Waves win a title

I was thinking that my next post would be a political one...one on the perils of the Bush Admin's No Child Left Behind Act, but I must first give props to the Pepperdine men's volleyball team. Saturday night they won their fifth national championship. What was so sweet about this one is that they beat UCLA at Pauley Pavillion. UCLA had never lost a tournament game in their gym (this includes 9 national championships). The match was a blast to watch. We won in comeback style, winning the final two sets to take it 3 games to 2.

I can't believe it has been 13 years since Pep's last championship. 1992 was a sweet year to be a Pepperdine student (this was my junior year). We won the men's volleyball title, the college baseball World Series, and the crowned Miss USA, Shannon Marketic, lived in the apartment right below me...I should have never let her go :-)

This year's the baseball team is showing some promise--they've beat quite a few top 10 teams. The women's golf team is ranked near the top too, so maybe we have more titles on the way in 2005? Stay tuned and I'll let you know what happens.
