Pepperdine Women’s Basketball made program history by winning its first and second postseason games ever Wednesday, March 20 and Sunday, March 24.
The Waves defeated California Baptist 91-79 in the first round and Saint Mary’s 65-61 in the second round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT), both on the road.
The WNIT committee selected the Waves for the tournament for the first time since 2011, as the team reached the 20-win mark this season for the first time since 2010. The Waves, sent to Riverside to take on the Lancers, responded by getting the program’s first postseason win since the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women era in the 1970s.
