The Waves took care of business Sunday afternoon, defeating the San Diego State Aztecs 2-0. After a quick first-half goal, Pepperdine dominated the statistics box the rest of the game but only managed one more score.
The Waves are no stranger to protecting an early lead. In their win over No. 2 Stanford on Friday, Pepperdine scored in the 19th minute before sitting back and protecting their one goal lead.
The Aztecs and the Cardinal are two different teams, though, and the Waves employed different strategies against each.
