Cougars defeated by Crimson Tide, look to Sunday doubleheader
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Tennis program competed in Tuscaloosa on Friday in its second consecutive road trip in two weeks. The Cougars fell to the Crimson Tide, 1-6.
Â
In doubles competition, two of Houston's pairs put up a strong fight but fell to the Alabama pairings. This left the third match unfinished.
Â
The Cougars earned their one point of the match when Maria Dzemeshkevich defeated No. 101 nationally ranked Loudmilla Bencheikh. She completed her match against Bencheikh with scores of 7-5, 7-6 (7-5)
Â
Houston will return home on Sunday for a doubleheader at the Barbara Wallace Winston Tennis Facility.
