SAN BRUNO, Calif. – The Pepperdine University women's tennis team has been selected to win the West Coast Conference crown for the upcoming 2019 season, the league office announced Wednesday. Portland was picked to finish eighth in the poll, which was voted on by the league's head coaches.
Pepperdine was the unanimous selection to win, garnering nine first place votes as conference policy prohibits coaches from casting a vote for their own team. The Waves won their sixth straight WCC Championship last season and 14th title in the last 16 years.
Loyola Marymount was picked to finish second, while Gonzaga collected the final first-place vote and was third overall with 62 points.
