What was supposed to be a two-day tournament at the Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool turned into third-place finish at the condensed version of the 10-team Malibu Invite. The two visiting Division-I teams, California Baptist University and Texas Christian University, challenged the Waves in the lanes.
Following an astounding victory, 217-66, at the PCSC Relays on Oct. 4 and a 60-66 loss at the home opener to San Diego State University, the Pepperdine Waves hoped to rise above the Lancers and Horned Frogs.
