A heated Pepperdine Men’s Volleyball matchup left the stadium on their feet in Firestone Fieldhouse on Jan. 30 when the Waves faced off against No. 7 Loyola Chicago.
Freshman outside hitter Cole Hartke posted a new career high in this matchup with 24 kills on a .475 hitting percentage, according to Pepperdine Athletics.
Pepperdine’s offense came out struggling, securing only seven kills with six of those being from Hartke.
Similarly to Pepperdine’s last matchup against Long Beach State, the Waves weren’t off to the best start and fell short in the first set with a 25-15 loss.
