Houston completes perfect weekend at home, Jackson leads Cougars with 26 kills
HOUSTON – The University of Houston volleyball team collected its third win of the weekend, and fifth in a row, defeating Oregon State in a five-set thriller Saturday night in Fertitta Center.
With the win, the Cougars (5-1) completed a perfect weekend in the 11th annual Fly Hyman Collegiate Cup thanks to 25-18, 25-19, 26-29, 23-25, 15-12 set scores and off the arm of senior Abbie Jackson's second double-double of the season, with 26 kills on a .312 clip with 17 digs.
Junior Kate Georgiades returned to her 20-dig total, the fifth match this year in the 20-plus dig range.
Â
Off the bench, graduate Isabel Theut racked up 16 kills in support of Jackson on a blistering .306 attacking percentage.
Â
Houston jumped out to a two-set lead after the first two sets, but Oregon State's adjustments made it difficult for the Cougars to score in vital moments of the third and fourth sets.
Â
In the fifth set, the Cougars jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but the Beavers clawed back at 9-9. At 10-10, Houston scored a pair of points and held off Oregon State's attempt to force extra points. Jackson's 26th kill of the night sent Cougar fans home happy.
