SCOUTING THE BRUINS
Out of their six matches played this season, the #17 Bruins have lost twice- both of which to highly-ranked USC. UCLA was invited to USC's hosting of the ITA Kickoff Weekend, where they defeated Cal 4-0 but fell to the Trojans 1-4. Since then, UCLA has defeated the likes of West Coast Conference fellow LMU, UCSB and UNLV while adding their second loss to USC in the midst.
 
The Bruins currently have two ranked singles players in #10 Keegan Smith and #22 Govind Nanda. The pair also make up the only ranked doubles team for UCLA, where they sit at #13.
 
The last time the Waves defeated the Bruins was in 2006, where Pepperdine defeated UCLA twice in route to the program's national championship.
 
SCOUTING THE ANTEATERS
UC Irvine has also played six matches and lost two this season, where they started off with a 4-3 win over LMU. The Anteaters then faced #1 USC and San Diego, losing both at 7-0 and 5-2 respectively. UC Irvine has won three-straight since the losses including matches over Fresno State, SDSU and Weber State.
 
The Anteaters hold no ranked singles or doubles players. The Waves hold the all-time series at 45-6.
 
SURF REPORT
During last Friday's match at #8 USC, sophomore Robert Shelton clinched the match in heroic fashion for the Waves in a 7-6(7), 5-7, 6-3 triple set match on court five.
 
Before the thriller, Daniel De Jonge and Pietro Fellin- who has yet to lose a dual singles match this season- helped set up the win. De Jonge collected an upset of his own by defeating #26 Mor Bulis on court three, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 while Fellin delivered the first Waves singles win of the afternoon going 6-3, 6-3 over Sean Holt.
 
Pepperdine also won the doubles point, giving them a 1-0 advantage to start singles play. De Jonge and Fellin won first on court three in a 6-0 blanking of Holt and C. Smith, while Guy Den Ouden and Adrian Oetzbach clinched the point on one at a7-5 score.
