UH soccer continued its undefeated run in conference play as they defeated American Athletic Conference rival No. 15 SMU with a final score of 1-0 on Thursday night in Dallas.
The first half of the game started with high pressure from SMU, testing the Cougars’ defense early.
The first shot on goal came from an SMU freekick in the 15th minute which was saved by UH redshirt freshman goalkeeper Mikaela Gracia.
Then in the 22nd minute, UH was awarded a penalty after a late foul in the box from SMU redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Tatum Sutherland on graduate student forward Zionah Browne.
