The LSU soccer team rallied behind senior midfielder Taryne Boudreau’s one-goal, one-assist performance to defeat the Houston Cougars, 2-1, Tuesday night at Robertson Stadium.
Playing its second game in Houston in four days — the first a 1-0 double overtime loss to Rice on Friday — the Tigers notched its second win of the season.
Boudreau put LSU in the lead during the 11th minute, taking a low pass from senior Allysha Chapman near the right post and netting it past Houston goalkeeper Cami Koski.
It was the first goal of the season for the senior from Alberta, Canada, but her contribution was not done yet.
Boudreau also helped produce the second goal of the night in the 73rd minute, essentially clinching the match.
After a high Boudreau pass into the box, senior midfielder Natalie Martineau claimed possession and found junior forward Carlie Banks in front of the right post for the score. Boudreau and Martineau were each credited with assists.

Houston only managed five shots on goal, as the Tiger defense kept the Cougar frontline at bay for most of the game. As a result, Isom only recorded four saves in the match.
