Cougars seek to stay undefeated at home against Huskies
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Softball team returns to American Athletic Conference play hosting UConn for a three-game series beginning Friday, April 12.
Houston enters this weekend looking to continue its trend of success it's had over UConn, as the Cougars have won eight of the past 10 games against the Huskies. That 10-game stretch has seen a pair of run-rule victories for Houston, including a 22-0 route in 2017.
The 22 runs scored occurred the last time the two teams played each other at Cougar Softball Stadium, which set a program record for most RBIs in a game with 21. In the six games played at home, Houston has never dropped a contest against UConn.

Barking at the Opposition
With three American Athletic Conference Weekly Honor Roll honors already under her belt, senior outfielder Sarah Barker has put together a senior year to remember, emerging as one of Houston's most lethal weapons in the lineup.
She not only leads the Cougars and ranks fifth in the conference with her .371 batting average, but has batted a scorching .444 in her past 10 games. During that same stretch, she has also posted a .704 slugging percentage and reached base half of the time with her .500 OBP.
Win the State
Houston has proven its worth as one of the best in the entire state, having posted a 9-1 record this season against Texas schools, with matchups against Texas State and Sam Houston State remaining the on the schedule.
The Cougars won their first nine games of the season against Texas schools before dropping its contest with No. 11/11 Texas (April 10). By the end of the season, the Cougars will have played 12 games versus opponents from the state of Texas.
Midweek, Full Success
With a total of 10 midweek games on their schedule this season, the Cougars haven't let up in their midweek competitions, as Houston possesses a 7-1 mark in games played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Some of Houston's biggest wins of the season have come in midweeks, taking down RV/RV Texas A&M before traveling to Waco, Texas, and sweeping the doubleheader against RV/-- Baylor.
