They maintained their lead despite solid blocks from Reese Resmer and Ella Coppock. Paige Rudolph added to the score with well-placed spikes that kept the pressure high. The Shamrocks ended the set in their favor 25-12.
The Millers brought renewed energy into the second set and took the lead to gain some momentum.

The Shamrocks took the lead again with hits from Laynie Holman, which consistently found holes in the Millers’ defense. They finished strong and ended the set in their favor 25-17.
Tension filled the gym as both teams entered the third set, knowing this was the make-or-break moment. The Milers put up a fight with Resmer and Coppock continuing to maintain their powerful blocks at the net. But the Shamrocks found ways around it, finding different clever ways to gather points.

After a hard-fought match, the Shamrocks’ consistency led to a final set win of 25-16, and a 3-0 win overall to carry on their undefeated streak. Westfield is 11-0.
