•    Brooke Wendl has eclipsed the 30-goal mark in her LCU career, as she had a pair of goals Tuesday at Southwest (N.M.) to give her eight goals on the season and 31 in her career (LCU's career leader). She also recorded her fourth game winning goal of the season to increase her LCU career lead to 11 on the season.

•    LCU notched some record numbers in their 6-1 in Hobbs last Tuesday. The six goals were the third most goals scored in a road game in program history and the most since registering 10 at Dallas Christian on Sept. 13, 2010 (they scored 11 in a contest against Wiley College on Sept. 3, 2012, but that was a neutral site game). LCU had 17 points (tied for fifth most in program history), and five assists (fifth most in program history) to get into the single-game leaderboard. Emily Odom had a pair of assists to tie a program single game mark, which has been done now 17 times.
•    Lubbock Christian University Lady Chaparrals goalkeeper Lauren Story was honored Wednesday as the Heartland Conference Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week. Story went 2-0-0 on the week playing in all 180 minutes of action in road wins over Texas-Permian Basin (2-0) and University of the Southwest (6-1). The junior stopped all shots faced, outside of a penalty kick against Southwest (NM). In 180 minutes, she notched her career program leading 10th shutout, stopped all seven shots faced and even garnered her first offensive point by assisting on Brooke Wendl's game winning goal in their win at Texas-Permian Basin. Story ranks third in the conference with a 1.10 GAA this season. She also ranks second in the conference in shutouts (3) and shutouts per game (0.38).
