LEXINGTON, Ky. (December 10, 2025) — Lubbock Christian University Volleyball added another milestone to its record-setting 2025 campaign on Tuesday, as seniors Lily Bickley and freshman Camdyn Sears were both named AVCA All-America Honorable Mention, becoming the first NCAA-era All-Americans in program history. The selections cap a landmark season in which the Lady Chaps finished 25–8, claimed their first Lone Star Conference Regular Season Championship, and earned the program's first NCAA Division II postseason berth, advancing to the South Central Regional in Denver.
 
Bickley closes her LCU career as one of the most decorated and productive players of the rally-scoring era. The AVCA All-Region selection finished the season with 368 kills (fifth in LSC), a .325 hitting percentage (fifth in Lone Star Conference), 100 blocks (eighth in LSC), and 435 points (3.48 points per set ranked 16^th in LSC), ranking among the LSC's top offensive threats while appearing in national statistical charts throughout the season. The First Team All-LSC selection ends her four-year career with 1,177 kills—the second-highest total in LCU's rally-scoring era—and 266 total blocks, including 225 block assists, the fourth-highest rally-era total and top-10 overall in program history. Already the LSC's Academic Player of the Year, Bickley's All-America honor adds a fitting final accolade to a senior season in which she served as one of the league's most efficient and consistent attackers.
 
Sears' recognition completes one of the strongest freshman campaigns in school history. The LSC Freshman of the Year and Setter of the Year (first player in LSC history to claim those two honors in the same season) and AVCA All-Region Honorable Mention setter recorded a double-double in each of her final five matches, finishing the season with 23 double-doubles and solidifying herself among the most reliable setters in the South Central Region. She totaled 1,309 assists (ranks seventh nationally) — the 10th-best single-season total in program history and the second-best in LCU's rally-scoring era—while adding 385 digs (12^th in LSC), 29 blocks, and directing an offense that ended the season leading the LSC in both kills per set and assists per set. The LSC Championship All-Tournament Team selection delivered 39 assists and 11 digs in LCU's NCAA Tournament match, continuing a late-season surge that helped carry the Lady Chaps to their first postseason appearance.
 
The honors mark the 23^rd and 24^th All-America honors issued to LCU student-athletes in the volleyball program's history, and Bickley and Sears mark the first pair of LCU volleyball student-athletes to claim All-America honors (same season) since Jordan Goings and Elissa Loynes were recognized in 2009. Bickley and Sears mark LCU's first-ever All-America recipients in the NCAA era and the first recognized since Goings received recognition in 2009 during LCU's NAIA era.
