Late rallies propel Lady Chaps to win over old rival
PLAINVIEW, Texas (September 29, 2015) – Less than two points separated the first three sets between Lubbock Christian University and Wayland Baptist Tuesday night at the Hutcherson Center before the Lady Chaparrals wrapped up set four to take the match victory (26-24, 23-25, 26-24, 25-20) of the old Sooner Athletic Conference rivals.
