_OPPONENT PREVIEW _ Incarnate Word (0-1) Cougars lead the series 1-0 Last Meeting: UH won 4-0, Sept. 4, 2015 Goals for: 4, Goals Against: 0
Friday will serve as a home opener for the Cardinals, who are coming off a 4-0 road loss against North Texas.
Texas State (2-0) Cougars lead the series 7-2 Last Meeting: Texas State won 2-0, Aug. 21, 2015 Goals for: 14, Goals Against: 11
Prior to hosting the Cougars on Sunday, the Bobcats will travel to McNeese State on Friday. Texas State is currently 2-0 with two shutouts in wins over Lamar and Prairie View A&M.
2-0 win - 1st road win since Aug 2014 and halfway to 2015’s win total.
First decent test against TX State (RPI#104) on Sunday. TSU (RPI#290) and UIW (RPI#310) were nice warm ups, but we should see what this team is made of against The Bobcats. Don’t have to win, but need to keep it close on the road.
Coogs drew with Tx State 0-0. Good result for the Coogs against a team that was #104 in the RPI last year, beat us 4-0 at home, and started this year with 2 wins. Also the 3rd straight shutout.
Looks like our soccer team may actually be respectable this year. Go Coogs!
_UP NEXT: _ The Cougars will host Samford for their first meeting in program history at 1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 4. Every Sunday at the Carl Lewis Complex is Sundae Sunday with the first 100 UH students receiving free ice cream sundaes. Sunday also serves as Elementary School Day. Group rates will be offered for those who wear their elementary school t-shirts to the game.
Another early test as Samford went 14-5 last year and was ranked #74 in the RPI. Hopefully the team can continue playing well and get another good result.
