The Pepperdine Waves came into Firestone Fieldhouse Wednesday night and beat the only team that hadn’t lost a game in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation: the UCLA Bruins.
Ranked #3 overall, the Waves held onto their undefeated record and managed to shut out UCLA in straight sets, 3-0. Josh Taylor led the offensive attack with 14 kills while Nikola Antonijevic had nine blocks on the defensive side.Â
UCLA came into Pepperdine ranked #1 overall. Losing the game snapped a nine-match win streak for the Bruins and tied the team with Pepperdine in the league standings.Â
Next up, Pepperdine hosts #8 UC Santa Barbara at 7pm on Saturday.
