Stephen F. Austin closes its regular season Thursday at East Texas A&M, with a chance to extend its winning streak to three and pull even with the Lions in the Southland standings. The Ladyjacks have allowed just one goal in their past two matches, while East Texas A&M is unbeaten in five straight.

By the Numbers
  • SFA has outscored its last two opponents 4-1.
  • The Ladyjacks have scored 21 of their 29 goals after halftime.
  • Alyce Chappelle leads SFA with 9 goals; Allyson Reed leads East Texas A&M with 7.
  • East Texas A&M leads the series 4-2; both teams have scored 9 goals across the six meetings.
  • SFA has 9 Southland points, 3 behind East Texas A&M and Nicholls.
Yes, But

SFA can match its longest winning streak of the season, but East Texas A&M brings a five-match unbeaten run and home-field advantage. The Lions have also won the teams’ most recent meeting, 1-0 in 2025, and can secure a conference tournament berth with a win.

State of Play
  • Kickoff is Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. CT at Lion Soccer Field; the match will air on ESPN+.
  • A win would bring SFA level with East Texas A&M at 12 conference points.
  • The Southland Conference Tournament is scheduled for Nov. 10-15 at Lion Soccer Field.
What's Next

The regular-season finale could shape the Ladyjacks’ position heading into the conference tournament. SFA needs a win to draw level with the Lions, while East Texas A&M can clinch a postseason spot with a victory.

Bottom Line

SFA’s defensive improvement and late-game scoring give it momentum, but Thursday is a consequential road test: a third straight win would move the Ladyjacks even with East Texas A&M in the standings.
