The Aztecs pushed Pacifica to 22-21, but with one deep kill from Maile Lane and two ace serves from her sister, Kiani Lane, Pacifica advanced to the third round of the CIF with the 25-15, 25-13, 25-21 victory.
The Sea Wolves will face Fairmont Prep at Culver City High School on Saturday night at 7 p.m.

The Lighthouse Christian Saints had their backs against the wall after falling 16-25 and 22-25 in the first two games.
