Thursday, Nov. 20 - Men's Basketball (3-1) at Florida Atlantic (2-1), 4 p.m (PT) - In the opener of the Sunshine Slam, Pacific will play its first-ever game in the state of Florida as a program.

In that match, graduate Olivia Keller put up a strong 15-kill performance while senior Logan Blutreich was effective in the middle with ten kills and four blocks. A Pacific win would be the first in Moraga since 2022.

Saturday, Nov. 20 - Volleyball (8-17, 2-12 WCC) at San Francisco (5-20, 3-12), 12 p.m. - Pacific has been strong playing in the Sobrato Center, winning the last four meetings dating back to 2020, with two of those being 3-0 sweeps.

Saturday, Nov. 22 - No. 6 Men's Water Polo (15-7, 5-1 WCC), WCC Semifinals, 2 p.m. (PT) - The Tigers clinched the top seed after winning their second consecutive WCC Regular Season Championship and have a first round bye.

Sunday, Nov. 23 - Men's Water Polo Championship Match, 12 p.m. (PT) - If the Tigers win Saturday, they'll be playing for their first-ever WCC Tournament title since the championship began in 2023.

Sunday, Nov. 23 - Women's Basketball (1-3) hosts Cal State Fullerton (1-3), 2 p.m.- A former Big West Conference matchup, the recent series has belonged to the Tigers - winners of eight of the past nine meetings. The last time the Titans and Tigers faced off in 2023, senior Sydney Ward hit two three-pointers and grabbed six rebounds. This time, Pacific will look to sophomores Daria Nestorov and Winner Bartholomew to carry the load offensively as the team's top two scorers (9.0 points per game and 11.5 points per game respectively).
