Cougars capped a historic season in the third round by falling to one-seed Stanford
STANFORD, Calif. – The #23 (5) University of Houston volleyball team had its historic season come to an end with a straight-set loss to #5 and one-seed Stanford on Thursday night at the Maples Pavilion in California.
Houston (30-4, 19-1 The American) reached new heights in the 2022 campaign, including posting its first NCAA tournament win since 1994 and winning its first conference championship since 1999.
Graduate Isabel Theut led the Cougars with nine kills, while graduate Kortlyn Henderson tallied a .357 hitting percentage with seven kills. Junior Kate Georgiades paced Houston with nine digs, while sophomore Kellen Morin posted a team-best four blocks.
SET ONE
Houston started hot, using a 3-0 run to jump to a 4-1 lead. The Cougars kept their foot on the gas, eventually extending their lead to 18-10. However, Stanford wouldn't go quietly. The Cardinal bounced back with a 10-1 run to take a 23-22 lead and eventually won the set, 26-24.
SET TWO
Stanford kept the momentum in the second frame, using another 10-1 run to cement a lead it would never relinquish. The one-seed took the second set, 25-16, pushing their lead to 2-0.
SET THREE
Stanford and Houston traded points to start the third, however Stanford would end up with an 8-7 lead after 15 points. The Cardinal strung together a few runs while holding off the Cougars to take the set, 25-17, and the match, 3-0.
