Golden goals lifts Cougars to first conference win

Thanks to overtime heroics from senior defender Nolin Packer, Houston defeated ECU in overtime by a score of 1-0 to give the Cougars their first conference victory of the season.

The UH offense came out firing, putting up five shots in the first 20 minutes of the match.

Their defense started the match equally as impressive, not allowing the Pirates to take a shot until the 26th minute of the match.

ECU developed their tactics into the match, slowly pushing the ball inside of Houston’s box and to get their first shot of the game.
