HOUSTON - The Houston Soccer team will hit the road for its first away match of the season to face McNeese State, Sunday at 1 p.m., in Lake Charles, La.
The Cougars are fresh off a 0-0 (2 OT) draw at home against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Friday, in which seven newcomers saw action for the first time in red and white.
Junior-transfer Jordan Brown saw all 110 minutes in goal while collecting three saves. Brown, a League City native, has not missed a single minute of action in 38 total games at Houston and Tennessee Tech.
McNeese State picked up its first win on opening night with a 1-0 victory over Prairie View A&M. Senior midfielder Krista Steinbeiser notched the game winning goal for the Cowgirls in the 23rd minute.

The Cowgirls return nine starters from 2013, including leading goal scorer Tori Lasiter. Lasiter found the back of the net five times last season, four of which proved to be game winners for McNeese State. She also led the team in points (10), shots (34), and shots on goal (13).
