The youth movement of Pepperdine’s women’s volleyball team is coming into fruition.
Last year was very much a transitional period for this Waves squad. After losing major players Katie Messing and Samantha Cash, the team suddenly became very youth-oriented, playing mostly underclassmen in starring roles, with the notable exception of star setter, senior Becca Strehlow. Still, their overall record improved in 2015 from the previous year, and so far the team seems to keep improving. After this weekend, the Waves now are in possession of a 6-3 overall record. Dyer says that she noticed the spike in quality play this weekend.
