Without ILS, with the incredible winds that day (gusting to over 50 mph), with the sun glare at dusk, I think we have some pretty likely reasons for this mistake.
Also, Taxiway Z is thankfully not nearly as busy as taxiway W which is directly north of Terminal C.
Thankfully, there were no injuries.
