How It Happened
 
SET 1 | LCU 25, UTD 13
Lubbock Christian set the tone early in Richardson, dominating the opening frame 25–13 behind a balanced and efficient attack. After trading points to a 6–5 edge, the Lady Chaps ignited an eventual 8–3 surge fueled by senior Bryleigh Schweer, who registered three kills in the stretch. Setter Camdyn Sears dictated the tempo with precision, assisting on nearly every LCU kill in the set while spreading the offense across all six rotations. Jade Workman chipped in a key kill midway through the run, and Olivia Elofsson delivered a timely service ace to extend the lead to 15–9. The Chaps closed with relentless rhythm, taking 12 of the final 16 points behind Bickley's fifth kill of the frame and a pair of late swings from Camryn Blair to close the frame. LCU hit at a crisp clip (.424) and out-blocked UT Dallas 3-1 in the set, with Sears finishing the frame with 15 assists as the Lady Chaps established full control from start to finish.
 
SET 2 | UTD 27, LCU 25
The second set turned into a back-and-forth battle as Lubbock Christian fought off multiple set points before narrowly falling 27–25 to UT Dallas. The Lady Chaps fell behind early after several well-placed kills by UTD's Jane Burkhardt, who fueled the Comets' offense with 8 kills in the frame. Setter Camdyn Sears continued to keep the attack balanced, recording 17 assists in the set as she connected effectively with Emilee Sikora and Jade Workman on the wings. Down the stretch, Kyla Farnan provided a spark off the bench with a clutch service ace and Schweer and Workman's combo block pulled LCU even at 25–25 after staving off UTD's set point. However, the Comets capitalized on consecutive kills by Burkhardt to take the set. Bickley (6), Sikora (5) and Schweer (5) combined for 16 of LCU's 18 kills in the set.
 
SET 3 | LCU 25, UTD 19
Lubbock Christian regained control in the third set, pulling away late for a 25–19 win to take a 2–1 lead in the match. After an early seesaw stretch with 4 ties through the opening points (had six ties in the set), the Lady Chaps began to separate behind steady setting from Camdyn Sears, who directed a balanced attack that saw Lily Bickley, Emilee Sikora, and Payton Murray each contribute key kills. Ramsey Clark provided a momentum boost from the service line with back-to-back aces (put LCU up 18-14), while Bryleigh Schweer and Jade Workman combined for several critical blocks (each had three in the set) to slow the Comets' rhythm. LCU used a 6-0 run, which was part of an 8-1 scoring stretch to leading 20–14.  Kills from Bickley and Murray setup set point, and LCU sealed the set on a block by Workman and Schweer to reclaim the match's momentum heading to the fourth. Murray led LCU with four kills in the set.
 
SET 4 | LCU 25, UTD 18
The Lady Chaps secured a decisive victory over the Comets in the fourth set, finishing 25-18. After an early exchange of points, the Lady Chaps took control with a series of successful attacks led by Payton Murray (4) and Bryleigh Schweer (6), who combined to record 10 kills in the set. Camdyn Sears played a pivotal role, assisting on 19 of LCU's 20 kills throughout the set. Texas-Dallas attempted to rally with strong plays from Moriah Johnson and Camryn Kerlick, but the Lady Chaps maintained their lead. The set concluded with Jade Workman delivering the final point off a Sears assist, sealing the set and match. LCU, who also had five kills in the set from Sikora, hit .409 at the net.
