The service game for the Pacific University volleyball team played a key role in a split of its two matches at the Pacific Hawaii Invitational at Le Jardin Academy in Kailua, Hawaii.

The Boxers (3-3) started the day with a heartbreaking, five-set loss to Simpson as they fell by a 20-25, 20-25, 25-15 25-19, 15-12 decision. Pacific committed 15 service errors in the loss. Offensively, Pacific was led by a 16-kill performance from junior Jordan Zweifel, who recorded a .211 hitting percentage. Pacific managed to hit .109 in the loss. Milana Ivkovic added nine kills and four blocks to the contest.
 
Pacific came back with an improved performance on the service line in the nightcap against Wells, winning in straight sets and recording 19 service aces. One of the six Boxers with a service ace was junior Terina DeFries (pictured), who was playing in front of friends and family, had five service aces to lead Pacific for the Waimea, Hawaii native. Another Hawaii native, sophomore setter Makenna Mahuna had 30 assists as the Boxers' hit at a blistering .347 clip as Ivkovic and Zweifel each had nine kills in the win.
 
Pacific will wrap up its trip to Hawaii with a rematch on Sunday against both institutions before returning to Forest Grove.
