The senior goalkeeper posted a season-high save total and earned her second clean sheet of the year. Wright, a former Longview Lady Lobo, moved her personal record to 3-1-2 on the season. The draw keeps Lubbock Christian unbeaten in conference play.
The Lady Chaparrals sit at 4-1-2 overall and 1-0-2 in conference, a mark that reflects a defense leaning hard on its keeper right now. Three ties in seven games says as much about the team's identity this season as any win would.
For fans around Lubbock Christian, this is a program grinding out results instead of blowing teams out, and Wright is the reason those results stay competitive. A shutout on the road against a conference opponent matters more than the scoreline suggests. It buys the offense time to find its rhythm.

Ten saves, zero goals, three ties. Wright's stat line right now looks more like a wrestling match than a soccer season.
