Softball evens up conference record by sweeping UConn

After a tough opening stretch in the American Athletic Conference, Houston got back to .500 with three wins over Connecticut.

“I love the way the girls responded today. It’s not easy winning three in a row. Probably could have done a little better this game, but we found a way to win,” said head coach Kristin Vesely.

The series started out with a short game, as the Cougars run-ruled the Huskies 9-0 in five innings.

Junior Lindsey Stewart got a leadoff single to start the first inning and then stole second to get herself into scoring position before redshirt senior Sarah Barker sent another ball sailing over the middle and Stewart used her speed to get home.
