Laura Culhane scored in the 75th minute to snap a scoreless deadlock as the Marquette Golden Eagles handed the University of Houston women's soccer team its second straight 1-0 league loss on Sunday (Sept. 21) afternoon in Milwaukee, Wis.
Culhane was the beneficiary of an initial shot by freshman forward Beth McGill. McGill received a cross from sophomore forward Julie Thompson at the near post. McGill?s attempt from seven yards was stopped by Houston goalie Erin Ferguson. The rebound went to the near post, where Culhane found the ball and an open net from eight yards out.
Marquette outshot Houston in the second half, despite both teams taking five strikes on the net.
Houston nearly took the lead midway through the first half when forward Meghan Moreo fired a shot that made it past MU keeper Katie Bissen, but senior defender Lindsay Smale blocked the shot and prevented the goal.
Houston (2-5-1, 0-2 C-USA ) returns home to Robertson Stadium to host the East Carolina Pirates on Friday, Sept. 26, at 7:00p.m.
