Fresh off an earlier win against Westcliff, No. 4 Pepperdine Men’s Water Polo capped their Friday, Sept. 14 doubleheader with a 13-8 win against local rival, the No. 11 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos.
The Pepperdine Waves improved 7-1 with the win over Santa Barbara. The only loss of the season was against No. 1 University of California, who defeated the Waves in two overtime periods with a final score of 10-9.
“We knew the big game of the day was Santa Barbara,” Head Coach Terry Schroeder said.
