HOUSTON – A pair of first-half goals set the pace as the Houston soccer team defeated the Temple Owls 3-0 on Friday afternoon at the Carl Lewis International Complex. 
 
An all-around performance, Houston (5-4-1, 2-4-0 AAC) led Temple (4-5-1, 2-5-1) in nearly early major statistical category.  The Cougars had advantages in shots, shots on goal, and corner kicks as they put the pressure on the Owls. 
 
Both Madison Gear and Caitlyn Matthews scored their first goals of the season in the first half to provide a commanding 2-0 lead at the break. It marked Matthews' first career goal and the third for Gear in her two seasons at Houston. Gear was also credited the assist on Matthew's score. 
 
With an assist on Gear's goal, Brascia notches her 14th career assist to cement her place in second across Cougars' history. 
 
Jazmin Grant tacked on an insurance goal in the second half with her fifth goal of the season. With the goal, Grant now has 19 in her career to tie Kristen Hogan for third in program history. Her 49 points are also third in the record books while her three shots and shots on goal put her in sixth-place for both categories.
 
Three goals on Friday bring the team's total up to 21, only two less than they had last season in a full 20-game season.
 
In net, Mikaela Gracia made her second career collegiate start and first since the beginning of February. The freshman from Mansfield, Texas, made four saves on the afternoon to bring her career total up to five. 

East Carolina 4, Tulsa 0 - Box Score
GREENVILLE, N.C. – A season-high in goals helped propel the East Carolina soccer team to a 4-0 Senior Night win over Tulsa on Saturday night in Johnson Stadium. ECU improves to 3-4-2 overall and 3-2-2 in AAC play while Tulsa is 1-6-0 both overall and in league games.
 
The Pirates were the aggressor in the early going, with much of their pressure resulting in corner kicks. ECU took seven corner kicks in the first 18 minutes and the seventh provided the breakthrough. Tori Riggs swung a cross towards the back post and Carsen Parker headed it towards goal. With the ball just in front of the goal line, Madie Knaggs was there to slam it home for the game's opening goal.
 
ECU continued to press forward, looking to double its advantage. The Pirates got what they were looking in the 29th minute. Cashlin Copley scrambled onto a loose ball outside the Tulsa box. Copley lofted a cross into the box and Annabelle Abbott was able to head it home. It was the first goal of Abbott's collegiate career.
 
Taking that 2-0 lead into the halftime, the Pirates were not satisfied and this time it was Copley who got the finishing touch. Parker found Copley in space near the top of the Tulsa box. Copley was able to control the ball and then tuck a low shot inside the goalpost to make it 3-0. Copley joined Knaggs in scoring after being honored on Senior Night.
