UC SANTA BARBARA — The Gauchos won their only dual meet of the year in a dominant performance over Cal Poly in early October.

UC SAN DIEGO — The Tritons are 2-1 in dual meets this year with wins over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and UC Davis. Their lone loss came against California.

SEATING — Admission to all Pepperdine home swim & dive meets is free. Because of limited bleacher seating, fans may choose to bring a blanket or chair to sit on the hillside. Fans can park in the Firestone Fieldhouse lot. Parking may be limited and guests are advised to arrive early.

AWARDS — The Waves have tallied two conference weekly awards this season. Most recently, Alexandra Browne garnered the MPSF Athlete of the Week on October 29. Prior to the award, Browne won all four of her events in Pepperdine's dual meet against Westmont at Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool. She helped the Waves 400 medley and 200 free relay teams take first, while also winning both of her individual races.

Vivian Vallely earned the MPSF Athlete of the Week award on October 8. Highlighted by her second-place finish with a score of 283.50 in the 3-meter competition on Friday, Vallely qualified for NCAA Zones in the event for the second year in a row. She then earned another second place as she totaled 254.95 points in the 1-meter competition on Saturday.
