For the first time since the Gold Coast Conference Championship’s debut season in 2016, the Pepperdine Waves are its champions.
After fighting their way to a dominant 22-7 regular-season record, the Waves squeaked by Santa Barbara on Nov. 24 in a 10-9 overtime victory and had one opponent standing in the way of a potential conference championship.
“I’m just really proud of the guys,” Head Coach Terry Schroeder said. “A lot of adversity over the years, but the seniors turned this program around, and I couldn’t be happier for them.
