Pepperdine Men’s Water Polo hosted their up-the-coast rivals, the University of California, Santa Barbara, on Sept. 11 in Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool. The No. 12 Waves won a tight game over the No. 19 Gauchos 15-14 in a sudden death overtime.

This was Pepperdine’s second win of the day after a 22-7 victory over Whittier.
