EL SEGUNDO, Calif.---The Pilots beach volleyball team closed out the 2021 season on Friday at Dockweiler Beach with two West Coast Conference Championship match-ups against 13th-ranked Pepperdine and San Francisco. The Waves topped the Pilots by a 5-0 score in the first match of the day, and the Dons just overcame Portland 3-2 in the Pilots' final contest of the year.
The Portland 2's of Noelani Helm and Kellie Hughes won a close first set against the Pepperdine pair of Tanner Pemberton and Greta Corti, but the Waves' pair would battle back in the second to force a final frame and eventually seal the 2-1 win overall.
