In the second match of the weekend in Houston, Texas on Saturday the Cougars were again defeated by the Mustangs of SMU. With Sarah Borwell out again the Cougars took another loss, but this time by a smaller margin, 2-5.
The duo of Jen Baccarani and Jo Keene won the No.1 doubles match for the day 9-8. Jen Baccarani also won her singles match against Kit Carson 6-4, 6-2. Analia Longoni took her second win of the weekend in three sets 2-6, 6-4, 10-5 against Allison Leuszler.
