DENTON, Texas (Oct. 10, 2023) – The Texas Woman's volleyball team will play their third match in a row in Kitty Magee Arena on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. against Lubbock Christian.
 
TWU (12-4, 4-1) most recently recorded back-to-back sweeps in KMA over UT Permian Basin and Eastern New Mexico. They will look to keep the streak going and build upon their best start to conference play since 2015 against LCU (12-5, 4-3).
 
The Lady Chaps are currently on a three-match win streak, having defeated Midwestern State, St. Edward's and St. Mary's all on the road.
 
Wednesday will mark the second meeting between TWU and LCU, as the two met in Lubbock in the opening Lone Star Conference Crossover on Sept. 15. The Pioneers recorded the victory, sweeping the Lady Chaps.
