Houston volleyball took down Cincinnati 3-1 to take sole possession of second place in the American Athletic Conference.
The win brought UH’s AAC record to 7-2.
Both teams started off by going on short runs caused by strong setting.

The Cougars posted two straight blocks to regain the lead 12-11.
Houston was able to create some breathing room after even more tough defense as a block from junior middle blocker Rachel Tullos gave UH a 17-13 advantage.
