Pepperdine defeated Long Beach State at home, 3-1 Tuesday night. Sophomore Jasmine Gross led the Waves offense with 13 kills and junior Nikki Lyons posted her 11th career double-double with 11 kills and 16 digs.

“We did an amazing job of executing our plays, and starting off strong in the first set gave us confidence for the rest of the game,” freshman Alli O’Harra said. “It helped us become a meshed unit and it really showed the continual growth we have gained from playing with one another.”

In the first set, Pepperdine jumped out to an early 9-3 lead off a service ace from Jasmine Gross and continued to put on an offensive show throughout, closing the set on a 7-3 run behind Gross’s red hot offense to take set one, 25-14.
