HUNTSVILLE – The Sam Houston soccer team battled No. 26 Liberty to a scoreless draw Sunday at Pritchett Field, halting the Flames' winning streak and handing the nationally ranked squad its first Conference USA draw of the season.
The Bearkats (5-5-5, 1-4-2 CUSA) delivered a strong defensive performance against Liberty (13-2-1, 6-1-0 CUSA), holding the Flames scoreless through 90 minutes. Goalkeeper Hannah Stipp recorded 11 saves while facing 18 shots, including 11 on goal, to help secure the shutout.
Sam Houston recorded 10 shots, putting seven on target. Siera Herbert and Ashtyn Magnuson led the Bearkats with two shots on goal each, while Lily Sargent-Burns and Hailey Christian also put attempts on frame.
Liberty held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks, but the Bearkats' defensive effort secured a valuable result against the nation's No. 18 team, ending the Flames' unbeaten conference run.
