Tennis – Cougars sweep state competition

Before the weekend’s schedule of matches, head coach John Severance said he did not care how it got done, but that he wanted wins.
His team made good on that wish, winning all three matchups this weekend to improve its record to 8-2 on the season.
Yesterday’s win against conference foe UTEP (0-7) came down to the wire, with the Cougars winning 4-3. The Miners won two of the three doubles competitions, but in singles play UH captured four out of a possible six wins, helping to secure the victory.
Texas State was the Cougars’ foe Saturday, and they cruised past the Bobcats for a 5-2 win. The victory served as a milestone for Severance, who earned his 100th career win at UH.
The Cougars won four of the six singles matches and two of the three doubles.
“They were very disciplined and just played full steam ahead,” Severance said in a release.
The Cougars topped UT Pan-American on Friday 6-1. UH swept the Broncos in doubles and won four of the first five singles matches, making the sixth match unnecessary.
