CLAREMORE, OKLA. – The Rogers State women topped Lubbock Christian Saturday at Soldier Field with a 1-0 victory over the Lady Chaparrals.
The lone goal of the contest came in the 56th minute on a free kick by Veronica Subu from 45 yards out. The junior from Henderson, Nev., put the ball on the backside of the box and into the lap of Tara Garrett who quickly blasted the ball into the upper 90 of the goal.
