NU Sweeps Boxers in Home Opener

Eagles team up for one of 12 blocks on the night.
Box Score KIRKLAND, Wash. – Northwest University made quick work of their match with Pacific University as they defeated the Boxers in straight sets, 3-0 (25-15, 25-16, 25-11) in their home opener tonight in front of a boisterous crowd in the NU Pavilion.
 
It took the Eagles one hour and twenty minutes as their defense forced 20 Pacific errors while committing just 7 of their own. Northwest U's front wall blocked 12 Pacific kill attempts.
 
Leading the way for Northwest U (4-2) was Amanda Waterman with 8 kills and 6 digs. Morgan Pilon lead the team with a match high 18 assists while freshman Emmaline Stockton finished with 13 digs. NU hit .262 as a team. Leia Roy and Alysanne Van Dyke each had two service aces for the Eagles.
 
For Pacific University (0-1), Tiare Kaopua led the way with 10 kills and teammate Lia Zablan had 10 defensive digs. The NU defense held Pacific to -.080 hitting as a team.

Said Coach Steve Bain, "There was great energy in the gym tonight and I thought our players fed off that energy from the opening serve to the final point. Overall, I was pleased with our approach and except for a lull in the second half we stayed on task and were very efficient in serve-receive and in our transition offense."
 
Northwest U will open Cascade Conference play this weekend as they travel to Portland to play Warner Pacific and conference newcomer, Multnomah on Sept. 4 and 5.
