Men’s Volleyball Completes Second Sweep of Weekend Against Wildcats

Published

on


Box Score MALIBU, Calif. –  The Pepperdine men’s volleyball team (2-0) secured their second sweep of the weekend Sunday afternoon, defeating the Wildcats of Daemen (0-2) in three straight sets.
 
“The two matches this weekend were good,” head coach Jonathan Winder said. “Both opponents were quality. Both matches we were able to have some really good service runs and stuff a lot of balls, so that is a good sign for [us.].”
 
With the most kills in the first set with 12, Grant Lamoureux led the charge with four of his own. The Waves pulled away from the Wildcats fairly early with the help of James Eadie serving six straight for five points behind the line. The set ended on a Ryan Barnett ace as Pepperdine took the early 1-0 lead with a 25-17 win.
 
The second set had an identical score to the first as Ryan Barnett and Cole Hartke both picked up four kills. Withstanding a potential momentum shift, the Waves remained steady going down early 7-3. It was Eadie for the second straight set who would lift Pepperdine out from the deficit, bringing them back to within one on four straight serves. Back-to-back blocks from Eadie, with assists from Barnett and Andrej Polomac, gave the Waves the 19-16 lead they would hold onto in the 25-17 set win.
 
In contrast to set two, the Waves took the lead from the jump in the third, never letting up. Barnett shined with five kills and two aces in the 25-14 victory. The biggest lead for the home team came on an ace from Noé Matthey at 9-18 before the final nine-point win to secure the sweep.

With the start of the new semester, UTA sports return as basketball continues its regular season while track and field, baseball and softball gear up for their spring seasons.

Men’s basketball

After falling 98-75 to Grand Canyon University in the Western Athletic Conference tournament last season, the team looks to carry its preseason momentum into the rest of the schedule as it makes a push for another appearance.

Before the team’s three-game win streak, the Mavericks saw a 69-63 loss to Tarleton State University to open the regular season. The team has a chance to get its first win of the season against Tarleton at 7 p.m. Jan. 21 at College Park Center.

The Mavericks will meet California Baptist University two more times during WAC play. The team’s first matchup this season evened the all-time series at 3-3, with the remaining games starting Jan. 31 and Feb. 26.

The Mavericks’ final home game will be against Utah Valley University at 2 p.m. Feb. 21 at College Park Center. The game will serve as a Senior Day matchup honoring UTA’s graduating players in a conference showdown.

The team will look ahead to the WAC tournament, with a chance to cap off the season with a championship push. The tournament will run from March 11 to 14 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

Women’s basketball

The women’s basketball team continues regular-season play, sitting at a 6-10 record. The team will open the spring semester against Utah Tech University at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at College Park Center. The all-time series is currently tied 3-3.

The Lady Mavericks look to wrap up their regular season with a Senior Day home game against Abilene Christian University on March 7. After this game, the team heads straight into the WAC tournament from March 11 to 14 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

Despite a rough start, head coach Shereka Wright looks to lead the Lady Mavericks into another tournament championship match and berth into the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. The 2024-25 season was capped with a single win in the WNIT and a loss to the University of North Texas to knock UTA out of the tournament.

Track and field

Track and field will start its indoor season with the Arkansas Invitational on Friday in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The team will follow up with the Robert Platt Invitational from Jan. 30 to 31 at the Yeoman Fieldhouse in Houston.

The team will conclude its regular season with two more meets. The final meet takes the team to Lubbock, Texas, to compete in the Jarvis Scott Invite from Feb. 13 to 14 at the Sports Performance Center.

Following these events, the Mavericks will aim to finish strong at the WAC championship from Feb. 27 to 28 in Spokane, Washington, looking to earn a bid to the NCAA Championship, which runs from March 13 to 14 in Indianapolis.

Baseball

The baseball team will start its 2026 season facing off against Northwestern State University on Feb. 13. The team will face a tough early challenge against Texas Christian University on Feb. 17 at Globe Life Field. The Mavericks will face the Horned Frogs again April 29 at Lupton Baseball Stadium.

The team will be on the road for a three-game series, where they will get a taste of Southeastern Conference play, pitted against the University of Arkansas from Feb. 27 to March 1 at Baum-Walker Stadium.

The team will wrap up its season with a final series in the WAC tournament from May 19 to 23 at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona.

The team will then host the Dream City Invitational from Feb. 13 to 15 at Allan Saxe Field. The Mavericks will face the University of Wisconsin, The University of Tulsa and Iowa State University, with an opportunity to build some momentum in front of a home crowd for the first time this season.
