Lubbock Christian University Women's Soccer

Caldwell enters his second season at the helm of the Lady Chap Soccer program after a successful high school coaching career and serving as an assistant for the LCU men's program for a season.  In his first season, Lubbock Christian posted an 8-5-3 record, including a 6-5-2 showing in Lone Star Conference play. Seven LCU players earned various All-Conference awards, including four members of the All-Freshman Team.  Caldwell joined the LCU men's soccer coaching staff prior to the 2023 season, while remaining as the head girls soccer coach at Lubbock's Coronado High School. In a little over seven years as the head coach, Caldwell has led the program to five District titles, five Bi-District, five Areas, five Regional Quarterfinals and four Regional Tournament appearances. With the girls program, he has a record of 145-37-14. In 2024, Caldwell led the Mustangs to a 21-3-4 record and a regional semifinal appearance.    During his lone season as goalkeeper coach for the LCU men's program, Caldwell was crucial to the success of All-LSC Second Team goalkeeper Tom Miles. Miles finished the season with 89 saves, the sixth most in NCAA Division II and the most in the Lone Star Conference. Miles recorded six shutouts and made 5.56 saves a game, 12th most nationally. The Chaps finished the season with a 6-4-7 record and went 2-3-4 in Lone Star play.    Caldwell is no stranger to LCU, as he was the starting goalkeeper and Captain for the men's program during their inaugural season in 2010. That season, the Chaps finished 10-5-2, and recorded five shutouts. Caldwell was the starting keeper in LCU's first ever game, a 3-1 victory over Southwest. He also recorded the first shutout in program history on Sept. 1, 2010, picking up two saves in a 1-0 win over McMurry.  The Kilmaurs, Scotland native graduated from LCU in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in physical education. Prior to that, he was the starting goalkeeper at Eastern New Mexico University, where he now holds a master's degree in Sport Administration.   Caldwell came through the youth ranks of Kilmarnock FC and represented Scotland at U15 and U18 levels. Professionally, he spent time as a Goalkeeper for Ayr United in the Scottish First Division, while also being a part of their Youth Academy. Caldwell and his wife Lacy, who is a former starting goalkeeper for the Lady Chaps, reside in Lubbock with their children, Callum and Arran Kate.

Fralick joins the LCU coaching staff in the spring of 2024 following a successful tenure coaching club soccer in West Texas. The Lubbock, Texas native graduated from Texas Tech in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology. During his time at Texas Tech, Fralick was a member of the TTU Club Soccer Team and competed in two national championship tournaments.   “My ultimate goal as a coach is to develop and guide players that are able to handle both the game and life within a player-first environment ,” said Fralick. “To create an atmosphere where players come first by being challenged, having fun, and learning how to deal with varying games and real-life situations is the most important aspect of my craft. I am very excited to be associated with a school and staff such as Lubbock Christain University and I cannot wait to elevate the game in the city I have always called home,” Fralick stated.   During the previous two years, Fralick served as a coach for FC Dallas WTX and Sting WTX (club soccer teams in West Texas).
