UC-Riverside was a tough match-up and shows that, while the Coogs have improved, they’ve still got some work to do to get up among the top programs in the country. Need to bounce back Sunday.
_UP NEXT: _ The Cougars play host to UTSA at 7 p.m., Sunday. Sunday’s match is Hispanic Heritage Night, the first 100 UH fans will receive free ice cream and can receive autographs from the team post game.
Coogs get back to winning and shutout UTSA. We’ve also matched our win total from last year. However, Rachel Estopare (Goalie) was injured and may be out for awhile. They’ve ruled out a fractured neck and the hope is just a sever bruise of her neck.
Junior Vanessa Almaguer and sophomore Desiree Bowen scored to lead Houston Soccer to a 2-0 victory over UTSA on Sunday night at Carl Lewis Complex. With the win, the Cougars improved to 4-1-1 and grabbed their fourth shutout of the season.
_UP NEXT: _ The Cougars will have Senior Day at 7 p.m., Sept. 23 as they play host to New Mexico State. The Cougars will honor three seniors, Shayne Clewett, Tiffani Echeverria and Courtney Dudley.
