Senior Maya Thomas will be starting for a fourth year and is expected to be a big contributor. | Thomas Dwyer/The CougarAfter a disappointing loss in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional ended their 2018 season, the Cougars are looking to start the new year off right in the team’s five-game opening weekend at the Houston Invitational.
Houston will host a doubleheader against Kentucky and Oklahoma State to kick off the invitational Friday afternoon.
