For the 2018-2019 school year, the Pepperdine Riptide Rally Crew aims to have its most significant impact to date. Riptide is a student-led rally group focused on elevating the spirit of home games through organized cheering. They are led by Hilary Koenig who joined the Pepperdine Athletics staff in June of 2017. She works as the Marketing and Events Manager for the Athletic Department and has made strides in establishing Riptide as a highlight of every home game. Here’s an in-depth look at Riptide and some of the events that they have planned this year.
