Zake and Porath lead the attack

CSB Take
Pacific’s first-set response showed the value of a sustained service run. The Tigers could not maintain that level as Seattle U gained control at the net. Reducing attack errors and finding more consistent ways around the block remain priorities after another conference loss.
