Volleyball Set to Secure Home Court

The No. 17 Westmont volleyball team, led by senior right side hitter Cassidy Rea, hosts two crucial Golden State Athletics matches this weekend against San Diego Christian College on October 25 at 7 pm and No. 21 Vanguard University on October 26 at 7 pm. The Warriors have slipped to second place in the GSAC with six matches left in the regular season and the right to host the GSAC Tournament (November 15-16) hanging in the balance. SDCC has yet to win a conference match, but Vanguard beat the Warriors in five sets September 27 in Costa Mesa.

First-year Head Coach Ruth McGolpin has steadily guided the young Warrior’s team up the national rankings. Junior outside hitters Hali Galloway and Brooklynn Cheney have contributed 221 and 180 kills respectively, second only to Rea’s 287. Dynamo junior libero Lauren Friis has tallied 417 digs this season, raising her career tally to 1,532 digs, the third highest in Warrior history.
