Westmont Volleyball Sweeps Vanguard, Keeps PacWest Hopes Alive
Westmont swept Vanguard 3-0 to extend its winning streak to six and keep its PacWest tournament hopes alive. The Warriors hit .442, powered by a balanced attack and strong serving, but need a win Saturday and help from Hawai‘i Hilo to reach the championship.
By the Numbers- Westmont won 25-15, 25-11, 25-19.
- The Warriors recorded 38 kills, 4 attack errors and a .442 hitting percentage.
- Westmont served 10 aces and made 3 service errors.
- Audrey Hyde and Valerie Coward had 9 kills apiece; Camila Cornejo-Farmer added 8.
Despite closing to within a half-game of fourth-place Hawai‘i Hilo, Westmont does not control its tournament fate. If the teams finish tied, Hilo advances on the tiebreaker.

- The Warriors must beat Point Loma on Saturday, while Hilo must lose both of its remaining matches.
