<\/p>\n SAN ANTONIO (September 23, 2026) \u2014 Lubbock Christian lost to St. Mary’s 4-1 on Wednesday at Sigma Beta Chi Field. The Chaps put 10 of their 12 shots up in the second half, but were held scoreless after halftime.<\/p>\n The Chaparrals are 3-4-1 overall and 0-1-0 in conference play. StMU is 5-3-0 overall and 1-0-0 in conference play.<\/p>\n Joao Catafesta<\/a> put the Chaps in front first in the eighth minute, finishing an assist from Aaron DePaula for a 1-0 lead. The Rattlers answered just three minutes later to tie the match, and the Chaparrals then spent much of the half defending pressure, with Milo Paci<\/a> saving shots in the 22nd and 34th minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Chaps also navigated a physical stretch with fouls on Junior Lopez<\/a>, DePaula, RJ Rodriguez<\/a> and Jack Brassey<\/a> between 27:45 and 40:21 while keeping the match within reach. StMU hit the woodwork at 34:00 and scored on a Chaparral miscue shortly after, taking a 2-1 lead into the break.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lubbock Christian spent much of the second half pressing while down 2-1, but StMU scored twice in the final 10 minutes to close out a 4-1 result. Early in the half, DePaula and Oliver Robinson generated early shots for the Chaparrals, including Robinson’s effort off the top woodwork in the 53rd minute, while Paci made a save on Kai Louviere in the 57th.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Chaps kept the pressure on from there with five shots and a corner between 59:13 and 66:42, with DePaula forcing a save and Thomas Unwin, Alex Lachevre<\/a>, Augusto Militao<\/a> and Robinson adding attempts. The half turned more physical after that stretch, and the Rattlers broke through at 80:48 on Dyllan Mendoza’s goal from Louviere. Ricky Alvarez added a goal in the 87th minute for StMU, and the half ended with the Chaparrals held scoreless in the segment.<\/p>\n GAME NOTES: NEXT UP:\u00a0
