With a 1-0 victory, the Cardinals (13-2-2, 8-0-1) not only set a new program record for shutouts in a season but have repeated as Southland Conference regular season champions by clinching at least a share of the title. ... With Texas A&M-Commerce defeating Nicholls on Friday night and having another game on Sunday, the Cardinals now find themselves still up six points in the standings. A loss or a tie by TAMU-C against UIW on Sunday guarantees LU clinching the championship outright.
