Incarnate Word got things started early, recording its first shot just 40 seconds into the game. Fortunately for Houston, freshman goalkeeper Koral Hughes, who played all 90 minutes for the Cougars, stopped the ball from finding the back of the net.
Hughes recorded her second save of the night 12 minutes later after an Incarnate Word shot on goal to bottom center was put a stop to by her.
