WASHINGTON (September 14, 2019) – Howard University women's soccer team wraps up its brief two-match homestand when Virginia Military Institute (VMI) comes to The District Sunday (Sept. 15). Match time is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Greene Stadium.
 
Fans can follow all the action via live stats.
 
LAST TIMEOUT
 
Friday (Sept. 6), the Bison opened the homestand by knocking off Robert Morris, 2-1, at Greene Stadium.
 
At the 37-minute mark, sophomore Arianna Morgan (Oklahoma City) found junior Elexa Pierson (Kansas City, Mo.) for a shot, but RMU recovered; however, third-year forward Bayley Carmichael (Houston) cleaned up off the ricochet and gave the Bison a 1-0 advantage.
 
After intermission, sophomore Thalia Boucher (Toronto, Canada) provided an insurance goal at the 57-minute mark and gave HU a commanding 2-0 lead.
 
MATCHUP PREVIEW
 
HOWARD
 
HU (2-1) looks to remain unbeaten at Greene Stadium (2-0). Currently, the Bison are riding a four-match home winning streak at The Hilltop since last year. This season, three Bison have scored a goal, including match-winners from Boucher and Morgan. Senior goalkeeper Alayah Hightower (Largo, Md.) has registered 12 saves on the season.
 
VMI
