LUBBOCK, Texas (December 6, 2025) – No. 4 Lubbock Christian University remained unbeaten and extended its home winning streak to 22 games Saturday afternoon, rolling past Angelo State 77–59 inside Rip Griffin Center to move to 9–0 overall and 2–0 in Lone Star Conference play. The Lady Chaps closed their 2025 home schedule (calendar wise) at a perfect 12–0.
 
LCU took control with a dominant second quarter, holding ASU to 2-of-12 shooting and forcing nine straight misses to end the half. The Lady Chaps strung together a 15–0 run during a 6:44 stretch and outscored the Rambelles 19–2 over a field-goal drought that lasted more than 10 minutes. LCU shot an even 50 percent from the floor (24–48) for the second time this season and finished 10-of-20 from beyond the arc.
 
Forward Martie McCoy delivered a career afternoon, scoring 21 points on 6-of-7 shooting and 3-of-4 from three-point range while drawing 10 fouls, collecting seven rebounds and posting a game-high +20 plus/minus. She was joined by guard Kennedy Chappell, who totaled 20 points, six assists and four steals. Chappell became just the third Lady Chap in the NCAA era to record a 20-point, 6-assist, 4-steal line and has reached double figures in eight of LCU's nine contests. The duo's performance marked the second time this season LCU has had multiple 20-point scorers in the same game.
 
LCU's balance continued throughout the rotation. Meg Meekins added nine points and seven rebounds, while Taylor Allen and Deja Johnson each provided six off the bench. The Lady Chaps dominated the interior despite ASU's perimeter output, outscoring the Rambelles 28–8 in the paint and limiting them to nine total two-point field goals. Angelo State entered the day averaging just 3.8 made threes per game but knocked down 10 on 30 attempts. LCU matched ASU's outside shooting while maintaining a decisive advantage at the rim and at the free-throw line (19-of-25).
 
Angelo State (1–6, 0–2 LSC) was led by guard Majik Esquivel's 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting, including 2-of-6 from three and a perfect 4-of-4 at the line. Taylor Grona added 13 points and four assists, and Stevi Lockhart chipped in 10 points. The Rambelles' long-range accuracy kept them within striking distance early, but they were outscored in the paint, on fast breaks and in bench production. ASU committed 18 turnovers and shot just 34.5 percent overall, including a 16.7-percent second quarter that allowed LCU to seize full control.
 
The Lady Chaps led for more than 31 minutes and built their largest advantage at 21 points early in the fourth quarter. The win marked LCU's third straight in the series and improved the program to 11–2 against Angelo State in Lubbock.
