Keeper Mikaela Gracia earns second clean sheet of the season
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Soccer program earned another season win by defeating Lamar 3-0 on Thursday at the Carl Lewis International Complex. The Cougars have improved to 4-0-1 on the season which is the best start since 2016.
Â
Goalkeeper Mikaela Gracia earned her second clean sheet in a row by shutting out the Cardinals (1-3-0) with her impressive performance in the net. This is also her second clean sheet of the season. Similar to her performance on Sunday, in 90 minutes of time in the net, she recorded one save.
Â
Redshirt freshman Nadia Kamassah, with an assist by graduate student Zionah Browne, did not waste any time getting a score on the board. The pair worked together to score within the first minute of the match. Kamassah now has two goals on the season after scoring her first to seal the win in extra time at McNeese.
Â
Redshirt senior Mia Brascia saw 81 total minutes of play to add to her 309 total minutes in the last four games. She added an assist to her season statistics as well which aided senior Emma Clarke with the second goal of the match shortly after halftime in the 47th minute.
Â
Browne later added another assist to her tally when she passed the ball to sophomore Janna Singleton who scored the game finisher, and her first goal of the season, late in the 86th minute. Singleton made her Houston Soccer debut on Sunday against Houston Baptist. Â
Â
Houston was able to keep Lamar from getting any score on the board resulting in the second 3-0 shutout in a row this season.
UP NEXT
Houston will be back at the Carl Lewis International Complex on Sunday to face Louisiana Lafayette at 1 p.m. The match was originally scheduled to take place in Lafayette, but due to the effects of Hurricane Ida, the game has been moved to Houston. Fans can enjoy the match on Sunday free of charge and are welcome to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.
