LUBBOCK, Texas (March 9, 2026) – Lubbock Christian University claimed a 6-1 home victory over Colorado Mesa University Saturday at Penny Gullo Tennis Center, as the Lady Chaparrals secured the doubles point and won five of six singles matches to improve to 6-3 on the season and remain unbeaten all-time against the Mavericks.
\n\u00a0
\nLCU opened the dual by sweeping doubles play. The first decision came from the No. 2 position, where Oshini Herath<\/a> and Alexandra Luders<\/a> posted a 6-4 victory over Catalina Ballon and Delia Maier to give the Lady Chaparrals early momentum. Moments later, Kristel Jativa<\/a> and Ana Sof\u00eda Valero Trevi\u00f1o<\/a> followed with a 7-5 win at No. 3 doubles against Valentina Gonzalez and Sophie Hartman. The doubles point was clinched at the top flight, where the nationally ranked tandem of Andrea De Bernardo<\/a> and AnaMaria Zoric<\/a> (No. 17 nationally) edged Jade Brilhante and Devyn Rodriguez 7-6 (7-2), extending their winning streak to eight matches and improving to 7-0 this season at No. 1 doubles.
\n\u00a0
\nSingles play saw LCU quickly extend its lead. De Bernardo was first off the court at No. 1 singles, defeating Rodriguez 6-0, 6-2 to push the Lady Chaps ahead 2-0. Zoric followed shortly after at No. 2 singles, claiming a 7-5, 6-1 win over Gonzalez to stretch the advantage to 3-0 and extend her singles win streak to seven matches. At No. 3 singles, Herath added another straight-sets victory with a 6-1, 7-5 result against Brilhante, giving LCU a commanding 4-0 edge.
\n\u00a0
\nThe match-clinching point came from Jativa at No. 4 singles, where she rallied past Maier in a tight contest, 7-5, 7-6 (6), securing the team victory and extending her personal win streak to six matches while improving to 6-0 in dual play this season. Valero Trevi\u00f1o added a dramatic three-set win at No. 5 singles, defeating Ballon 7-5, 3-6, 10-4 in a match tiebreak to give LCU its sixth point of the day. Colorado Mesa picked up its lone point at No. 6 singles, where Jane Steur outlasted Valero Trevi\u00f1o in a three-set match tiebreak.
\nSeveral players played key roles in the Lady Chaparrals’ victory. Zoric continued to lead the team in singles with a 13-6 overall record (7-1 in duals), while De Bernardo earned her fourth consecutive singles victory to move to 11-6 on the season. Jativa’s clinching win pushed her to 12-5 overall and maintained her perfect 6-0 mark in dual matches. In doubles, De Bernardo and Zoric remained unbeaten at the top spot this spring, while the pairing of Jativa and Valero Trevi\u00f1o recorded their team-leading ninth doubles win and second straight victory together.
\n\u00a0
\nWith the win, LCU improved to 4-0 all-time against Colorado Mesa. The Lady Chaparrals will next return to the court March 22 when they travel to Durant, Oklahoma, for an 11 a.m. non-conference dual against Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
