HUNTSVILLE - Sam Houston State Freshman Britni Martin scored the first goal

second half to cut the Cougar lead to 2-1. She took a pass from Deanna Long
and buried in the 56th minute. The Kats had two other chances to even the
scored before the Cougars went up 3-1 in the 69th minute on a goal by Riley
Canfield.

Houston scored a pair of goals in quick succession in the first half. After
playing 20 minutes of scoreless soccer, Christine Nieva broke the ice with
goal in the 21st minute. Three minutes later, Jessica Zavalza scored to put
Houston up 2-0. The Cougars outshot SHSU 25-13.

In the 82nd minute Zavalza was given a yellow card and three minutes later
was sent off the pitch with a red card. Lynn Baker was also yellow carded in
the 34th minute for Houston.

The Bearkats will be back in action Sunday when they take on Prairie View
