Looking to improve on their 2-1 record in dual meets last weekend, the Cougars were on the road for split-squad action against Southeastern Conference foes.
Houston improved to 3-2 as the swimmers traveled to Nashville, beating Vanderbilt University 163-152 and falling to the University of Arkansas 199-113. The divers went to Clemson, South Carolina to face Clemson University and Arkansas.
“Going on the road against two SEC opponents is a tough thing to do and I’m happy we were able to come away with the win against Vanderbilt,” head coach Ryan Wochomurka said in a statement. “Arkansas showed us how we can continue to improve so as to be more competitive with a team of their caliber.
