LUBBOCK, Texas – September 3, 2016 – Playing Lubbock Christian University for the first time in program history, the Fort Lewis College women's soccer team was shutout on the road by the Chaps, 1-0.  The game marked the season opener for the Skyhawks.
 
"It was a fantastic game of soccer," said head coach Jimmy Hall.  "I thought the team played very well.  We created lots of opportunities and even scored a goal that was called back.  The team did a great job and Lubbock scored a really good counterattacking goal.  I think we were the best team on the field but they did score a very good goal on the counter and unfortunately we walk away without the result that we needed."
 
After one half of scoreless play, LCU's Hollie Windham broke the scoreless game in the 58^th minute for the final 1-0 result.
 
Both teams attempted 12 shots in the game with the Skyhawks edging LCU 6-5 with shots on goal.
 
Shayla Malecki led the Skyhawks with three shot attempts.  Malecki and Jenna Brown each tabbed two shots on goal. 
 
Kaylee Mickens played the first 45 minutes in goal, making three saves.  Britt Blomso played the second half between the posts, making one save and allowing one goal.
 
The Skyhawks will travel to Eastern New Mexico on Monday for a 1 p.m. match.
