WAVES HANDLE JACKS, 3-0
8/29/2026 8:57:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
MALIBU, Calif. - The SDSU Jackrabbits suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday on the road at Pepperdine, 3-0.
The Waves exploited the Jacks early and maintained control throughout, as outside hitter Chloe Pravednikov and middle blocker Ella Piskorz each recorded double-digit kills while hitting over .400.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Set 1: The Jacks traded points early with the Waves, but a 4-0 run by Pepperdine jolted the Waves ahead, where they took care of business against the Jacks, going on two separate three-point runs and taking the set 25-16.
Set 2: The Jacks fared better in the second set against the Waves, trading blows before hopping out to a 15-13 lead on the back of two kills from Marisa Michaelis. But the Waves would rally back first with a three-point run, followed by a four-point run and then finished off the set with another three-point run to steal the set from the Jackrabbits, 25-19.
Set 3: The two teams once again went back and forth in the third set, trading points all the way up to 9-9. A kill by Pepperdine's Pravednikov sparked a 6-0 run that put the Jackrabbits down by 8, 21-13. The Jacks fought back from 23-18 with consecutive kills by Hannah Mlsna and Hannah Klein, but Pepperdine held on to complete the sweep, 25-21.
