MALIBU, California – Who are the best Waves ever to wear a particular number on their jersey or cap? This series will aim to identify the most accomplished Pepperdine student-athletes, number by number.
 
Today, the greats who wore number four are listed.
 
First, some caveats:

• Student-athletes before a certain year may not be included, as complete numerical rosters only go back so far. For the eight sports that wear numbers, only women's soccer and women's beach volleyball have every roster available.

• In some cases, additional standout student-athletes from prior to those years were identified.
• Any student-athlete who received at least all-conference honors during this time, and others of note, were included based on current available information.
