SAN DIEGO – Wrapping up a 15-match road swing to begin the season, the Pacific volleyball program will head to San Diego for a 7 p.m. Thursday match at Jenny Craig Pavilion before playing its home opener Saturday against Santa Clara at noon at the Alex G. Spanos Center.
 
Pacific (10-4, 0-2 WCC) will be one of the last teams in the country to play a home game when it hosts the Broncos (4-7, 0-2 WCC). Though first, it will set its sights on a San Diego (6-6, 1-1 WCC) squad that split road matches last week by beating Gonzaga 3-0 and falling to Washington State 3-1.
 
The Tigers will be going for their first-ever road win at San Diego in program history. Pacific is 39-15 all-time against Santa Clara and have won the last four meetings.
 
Graduate Alexa Edwards ranks top-five in the country in total kills with 239 She leads the West Coast Conference in kills with 4.27 per set and points with 4.68 per set.
