Just a few days after shutting out Sam Houston State 3-0 Thursday night to open up the 2019 season, Houston found itself on the losing side of a shutout after being blanked by Rice with the same score Sunday at Holloway Field.
The Cougars looked to defeat the Owls for the first time since Oct. 2008, but instead Rice won its second consecutive game over Houston and its sixth overall.
Despite having only two fewer shots than and the same amount of shots on goal as the opposition, UH could not find the back of the net throughout the 90 minutes.
