RICHARDSON, Texas (March 10, 2026) - Lubbock Christian University senior right-handed pitcher Aaron Rubio was named the Lone Star Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday. 

This is the first time this season a Chaparral has been recognized with one of the league's weekly awards. 

Rubio tossed a three-hit shutout with seven strike outs on the road against No. 13 Angelo State. Rubio walked just one batter over the seven innings of work and only one baserunner made it to third in the 4-0 win for the Chaps. The Rams hit just .130 against him and he complete his second start of the season. 

The Nevada native lowered his season ERA to 2.97 in the start, which is the lowest in the Lone Star Conference among qualified pitchers. He is 3-1 on the mound and has allowed just 10 runs in 30.1 innings of work while striking out 26 batters. Opponents are batting just .210 against the righty.
