HUNTSVILLE — Needing a win to have a shot at making the Conference USA Tournament, UTEP gave Sam Houston its best shot Saturday at Pritchett Field.
The Bearkats didn't falter and knocked the Miners out of postseason contention with a 0-0 draw to close out the regular season. Sam Houston (5-6-4 overall, 3-3-2 CUSA) has earned the No. 5 seed in the league's postseason tournament which begins Wednesday in Ruston, Louisiana.
The Kats split time in goal between keepers
Libby Harper and
Savannah Hall, and both played well behind a stout defense that didn't allow the Miners any real scoring opportunities. Sam Houston allowed only three shots on goal, two saved by Hall and the other by Harper, and allowed just six shots in total.
The Bearkats also had six shots, and four of those were on goal as UTEP keeper Angelina Amparano was able to keep Sam Houston off the scoreboard.
The Conference USA Tournament bracket has yet to be announced.
