• Kwame Adu-Wusu's first career goal turned out to be the game winner following a late flurry of goals by USW.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• LCU produced three goals in the first half and had to overcome a 1-0 deficit after the Mustangs received the first lead 5:17 into the game off an "own goal."
• Hopkins converted on a cross from Hansen in the 7th minute (48 seconds after USW's goal) to tie the game at 1-1. The two connected again in the 76th minute, which built LCU's lead to 4-2.
• 4:48 following Hopkins' second goal, the eventual game winning goal was scored by Adu-Wusu, on a header off a pass by freshman Jacob Zapata.
 
GAME NOTES
• The Chaparrals improved to 5-0-0 all-time in home openers and 5-1-0 in season openers.
• Hansen recorded his second two-assist game of his LCU career and it ties a program record, as the two-assist mark has been accomplished 21 times.
• The goal scored by Hansen came off a penalty kick in the 25th minute. It was his first goal and penalty kick attempt with LCU. The Chaps only had one penalty kick attempt last season.
