AZUSA, Calif. – PacWest season is officially here, as women's volleyball made history by being the first program to compete in an official PacWest match. In match eight of a nine-match road trip, Jessup opened the next era of the program with a 3-0 loss in Asuza.
Saturday's result brings to an end a four-match win streak for the Warriors. They are now .500 on the year with a 4-4 record.
Eliana Sheridan led the Jessup offense with nine kills, the most of all players on the court Saturday, doing so on a .208 attacking performance.
Madalyn Miller and
Delaina Hunt closed the match with six kills each. The Warriors hit just .088 as a team.
Defensively,
Neena Dimas' ten digs led the Warriors. Setter
Alexis Kepa led with 20 assists, with
Kenzie Carpenter coming off the bench for 13.
Jessup dropped the opening set 25-16, followed by a 25-21 result in favor of APU in the second. The third set saw a 25-18 finish, giving the Cougars the victory as they move to 2-0 in PacWest action.
Saturday was Jessup's fourth look at a PacWest opponent but the first to officially count towards their PacWest record. The Warriors played non-conference matches earlier in the month against Dominican, Fresno Pacific, and Academy of Art.
Next on the Jessup schedule is the finale of a nine-match road trip to begin the season. The Warriors will be in Atherton on Wednesday to take on Menlo. Jessup will then be home the next night for their first home match of the season.
