"Every match these guys surprise me," Head coach Brett Masi said. "They want to show everyone that they deserve to be where we are. It can get a little crazy at Pepperdine to play and the guys handeled it well - handled the pressure well. I think all the tough, away matches we have had so far really paid off. This was the best road match I've seen the guys play. This was the first time I've ever won here, also grabbing my 100th win. There's a lot of people to thank for that. I am veyr proud of the guys. Even though we were the better team it's always nice to beat the Waves."
