ORLANDO, FLORIDA (October 20, 2008)The University of Houston soccer team fell 6-0 to Conference USA-rival UCF on Sunday, closing out a four-game road trip in Orlando, Fla.

Houston (5-9-1, 1-6-1 C-USA) wrapped up its second-straight two-game, road weekend with a 1-1 split.

Sophomore Islara Rodriguez paced the Cougars with five shots in the contest, while fellow sophomore Lauri Byrne ripped a pair of shots.

Senior goalkeeper Shelby Scott tied her season high in saves with 11, but the Knights’ offensive barrage was too much to overcome.

Brianna Schooley scored a pair of goals and assisted on two others to lead the Knights, while teammate Yvonne George also found the back of the net twice against UH.
