Despite Houston finding itself on Friday night in a 0-2 hole against SMU and on the verge of a sweeping loss, UH stormed from behind to win three straight sets and its American Athletic Conference opener at the Fertitta Center.
The game started off with a back-and-forth battle for points as both teams fought to gain an early advantage. The Mustangs, however, were able to pull away towards the middle of the first set and won it 25-15.
The second set was dominated by SMU as they jumped out to an early lead and never looked back.
