Hopkins dominated the middle stretch, recording 10 kills in the set, while Madi Parrish added five. LCU briefly closed the gap to 23\u201322 behind balanced hitting from <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/payton-murray\/4738\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4738\" target=\"_blank\">Payton Murray<\/a> (four kills) and Bickley (three), but Hopkins&#8217; late strike set up set point before Parrish sealed the frame with a kill.

Trailing 2-1, ASU responded with a 14-2 run, which included six consecutive serves from Madi Parrish \u2014 who delivered a service ace and two kills during the run \u2014 to seize a 15\u20134 advantage. LCU struggled to find rhythm offensively, committing eight attack errors in the frame, while ASU hit efficiently behind Demi Carter, Cate Boldrick, and Julia Hopkins, who combined for eight kills. Parrish led all hitters with four kills in the set, and setter Gabi Ashcraft added seven assists to help the Belles hit .371. <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/lily-bickley\/4732\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4732\" target=\"_blank\">Lily Bickley<\/a> had three of LCU&#8217;s eight kills, as the Lady Chaps hit .000 in the set.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nSET 3 | ASU 25, LCU 16<br \/>\nASU took control early in the third set with a series of scoring actions led by Parrish, who contributed several key kills, bringing the score from 4-4 to 9-4. The Lady Chaps struggled to keep pace, calling a timeout at 9-4 in an attempt to regroup. Despite a service error from Angelo State that gave LCU a brief respite, Parrish continued her strong performance, adding a trio of kills during a 4-1 run to extend their lead to 13-7. A service ace from Gabi Ashcraft pushed the Rambelles further ahead, and they maintained their momentum throughout the set. Ultimately, a final attack error by LCU concluded the set in favor of Angelo State, 25-16. Parish finished with eight kills in the set. <a href=\"https:\/\/lcuchaps.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/bryleigh-schweer\/4739\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4739\" target=\"_blank\">Bryleigh Schweer<\/a> led LCU in the set with four kills.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s Next<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nLCU (14\u20132) remains atop the Lone Star Conference standings with a .875 winning percentage, but while the Lady Chaps have just one regular-season match remaining \u2014 Wednesday&#8217;s Senior Night showdown at 6 p.m. inside the Rip Griffin Center against Midwestern State \u2014 both Angelo State and West Texas A&amp;M (13\u20132) still have two matches left to play.
