UH reaches top 25 for 1st time
The Cougars have risen to the top 25. They moved up nine spots to No. 21 in the country this week and have become the first American Athletic Conference team to be ranked within the nation’s top 25.
“This is a big moment for the program and a day that we’re all going to look back on very fondly in the future. But we open conference play tomorrow, and for now, our job is to stay hungry and take care of business,” said head coach Patrick Sullivan.
The team had success against Temple on Wednesday for their first conference opponent.
The Cougars came out and made a strong statement, blanking the Owls 4-0.
UH led from start to finish. Freshman Despoina Vogasari and junior Elena Kordolaimi teamed up to defeat Temple’s Mariana Bedon and Minami Okajima in a dominating fashion, 8-2 on court one.
Moments later, senior Celia Fraser and sophomore Rocio Martin recorded an 8-5 victory on court two to clinch the doubles point for the Cougars.
