WHERE THE HEART IS
Lubbock Christian is currently 4-2-2 at home after going 4-4-1 at the friendly confines last year. This is the final game at home of the 2026 season, and if LCU wins it will be their most home victories since 2019, when they won a program-high eight. The LCU Soccer & Track Complex was completed in August of 2020 and features an AstroTurf playing surface, a Musco lighting system to allow for night games and stadium seating for 500 fans. LCU's women's team has an all-time record of 74-38-25 all-time in home games. They have only posted losing records at home twice in 15 seasons. They did not lose a home game in 2015 (7-0-2).
 
LOOKING AT THE LONE STAR
With just two games left in the regular season, reigning league champion Dallas Baptist is atop the standings with 34 points and an 11-0-1 record. Texas Woman's is right behind, followed by Midwestern State with 31 points. If MSU and DBU both win Saturday, then the matchup between the two teams next Tuesday will decide this year's league title. The Lady Chaps currently find themselves in seventh place, three points ahead of UT Dallas and just a point behind West Texas A&M. The top eight teams by points at the end of the regular season will advance to the LSC Tournament. The seven seed will host the eight seed for a play-in game on Oct. 30 to start the postseason.
