History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n LUBBOCK, Texas\u00a0(October 17, 2026)\u00a0\u2013 Lubbock Christian University turned Senior Day into a celebration Saturday, rolling past Texas A&M-Kingsville 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-18) for its second consecutive Lone Star Conference sweep inside Rip Griffin Center.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Lady Chaparrals improved to 10-11 overall and 6-5 in LSC play, while Texas A&M-Kingsville fell to 15-7 and 8-3.
\n\u00a0
\nLCU controlled the match at the net, piling up 12 blocks and holding the Javelinas to a .104 attack percentage. Freshman Kayson Reeves<\/a> led the effort with seven blocks, including one solo, while Shaylee Stevens<\/a> established a career high with five block assists.
\n\u00a0
\nCamryn Blair<\/a>, Hope Gonsioroski<\/a> and Camdyn Sears each recorded 10 kills. Sears hit .391 and added 16 assists for her 11th double-double of the season and 34th of her LCU career, one day after recording the program’s first triple-double in 36 years. Gonsioroski hit .296, while Blair reached double figures for the 10th time this season.
\n\u00a0
\nLauren Hanson<\/a> added a team-high 20 assists as LCU hit .284, including .390 in the second set. LCU erased an early 7-1 deficit in the opener with an 11-3 surge and never trailed again after taking a 12-10 lead.
\n\u00a0
\nNatalee Rush paced Texas A&M-Kingsville with 17 kills on a .419 hitting percentage.

\nGame Notes
\n\u00bb\u00a0An obscure but wild statline emerged from the Lady Chaps’ victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville, as LCU captured its second consecutive win of the season (2-6) when trailing the opposition in service aces (TAMUK held a 3-1 advantage). The real anomaly was LCU’s uncharacteristic struggle behind the line; the Lady Chaps hit double digits in missed serves, finishing with 11 serving errors against just a single ace. For a team that entered the match dominating Lone Star Conference play with a 66-41 ace advantage (and a 46-31 edge at home), the resulting -10 differential was a rare statistical outlier. In fact, that -10 margin marks LCU’s largest deficit between aces and serving errors in over a decade, dating all the way back to a -11 performance (13 errors, 2 aces) against St. Mary’s on September 4, 2014. Proving that history loves a strange pattern, LCU defied the serving odds to pull off a gutsy victory in both matches.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0Camdyn Sears followed her first career triple-double (and the program’s first in 36 years) Saturday with her 11th double-double this season (and 34th of her career), as she had 16 assists and 10 kills. Sears, who never had a double-digit performance in kills prior to Friday, hit double-digits for a second consecutive match with her 10 kills Saturday. The sophomore also had a pair of blocks and LCU’s only serving ace in the match.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0Running a 5-2 for a second consecutive match also led to Lauren Hanson<\/a> having a productive weekend, as she led the team in assists for the first time Friday with 14 (was a career-best for the freshman), and followed with a career-high 20 Saturday to lead the squad.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0LCU reached double figures in blocks for a third time this season, as they posted 12 blocks Saturday (1 solo and 22 assisted) for their second-highest season total (all three team efforts this season with at least 10 blocks have come in three-set matches). The 22 block-assists is a season high and the most since they had 22 in a five-set win (3-2) over Southwestern Oklahoma State (Sept. 12, 2025). Going even deeper, the last time LCU had 22-or-more block assists in a three-set match was Oct. 6, 2018 against St. Edward’s at home (LCU had 24 in that match). Kayson Reeves<\/a> led LCU with seven blocks off a solo and six block assists. Shaylee Stevens<\/a> produced a career-best five blocks (all block assists).
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0Senior Day was celebrated prior to the match, as Camryn Blair<\/a>, Ramsey Clark<\/a>, Kyla Farnan, Kyla Farnan and student-assistant coach Drea Laughlin<\/a> (active player on last season’s Lady Chaps squad) were recognized with their families prior to the match.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0The only lead change of the entire match came in the opening set, as LCU responded from a 7-1 deficit with an 11-3 scoring surge for a 12-10 lead.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0The Lady Chaps had a trio of players in double-figures in kills, as Camryn Blair<\/a>, Hope Gonsioroski<\/a> and Camdyn Sears<\/a> each had 10 kills. Blair’s double-figure production marked her 10th performance with at least 10 kills this season and 16th of her career. Gonsioroski had double-figures in kills for a fourth time this season and the freshman has completed the task in a span covering the last six matches.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0LCU improved to 8-8 in straight-set decisions, as 16 of LCU’s 21 matches this season have resulted in 3-0 decisions. The loss was only the second 3-0 loss TAMUK has suffered this season.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0The Lady Chaps improve to 4-3 at home this season, as they have one home match remaining.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00bb\u00a0LCU increases their all-time series advantage over Texas A&M-Kingsville to 8-6 overall and 4-1 in Lubbock. The Lady Chaps have won three straight meetings and five of the last seven, in a series that dates back to 1979.\u00a0
