HOBBS, Texas (September 30, 2013) – Lubbock Christian University received multi-goal performances from Brooke Wendl and Claudia Sanchez, and the Lady Chaparrals closed out their pre-Heartland Conference schedule with a 6-1 victory over University of the Southwest (N.M.) Tuesday night at Watson Stadium on the campus of Hobbs High School.

LCU cruised early and used Sanchez's first goal 9:20 into the contest to take away the home momentum from the Mustangs. Wendl followed with her first goal of the game in the 17th minute and it marked her 30th career goal. In the 30th minute, Wendl was involved in a collision with USW goalkeeper Korie Sorheim and Sorheim would leave the game. The Mustangs were already down one goalkeeper, so they had to rely on Mia Camacho, a positional player, to fill in at goal the rest of the way. LCU led 2-0 at the half. They could have possibly led by more, as they were whistled for 14 offsides in the opening half.

The Lady Chaps opened the second half scoring 3:36 into the half with Ashley Ledford finding the back of the net from eight yards out on the right side for her second goal of the season. Leading 3-0, the Lady Chaps would put the game out of reach with a trio of goals scored in a span of less than 13 minutes. Sanchez received a through-pass from Kristin Fellows and turned it into a breakaway conversion for her fifth goal of the season and second of the game. The goal came in the 58th minute and Sanchez has scored all five of her goals this season against USW. Wendl would follow 2:20 later with her eighth goal of the season and her second of the game by winning a scramble in the box and beating Camacho for a 5-0 advantage. Boone would close LCU's scoring with a successful penalty kick attempt in the 71st minute. Lady Chaps goalkeeper Lauren Story was unable to protect a clean sheet in the game, as a hand-ball in the box led to a USW goal by Rachelle Felix on a penalty kick in the 76th minute.

Story would end the game with four saves off five shots faced and would garner the win to improve to 5-2-0 on the season. The loss for USW went to Sorheim, who went to 2-2-0. She allowed two goals on three shots on goal. Her replacement, Camacho, allowed four goals on five shots faced.

LCU out-shot USW 17-5 in the game, with a 9-2 advantage in the opening stanza. The final offsides count was 16-0 advantage against the Lady Chaps. Wendl was credited with the game winning goal for her 11th program career leading game winner.

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.

The win places LCU with a record of 5-3-0 to enter conference play Monday at home against Texas-Permian Basin. They are now 6-1-0 all-time against USW and the meeting was only the second game of the series USW has hosted. The Mustangs fell to 2-3-1.
