SAN ANGELO, Texas - After a defensive battle, the Angelo State women's soccer team was able to come out with a point after drawing 1-1 with Lubbock Christian Saturday afternoon  inside of the Legrand Soccer Complex.
 
The Rambelles move to 1-2-3 on the season and move to 0-1-1 in Lone Star Conference play.

Melyna Martinez would see her first action of the game in the 12th minute when she recorded her first save of the day off of a Kali Guy shot.

LCU came out firing in the second half, recording their first shot in the first 43 seconds of action.
 
In the 69th minute, the Lady Chaps tied the match 1-1 when Mia Chambliss found the back of the net off a great pass from Duschka Diaz.

Hear from Travis McCorkle: Q: What are some strategies that you think worked well with the ASU team? A: I think that the physicality for Lubbock Christian was something that we discussed at halftime, and the way they play is direct. I felt like we did good with the physicality in the second half, winning the headers, but sometimes we didn't, and I felt like there was a sense of panic. It's a lot of young players, a lot of returners from last year, but some of them are new to starting. We have a lot of freshmen and new players on the team,and we are trying to help them adapt to the style of that play. I think that we need to be better at attacking, if that is servicing the wings or opening up and combining with the forward a second time. In the final third, we have to do better with the quality of our shots.
