Houston fell to UConn in a 2-1 overtime decision Thursday evening at Dillon Stadium in only their third game in conference.
Houston attacked the Huskies early on with two shots within the first 12 minutes. A pass from junior forward Amy Nyugen connected senior forward Desiree Bowen with the net for the first score of the game just inside the 14th minute. The Cougars did not stop there, totaling five shots and five corner kicks to control the lead 1-0 to end the first half.
The second half started off rocky for Houston while UConn remained in control of the ball for the first five minutes and tying the score quickly 1-1 just inside the 49th minute.
