LAREDO, Texas (September 23, 2017) – Sophomore Cio Bargallo broke the school record for most multi-goal games in a season as the Texas A&M International University women's soccer team dropped a 4-2 decision to Lubbock Christian in front of 125 fans at Dustdevil Soccer Field.

LCU retook the lead right before halftime when Haley Knesek headed home a corner near post from Kate O'Gara at 42:04. It was the 2016 Heartland Conference Freshman of the Years' first goal of the season. The Lady Chaps added another in the 65^th minute making it 3-1 heading into the final 25 minutes of the match.

With all of the momentum on their side, TAMIU pushed numbers forward in search of an equalizer before LCU added an insurance goal in the 89^th minute to secure the 4-2 win.
