Goals by Wesley DeMarco and Marc Billiot
Comments from Coach Bryan Sherman: "The team followed up a tough loss on Tuesday night with a great overall team performance on Friday. Two first-half goals set the tone for the team and we were able to comfortably see out the game and get the win.

Jan. 22 at Houston Christian*, Cooper 1 • Houston Christian* 2 loss
Comments from Coach Amber Clevenger: “Friday's game was nothing short of a heartbreaker. Bella Camarata and Isabel Sands combined again for a great goal in the first half. Although Brittany LaVergne made some great saves they were able to sneak 2 goals in, the 2nd goal came with only seconds left in the game.”
