LCU women's soccer ends season at regional

[November 05, 2013]  The Lincoln Christian University women's soccer team hosted the 2013 NCCAA Mid-West Regional Women's Soccer Tournament on Friday and Saturday. In their first-round matchup, they squared off against Grace Bible College from Grand Rapids, Mich. The visitors pulled away in the second half to win 7-0.

In a rematch of a game that took place earlier this season, when LCU dropped to Grace Bible College 12-1, LCU was able to hang tight with Grace in the first half, going into intermission only down 2-0. However, Grace came out and took the game in the second half, as they rattled off five more goals. LCU senior goalie Ashlan Rose (Chatham/Glenwood High) recorded 22 saves on the day.

LCU ends their season with a 6-7 mark, which has been a remarkable turnaround from where the program was two years before. In the last three seasons, the LCU women's soccer program went from a 1-12 record, to a 4-9 record in 2012 and now a 6-7 record this season. As LCU graduates eight seniors, they will be looking to rebuild next fall.
