LUBBOCK, Texas (Feb. 26, 2026) — Lubbock Christian University opened its home slate in dominant fashion Thursday, sweeping a doubleheader from NJCAA No. 7 Seward County Community College with a pair of 7-0 victories at the Penny Gullo Tennis Center for the program's 15th and 16th all-time shutouts — and 13th and 14th by 7-0 scorelines.
 
In the opener, LCU (3-2) secured the doubles point swiftly, as Oshini Herath and Kristel Jativa finished first at No. 3 with a 6-0 win, followed by Axelle Jacquemin and Alexandra Luders at No. 2, 6-2. Andrea De Bernardo and AnaMaria Zoric closed doubles with a 6-1 decision at No. 1 to complete the sweep. In singles, De Bernardo was first off at No. 2 with a 6-1, 6-2 victory before Zoric, ranked No. 34 nationally, followed at No. 1 with a 6-0, 6-1 win to extend the lead to 3-0. Herath pushed the margin to 4-0 at No. 4, clinching the dual with a 6-0, 6-1 result. Jacquemin added a three-set win at No. 3, rebounding for a 6-1, 3-6, 6-0 decision, while Ana Sofía Valero Treviño and Jativa closed out straight-set victories at Nos. 6 and 5, respectively.
 
The Lady Chaparrals (4-2) carried that momentum into the nightcap, again sweeping doubles. Jacquemin and Luders set the tone with a 6-1 win at No. 2, Herath and Jativa followed at No. 3, 6-1, and De Bernardo and Zoric capped the point at No. 1, 6-3, improving to 6-1 overall and 5-0 at the top spot while extending their team win streak to six. In singles, LCU benefitted from a default at No. 6 to move ahead 2-0 before Zoric dispatched Rosaline Akombo-Lum 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2. De Bernardo added a 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 1, and Hannah Quick clinched the match at No. 4 with a 6-3, 6-1 victory. Valero Treviño and Luders rounded out the sweep with straight-set wins at Nos. 3 and 5.
 
Zoric led the charge on the day, stretching her win streak to five matches and improving to a team-best 11-6 overall (5-1 in duals). De Bernardo was unbeaten in both singles and doubles, while the No. 1 tandem of De Bernardo and Zoric remained perfect in dual play. Jacquemin and Luders also posted two doubles victories, and Herath and Jativa contributed in both doubles and singles during the opening match. With the wins, LCU improved to 3-0 all-time against Seward County, last hosting the Saints in 2023.
 
While the NCAA does not factor junior college opponents into national team ratings, the matches count toward LCU's overall record and are recognized by the ITA and other rating associations. The Lady Chaparrals now turn their attention to a Division I test Saturday, traveling to Albuquerque for a 3 p.m. (CT) matchup against New Mexico at McKinnon Family Tennis Stadium.
