Houston’s tennis team is expected to perform well this season after ranking as high as No. 29 last season and earning a berth in the NCAA Championships First Round.
The Cougars put up 18 wins in a row last season before losing to Tulsa, 4-3, in the final round of the American Athletic Tournament.
Houston entered the 2016 season No. 38 in the initial Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings.
Junior Despoina Vogasari finished the fall season with a 10-3 record. She went 3-0 at the Rice Invitational and was scheduled to play in the top flight finals before bad weather cancelled the last day of singles.
