Pepperdine sophomore setter Bryce Dvorak sets up a teammate versus USC on Feb. 23. Dvorak contributed to the effort with seven blocks and two kills.

No. 7 Pepperdine Men’s Volleyball (7-5) defeated No.5 University of Southern California (11-3) in a five-set thriller Feb. 23.

Though the Waves had historically found success against the Trojans, this year the Trojans had surprised everyone when they came from being unranked to now No. 5 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation standings. The Waves split the season series with Grand Canyon University and were able to bounce back with a victory over USC.
