Westmont’s six-match winning streak—and its season—ended with a 25-13, 25-23, 25-20 loss to Point Loma. Already eliminated from the PacWest Tournament, the Warriors couldn’t upset the 17th-ranked Sea Lions, who secured the conference’s outright regular-season title. Westmont finished fifth in the conference, but improved on last season and will lose three seniors.

By the Numbers
  • Westmont finished 14-12 overall and 11-7 in the PacWest.

  • The Warriors hit .065; Audrey Hyde led the team with 10 kills.
  • Westmont improved from 12-14 overall, 6-6 in conference, and a tie for sixth place last season.
  • Coach Ruth McGolpin’s eight-year record at Westmont is 142-82 (.634).
Yes, But

Westmont fell short of its postseason goal and struggled to score, but coach Ruth McGolpin said the team’s resilience and late-season progress reflect a stronger foundation for the program.

What’s Next

Three seniors—Malia de Jesus, Valerie Coward and Ceanna O’Loughlin—are leaving the program. O’Loughlin is set to become a graduate assistant coach with the Jamestown men’s volleyball program, while Westmont looks to build on its improvement and strengthen the roster.

Bottom Line

The loss ended Westmont’s season without a tournament berth, but the team’s improved record and conference finish give the program tangible momentum to carry into next year.
