Cougars tie best six-game start in program history with Sunday victory
HOUSTON– Five second-half goals led the University of Houston Soccer program past Louisiana Tech, 7-1, to tie its best six-game start in program history (2021) on Sunday afternoon at the Carl Lewis International Complex.
Houston (5-0-1) was led in scoring by seven different Cougars, led by Nadia Kamassah with three shots. Houston outshot the Bulldogs 24-7, with 14 shots on goal.
Louisiana Tech (2-3-1) got on the board early in the seventh minute as Lauren Egbuloniu scored the lone goal for the Bulldogs.
The Cougars quickly found the equalizer in the 11th minute with senior midfielder Caitlyn Matthews setting up the assist and junior defender Sofia Weber heading the ball into the net. This marks Weber's second goal of the season.
With 1:02 left in the half, junior defender Alexis Fowlkes broke the stalemate, scoring her first career goal to give the Cougars the 2-1 lead going into halftime.
Junior midfielder Juliet Moore began the counterattack for the Houston, setting up the assist for graduate forward Allie Byrd to open the scoring in the second half.
In the 63rd minute, freshman midfielder Aryanna Jimison chipped the ball toward senior forward Maddie Bowers, who scored her first goal of the season to extend the lead to 4-1.
Three minutes later, Kamassah found the fifth goal of the match for Houston, assisted by sophomore forward Cameryn Maddox and freshman midfielder Talia Feigin.
With less than three minutes left of action, Feigin and Jimison joined in on the scoring action, earning their first career goals to seal the victory for the Cougars, with Jaden Masters, Charlotte Richardson and Cassidy Hoang registering their first career assists.
Making her fifth start of the season, sophomore goalkeeper Olivia Dietrich brought her season save total up to 23 with one save in the match.
Freshman Kyrsten Kizer picked up a yellow card in the 30th minute and Louisiana Tech's Josie Studer was sent off with a red card in the 70th minute.
