Volleyball Season Ends on Win Streak and Basketball Starts hot

Westmont volleyball (12-14, 6-6 PacWest) finished its season on a four-game winning streak and sent its seniors out in style, defeating Jessup (11-13, 5-7) in four sets on Nov. 15 at Murchison Gym. 

This was the final Westmont match for Alexis Dennick and Nariah Prescott.

Sophomore outside hitter Maddie Finnegan led the team in kills (312), freshman setter Sierra McClure paced the team in assists (577), sophomore Rylee Elias had the team high in digs (415) and sophomore Camila Cornejo-Farmer had a team-high 96 blocks. “It was important to us all season long to not lose sight of both grit and gratitude,” head coach Ruth McGolpin said. “This was a team that always stayed together.”

Women’s Basketball Undefeated Early

Westmont Women’s Basketball is off to a 2-0 start in the 2025-26 season after defeating Montana State Billings 63-38 on Nov. 15 in Murchison Gym. This is the first time since Feb. 3, 2022, that the Warriors have held an opponent to under 40 points. 

“First and foremost, I am incredibly proud of another gritty defensive performance tonight,” said Westmont’s head coach Kirsten Moore. “I just love the intensity our team is bringing to that end of the floor, and the growth in recognizing how important that is to our success. 

“In a game where scoring didn’t come easy, we were able to trust our toughness to come through defensively and on the boards and eventually that loosened things up offensively.”

The Warriors are headed to Nampa, Idaho, for games Nov. 21-22 against host Northwest Nazarene and Central Washington.
