Seeking to extend its winning streak to five matches, Pacific got off to a strong start in its Northwest Conference opener, winning the first set 25-23.

But it was all George Fox from there as the Bruins won three straight sets to defeat the Boxers 3-1 Wednesday night inside the Stoller Center.

After winning the second set 25-19, George Fox raced out to a 19-4 lead in the third game before winning 25-10.

While Pacific played a much closer fourth set, even trying the game at 15-15, the Bruins came out on top, 25-19, to win the match.

George Fox finished with a .331 hitting percentage, 62 kills and 12 aces while the Boxers hit just .152 in the loss.
