TMU Women's Volleyball avoided a road sweep at the hands of (RV) Westmont College by winning the third set on Saturday night, but the Warriors promptly won the fourth set to win the Golden State Athletic Conference match by set scores of 25-20, 25-15, 22-25 and 25-19.
Â
"Westmont is always a tough team to play," Master's Head Coach
Annett Davis said. "Consistency is the key that's missing for us. The girls are working hard to get there."
Â

Â
"We had some great moments with our block," Davis said, also highlighting the play of setter
Natalie Collins.
Â
The Mustangs then held the Warriors to a .000 attack % in the fourth set, but Westmont limited Master's to a -.022 clip in taking what proved to be the final set of the match.
Â
Faith Tarver led TMU in kills for the fifth-straight match, recording 12. Collins paced the Mustangs in both assists (29) and digs (19), while
Emily Scott led the team with five total blocks.
Â
Anna Poole added 17 digs, with
Ruby Duncan posting a stat line of eight kills and four blocks.
Emily Clark tallied seven kills and three service aces (most on the team).
