FH Rochester

Rochester, N.Y.- In an evenly played contest the Highlanders lost their fifth game of the season to the University of Rochester, 2-0. The game stayed scoreless throughout the first half of play.

It was not till nine minutes into the second half when Rochester pulled into the lead with a goal from Rochester's Krista Butler who made a scramble goal in front of the net.

Butler closed out the scoring for U. of R. finishing a cross from Amanda Case with two minutes left in regulation for her second of the day.

Sr. Kirsten Mazzeo (Braddock, NJ) managed to tally five shots for the game giving Houghton some much needed offense today.

The Highlanders record moves to 6-5 for the season with their next game being away against NCAA Div. III opponent St. Vincent College on October the 17th at 3:30 pm.

Houghton College has deep and solid roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play and in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and unique

emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference for the Kingdom on campus, in Allegany County, in the Northeast and around the world. Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door for Houghton to be a leader, both in the Northeast and nationally, in character education. Through hands-on, innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and student-athletes are working together to change the culture of sport and to change our culture through sport.
