RECAP
Starting off a day of tie-breakers and extra sets in doubles action, Pepperdine had to rebound from a loss on court three to have a say in the doubles point. Evan Shamlian and Tim Zeitvogel did just that, defeating OU's Stewart and Martinez 7-5 to make way for Adrian Oetzbach and Daniel De Jonge on court one. The pair took their match in nail-biting fashion, going 7-6(4) over Bertsch and Emburgh to earn the doubles point for the Waves.

In singles, the Waves fell first on court six, but was followed by De Jonge on court one, taking his first set into a tie break 7-6(2) but then dusting Emburgh in the second set 6-0 to make the overall score 2-1 for Pepperdine. Zeitvogel had a scare early in his match as he dropped his first set 3-6 to Martinez, but stormed back and snatched the next two sets 6-3, 6-2 for an overall 3-1 score.

After a hiccup on court five, Oetzbach was next in line to finish a monster second set after winning the first in a tie-break 7-6(5). OU's Mandlik didn't go quietly, however, as he came back in the second to push it into a tie-breaker where the match was on the line for the Waves. The two went neck-and-neck until Oetzbach finally went up two on Mandlik, going 7-6(10-8) to remain undefeated on the season and clinch the match for the Waves at 4-2 before a Pepperdine loss on court two to make the overall final score 4-3.

UP NEXT
