GAME NOTES• The loss places LCU's all-time postseason record at 0-4. The prior three appearances have been in the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament (2010, 2011, 2012). This season marked LCU's first season eligible for postseason play since transitioning to NCAA Division II. LCU has made the conference tournament in every year eligible in program history.
• Friday marked their sixth shutout loss of the season (six of LCU's seven losses on the season have been via shutouts). The loss was LCU's first ever loss in a neutral site game (2-1-0) therefore their first shutout loss in a neutral site setting. The shutout loss was their second shutout loss in a postseason game in program history.
• The contest not only closes out the season with LCU ending the season 8-7-3, but closes out the LCU careers of eight seniors. Castellano,

Kristin Fellows each dressed for a final time in a Lady Chaps kit. Wendl, a four-time All-Conference selection highlights the crew, leaving as the program's all-time leading scorer with 47 goals and 29 assists for 123 points in 67 games.

• It was a tough ending for LCU offensively, as the team, entering the game leading the conference in scoring (2.3 goals per game), was held to one goal over the final five games of the season.

• Each team had seven shots. It marked the second time this season LCU matched their opposition in shots and it was their first loss when doing so (0-1-1).
• SEU opened the game's scoring. LCU finished the season 2-7-1 when their opponents score first and were unbeaten on the season when scoring first (6-0-2).
• LCU falls to 0-4-0 against SEU in the all-time series. SEU has shutout LCU in three of the meetings and has only allowed one goal to the Lady Chaps all-time.
