Warriors Rise in NCAA DII Building PacWest Momentum
The Warriors achieved extraordinary 2025 spring seasons, showcasing championship moments, record-breaking performances and standout student-athletes who left their marks in competition. From the baseball diamond to the track and beyond, the Warriors proved once again why their legacy continues to grow stronger with each season.
Westmont baseball turned in one of the most dominant campaigns of the year, capturing both the PacWest Regular Season Title and the PacWest Tournament Championship. Led by a mix of veteran leadership and rising stars, the Warriors demonstrated resilience and consistency in every series. Their title-winning performance punched a ticket to the NCAA West Regional, where they battled their way to the regional final, coming within one win of reaching the NCAA Super Regionals. Individually, left-hander Ryan Humphreys ’25 achieved PacWest Pitcher of the Year and West Region Pitcher of the Year. Behind strong pitching, timely hitting and a deep lineup, the team succeeded statistically and symbolically with the program’s upward trajectory. Each game reflected a unified and prepared team hungry to add to its legacy.
Westmont track and field delivered an exciting mix of individual brilliance and team success during the spring. On the women’s side, the 4x100 meter relay team (Grace Soberanis ’28, Kennah Shaffer ’27, Jaiden Rodrigues ’25 and Charlotte Williams ’26) turned heads by breaking their own program record five separate times throughout the season. Their chemistry, speed and competitive drive embodied the Warrior spirit. On the men’s side, David Oyebade ’26, recipient of the WESPY for Unsung Hero, continued his steady rise as one of the top throwers in school history. He set the Westmont hammer throw record multiple times this season, building on each performance and manifesting growth and determination. His humble nature and team first mindset made his individual accomplishments even more special.
In the pool, Kate Spraul ’28 emerged as a breakout star for the women’s swimming team, earning the WESPY for Newcomer of the Year and establishing herself as a program-defining talent. At the PCSC Championships, Sproul shattered four school records, rewriting the Westmont record book in her first year of collegiate competition. Her combination of speed, focus and relentless training gave Westmont fans a glimpse into a bright future for the program. In a sport where milliseconds define greatness, Spraul wasted no time making her mark.
Both the men’s and women’s tennis teams saw several key players emerging during the season. On the men’s side, Austin Stone ’27 proved to be a force on the court, earning All-PacWest honors both as an individual and as part of a
doubles team. His competitive spirit and consistency anchored the Warriors in numerous matchups. For the women’s team, Francesca Aguirre ’25 capped off her Westmont career with a stellar season, demonstrating poise, leadership and competitive fire.
Westmont’s golf teams made their presence felt throughout the spring, delivering noteworthy performances both individually and as squads. Hannah Camara ’27 of the women’s team earned First Team All-PacWest honors, thanks to a consistent season filled with top finishes and steady leadership on the course. Her performance has helped set a new standard for the program. On the men’s side, Tyler Williams ’26 earned his spot on the All-PacWest team, standing out as a reliable scorer and an encouraging leader for his team.
In a season filled with highlights, Adrian McIntyre ’25 consistently stole the show in men’s basketball, delivering one of the most prolific scoring seasons in Westmont history. He set multiple single-game and season scoring records. With an unmatched ability to take over games, McIntyre became the heartbeat of the Warrior offense as an elite shot-creator, relentless competitor and emotional leader. His efforts earned him the individual honor of PacWest Player of the Year and selection as a First Team All-American, which reflect his stats, leadership and impact on the team’s success. Backed by McIntyre’s brilliance and a cohesive supporting cast, the Warriors reached a significant milestone: qualifying for the PacWest Tournament for the first time in program history. This fitting reward capped a season of buy-in, belief and breakthrough moments. Every win — and even the close losses — carried the weight of progress.
The story of the women’s basketball season focused on emergence: a young and hungry roster grew with every game and ultimately delivered a result never seen in women’s basketball history. Led by a dynamic group of both veterans and underclass students, the Warriors punched their ticket to the PacWest Tournament for the first time, proving that youth creates no barrier when matched with grit, energy and a shared belief in the process. In addition to making the tournament, the group won a game in the quarterfinal round, becoming the first women’s team in school history to win a PacWest postseason game. The win offered a glimpse into what the future holds. With a talented core returning and the experience of postseason success in their DNA, the women’s team is poised to build on this year’s momentum and write the next chapter in the program’s rise.
