LADY CHAPS FLIGHT DECK
- Riding a two-match win streak, the Lubbock Christian University women heads to Wichita, Kan. for a Heartland Conference battle against Newman University. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Wilkins Field.
- Hollie Windham and Makenna Pate have led the offensive charge for the Lady Chaparrals as of late. Windham heads into Thursday's matchup as LCU's leading scorer with four goals. Pate is responsible for 10 points after recording three goals and four assists.
- Hannah Wise is coming off of back-to-back shutout wins where she converted three saves on nine shots faced.
 
STORY LINES
- Katie Pullano has captained a stingy Lady Chap defense that allowed two shots in their last outing, a 1-0 victory over Texas A&M International.
- Lubbock Christian is still searching for their first road win of the 2018 season where they hold a 0-3-0 record in away contests.
- As the Lady Chaps are the only team to hand Newman a loss this season, LCU head coach Alex Denning and his squad will look to complete the regular season sweep over the Jets.
- With nine conference points, the Lubbock Christian women currently reside in the fifth-place position of Heartland Conference standings. A win over the Jets coupled with a loss or tie from Rogers State would help propel the Lady Chaps into the fourth-place spot.
 
SCOUTING NU
- Newman has been very successful in the attacking third recording 26 goals for the season for a 2.6 goals per game average.
- Grace Linton leads the Jets squad with eight goals and ranks fourth in the nation with four game-winners.
- NU sits two points ahead of the Lady Chaps, with 11 conference points, to fulfill the Heartland's third-place position.
- Despite their prolific offensive prowess, Newman has been held scoreless in their prior two contests which have each ended in a 0-0 draw.
- Jackie Lari has played and started in all 10 of the Jets contests this season compiling 28 saves for a .875 save percentage. Throughout her seven wins, Lari has recorded six shutouts while allowing four goals.
