UH tennis bounces back in home opener against Louisiana Monroe

UH Tennis found its groove in the home opener against Louisiana Monroe after suffering a tough loss a week ago at the hand of No. 13 Texas A&M, they defeated the Warhawks 5-2 Friday morning at the Barbara Wallace Winston Tennis Facility in Houston.

The morning kicked off with doubles play, where the Cougars got off to a sweeping start with all three pairs winning their matches to get the point for UH.

Sophomores Laura Slisane and Blanca Cortijo Parreno teamed up to defeat the Louisiana Monroe pairing of junior Jimena Paula Garbino and senior Madalina Grigoriu 6-3, while sophomore Gabriela Giraldo and freshman Elena Trencheva did the same in their match to lock up the doubles point.
