Houston’s season was ended by SMU with a 3–0 score in its season finale, and the team was knocked out of the American Athletic Conference Tournament for the fourth season in a row.
SMU improved to 16–0–2 against UH and eliminated the Cougars from playoff contention for the second year in a row.
Defensively, Houston found success in minute 14 with its first save by senior goalkeeper Rachel Estopare.
SMU continued its attack well into minute 18, but a stop by junior defender Nolin Packer briefly turned momentum to UH’s favor.
Despite the shift, the Mustangs got right back to their offense-heavy game plan with a shot that hit the pole just a minute later.
