The Cougars (32-15, 8-6 AAC) are looking to carry their momentum from Tuesday’s thrilling win into the weekend series with the Knights (28-17, 7-8 AAC), as Houston has now won six-straight contest and seven of its past eight overall.
_ _ UCF is one of Houston’s most familiar foes, having faced the Knights 40 times in the 13-year history between the programs. With the UCF holding the all-time series lead by a slight margin of two games, the two teams have been nearly neck-and-neck since Head Coach Kristin Vesely took the helm of the Cougar program.
_ _ In the past two years, each squad has won three games, with Houston holding a slim edge in the scoring department, 27-24. The last time Houston traveled to Orlando was in 2017, where the Cougars rallied in the seventh inning of the rubber match to come back and win the series, 2-1, marking the first time Houston claimed a season series over UCF since 2013.

This Conference has excellent softball teams in it which helps anneal the steel in our girls mental toughness by relieving internal stresses and improving the durability of maintaining that toughness.
