In 2011 he was traded to the Chesapeake Bayhawks, then in 2016 to the New York Lizards.[4]

He was acquired by the Philadelphia Wings in the third round (37th overall) in the 2007 National Lacrosse League entry draft.[5] During the 2009 NLL season, he was named to the All-Star Game as an injury replacement.[6]
On September 13, 2013, Westervelt was traded to the Colorado Mammoth for Ryan Hotaling and draft picks.[7] He was not included in the published final roster for Colorado, so his status with that team is not known.[8]
