PORTALES, N.M. (October 7, 2025) – Lubbock Christian continued its early-season tear with a dominant defensive display Tuesday night, sweeping Eastern New Mexico 3-0 (25–10, 25–10, 25–15) inside Steve Loy Family Foundation Arena (Greyhound Arena). The victory extended the Lady Chaps' winning streak to nine matches — their longest since a 12-match stretch in 2018 — and improved them to 13–4 overall and 5–0 in Lone Star Conference play.
 
LCU's defensive effort suffocated ENMU (3–12, 1–4 LSC), holding the Greyhounds to a -.078 attack percentage — the lowest by a Chaparral opponent since Texas A&M International hit -.102 on Oct. 1, 2016, and marking the first time LCU has forced a team into negative territory since Sept. 29, 2018. ENMU's 17 total kills were also the fewest allowed by LCU since Oklahoma Panhandle State was limited to 11 in 2014.
 
The Lady Chaps combined that defense with sharp efficiency at the net, hitting .289 as a team and posting a season-best 7.0 blocks in a three-set match. Bryleigh Schweer led the front-line effort with four blocks and added five kills on a blistering .500 hitting mark. Lily Bickley added six kills and three blocks, while Camryn Blair provided seven kills.
 
The defensive dominance extended to the back row, where Abby Dominguez anchored a 53–34 advantage in digs. Dominguez tallied a team-high 17 digs, matched Olivia Elofsson for the team lead with two aces, and added a career-high seven assists. Elofsson contributed 13 digs and two aces of her own to round out a strong all-around night.
 
Setter Camdyn Sears efficiently ran the offense with 27 assists, eight digs, and three blocks. Emilee Sikora continued her steady play on the outside with a team-best nine kills on .240 hitting.
 
LCU has now swept Eastern New Mexico in three consecutive meetings, evening the all-time series at 34–34 and improving to 11–19 all-time in Portales.
