MALIBU, California — The Pepperdine women's soccer team, now in first place in the West Coast Conference, closes out a four-game homestand on Saturday with a PCH Cup rivalry match against Loyola Marymount. The Waves have had back-to-back WCC Players of the Week in Brielle Preece and Isabel Nelson.
The Waves are atop the WCC table with 10 points, though the four teams with nine points (BYU, Gonzaga, Portland and Santa Clara) all have a game in hand.
MATCH #16 — Saturday (October 20) at Tari Frahm Rokus Field in Malibu, California: Pepperdine (8-6-1, 3-1-1) vs. Loyola Marymount (3-9-4, 1-3-1) at 1 p.m.
WATCH/ONLINE — The game can be seen on TheW.tv. Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Famer Al Epstein has the call. Links to both broadcasts and live stats can be found at PepperdineWaves.com.
OPPONENT — Pepperdine is 13-8-5 all-time against LMU, and 7-4-1 in games played in Malibu. Oddly, the Waves have won only one of the last five games played at Tari Frahm Rokus Field (1-3-1, win in 2014). Last season, the Waves won at LMU 1-0 on a Calista Reyes goal. The Lions come into Saturday on a three-game losing streak and with only one win in the last 12 games (1-7-4).
PCH CUP — An annual all-sport competition between two local rivals that are separated by just 19.1 miles of scenic coastline, the PCH Cup is in its 10th season of existence. Pepperdine has won seven of the nine years that this competition has been held.
LAST WEEK — Michelle Maemone scored in the second minute to give the Waves a great start against BYU on Saturday. And although the Cougars equalized in the 77th minute, Isabel Nelson headed in a corner kick less than a minute later to give Pepperdine a 2-1 home win. Christina Settles had the primary assist on both goals and Brielle Preece made a career-high 10 saves.
NOTABLE — All four of Joelle Anderson's goals this season have been game-winners and she's tied for second in the WCC in that category ... Brielle Preece is third in the WCC at 0.46 shutouts per game ... In the WCC team rankings, Pepperdine is tied for first in shutouts (seven) and third in goals-against average (0.99) ... The Waves are 7-1-1 in the last nine games and have only given up three goals in that time ... Twelve players have missed at least one game due to injury, eight of which have started a game this season ... Pepperdine has had nine players make their first career starts, and 10 of the 27 players that have seen action have been true freshmen or redshirt freshmen.
TICKETS — Single-game tickets at Tari Frahm Rokus Field cost $10 each for adults and $8 each for children under 12, seniors 65+ and alumni/Crest members. Groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets for $5 each.
NEXT — Pepperdine takes its final regular-season road trip next weekend, visiting Gonzaga (Friday, Oct. 26, 7 p.m.) and Portland (Sunday, Oct. 28, 1 p.m.). The Gonzaga game will be shown on ESPNU.
