HOUSTON - Junior Hannah Dauzat scored three goals to lead the Houston Soccer team to its first victory of the season Friday night at Carl Lewis Complex, beating Texas Southern 3-0.
HAT TRICK HANNAH
Dauzat got the Cougars on the board early to open the season. The Cypress, Texas native grabbed the first goal of the season at the five-minute mark striking the right side of the net off a pass from junior Georgi Dolence. Picking up where she left off in the first half, Dauzat netted another goal to the right side after an assist from teammate Selena Peters in the 51st minute. Dauzat wasn't done for the night. At the 64th-minute mark Peters found Dauzat again for their second connection of the night striking past the Tiger goalie to put the Cougars up 3-0. Dauzat's three goals ties her for second in program history in most goals scored in a game, last occurring by Courtney Gaines against Texas Southern in Sept. 6, 2006.
NEWCOMER SHUTOUT
Arizona transfer Rachel Estopare impressed in her first appearance for the Cougars in the net. The Bend, Ore. native, captured her first shutout with one save. The sophomore grabbed her first win of her colligate career.
HELPING HAND
Two Cougars helped Dauzat achieve her hat trick. Peters garnered two assists, tying her for third in most assist per game, last occurring in Sept. 12, 2010 by Sami Sackos against Texas Southern. The 2015 assists leader, Dolence tallied her first assist of the season on Dauzat's first goal.
The Cougars now lead the series 6-0 against the Tigers with 55 goals for and 1 against.
