LADY CHAP NOTES
» Lubbock Christian University volleyball (21–5, 12–1 LSC) had its 15-match win streak snapped Oct. 28 in a five-set battle at No. 14 West Texas A&M, marking its first Lone Star Conference loss of the season (The streak was LCU's longest since 2008 and ranked fifth-longest active in NCAA Division II entering the match). They bounced back in dramatic fashion Friday with a 3-2 win over Texas Woman's behind 125 digs (tied as the second-most for LCU in the current rally scoring format and is the highest total in the LSC this season) and followed with a 3-1 win over Dallas Baptist. The win over DBU marked LCU's eighth straight home win and bumps their record to 9-2 at home his season. LCU, who have already clinched a Lone Star Conference Championships (tournament) berth, have 21 regular season wins for the first time since a 21-win 2018 season. A 22^nd win would be their highest single-season win total since 24 in 2012.

LOOKING AT UTPB
- The Lady Chaps and Falcons first squared off in 1995 and have met 54 times since (55 total meetings), with LCU owning a 44-11 series advantage over the Falcons. LCU, winners of four of the prior five meetings, had won 15 consecutive matches prior to 2019, but UTPB has won seven of the last 13 meetings. LCU and UTPB squared off earlier this season (Sept. 19) in Oklahoma City, Okla., as LCU claimed a 3-1 win in the LSC Crossover. The two programs are former Heartland Conference foes and LCU was 6-0 all-time in Heartland action against the Falcons.
 
- Back in LCU's 3-1 win in the earlier meeting against UTPB, Lily Bickley led LCU with 13 kills on .458 hitting and seven blocks, while Emilee Sikora added 12 kills. Setter Camdyn Sears tallied 45 assists and 11 digs, and Bryleigh Schweer hit .563 with nine kills and two aces. The Lady Chaps hit .311 as a team and held UTPB (2–8) to .074.
 
- UT Permian Basin enters the final stretch of the season at 9–14 overall and 7–6 in Lone Star Conference play, sitting just outside the current top eight and fighting for a postseason berth in the LSC Championship. The Falcons have been streaky throughout the year, starting 1–5 before stabilizing with key midseason wins over Cameron, Oklahoma Christian, UT Dallas, and Dallas Baptist. UTPB has shown improved consistency on the road (4–6) and at home (3–3), most recently earning a five-set win over Eastern New Mexico to snap a brief skid. With matches remaining against league leaders, the Falcons' tournament hopes hinge on maintaining momentum and securing crucial late-season victories.
 
- UTPB ranks among the Lone Star Conference's top-five teams in total service aces (135) and sits 7th in the league and 167th nationally in aces per set (1.61), led by setter Kierra Freeman, who ranks 8th in the LSC with 0.39 aces per set.
 
- The Falcons' defense ranks 5th in the LSC and 49th nationally in digs per set (17.08), anchored by Kyndall Torres, who averages 3.10 digs per set to lead UTPB's backcourt effort.
