The Lady Chaps improved to 15–4 overall and 7–0 in LSC play, extending their winning streak to 11 straight, their longest since 2018. The 7-0 conference start is their best in their NCAA era and the best since they opened Sooner Athletic Conference play 12-0 in 2009.
 
Freshman Emilee Sikora led the attack with a career-high 18 kills, matching the team high for a four-set match this season and posting a .317 hitting percentage.

Lily Bickley added eight kills and four blocks, while Camryn Blair hit .421 with eight kills. The Lady Chaps hit .221 for the match and tallied 48 kills — 30 of which came in the final two sets — and 63 team digs.
 
For Oklahoma Christian (10–6, 2–4 LSC), Katy Geurin and Annie Davis paced the Eagles with 15 and 13 kills, respectively, while Lauren Cary and Kathryn Christie combined for 11 blocks. Despite a season-high 10 aces, OC could not slow LCU's offensive surge in the final three sets.

How It Happened
 
SET 1 | OC 25, LCU 16
Oklahoma Christian stormed out to an early lead and never looked back in the opening set, taking a 25–16 win over Lubbock Christian. The Eagles used an 8–0 run behind consecutive aces from libero Macey Nehring and multiple kills from Annie Davis and Katy Geurin to seize a 10–2 advantage. LCU struggled to find rhythm offensively, committing several early attack errors and being blocked twice in the opening stretch. Senior Lily Bickley and Camryn Blair provided brief sparks with kills midway through the set (Blair led LCU in the frame with three kills), but Oklahoma Christian's balance proved too much, as Lauren Cary added timely kills and a late ace to close out the frame. The Eagles had 16 kills and produced four serving aces in the set.
 
SET 2 | LCU 25, OC 17
Lubbock Christian responded with authority in the second set. After trailing 5-3 early, the Lady Chaps responded with a strong 9-2 scoring stretch for a 12-7 lead (Sikora had three kills in the opening surge and led LCU in the frame with the kill total). The Lady Chaps' block came alive, with Lily Bickley, Bryleigh Schweer, and Tatum Fleitman combining for multiple stops at the net as OC struggled to sustain attacks. Bickley's late kill set up set-point before Camdyn Sears sealed it with a kill of her own, evening the match with a 25–17 win.
 
SET 3 | LCU 25, OC 19
After nine kills in each of the prior two sets, Lubbock Christian came out firing in the third set with 16 kills. They stormed out to an early 8–1 lead behind a dominant serving run from Olivia Elofsson and a flurry of kills from Emilee Sikora, who struck three straight to cap the surge. The Lady Chaps' offense hit in rhythm, with Camdyn Sears spreading the attack (12 assists) to Tatum Fleitman, Camryn Blair, and Lily Bickley, as the hosts maintained control throughout. Trailing 12-3, Oklahoma Christian fought back briefly with aces from Macey Nehring and Summer Van Meerveld, trimming the deficit to four, but LCU's balance proved too much. Bickley delivered three straight kills during a late run that extended the lead to 18–11, and Sikora sealed the 25–19 clincher with her fifth kill of the frame.
 
SET 4 | LCU 25, OC 16
In the fourth set, the Chaps overcame an early 3-0 deficit against the Eagles, powered by a series of attacks from Sikora and Tatum Fleitman. LCU then capitalized on a series of errors by the Eagles, including three consecutive attack errors that helped them secure an 8-4 lead. Sikora continued to be a dominant force, contributing 8 kills in the set, while Schweer and Fleitman fortified the defense with key blocks. En route to closing out the set on a 13-4 run, Sikora's final kill brought LCU to set point, and an attack error by OC's Kenzy McArtor sealed the 25-16 victory for the Chaparrals.
 
What's Next
The Lady Chaps head to Tyler, Texas Friday for a huge LSC battle, as they face UT Tyler (9-7, 5-1). LCU will be seeking their first-ever win over the Patriots (0-6 all-time against UTT).
