\nNo. 3 LCU stayed perfect and earned its first Lone Star Conference road win Thursday, grinding out a 63\u201355 victory at Oklahoma Christian to move to 10\u20130 (3\u20130 LSC). The Lady Chaps controlled more than 35 minutes of the game behind a smothering defensive effort that forced 20 turnovers and held the Eagles to 34% shooting and just two made threes.
\n\u00a0
\nKennedy Chappell<\/a> powered LCU with 20 points, five rebounds and four steals\u2014her fifth 20-point game of the season and second straight. She delivered 12 points after halftime and went 8-for-12 at the free-throw line, becoming just the ninth Lady Chap in the NCAA Division II era to post a 20\u2013point-5-rebound\u20134-steal stat line. Freshman Meg Meekins<\/a> added 14 points and a team-best +12 plus\/minus, marking her seventh double-figure game in 10 outings.
\n\u00a0
\nLCU led 28\u201321 at halftime and stretched the margin to 38\u201324 midway through the third before OC rallied to within three late. But timely threes from Tia Johnson<\/a> and Meekins, along with late free throws from Chappell, sealed LCU’s 13th straight road win dating back to last season. OC (4\u20135, 0\u20133) was led by Taylor Jackson’s 15 points and eight rebounds.

\nNATIONALLY KNOWN
\nPrior to this season, national rankings were conducted by WBCA and D2CSC in NCAA Division II women’s basketball, but a decision was made to discontinue D2CSC top-25 polls in all sports, so the WBCA is the lone national poll available for NCAA Division II women’s basketball. LCU, who closed last season ranked No.7 in the final WBCA Coaches Poll, opened this season at No.13 in the WBCA Preseason Coaches Poll. They are currently ranked No.3 nationally in the poll, moving up from No.4 last week. Heading into this week’s play, LCU is the only program in NCAA Div. II with both of their men’s and women’s basketball programs in the top-5 (LCU’s men’s program is No.4 in NABC poll) and LCU is one of three programs in NCAA Division II with both of their basketball programs unbeaten.

\n1 > Cameron enters Saturday seeking its first win of the season, sitting at 0\u20138 overall and 0\u20132 in Lone Star Conference play while riding an eight-game skid. The Aggies have struggled to find consistency on the road (0\u20136 away, 0\u20131 home, 0\u20131 neutral) and are coming off an 85\u201348 loss at West Texas A&M. Despite the winless start, Cameron has shown offensive flashes\u2014scoring 60+ four times\u2014and continues to lean on high-usage scorers Madison Griggs and Kloe Heidebrecht to carry the workload.
\n\u00a0
\n2 > Sophomore forward Madison Griggs has emerged as Cameron’s go-to scorer and one of the LSC’s top offensive threats. Griggs, who did not play against West Texas A&M in their latest game played, ranks first in the conference and 40th nationally in scoring (18.1 ppg) while sitting among league leaders in minutes (33.4 mpg), field goals made (44), and three-pointers made (16). She is also top-15 in both free-throw attempts and free throws made, highlighting her ability to draw contact and generate offense.
\n\u00a0
\n3 > Senior Kloe Heidebrecht forms the other half of Cameron’s perimeter punch and enters the matchup on a major shooting surge. She ranks No. 2 in the LSC and top-5 nationally in three-point percentage (39.7%), and leads the conference in threes per game (3.38). Heidebrecht is coming off a career performance at WT where she scored 23 points and hit seven three-pointers, accounting for nearly half of the team’s total scoring.
\n\u00a0
\n4 > Freshman point guard Emmary Elizondo anchors Cameron’s perimeter play, ranking No. 5 in the LSC in assists per game (3.3) and total assists (26). She averages 31.8 minutes per contest\u2014the seventh-highest mark in the conference\u2014and adds 6.0 points per game with 20 defensive rebounds, 26 assists, and 32 steals\/deflections combined (steals + blocks). Elizondo posted 9 points, 4 boards and 3 assists in CU’s most recent outing at WT.
\n\u00a0
\n5 > Team-wise, Cameron’s profile is shaped by perimeter volume and defensive pressure attempts, but rebounding remains a challenge. The Aggies rank third in the LSC in three-pointers per game (8.5) and second in attempts (24.9), but sit 15th in the conference in rebound margin (-11.0) and 14th in scoring defense (82.1 ppg allowed). Cameron forces 15.1 turnovers per game but averages 21.6 of its own, contributing to a -6.5 turnover margin that ranks 13th in the league.
\n\u00a0
\nTHE SERIES AGAINST CU
\nAfter facing\u00a0Cameron\u00a0twice a season for four consecutive seasons, LCU and Cameron only faced each other once last season, with LCU winning 77-52 in Lubbock (Jan. 25) and have claimed the prior 10 meetings. The head-to-head series between LCU and\u00a0Cameron\u00a0dates back to 1985 and LCU has a 12-9 edge through 21 all-time meetings. Since joining the LSC, LCU is 10-0 against\u00a0Cameron.

\nPRIOR MEETING VS. CU
\nLUBBOCK, Texas\u00a0(January 25, 2025) \u2013 LCU 77 \u2013 CU 52
\nLubbock Christian delivered one of its best shooting performances of the season, tying a program record with 18 three-pointers in a 77\u201352 win over Cameron. Grace Foster<\/a> powered the victory with 22 points and 10 rebounds, moving into fourth (at the time) on LCU’s all-time scoring list. She hit five threes, while Maci Maddox<\/a> (15 points) and Kennedy Chappell<\/a> (13 points) combined to go a perfect 5-for-5 from deep in a dominant third quarter that saw LCU outscore Cameron 25\u20137. The Lady Chaps opened the game hot, knocking down five threes in the first period and building a double-digit lead they never surrendered. Their perimeter barrage peaked with six straight triples in the third as LCU hit 14 of its first 21 attempts from beyond the arc.
\n\u00a0
