LOOKING AT EASTERN NEW MEXICO
- LCU and Eastern New Mexico are meeting for the 65^th time all-time (fifth meeting as conference opponents). ENMU leads the all-time series with a 34-30 mark after a 3-1 win over the Lady Chaps last season in Portales, N.M. (Nov. 2, 2022), which ended a four-match win streak in the series by LCU (Lady Chaps has won six of the last eight encounters). LCU is 17-11 against ENMU all-time at home. The Lady Chaps have won the previous four meetings in Lubbock, with the last meeting in Lubbock (Nov. 5, 2021) resulting in a 3-1 LCU win. The prior six meetings have all gone four sets and have resulted in 3-1 results, with a streak of 10 matches played since a either team won by a 3-0 final (ENMU won the last match ending in straight sets on Oct. 1, 2013 in Portales). 

- ENMU was preseason picked 14^th in the Lone Star Conference preseason poll. The Greyhounds were coming off a 15-13 season from a season ago, which included a 6-10 stretch of conference play. They played just eight of their 28 matches at home.

- Eastern is 9-19 this season and they have a 1-13 record in the LSC. They recently ended a 12-match losing streak with wins over Southwest (N.M.) and Cameron, but have since fell to West Texas A&M and Wayland Baptist, to bring a two-match losing skid into Wednesday's contest.

- Despite falling 3-2 in their previous match against Wayland Baptist, ENMU had some big statistical feats accomplished. Mikaela Garvin tied the Greyhound single-match kill record with 29. Along with their four blocks, Garvin posted the third most points in a single match, with 32.0 points being the most since Lindsey Schiely had 34.0 points in 2005. In addition, Gracelyn Stubbs notched her third triple-double of the season, becoming the fifth player in all of Division II to record three triple-doubles this season (26 assists, 13 kills, and 10 digs).

- Getsemani Carrasco leads the LSC and is seventh nationally in total digs with 537. Carrasco also leads the LSC and is sixth nationally with a per-set rate of 5.65. She did not play against WBU.
 
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 7-7 in LSC play (10th in the standings) and have won seven of their last 11 matches. They enter the contest 15-9 overall (they surpassed last season's 11-win season win total) following a 3-0 win over Cameron on Oct. 28.
 
- Kalli Dalland had a match-high and career-high 10 blocks in Oct. 14's win over UT Permian Basin. The mark was the highest total in the rally scoring era by a Lady Chaps member at home and matches as the highest single-match total since 2008 by a Lady Chap (Dalland is the third Lady Chaps member to complete the task). Dalland is sixth in the LSC and is 36th nationally in total blocks (106) and is fourth with a pace of 1.1 per set (35^th nationally).

- Kayton Genenbacher has 13 double-doubles this season (24 in career) and enters Wednesday second in the LSC in assists (913, 46^th nationally) and fifth in aces (38) while ranking third in assists per set (9.92, 43^rd nationally). Her assists are fueling a Lady Chaps offense that rank eighth in the LSC in kills per set (13.0) and is hitting .208 on the season (seventh in the LSC). Genenbacher surpassed 1,500 career assists on Sept. 23 (at Oklahoma Christian) and has 913 on the season on the season and has 1,999 in her career. She is expected to reach 2,000 career assists, which would mark her as the 12^th player in program history to achieve the honor. Bradi Marshall was the last Lady Chaps member to complete the task (completed during the 2019 season).

- Kiana Fallaha ranks seventh in the LSC in kills per set (3.4) and sixth in kills (315). She is eighth in the LSC in points per set with 3.8. Fallaha is sixth in the LSC (40^th nationally) with a pace of 10.6 attacks per set and has produced over 40 attacks in 13 matches this season. Against Texas A&M International (Oct. 21), she notched her 11th double-double of the season (and of her career) and she has double-double performances in seven of her last 15 matches.

- LCU ranks 11th in the LSC (76^th nationally) in digs per set (16.4), and it has been a balanced effort, as the Lady Chaps do not have any representation in the top-15 in conference leaders in digs. Chloe Menard is LCU's leader with 3.49 digs per set, as she has 318 total digs on the season. Four Lady Chaps (Menard, Genenbacher, Olivia Elofsson and Fallaha) have at least 2.6 digs per set.
 
- The Lady Chaparrals have a 7-6 record in home matches this season and coming off a 3-1 win at home (Oct. 28) over Cameron. Kiana Fallaha is averaging 3.4 kills and Kayton Genenbacher is on a pace of 9.9 assists per set at home. Chloe Menard leads the team in digs per set (3.25) at home, but teammates Genenbacher (3.18) and Fallaha (2.8) are also averaging at least 2.8 digs per set. Olivia Elofsson and Genenbacher have combined for 33 (Genenbacher leads with 19) of LCU's 68 serving aces at home (the next closest player is Chloe Menard, who has 10).  
 
- Kiana Fallaha (3.1) and Lily Bickley (2.8) are leading LCU in LSC play in kills per set. Fallaha, ranking 16^th with 3.5 points per set, and Bickley, ranking 23^rd with 3.1 points per set, have LCU with two players in the top-25 in conference in points per set. Chloe Menard leads LCU with 3.3 digs per set and ranks tied for 32^nd in the LSC with 13 aces. Kayton Genenbacher, leading the conference in LSC play with 579 assists and third in assists per set (10.16), leads LCU and is fourth in the conference in LSC play in aces with 21 (also ranks ninth with 0.37 per set). Lily Bickley leads LCU in LSC play in hitting percentage at .321 (14^th in LSC). Mix in Lacie Schooley ranking 20^th in hitting percentage (.293) and Kalli Dalland ranking 30^th (.246), it has LCU with three players in the top-30 in the conference for hitting (in LSC matches).
