After the UH women’s volleyball season got off to a rocky start in the first match of the LSU Tiger Classic, falling to Rice in three sets, the Cougars rallied against LSU later that night to defeat the Tigers in four sets on Friday in Baton Rouge, Lousiana.
In the first match of the day, UH struggled against Rice from the very beginning of the first set.
Senior outside hitter Abbie Jackson led UH in kills with 13 but the Owls commandeered the game early on. Rice, which finished with a .307 hitting percentage and 48 kills, took all three sets by the scores of 25-22, 25-18 and 25-18.
