Third time is the charm against Pepperdine, championship within grasp

by Tyler Bindi | Staff Writer

The Saint Mary’s men’s basketball team moved on to the West Coast Conference title game with a 81-66 win over the Pepperdine Waves. The Gaels improved to 27-4 with the win, while the Waves fell to 18-13.

Saint Mary’s was finally able to beat Pepperdine, after falling to them twice during the regular season. The Waves were the only team in the WCC that the Gaels had yet to beat, but head coach Randy Bennett and the rest of the team were able to check that off of their list after Monday night’s impressive victory.
