Houston Hosts PVAMU for Thursday Contest

HOUSTON – Winners of its last three matches, the Houston Volleyball team looks to carry that momentum into Thursday's contest, as the Cougars close out their homestand hosting Prairie View A&M inside the Athletics/Alumni Center.

The Cougars have won each of their past three matchups with the Panthers, having only dropped one set during that stretch.

Last time out, Houston took down back-to-back Sun Belt Conference Champion Stephen F. Austin in its doubleheader matchup with the Ladyjacks. After winning the first match, 3-1, Houston swept through SFA in the second contest in dominating fashion, winning 25-16, 25-14, 25-14.
