The Pacific volleyball team bounced back from a disastrous second set to give Cal Lutheran a scare. But the Boxers ultimately could not avoid the sweep, falling 3-0 to Cal Lutheran Saturday morning at home inside the Stoller Center.

Pacific got off to a strong start in the first set, leading 21-20 before the Regals responded with a 3-0 run and held on to win 25-22. 

The Boxers were never really in the second set as Cal Lutheran raced out to a 15-5 lead on its way to a 25-9 victory.

The third set was much more competitive. Tied 16-16, the Rebels went on a 4-0 run to ultimately put Pacific away 25-20.

Pacific junior Emma Velchek led the Boxers with 13 kills, two aces and nine digs.

Senior Logan Smith and junior Hannah Carlson each had six kills in the non-conference loss.

Next: Pacific hosts two matches against Pacific Union on Sunday beginning at 9 a.m.
