LADY CHAP NOTES
- LCU was one of 13 unbeaten teams this season before falling 3-2 Sept.14 to UT Permian Basin. The season start was their best since opening 2010 with an 8-0 record. The loss also ended an eight-match win streak if you include their season-ending win last season (their longest under head coach Keith Giboney and the longest streak since a 12-match win streak in 2018).  The Lady Chaps went into conference play with an 8-2 record on the season and their pre-conference record was their best 10-match start to their season since opening the first 10 matches of the 2014 season with a 9-1 record. They are 4-3 in LSC play (seventh in the standings), and they aim for a fifth consecutive road win Wednesday. They enter the contest 12-5 overall following a 3-1 win Saturday at St. Mary's, which has LCU surpassing last season's win total (11).
 
- Kayton Genenbacher was named LSC Setter of the Week for her performances over LCU's matches last week. Genenbacher helped LCU to a 3-0 week with a trio of road wins, including a pair of come-from-behind five-set wins (at Midwestern State and St. Edward's, as she posted 139 assists at a pace of 9.93 assists per set. She posted double-double performance at MSU (54a,14d) and at SEU (39a,16d). The double-double at SEU (her ninth of the season and 20th of her career) also included a career-high five aces in the win.
