SCOUTING HOUSTON
The Cougars (14-7) enter Friday's matchup coming off consecutive losses to SMU and Rice, but own a 7-3 record in matches played away from their home courts this season. Houston won three of its five matches against league opponents during the spring, including Tulane, Cincinnati and Wichita State. In doubles, Mimi Kendall-Woseley and Phonexay Chitdara are ranked 69th nationally.
LAST TIME THEY MET - MARCH 19, 2021
Tulane had its eight-match home winning streak snapped in a 4-1 setback against the Cougars at the City Park Tennis Center.

THE DOUBLES POINT
The Green Wave are 12-3 this season when winning the doubles point and 1-5 when they do not. Tulane's lone win without the doubles point came in the 4-3 victory at Florida Gulf Coast on March 31.
