The physical and emotional aftermath of the Borderline Shooting and the Woolsey Fire affected all aspects of Pepperdine life, including the various athletic teams.

The threat of the fire on the Malibu campus and the resulting smoke gave fall and winter sports teams no choice but to reschedule, relocate or cancel games and practices.

Despite the losses suffered by the Pepperdine community, including Athletics, players and coaches said the teams overcame chaotic circumstances.

“We’ve got a lot of great people that focus on relationships and focus on who we are as people,” Women’s Volleyball Head Coach Scott Wong said.
