10/1/2025 Fulton, MO - The Westminster volleyball team put together one of its most complete performances of the season on Wednesday night, sweeping Webster 25–16, 25–12, 25–19 in the annual Dig Pink match inside Historic Gym. With the crowd dressed in pink to raise awareness for breast cancer research, the Blue Jays matched the energy of the night with sharp execution across all phases of the game. 

The Westminster offense spread the ball around efficiently, hitting .241 as a team with 35 total kills. Paige Rowland led the charge with a match-high 11 kills on a .346 hitting percentage, while Samantha Hansen was nearly unstoppable with seven kills on just 11 swings, finishing at an impressive .636. Katelynn Jackson also added four kills and was effective at the service line with three aces. 

Landrey VanOverschelde directed the attack with 12 assists while adding a team-leading six service aces, keeping Webster on its heels all evening. Emma Behrmann chipped in with 12 assists of her own to ensure the Blue Jays' offense ran smoothly. The strong serving pressure was a theme of the match, as Westminster racked up 13 total aces. 

On the defensive side, Haylie Schnake anchored the back row with 12 digs, while Jackson, Nolte, and Hansen each contributed steady defensive play to limit Webster's scoring runs. At the net, Rowland recorded a solo block and two block assists to lead a balanced Blue Jay presence up front. 

The Dig Pink event not only celebrated an important cause but also highlighted the Blue Jays' depth and momentum in conference play. The victory moves Westminster forward with confidence as they prepare for another home conference match against Blackburn on Wednesday, October 8, at 7 p.m.
