Western Kentucky soccer ended a four-game road stretch on Sunday at Rice with a 1-0 loss. A penalty kick by the Owls midway through the second half proved to be the difference in the match.
The Lady Toppers fall to 8-6-1 on the season and 4-4 in Conference USA. Sunday’s match was the second of a Texas trip this weekend for WKU that saw the Lady Tops face two of the toughest teams in the league in North Texas and Rice.
Early in the match, WKU was active early with four shots within the first five minutes of the game.
