HOUSTON- The University of Houston soccer team will return home after its first Conference USA road trip to host East Carolina at 7 p.m. on Friday and Marshall at Noon on Sunday at Robertson Stadium. The match-up between the Cougars and the Thundering Herd was initially scheduled for 1 p.m., but due to travel accommodations the match was rescheduled to Noon.

"We are excited for this weekend," head coach Chris Pfau said. "We are back at home and the weather is looking great. We have to continue to get points at home, so at the end of the season we are not in a panic."

The Cougars are coming into this weekend with a 4-5-2 overall record and are 0-1-2 in Conference after suffering their first conference loss this past Friday to No. 10 UCF. The Knights came out shooting and got an early 2-0 lead. Houston came out of the half ready to work and got off some good looks, but it wasn't enough and UCF would hold on for the victory. Junior keeper Cami Koski got the loss, despite having a career-high 13 saves on the game.

In the second match of the road trip, Houston was to face off with Southern Miss, but due to inclement weather in the area the match-up was postponed and rescheduled for 1 p.m. on Oct. 28 in Hattiesburg, Miss.
