UTEP's Laura Hamson tallied a hat trick, scoring the game winner in the ninth minute and two more goals in the 65th and 85th minutes. Jami Tullius added a pair of scores, and Jordan Freiberg scored once.

The Cougars (4-10-2, 0-6-1 C-USA) tallied 10 shots with Lynn Baker (Orland Park, Ill./Carl Sandburg HS), Christine Nieva (Mesquite, Texas/North Mesquite HS/Arizona State) and Jessica Rathweg (Spring, Texas/Klein HS) each notching a pair.

Baker had UH's best chance at a goal on the night after her breakaway shot clanked off the post just after halftime.

The Cougars close out the 2007 campaign on Sunday at noon against Colorado College at the Carl Lewis Complex.
