Individual contributions have also played an important role in PAC’s success, with Daniel Booker and Benjamin Panzica delivering notable performances.
Daniel Booker Delivers on the Attack
Daniel Booker recorded 33 kills across the four featured matches, providing consistent offensive production throughout the weekend.

Booker also contributed six kills against PAC 17 Amado and seven against 118 18-Aaron. His production gave PAC a reliable attacking option in both its three-set battles and straight-set victories.
Benjamin Panzica Helps Set Up the Offense
Benjamin Panzica’s setting contributions were another part of PAC’s success. He recorded 29 assists in the three-set win over Pulse, helping support an offense that featured Booker’s 11 kills, Easton Ebmeyer’s 10 and Wesley White’s eight.
Panzica also finished with 22 assists and five digs against Vegas Aces. In the straight-set win over 118 18-Aaron, he added 24 assists and six digs, contributing to the attack while helping keep rallies alive.
