But the Boxers did give the Pirates an early scare, winning the opening set before ultimately falling 3-1 Saturday night inside the Stoller Center.

After edging Whitworth 25-21 in the first set, Pacific led 11-9 in the second before the Pirates answered with a 4-0 run and never trailed again, winning 25-17.

The Boxers went on a 4-0 run to take an 18-17 lead late in the third set. However, Whitworth responded with a 6-1 run to defeat Pacific 25-22.

The Pirates jumped out to a 12-2 lead in the fourth set before finishing off Pacific 25-12.

Senior Mara Murphy recorded 19 kills and 11 digs for the Boxers. Sophomore Emma Velchek had 13 kills and seven digs.

Senior Sarah Hon finished with 19 assists. Senior Danica Nelson added 24 digs. 

The Boxers, who are 1-7 in their last eight matches, dropped to 3-8 in the Northwest Conference.
