By Riley Driscoll, Sports Information Graduate Intern

On Nov. 9, the Westminster volleyball team made history by defeating the MacMurray Highlanders in four sets to claim their first St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament title since 1998.

Senior Ashley Kistaitis was named the tournament MVP, while fellow senior Teresa Becker and freshman Eryka Wanyonyi earned spots on the All-Tournament Team.

The victory earned the Blue Jays an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. They will face regional host the University of Chicago on Nov. 15 in the first round.
