HOUSTON, Texas — The Lobos certainly made the Houston Cougars work for everything on Saturday, as the Cougars defeated UNM 4-0 in a match that was much closer than that final score.<\/p>\n
The loss was UNM’s first of the season, dropping the Lobos to 3-1. Houston moved to 6-0 with six 4-0 wins. However, UNM was never out of this one until the final volley.<\/p>\n
In doubles, the Cougars took a pair of matches to go up 1-0, but singles was much closer. The Cougars got a pair of straight-set wins at Nos. 5 and 6 singles to move to 3-0, but everything else was tight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eventually, the Cougars clinched the match at No. 2 singles as Chems Doha Zeghlouli won in three sets over freshman Vianca Corley<\/a>, winning 6-1, 4-6, 6-2. UNM’s Yu Yun “Kathy” Tsai<\/a> was about to force a third set, and Ana Veroux<\/a> was in a third set as UNM was close to becoming the first team to score on Houston this year.<\/p>\n The Lobos head to the Pacific Northwest next weekend to take on Idaho, South Dakota (at Idaho), and Gonzaga.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOUSTON, Texas — The Lobos certainly made the Houston Cougars work for everything on Saturday, as the Cougars…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,30327,30328,2383,14843,30326],"class_list":["post-155631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-lobos","tag-lobos-athletics","tag-new-mexico","tag-new-mexico-lobos","tag-university-of-new-mexico-athletics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
