The Boxers won in straight sets for the ninth time on the season and the duo of Jordan Zweifel (13 kills and 10 digs) and Nanea Lum (13 digs and 10 kills) each had a double double to lead Pacific. In her first collegiate start, Shaianne Cambra had a match-high 37 assists.

The Blues (2-16, 2-10 NWC) were led by a 10-kill effort from Elyse Benavides in the loss, plus Tate Cadang had three service aces and Sophia Dominitz added four kills and four blocks.

Elika Unti led the Boxers to a first set victory with five kills as Pacific managed to hit .341 compared to .259 for the visitors.

The second set went back and forth with the score tied on nine occasions and four lead changes. For Pacific, it was a balanced attack with Zweifel, Lum and Milana Ivkovic each recording three kills en route to a .125 hitting percentage. Zweifel and Haley Walz each played a role in the set with five digs apiece and the Boxers recorded four blocks.

In the third set, it was a pair of block solos by Ivkovic and a match-high seven kills from Zweifel that sent the Pacific crowd home happy with the win. Lum added eight more digs to go along with three kills.

Pacific, who has won six of its last seven home matches, will host NWC leader, Whitworth on Saturday at 6 p.m.
