DALLAS (October 17, 2026) — Lubbock Christian lost to DBU 2-0 on Saturday at the Patriot Soccer Field. The Chaps were held scoreless despite 14 shots, including five on goal, while the Patriots scored both goals in the second half.

The Chaps are 6-8-1 overall and 3-5-0 in conference play. The Patriots are 6-3-5 overall and 2-1-4 in conference play.

Lubbock Christian kept the first half scoreless despite extended Patriots pressure, with Milo Paci making five saves before halftime. The visitors actually took the first shot through Augusto Militao in the opening minute, and Joao Catafesta added another attempt in the ninth before Paci stopped Patriots shots in the sixth and 10th minutes. 

The Chaps answered a Patriots shooting stretch with chances from Militao and Oliver Robinson, then Alex Lachevre forced a save at 26:10 and the visitors earned a corner kick seconds later. The Patriots pressed again late, hitting the left woodwork at 32:45 and putting two more shots on frame, but Paci kept the half clean and the Chaps reached halftime with the match still scoreless.

LCU generated several looks of their own early in the second half, including shots from Robinson in the 57th, 59th and 66th minutes and a Jack Brassey attempt in the 63rd that Sean Mattivi saved. The Chaps also held the Patriots off the board through a run of pressure from 67:48 to 78:25 that included multiple shots and corner kicks before the Patriots scored shortly after. DBU broke through in the 79th minute when Chase Turcotte scored off assists from Erik Oliveira and Caleb Centeno, putting the Chaps behind 1-0 after a scoreless stretch. 

After falling behind, the Chaps pushed back with shots from Austin Randriamahefa and Augusto Militao, a corner kick, and Finn Wijnen's saved attempt in the 87th minute, but the Patriots added a Caleb Centeno goal at 89:42 to finish a 2-0 result.
