Westminster dealt three-set loss at Hiram

HIRAM, Ohio---The Westminster women's volleyball team suffered a 3-0 loss at Hiram in the semifinal round of the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament Thursday night inside Price Gymnasium. 

Hiram, the championship tournament's top seed, improved to 17-9 and will host Chatham, the No. 2 seed, in Saturday night's title match. Westminster, the No. 4 seed, concluded its season 18-11. 

Senior Liv Trent (Pittsburgh, Pa., Brentwood) hit .286, finishing with 15 kills on 42 swings. It was her ninth match this season with 15 or more kills. Trent added 11 digs for her 16th double-double of the year. Senior Zoie Reid (Salem, Ohio, Salem) had eight kills and six digs. Junior Morgan O'Brien (Pittsburgh, Pa., Our Lady of the Sacred Heart) totaled seven kills, 16 assists and 12 digs. Senior Anna-Kate Davis (Boonsboro, Md., Boonsboro) finished with 14 assists and seven digs while junior Brooke Gecina (Aurora, Ohio, Aurora) had 35 digs, her seventh match this season with at least 30 digs.

Megan Chiang hit .326 with 18 kills on 42 attempts for Hiram. She added 22 digs.

The Titans were ahead late in the first set, reaching 18-13 on a kill by freshman Violet Seaman (Hartville, Ohio, Lake) and a Gecina service ace before holding a 19-15 edge. Hiram answered with six-straight points to move ahead 21-19, and Gecina's kill briefly stopped the run. Trent added a late kill for the Titans, but Hiram finished off the set 25-21.

Westminster erased a 14-8 deficit in the second set, using kills by O'Brien, freshman Jenna Renner (Port Allegheny, Pa., Port Allegheny) and Trent before a Hiram attack error tied it at 16-16. Davis later brought the Titans within two, 21-19, with a kill, but Hiram scored the final four points to take the set 25-19.

The Titans nearly turned the third set with a six-point push after falling behind 23-18, moving in front 24-23 on an O'Brien block after Trent had three kills during the surge. The Terriers answered with the final three points, tying the set on a Maggie Riley kill and closing it with two Westminster attack errors to take the set 26-24.
