AUSTIN, Texas – With the pressure of being the first athletic program at The University of Texas to play with a "SEC" patch on its uniform, the Longhorn women's soccer program earned a 1-0 over a former Big 12 Conference foe in the Houston Cougars on Thursday night to open the 2024 regular season.
And much like the 2023 season, the 2024 campaign started off with a Lexi Missimo goal — the 45th of her Texas career — and 27th in her last 25 matches wearing the Burnt Orange.
The scoring sequence occurred when Trinity Byars received a pass 10 feet beyond the midfield stripe less than 10 minutes into the match.
