PAXTON, MA - On Thursday, September 26th the Anna Maria College women's volleyball team hosted the Westfield State University Owls for a non-conference matchup. The AMCATS lost the game 3 sets to 0.

The Owls took control of the game early after winning the first set 25-15 over the AMCATS. Trailing 1-0, the AMCATS had a promising start to the second set of the match, however the Owls were quick to tie things up and regain control. Despite the AMCATS early effort in set two, they would still find themselves falling 25-16, bringing them to a 2-0 deficit. Unable to claw back in set three, the AMCATS fell early to the Owls and could not battle back as Westfield put up a dominating 25-11 set, resulting in a 3-0 sweep for the Owls. Annie Taylor led the AMCATS with 14 digs on the evening while Jana Hunt led the offense with six kills and 7.5 points.
