PCH Cup

PCH Cup Championships: Pepperdine 11 - LMU 3

Separated by 19.1 miles of scenic coastline, longtime crosstown adversaries Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine have come together in an effort to boost their decades-long rivalry with the creation of the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) Cup.

The series serves as an annual scorecard for the NCAA-sponsored athletic contests between the Lions and Waves, and challenges each institution to rise above the other.

Wells Fargo began sponsoring the PCH Cup prior to the 2011-12 competition.

LMU and Pepperdine are represented by 12 of their intercollegiate athletic teams through both regular and postseason competitions over the course of the academic calendar.

One point is awarded for both home and neutral-site wins, including conference championships; however, 1.5 points is earned for road victories.

Scoring is as follows:
  • A point will be awarded for any head-to-head meeting in the sports of men's and women's basketball, men's and women's tennis, women's indoor and women's beach volleyball and men's water polo (this includes any regular-season or postseason games).
  • A point will be awarded to the better overall finisher at the conference championships for men's and women's cross country, men's golf and women's swimming/diving. This could also be extended to sports such as beach volleyball if the two schools do not meet head-to-head in the regular season.
  • The three-game baseball series is worth one point; however, any additional games played in the postseason are each worth one point.

The university with the highest point total accumulated throughout the year will be named PCH Cup champion and awarded the PCH Cup.
