Houston Soccer to Travel for Thursday Road Test

HOUSTON – Houston Soccer (9-1-1) will travel to Tampa to take on USF (7-2-1) for its second American Athletic Conference test of the season.

The Cougars began conference play at home earlier this month by defeating UCF 1-0 at the Carl Lewis International Complex. Since the conference opener, Houston has played two non-conference matches before resuming its conference schedule this week.

With a successful season thus far, the program has seen its players gain recognition in the national rankings. Goalkeeper Mikaela Gracia is currently tied for a fifth-place standing for her efforts in the net which have resulted in six total shutouts. Fellow teammate Zionah Browne is also posted on the national leaderboard tied for 11^th with seven assists.

Houston is coming into Thursday with a recent 8-1 home-field defeat of Arkansas Pine Bluff under its belt. The Cougars will not be back at the Carl Lewis International Complex until Oct. 10 for a Sunday 12 p.m. match against conference opponent ECU.
