GAME SUMMARY
The Dallas Baptist Women's Soccer Team concluded the regular season with a 3-2 victory versus Lubbock Christian on Saturday afternoon. The triumph for DBU (13-3-1, 7-1) improves the team two wins greater at this point than the previous season, and extends a season-best, nine-game winning streak.
 
The Patriots took advantage of an early goal moments after kickoff, as junior Ashley Cox got by the keeper on the outer left portion of the box and finished the open netter. Shortly after the home squad doubled its edge in the 24^th minute after fellow classmate Emilie MacDonald reclaimed the team-lead in scoring with goal number nine.
 
Lubbock Christian (11-6, 6-2) would not go quietly, with Claudia Sanchez earning her 13^th scoring result at the 23:05 mark. It was a finisher off a previous shot by Brooke Wendl that rocketed off the crossbar and just missed.
 
DBU added to the edge in the second half, but the Lady Chaps countered with a goal and narrowed the match to 3-2. Senior Lea Sedwick notched her fourth netter of the year, completing a header from Cox on the left side.
 
The Patriots posted a couple more shots than LCU, reflecting a 16-14 difference. Weather was a factor in this one, as increasing winds in the second frame made it difficult at times for both squads.
 
Junior Lindsey Eccles paced the squad with five shot attempts, and placed two on goal, and Cox was right behind displaying four. Three of her efforts reached the target, giving her a .750 percentage.
 
Freshman Leah Draper also fired a multi-shot affair with two.
