Houston opened up conference play Thursday evening at the Carl Lewis Complex but fell to USF in a 3-1 decision.
The first half was nothing short of a struggle for the Cougars.
The Bulls came out and put up six shots all within the first eight minutes of the match. USF was the first to score, taking the lead within the first nine minutes of the game.
Senior forward Desiree Bowen and junior midfielder Mia Brascia each followed with a shot of their own, but they could not find a way to get the ball in the net.
