COMMERCE, Texas – The A&M-Commerce soccer team held on for a 2-1 victory over Emporia State on Sunday afternoon, their third victory through their first four games of the year. On Tuesday, the Lions turn their attention to Lubbock Christian, a match slated to begin at 3 pm at Lion Soccer Field.
 
Quotable
- "Lubbock is similar to Emporia in the sense that they have dangerous players up front and they come at you. They are coming back from a trip to Colorado, and we know how that feels. They could be reenergized, or they could be tired. I expect an open game." – Lion head coach Neil Piper
