5 record. She has been on a streak lately, going 7-3 in her last ten singles matches. She went undefeated when playing with J. Fitz-Randolph in doubles, putting up a 10-0 mark.
