First Set Supremacy Fuels Second Consecutive Sweep

EDMOND - Oklahoma Christian swept Western New Mexico 3-0 (25-4, 25-20, 25-18) on Saturday afternoon at the Eagles' Nest, delivering a dominant wire-to-wire performance in Lone Star Conference action.

With the victory, Oklahoma Christian improves to 13-9 overall and 6-4 in conference play, matching Western New Mexico's overall record of 13-9 (7-4 LSC).

How It Happened

  • Set 1 (25-4): The Eagles set the tone early with an electric opening frame, opening up a commanding 13-2 lead and hitting an efficient .500 as a team. Backed by tough serving and three early kills from Chloe Jones, OC kept WNMU in system difficulties and cruised to a 25-4 set victory.

  • Set 2 (25-20): Western New Mexico responded with a tighter battle in set two, tying the score nine times. Kenzy McArtor led the front-row charge for the Eagles, knocking down key transition kills to keep OC ahead in crucial moments before an ace from Jenna McClure sealed the 25-20 win.

  • Set 3 (25-18): Western New Mexico jumped out to an early 7-2 lead, but Oklahoma Christian rallied back with a 6-0 run to reclaim control. Late set kills from Molly Brunell and Leah Duncan, combined with steady setting by Zoe Wisdom, closed out the match 25-18 to complete the three-set sweep.

Match Notes

  • Balanced Attack: Kenzy McArtor led Oklahoma Christian with a match-high 11 kills while hitting .348. Jenna McClure added 9 kills on a .421 hitting percentage alongside 10 digs and an ace.

  • Playmaking Tandem: Setters Zoe Wisdom and Summer Van Meerveld directed the Eagles' offense, recording 14 and 13 assists, respectively. Wisdom also added a pair of service aces.

  • Defensive Front: OC controlled the net with 8.0 team blocks, led by Leah Duncan (2 block solos, 1 block assist) and Lauren Cary (3 block assists). Libero Macey Nehring anchored the back row with a team-high 15 digs.

  • Historic Set 1 Dominance: Holding Western New Mexico to just four points in Set 1 (25-4) marked one of the most dominant single-set performances in Oklahoma Christian program history, ranking among the fewest points allowed in a set across NCAA Division II. 

  • Winning Streak: Today's win extends the Eagles' winning streak to four, winning in sweeping fashion in the last two. 

  • Chasing 1,000: Summer Van Meerveld eclipsed 1,000 career assists this week, and on Tuesday, Chloe Jones has a chance to surpass 1,000 career digs.
