Houston sweeps Wichita State at home, bouncing back from Tulsa upset

Houston bounced back from the loss against Tulsa with a three-set sweep of Wichita State on Sunday afternoon at the Fertitta Center.

The Cougars got an early lead in the first set and stayed ahead throughout.

A kill from senior outside hitter Megan Duncan gave Houston a four-point lead, and they were able to use the momentum to close out the set with a 25-19 win.

The Cougars had no first set hangover as they quickly built a 10-6 lead.

A kill from sophomore middle blocker Isabel Theut helped UH stay ahead in the middle of the set, and an ace from senior outside hitter Claire Karsten gave Houston breathing room when Wichita State got within striking distance to take the lead.
