LAST TIME OUT
The nation's top-ranked DBU Women's Soccer team added another historic chapter on Wednesday, capturing the Lone Star Conference regular season title and rewriting the school record books with their 15th straight win—an emphatic 11-0 rout of Sul Ross State in Alpine, Texas. The victory marked the longest winning streak in program history and DBU's sixth LSC regular season crown since joining the conference in 2019.
 
Seven different Patriots found the back of the net in the offensive showcase, as DBU stormed ahead early and never looked back. The Patriots wasted little time asserting control, racing to a 3-0 lead in the opening 24 minutes on goals from Anne Louthan, Parker Coe, and Riley Olsen.
 
After halftime, the Patriots unleashed one of their most explosive scoring stretches of the year, striking six times in the first 15 minutes of the second half. McKenna Vela headlined the barrage with her first career hat trick, scored in just a 10-minute span, while Isabella Medina capped the match with a goal in the final 40 seconds to punctuate DBU's record-setting performance.
