Cougars split games against ranked opponents on Opening Day

Houston started off its season with a 4-3 comeback win against No. 13 Kentucky and a 5-1 loss to No. 22 Oklahoma State.

“I think we did well. Our expreience played a vital part in taking down a top 15 team,” said head coach Kristin Vesely. “We get to face (Kentucky) again tomorrow, so it will be really interesting to see how we respond and if we can beat them twice.”

Senior pitcher Savannah Heebner started the game against Kentucky and had an off night, as she allowed nine hits and three runs, but she made up for it at the plate.
