Pepperdine Women’s Soccer defeated PCH Cup rival Loyola Marymount on Oct. 29 at Tari Frahm Rokus Field with a 2-0 shut-out.

Senior midfielders Shelby Little and Carlee Giammona cashed in on goals this game. The Waves bounced back versus their loss against Brigham Young University on Oct. 19 with back-to-back wins at Pacific and LMU.

This was the Waves ninth shut-out of the season — a majority of their victories coming from strong defensive efforts heralded by junior goalkeeper Ellie Sommers, though it was freshman goalkeeper Harlee Head who delivered the shut-out.

The Waves’ offensive momentum seemed to come back through the back-to-back victories, as they controlled the momentum with 13 shots and held the Lions to just three.

The Waves close their WCC conference play with just two more conference games — the next one versus Saint Mary’s on Nov. 2.
