EAGLE OUTLOOK (19-9, 11-6 LSC)
Oklahoma Christian comes into the LSC Tournament after winning nine of its final 11 matches, including a current three-match win streak. That run of wins has Oklahoma Christian with a program-record 11 conference wins and the conference's seven seed for the second year in a row.

Included in those 11 conference wins is two AVCA top-25 upsets, defeating then-No. 22 Angelo State and No. 13 West Texas A&M for OC's first such wins in program history while serving as the only team in the league to beat both ASU and WT. In the season finale against the Lady Buffs, 2024 LSC Co-Freshman of the Year Chloe Jones recorded the first 20-kill, 20-dig match in program history to help lead the Eagles to the five-set upset.

Jones closed the regular season as the only player in the conference with 360 digs and 280 kills. Jones and her 287 kills is outdone only by Annie Davis, who leads the team with 308 winners while also holding the program record with 887 career kills.

The Eagles are one of only two teams in the tournament field to boast two players averaging 0.90 blocks per set or more: Camryn McGough (0.94) and Lauren Cary (0.90). McGough, who has 93 blocks in 2025, is OC's all-time blocks leader with 312 career rejections.
