Season

February

The Cougars opened their season with a three-game series against Minnesota. The Cougars, ranked 8th in the nation, swept the Golden Gophers over the three game series. Houston outscored Minnesota 14–1 over the first two games of the series, and won the third game on a walk-off to complete the series sweep. [2] The Cougars also had an 11–5 win over Texas Southern the following Wednesday (after it was pushed back from Tuesday).

On the second weekend of the season, the Cougars hosted 30th ranked Alabama. After winning the first two games of the series, the Crimson Tide salvaged a win in game three, thanks to 14 hits. [3] On February 25, the Cougars took their second straight loss, this time on the road to Texas State.

The Cougars closed out the month with a four-game series against Columbia. Houston was subject to a major upset in the second and fourth games of the series and ended up splitting the four game set with Columbia, the two time defending Ivy League champions. [4] The losses, coupled with the loss to Texas State earlier in the week, caused the Cougars to drop to #12 in two of the major polls.
