KICKOFF
Dallas Baptist University continued its dominance against ranked teams with a 2-1 upset over No. 18 St. Edward's on Thursday, October 15. The win marked the first time the Patriots have swept the Hilltoppers in the regular season under the leadership of head coach Michelle Lenard.
 
Senior forward Ashley Cox scored the game-winning goal in the 55th minute by way of a misplaced header off a St. Edward's defender. Senior goalkeeper Jenna Ackerly saw only five shots and two shots on goal courtesy of a stingy Patriot defense.
 
DBU looks to keep its seven-game unbeaten streak alive against Lubbock Christian at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 22, at Patriot Soccer Field.
 
PATRIOTS RETURN TO TOP 25
DBU's win over St. Edward's vaulted the Patriots back into the NSCAA Top 25 at No. 14. The Patriots previously appeared in the first poll of the season after a 2-0 start, including a win over No. 4 Colorado School of Mines.
 
SUCCESS AGAINST RANKED TEAMS
The Patriots are 4-1 against Top 25 teams this season including wins over No. 4 Colorado School of Mines, No. 14/18 St. Edward's and No. 24 Texas A&M-Commerce. Their one loss came against No. 17 Angelo State.
 
ACKERLY ALSO IN TOP 25
Ackerly continues to be among the nation's elite goalkeepers, ranking ninth in Division II in save percentage (.901) and 21^st in goals against average (.596). She also leads the Heartland Conference in total saves (73) and shutouts (8).  
 
SCOUTING THE CHAPS
Lubbock Christian is 5-0-0 in Heartland Conference play, but four of those wins have come against the bottom four teams in the conference table. The Chaps enter Thursday's match with an eight-game unbeaten streak.
 
LCU features senior forward Brooke Wendl, who leads the Heartland Conference in virtually every offensive category. Wendl ranks first in shots (65), points (23), goals (9) and game-winning goals (4). In a 7-1 win over the University of the Southwest, she scored four goals, which ranks fourth in the nation for single-game goals.
