M. Abu-Tayeh extends point streak to six games
HOUSTON, Texas – Marshall women's soccer (4-11-0, 2-5-0) fell at Rice, 2-1, as the Owls scored the game winner with under five minutes left in the game on Friday night in Houston.
"I thought we played well in segments, both offensively and defensively," Marshall head coach Kevin Long said. "At times we moved the very well, but in the end we give our opponents really small gaps where they were able to capitalize."
Lindsay Langley made three crucial saves in the first four minutes of play to keep the contest scoreless early.
Marshall began the game with the opening goal in the 17th minute as Marah Abu-Tayeh scored her seventh goal of the season on an assist by Farah Abu-Tayeh. M. Abu-Tayeh extended her point streak to six games with the goal.
Langley stepped up again for the Herd as she saved a penalty shot the next minute to keep the lead at 1-0, which was Marshall's lead at the half.
Rice wasted no time getting back into the match as Haley Kostyshyn tied the game with a goal just over a minute into the second half.
Langley would make three saves after giving up the goal, but shortly after the third Izzy McBride found the back of the net for the game winner with just over four minutes left in the game.
NOTES
M. Abu-Tayeh has a team-leading seven goals this season.
Langley made seven saves in the contest.
MU had 13 shots in the game, with three coming on goal.
