The Pepperdine Women’s Soccer team returned to their home field for the first time this season, resulting in a 1-0 victory against Brown on Aug. 24. After 1-0 road losses against Kansas and Texas Tech, this win was particularly important and was a morale-booster to start off the season.
The Waves soared through the first half, with the Bears proving no real threat to Pepperdine’s defense, providing a strong foundation throughout the game. Freshman Leyla McFarland and sophomore Joelle Anderson worked the midfield and assisted in the aggressive offense by maintaining possession for the majority of the game.
