Westminster claims four-set win on Senior Recognition Day

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.---The Westminster women's volleyball team claimed a 3-1 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory over Bethany Saturday afternoon on Ron Galbreath Court inside Buzz Ridl Gymnasium.

Before the match got underway, Westminster recognized its four seniors: Anna-Kate Davis (Boonsboro, Md., Boonsboro), Zoie Reid (Salem, Ohio, Salem), Maggie Shadle (Marion Center, Pa., Marion Center) and Liv Trent (Pittsburgh, Pa., Brentwood) were all recognized. 

Westminster, winners of four straight, improved to 16-9 overall and 7-2 in PAC play. Bethany fell to 8-16 overall and 4-7 in the conference. 

Junior Morgan O'Brien (Pittsburgh, Pa., Our Lady of the Sacred Heart) recorded her eighth triple-double of the season, finishing with 13 kills, 22 assists,16 digs and two total blocks. Davis surpassed 1,000 career assists after recording 26 assists, five service aces and nine digs. Junior Brooke Gecina (Aurora, Ohio, Aurora) collected 24 digs and added two aces, while Trent finished with 13 kills and eight digs.

Westminster opened the first set with Davis serving eight-straight points, building an 8-0 lead behind three Trent kills, two kill from freshman Violet Seaman (Hartville, Ohio, Lake), an O'Brien kill and Davis ace. Bethany narrowed the gap to 19-15, but the Titans answered with points from O'Brien, Reid and freshman Stephanie Strenk (Avoca, Mich., Yale) to move back in control. Junior Dakota Hershberger (Belleville, Pa., Mifflin County) put down the final kill from O'Brien as the Titans took the set 25-18.

After Bethany tied the second set at 14-14, Westminster answered with five-straight points, starting with a Reid kill and continuing through four points on sophomore Kylie Anthony's (Harrison City, Pa., Penn-Trafford) serve to go ahead 19-14. Trent and Strenk had kills during that stretch, and O'Brien later ended the set with a kill from Davis to give the Titans a 25-17 set win.

Westminster rallied late in the third set, turning a 21-12 deficit into a 21-19 score with seven-straight points. Gecina served throughout that stretch and recorded back-to-back aces, while Reid and O'Brien added kills. Bethany held off the push and took the set 25-21.

Westminster created separation in the fourth set behind Davis' service turn, getting two aces while moving from a 10-6 lead to 14-6 advantage. After Bethany cut the score to 14-10, O'Brien answered with a kill, and the Titans later pushed ahead 22-12.
