Cougars defeat the Huskies 3-0 in exhibition

QUOTES FROM COACHÂ
"We're always happy to get a win. It's a good starting point for us, and exhibition games are just that. We're looking at new players that just joined the team, we're looking at how well they play with each other and different combinations, and we're looking to implement our style of play. I thought we had a lot of good moments and this early in the season that's all we can really ask for." said Head Coach Diego Bocanegra.
HOW IT HAPPENEDÂ
- The match was played in three 30-minute periods, instead of two 45-minute halves.
- Reid Morrison scored the first two goals of the match, both of which were assisted by Natalie Anderson.
- Desiree Bowen, with an assist from freshman Brielle Maloney, scored the third and final goal of the match in the early minutes of the third period.
- 23 different Cougars saw action in the exhibition match, including five of the seven newcomers of the 2019 signing class.
OTHER NOTABLES
- Houston is now 1-1-1 in exhibition matches under Bocanegra.
