She earned Golden State Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors as well.

Weststeyn, a 6-3 sophomore from Visalia, recording 24 kills with just one error in 39 swings for an impressive .590 attack percentage as Biola swept former GSAC foe Point Loma Nazarene and No. 8-ranked The Master's College.
