Behind the motivation of two of UH tennis leaders

The Houston tennis team is on fire after posting its third consecutive win of the year by a combined score of 12-1, which included two 4-0 shutouts.

Much of this success was owed to sophomore Azul Pedemonti and freshman Blanca Cortijo Parreno, neither of which has lost a match since Jan. 18.

The two have combined to go 16-0 in singles, 8-1 in doubles when paired together, and now have 12 straight set wins, putting the UH tennis team in a position to make a statement on Friday against Baylor.

The Cougars saw their season cut short last year along with the fall season postponed all due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to just be able to play has been the key for the two.
