<\/p>\n LUBBOCK, Texas (September 19, 2026) \u2014 Lubbock Christian returned to the win column with a 4-0 against Sul Ross State on Saturday at the LCU Soccer & Track Complex. The Chaps recorded a shutout and finished with an 18-8 shot advantage, including 10-2 in shots on goal.<\/p>\n The Chaps wrap up non-conference play with a 3-3-1 record, while the Lobos suffered their sixth-straight loss to start the season\u00a0<\/p>\n The Chaps opened with attacking pressure, earning a corner in the fourth minute and getting shots from Joao Catafesta<\/a> and DePaula in the first 13 minutes of action. Milo Paci<\/a> kept the Lobos off the board with a save on Romain Bricier in the 20th minute, and the Chaps answered with another sustained push later in the half.\u00a0<\/p>\n Aron DePaula<\/a>, Adam Davison<\/a> and Lucas Carli<\/a> each forced saves from Fernando Hernandez between the 35th and 38th minutes before the Chaps finally broke through with less than five minutes before the break. A foul in the 18-yard box by the Lobos allowed DePaula a chance from the spot in the 42nd minute and the captain converted, giving the home team a lead they would not relinquish.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Chaps added three goals in the second half, turning their 1-0 advantage into a 4-0 final score. They generated steady pressure with four corner kicks in the first 15 minutes of the half and shots from Augusto Militao<\/a>, Alex Lachevre<\/a> and Jack Brassey<\/a>, with Lachevre forcing two saves.<\/p>\n In the 63rd minute, Junior Lopez<\/a> hit the top woodwork and RJ Rodriguez<\/a> collected the rebound and scored to double the LCU lead. The Chaps added another goal in the 71st minute when Lachevre sent a cross into the box that was misplayed.\u00a0<\/p>\n After Paci saved Leo Sanchez’s shot in the 73rd minute, DePaula finished a Joao Catafesta<\/a> assist in the 79th minute, and the Chaps closed out the shutout.<\/p>\n GAME NOTES: NEXT UP:\u00a0
