Cougar Tennis Hits the Road for Southeastern Louisiana

HOUSTON, TEXAS (April 7, 2009) The 2009 season is entering its home stretch for the University of Houston tennis team as they hit the road on Wednesday to face Southeastern Louisiana at 1 p.m. in Hammond, La., before returning home Friday to host Prairie View A&M in their final regular season match, which is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

The Cougars enter the week with a 16-3 overall record and a 3-1 mark in Conference USA play as they make their final preparations for the upcoming 2009 Conference USA Tennis Championships, which will take place on the campus of Rice April 16-19.

The two matches this week will also give UH the chance to improve its seeding at the C-USA Championships and possible lock up an opening round bye.

After facing Southeastern Louisiana Wednesday, the Cougars return to John E. Hoff Courts on Sunday and will honor their three seniors on this year's roster. Jordan McCombs, Vicky Simpson and Lynley Wasson will all be taking their home court for the final time in their UH careers.

Head coach John Severance is also approaching a personal milestone as he enters the final few two matches of the regular season needing two coaching wins to tie former UH coach Cathy Beene for the most coaching victories in school history.
