21	LCU held Cameron to 21 kills. The total is the lowest amount of kills produced by an LCU opponent since Texas A&M International had 20 kills on Sept. 29, 2018.
12	The Lady Chaps 12 aces tied for the fourth most since 2008 (last time with 12 aces was Sept. 22, 2018 against Northwestern Oklahoma State, 12) and the 12 aces in a three-set match are tied for the third-most since 2008 (last time LCU had 12 aces in a three-set match was the same Sept. 22, 2018 match against NWOSU).
