WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
- Freshman Abbie Jackson has made her presence felt on the court, surging as the one offensive leader for the Cougars. She's posted two 20-kill performances in her last three outings, including a career-high 25 kills in the win over McNeese (9/3).
- Commanding the Houston offense has been a familiar face in junior setter Abby Irvine, who has set and tied a career-high 49 assists. Having averaged 9.00 helpers per set to this point, Irvine is on pace to post a career-best in that category.
- In her collegiate debut against Arizona State (8/31), freshman middle blocker Rachel Tullos put together one of the best blocking performances in program history. Her 12.0 total blocks not only rank tied for second all-time in four-set match, but her five solo blocks is tied for third-most in a single match.
