After a winless run at the Flo Hyman Collegiate Cup, Houston won its first game of the season after taking down McNeese State 3-1 on the road Tuesday night.
The victory not only marks the first win of the season for the Cougars but for first-year head coach David Rehr as well.
The first set for Houston started hot, as they quickly took the lead early against McNeese State. The Cowgirls slowly put on their own comeback, but the Cougars attack allowed themselves to regain momentum and escape with a 25-19 win in the first set.
