HOUSTON - Despite junior Judith Hagedorn and freshman Annie Goodrich each posting 7-5, 6-4 wins in singles, the Rice women were edged by Houston 4-3 Friday at Chancellor's Recreation Center.
Hagedorn defeated Karine Urbin at number two, while Goodrich downed Jen Baccarani at number four. Senior Erin Waters had a fierce battle with Sarah Borwell at number one singles, but Borwell was able to rally for a 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 win.
Hagedorn and freshman Karen Chao teamed for Rice's only victory in doubles, downing Baccarani and Kailey Meisinger 8-6 at number three. The Cougars grabbed wins at the one and two positions to claim the doubles point.
Friday's match was moved indoors due to inclement weather in the Houston area.
