HOUSTON - Sophomore Desiree Bowen netted her seventh goal of the season on an assist by junior Selena Peters in the 33rd minute of play, but the University of Houston Soccer team fell 4-1 to Tulsa in American Athletic Conference action Thursday night.
Tulsa got on the scoreboard early in the first half, when Rachel Thun struck a ball into the lower 90 in the 25th minute of play.
With 17:36 left on the clock in the first half, the game was suspended due to lightining for 30 minutes.
Returning to the field Houston found its offense and was able to climb back into the game when Bowen connect off a slotted ball from Peters to spin on a Golden Hurricane defender to find the right corner of the net. The Suwanee, Ga. native notched her 13th career goal and seventh of the year, while Peters contributed with her fifth assist of 2016 and seventh career dish.
The Cougars used both goalkeepers in goal as Rachel Estopare made the start and tallied seven saves in 78 minutes of action and was relieved by freshman Nicole Young, who notched one save in 12 minutes of action.
