The Tigers jumped out early going on an 8-1 run to open up the first. Pacific maintained momentum through the set and were able to minimize errors to stay ahead of the Pilots.

Portland responded in the third earning a 7-3 lead to start the set. The Tigers worked back to tie the set up at seven, and then the two sides went point-for-point through the middle of the set. The Pilots and Tigers were level at 20 when Pacific used a string of perfectly placed kills to take the lead 23-20. Portland head coach Brent Crouch called a timeout to stifle the opposing side's momentum, and Sullivan came out of the break and hit her fourth kill of the match to bring the score to 23-21. Pacific won two of the next three points to win the set and the match.

The Pilots will drive west to Moraga, Calif. to take on the Saint Mary's Gaels on Saturday at 1 p.m.
