BELTON, Texas – The Pacific women's soccer team had its offense rolling early and often in a 5-0 neutral site victory over Howard Payne at Cru Sports Plex.
 
Playing at Mary Hardin-Baylor's home pitch, the Boxers offense fired off six shots in the opening 15 minutes of the match, before breaking through in the 19th minute when senior Ashley Park-Hunt (Mililani, Hawaii) opened her season account on an assist from senior Lucy Almao (Orange County, Calif.).
 
Sophomore Tia Kinilau (Waikele, Hawaii) scored her first goal of the year when she found the upper-90 in the 20th minute to give Pacific a 2-0 lead over the Yellow Jackets.
 
Pacific scored its third goal in less than five minutes as senior Deanna Quadrel (Richland, Wash.) finished off a corner from Almao.
 
The Boxers continued to push the offense in the second half when Almao scored an Olimpico, bending her corner kick directly into the net.
 
Pacific's scoring kick wrapped up in the 83rd minute when sophomore Kira Negrete (Lakewood, Calif.) struck for her first collegiate goal.
 
The Boxers wrap-up their trip to Texas with a Saturday evening showdown with Mary Hardin-Baylor.
