A late first half goal evened the score at one at the break, but the Skyhawks took a lead in the 60th minute and held off a late Lady Chap attack in the LCU loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first period began with the Lady Chaps establishing their defensive presence, highlighted by <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/emma-wright\/5099\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5099\" target=\"_blank\">Emma Wright&#8217;s<\/a> save against a shot from Maleia Dayao in the 26th minute. Despite a solid defensive effort, Fort Lewis managed to take an early lead with a goal by Addyson Carpentier in the 16th minute, assisted by Dayao.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fort Lewis nearly doubled their lead in the 34th minute, forcing another save from Wright, but Lubbock Christian responded with increasing offensive pressure. <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/kaslee-roskelley\/5101\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5101\" target=\"_blank\">Kaslee Roskelley<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/logan-holloway\/5085\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5085\" target=\"_blank\">Logan Holloway<\/a> each attempted shots, with Holloway&#8217;s effort in the 35th minute being saved by Skyhawks goalkeeper Trinity Lujan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the period neared its conclusion, Holloway capitalized on an assist from <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/lauren-rotan\/5091\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5091\" target=\"_blank\">Lauren Rotan<\/a>, notching a goal with just six seconds left before the horn sounded to deadlock the game as the two teams broke for halftime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>FLC scored in the opening third of the second have as well, getting the game&#8217;s decisive goal in the 60th minute. A long free kick attempt from Amber Otts was put on frame and saved by Wright, but the rebound went right to Carpentier, who buried the eventual game-winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Lady Chaps&#8217; defense faced pressure but managed to hold firm, even as Fort Lewis attempted to extend its advantage. As the period progressed, the Chaps sought to equalize, with <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/araceli-patterson\/5152\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5152\" target=\"_blank\">Araceli Patterson<\/a> forcing a save from Lujan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There was nearly late-half magic again for LCU, whose best chance to score a second goal game in the 89th minute. A cross was played to the back post where <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-soccer\/roster\/maya-quinones\/5090\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5090\" target=\"_blank\">Maya Quinones<\/a> waited, but her header was saved by Lujan to preserve the Skyhawk win.<\/p>\n<p>GAME NOTES:<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8211; Holloway&#8217;s goal was the second of her collegiate career. She scored once as a freshman, hitting the game-winner against West Texas A&amp;M on Oct. 29.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8211; The Lady Chaps finished with four corner kicks and allowed just two from the Skyhawks. Last season they were 4-4-1 when drawing more corners than their opponents.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8211; FLC lost all five games where they allowed a goal in 2025. The last time they won a game when allowing at least one goal was Sept. 27, 2024, against CSU-Pueblo.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8211; The Chaparrals are now 10-6-1 in season-openers all time, and their last win in the first game of the season was in 2022.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8211; Rotan&#8217;s assist is the fourth of her collegiate career. She had two last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: Wayland Baptist University (Texas) 8\/30\/2026 | 7 P.M. &#13; Aug. 30 (Sun) \/&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":["post-420773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lubbock","tag-lubbock","tag-lubbock-headlines","tag-lubbock-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
