Matthews earns two assists to highlight first win of Frias era
HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Seniors Madison Dichiara and Janna Singleton led the way for the University of Houston Soccer program which used a 2-1 victory to notch the first win of the Jaime Frias era Sunday afternoon against Sam Houston at Pritchett Field.
The Cougars (1-1-1) outshot the Bearkats (0-3) 14-9 for the afternoon, including a 9-6 advantage on net. Houston looked to get on the board early in third minute when midfielder Samantha Wiehe's shot attempt was saved by Sam Houston's goalkeeper Tatum Krueger.
Following a free kick for the Cougars, senior midfielder Dichiara found the back of the net off a header, assisted by midfielder Caitlyn Matthews in the 41st minute to give Houston a 1-0 lead.
Shortly after the start of the second half, senior forward Singleton scored her second goal as a Cougar in the 46th minute following on Matthews' second assist of the afternoon.
Sam Houston's Kailey Pena scored the Bearkats lone goal of the match in the 67th minute following a Cougar foul just inside the 18-yard box which awarded the Bearkats a penalty kick.
UP NEXT
The Cougars return to Houston for their home opener 7 p.m., Sept. 1, against future Big 12 Conference opponent Baylor at the Carl Lewis International Complex.
