Even without Kabengele the Tigers pull it out over the Lions. You know it’s your day when you get a dig over net dribble kill in the 5th set.

So do you think there’s any possible way 3 WCC teams will make the post season? Any scenario that USD may make it?

Pepperdine will get the AQ bid and has the best RPI at 34 LMU has an RPI of 45 with two wins over San Diego, and trojansc sees them as unlikely to make the tourney... San Diego has an RPI of 74. Haven't beaten anyone great this season. I can't imagine how that high of an RPI and no top wins is going anywhere... This is a very, very DOWN year in the WCC, and will it get any better with the new larger power conferences beginning next season? (Pacific is at 132 with Saint Mary's right behind at 133. San Francisco 175, Santa Clara 212, Portland 273 and Gonzaga at 311! 😳😳🥴)

Please let the beatings stop for Gonzaga! Pepperdine whooped the woeful Zags 25-11 in set one and won set 2 25-14.
What irks me the most is Coach Wilson has spent the better part of this match sitting on the bench with her legs crossed and showing zero support for her players. The vibe of the entire staff is just awful.

San Diego found another gear in the fifth set, now up 14-3 and at match point.
And they take it 15-4 over Pacific.

There is no match thread for it, but today's marquee matchup is undefeated Pepperdine vs San Diego at noon PT. San Diego volleyball (15-9, 11-3 WCC) is set to continue West Coast Conference play on Saturday afternoon with a critical matchup at Pepperdine (17-6, 13-0 WCC).A win today will earn Pepperdine their first WCC crown since the 2011 season. Pepperdine finishes their conference play with San Francisco and Pacific, and then has scheduled an additional match against SMU on Nov. 20. Live StatsESPN+

I'm just not ready to accept the WCC is a 1-bid league. Even if San Diego beats Pepperdine today, it's not going to be enough to propel LMU.

The full WCC slate for today is:
Pacific vs. Gonzaga, 12 p.m., ESPN+ (Poor Gonzaga hasn't won a conference match yet this season, and won't get one in Stockton against the Tigers.) San Diego vs. Pepperdine, 12 p.m., ESPN+ (Pepp doesn't have any more home crowd advantage than most WCC schools, but I expect them to win in 4) San Francisco vs. LMU (CA), 1 p.m., ESPN+ (LMU should be able to get it done in 3 or 4 sets) Saint Mary’s (CA) vs. Portland, 1 p.m., ESPN+ (St. Mary's in 3, or possibly 4.)
Santa Clara is off.

Pepperdine took the first set 24-19 against San Diego. USD had a chance but then had trouble passing and committing multiple attack errors. USD’s offense is just very predictable with poor setting

Pepperdine clinched the WCC title with a convincing sweep of San Diego -19, -22, -17.
San Diego hit only .086 for the match. Everyone except Stoner struggled. Pepperdine hit .226 and were led by Chillingworth's 16 kills.

LMU is up 1-0 (25-13) on USF and leads 19-17 in the second.
LMU recognized 6 seniors prior to this senior match...Shaffer, Harper, Bareford, Harper, Walters, were the names I heard, and there was one more. (Shaffer's been playing since the 2018 season.)

Saint Mary's and Portland split the first two sets in Portland and are tied at 7 in the third set.
San Francisco had a 23-21 lead over LMU in set two, but LMU has come back with 4 straight points to go up 2-0.

Pacific beat Gonzaga in Spokane, but the Bulldogs managed to steal a set. Pacific plays Pepperdine on Thursday for their final home match...Pacific potentially has 5 seniors to recognize.
LMU now has a comfortable lead in the third set over USF and should cruise to a sweep.
Their RPI last week was 53. They should have a 17-7 record after today and two more wins next week vs St Mary's and Santa Clara. They will be on edge, hoping desperately for a bid to the tournament.
