VB | Gaels Take Third Set, Fall to No. 20 Pepperdine in Four

MALIBU, Calif. — It's never an easy task to go on the road and take on a ranked team, and it's even more difficult to take a set in that scenario. That's exactly what Saint Mary's Volleyball did on Saturday afternoon in Malibu, going up against the 20^th-ranked team in the country in Pepperdine. The Gaels staved off elimination by winning the third set 25-19, but wound up dropping the first, second and fourth sets en route to a four-set defeat. The Gaels now sit at 3-3 in WCC play with an overall record of 6-8 as they head back home to Moraga.
