HOUSTON - Play began for the Cougar tennis team the Tigers of LSU, but due to rain action had to be delayed until Wednesday afternoon when the two teams will resume their matches at 1 p.m.
The location of the match will be determined based upon the weather. If it is nice enough to play outside then the match will be concluded on the John E. Hoff Tennis Courts on the University of Houston main campus. If it is raining, the matches will be moved indoors and a location will be announced prior to the match's start time.
