Women’s basketball snags No. 22 spot

The Pepperdine women’s basketball team was listed in the No. 22 spot in a preseason ranking by Street & Smith’s magazine, an annual specializing in reliable rankings of baseball, and college and pro women’s and men’s basketball and football.

The women have acquired a 108-48 record over the last five years, ending in NCAA Tournament berths in 2000 and 2002. They have won or tied for the West Coast Conference title three of the last five seasons, and entered post-season play for the last four years.

The Waves open their 2002-2003 season at home on Nov. 22 against Xavier. The 27-game schedule includes home games against Arizona, UCLA and University of Southern California, and two tournaments at Firestone Fieldhouse.
