The third set never got any better for the ladies. Westminster took an early 9-4 lead and Geneva could never get any momentum going, eventually falling, 25-12.
Veon led the offense with eight kills. Geneva was its own worst enemy at times. Westminster only held a 36-32 advantage in kills in the match, but the Golden Tornadoes made 25 attack errors, compared to just six for Westminster, and eight service errors, compared to just one for the Titans. As a result, Geneva hit just .050, while Westminster finished with a .261 hitting percentage.
The women will try to rebound on Saturday when they hosts Grove City at 1:00 p.m. The match is the last non-conference match of the season for Geneva before it starts conference play next week.
