The Cougars stumbled out of the gate to open conference play, losing four of their first six Conference USA games and compiling a 2-6 record over their last eight games overall.
UH (18-12, 2-4 Conference USA) is no longer ranked, but did take two of three from Memphis in its most recent series over the weekend. The Cougars took the first two games, outscoring the Tigers by a margin of 15-1, but fell in the finale 2-0 Sunday.
Tigers pitcher Carly Hummel would take her no-hit bid into the top of the seventh, before a Brooke Lathan stroked the Cougars lone hit.
Amanda Crabtree took the loss for UH, dropping her to 11-6, after throwing four innings, allowing two runs, neither of which was earned.
The Cougars hit the road for a mid-week twigh-night double-header against Texas State kicking off at 5 p.m. Wednesday in San Marcos.
