Undefeated

For the first time in school history, Westmont Athletics has a team that has gone undefeated in the regular season. With a three-game sweep (25-18, 25-17, 25-12) of Hope International (11-14, 5-9 GSAC) in the final Golden State Athletic Conference game of the year, #1 Westmont Volleyball has completed the regular season with a perfect record of 31-0 overall and 16-0 in conference play. "I told the team before this game to appreciate the moment," said head coach Patti Cook, "and to realize that we have been making history and we are about to make history one more time tonight by sweeping the GSAC. I told them to look around and appreciate their teammates and know that we have something very special going on here." An outstanding accomplishment by any accounting, the feat is made more remarkable when one considers that the Warriors played just eight matches on their home court in Murchison Gymnasium. Westmont was 13-0 when playing on their opponents' courts this season and 10-0 in matches played at neutral sites. In 16 conference matches, the Warriors lost just one set, giving them a set record of 48-1 (.980) in GSAC play. That mark is the best in GSAC history since the first year of the conference in 1986 when Fresno Pacific claimed the conference crown with a 5-0 record by sweeping all five of its matches for a 15-0 set record.
