How It Happened
Set One:
After an opening-serve point to the Eagles, LCU responded with an 8-0 run. A serving ace by
Chloe Menard provided LCU a lead they wouldn't relinquish. A 6-2 OC surge cut LCU's lead to 11-8, but LCU countered with a 10-2 run en route to a 25-14 set win. LCU hit .419 in the opening frame and
Jenna Lyons led the squad with four kills.
Set Two:
LCU ran away with the second set, opening the frame with a 7-1 run behind four UAFS errors. The Lady Chaps later used another 7-1 run, and scored the final seven points, to run away with a 25-9 set win. LCU produced a .500 attack percentage in the set, with
Jenna Lyons leading LCU in the frame with three kills on four attempts.
Set Three:
Parker had four aces in the third set, and they were all part of an 8-0 run in which she had eight consecutive serves. The run helped LCU rebound from a 5-4 deficit, providing a 12-5 lead. OC cut the gap to 14-10, but LCU closed the set outscoring OC 11-5 for a 25-15 set win. Mayo posted five kills for LCU, who held a 12-5 kill advantage over the final set. LCU had five aces in the set.

Zoe Parker served a career-high five aces, which ties as the fourth most by a Lady Chaps member since 2008 and ties for the third most for three-set matches over the same period. Maddie DeGuire was the last Lady Chap to accomplish Parker's achievements, as DeGuire last had five aces on Sept. 22, 2019 (vs. Angelo State). DeGuire posted six aces on Sept. 22, 2018 (vs. Northwestern Okla. State), which was the last time a Lady Chap had at least five aces in a three-set match. |
