LUBBOCK, Texas (September 25th, 2024) -- Lubbock Christian and Dallas Baptist finished in a 0-0 tie Wednesday at LCU Soccer & Track Complex after a hard-fought battle by both teams.

Since the inception of the program in 2010, Lubbock Christian has recorded 11 of these ties, with five of them coming in the last two seasons. Furthermore, the Chaparrals had a record seven ties last season and seem to have carried that tendency into this season.
