Records: Lubbock Christian (7-3-3, 5-2-3), Rogers State (7-5-2, 3-5-2)

LCU HIGHLIGHTS
- Defense was a point of emphasis for Lubbock Christian University Saturday afternoon as the Chaparrals outlasted the Hillcats on the way to a 1-0 victory.
- Braxton Thorne walked away with his sixth shutout of the season while converting seven saves against Rogers State.
- Saturday's match closed out the home portion of the Chap schedule. LCU will finish the season with a 4-2-2 mark at home. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- In the 56thminute, Conner Dean stepped up with an in-swinging corner kick that found the head of Ivan Muanze-Bengono. Muanze-Bengono climbed high to redirect the ball past the RSU defense for the first goal of his Lubbock Christian career.  

GAME NOTES
- Inclement weather leading up to the match forced LCU head coach Paul Gilbert to relocate to Texas Tech University's John Walker Soccer Complex.
- Lubbock Christian improves to a 5-2-3 Heartland Conference record and a 7-3-3 overall record.
- Although a win helped boost the Chaps in conference standings, it was also special for LCU's five seniors who were honored for senior day.
