Behind a pair of double-doubles and a season-high 95 digs, Houston improved to 6-0 for its best conference start since 2001 after the Cougars downed the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 3-1 on the road Sunday afternoon.
Senior outside hitter Megan Duncan (12 kills, 12 digs) and junior setter Abby Irvine (40 assists, 15 digs) notched double-doubles for the Cougars while senior libero Katie Karbo aided in Houston’s season-high in digs with 28.
The first set started off as a tight battle for control as both teams traded turns taking marginal leads. For most of the set, neither team was able to build more than a two-point advantage.
