Pepperdine's women's volleyball team takes to the road for the final time of the 2004 season this weekend as it travels to Portland, Ore., and Spokane, Wash., for a pair of West Coast Conference (WCC) tilts. The Waves are a combined 65-5 all-time against the Pilots and `Zags and have not lost to either team since 1996.
Junior setter Melissa Mehlhorn leads Pepperdine with 15 double-doubles on the season, while averaging 12.20 assists- and 1.00 blocks-per-game. Senior libero Christina Hinds ranks 16th in the NCAA in digs-per-game and leads the WCC at 5.65 and needs just 72 more over the final four matches to become Pepperdine's all-time leader.
The Waves (8-13, 5-5 WCC) moved into a fourth-place tie in the conference last weekend with a 3-0 sweep over Loyola Marymount and have already topped both Portland and Gonzaga at Firestone Fieldhouse earlier this season, 3-1 and 3-0 respectively.
Pepperdine will wrap up is season next weekend against a pair of ranked opponents as #22 Santa Clara visits Malibu on Friday, while #19 San Diego will be in town for Senior Night on Saturday.
Both of this weekend's matches are slated for 7:00 (PT) first serves.
