UH soccer starts off season on fire vs. Houston Baptist

The Houston soccer team kicked off the 2021 season with a dominant 3-1 win over the Houston Baptist Huskies (0-1-1) on Thursday evening.

The Cougars (1-0) took control of the game early on and never relinquished the lead in what turned out to be a straightforward performance.

Three first-half goals and a stout second-half defensive performance proved to be the difference as the Cougars outshot the Huskies 14-3, and had six corner kicks compared to the Huskies’ one.

“I think we started the game out really good,” UH soccer head coach Diego Bocanegra said.
