• LCU celebrated Senior Day during halftime of Thursday's game, as Mickey Brunton, Cameron Lugo and Cedric Omoregie each played in their last home game as a Chap.
• The Chaps are now 20-16-2 all-time in Heartland Conference contests and 8-9-2 all-time in Heartland Conference home games.
• Erwin Regules assisted on Madzikatire's goal, providing the freshman his first collegiate assist.
• ENMU extended their all-time series record to 5-2-3 over LCU and they completed the season series sweep with the win.
