Despite its strong start, Houston fell to the New Mexico State Aggies 10-8 on the final day of the Boyd Gaming Classic in Las Vegas.
The loss snapped Houston’s 11-game winning streak, leaving the Cougars weekend record at 4-1 and its overall record at 16-5.
Houston saw early success when senior center fielder Lindsey Stewart singled to eventually score, followed by a grand slam from graduate transfer second baseman Becca Schulte to put the Cougars up 5-0.
Houston continued to pile on the runs as Stewart blasted a three-run home run to close out the top of the inning with eight runs for the Cougars.
