Volleyball Hosts Home Match

Westmont volleyball (4-3) opened the season unbeaten in the Sunbird Classic hosted by Fresno Pacific, beating UC Merced, Stanislaus State, and Chico State. But the Warriors ran into some stiff competition at the Nighthawk Classic in Nampa, Idaho, dropping three of four matches to Seattle Pacific, Colorado Mines, and Westminster (Utah). 

“I’m proud of the team and the way we continued to fight,” said head coach Ruth McGolpin. “It’s been a good non-conference season, and we look forward to getting home.”

The Warriors will face Biola in La Mirada on Friday, September 19, before returning to Murchison Gym for PacWest Conference action against Menlo on Saturday, September 20, at 7 pm.

McGolpin returns only two seniors this season: middle hitter Alexis Dennick and opposite hitter Nariah Prescott. Sophomore outside hitter Maddie Finnegan leads the team in kills (69) and sophomore defensive specials/libero Rylee Elias is tops in digs (115).
