LCU HIGHLIGHTS
• Lubbock Christian University extended their win-streak to three games following a 2-0 win over Texas A&M International Thursday afternoon at LCU Soccer Field.
Claudia Sanchez led the LCU women with four of the Lady Chaparral's 15 shots for the day.
• Both of Lubbock Christian's goals in the match came unassisted, as Erika Aviles and Claudia Sanchez took care of the scoring. Aviles' game-winner stands as her first goal of the season. Sanchez now has three goals in the 2017 campaign.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• Aviles struck first from the far-right side of the field on a shot that took a hop over the TAMIU goalkeeper 4:24 into the match.
• Sanchez wrapped up the victory in the 56th minute with a finish from just outside of the six-yard box.
 
GAME NOTES
• Lubbock Christian takes the win and moves to a 5-3-1 record in Heartland action and an 8-4-1 record overall in 2017.
• The Lady Chap's two goals mark the second time this season that LCU managed a victory without an assist.
• Lubbock Christian's defense held Heartland Conference leading goal scorer Cio Bargallo to a single shot on the day. Bargallo had scored in three of her prior five games heading into Thursday's match against LCU.
• The 2-0 victory marks the eighth shut-out of the season for Lubbock Christian keeper Hannah Wise and the Lady Chaparral squad. The Lady Chaparrals are averaging 1.62 goals per game on offense, while holding opponents to a .62 goals per game average on the defensive end. Wise's performance is her third consecutive clean sheet.
• LCU now stands with 15 points in conference standings moving them into the third-place position. Head coach Alex Denning and his team are now two points shy of the second-place spot and three points behind first place Dallas Baptist in the conference standings.
