Wednesday, Jan. 14 - Men's Basketball (12-7, 3-3 WCC) at Santa Clara (14-5, 5-1 WCC), 7 p.m. - Coming off a 77-70 win at home, the Tigers will hit the road for a tough test against a Santa Clara squad that is 9-0 at home this season. Pacific has outrebounded all six of its WCC opponents this year and rank top-20 in the nation in rebounding margin.

Thursday, Jan. 15 - Women's Basketball (7-9, 2-3 WCC) at Pepperdine (10-7, 1-4 WCC), 6 p.m. - Winners of the last six meetings against the Waves, Pacific will look to once again flex a strong defense. In last season's sweep over Pepperdine, the Tigers twice held the Waves to under 45 points and has held their opponents to under 60 points in five of those six wins. In the team's most recent game, sophomore Winner Bartholomew scored 19 points - her second best game of the season scoring wise.

Friday, Jan. 16 - Saturday, Jan. 17 - Men's and Women's Track & Field at UW Preview - The Pacific track & field program opens in its first of two meets, taking part in the UW Preview, hosted by Washington in Seattle. The two-day meet marks the first of seven indoor events for the Tigers this year.

Friday, Jan. 16 - Saturday, Jan. 17 - Men's and Women's Track & Field at Nevada Invitational - The Tigers will also compete in the Nevada Invitational during the third weekend of January. Last year, Pacific tied a school record in the 60-meter dash, which was one of four records last year to be either tied or broken during the Tigers' 2025 campaign.

Saturday, Jan. 17 - Women's Basketball (7-9, 2-3 WCC) hosts LMU (9-7, 3-2 WCC), 2 p.m. - Similar to Pepperdine, the Tigers clamped down on LMU last season to pull of a season sweep. Pacific held the Lions to 51 and 49 points last season, the first time either school has been held under 60 points in consecutive games in series history. Sophomore Daria Nestorov figures to factor highly into the Tigers' defensive plan after notching a career-high six steals against Saint Mary's. 

Saturday, Jan. 18 - Men's Basketball (12-7, 3-3 WCC) at Oregon State (9-10, 2-4 WCC), 3 p.m. - The Tigers are going for the season sweep over the Beavers after winning the first meeting 84-53 at home. It was the largest margin of victory for Pacific in a West Coast Conference game since rejoining the league in 2013-14 as the Tigers shot .540 from the floor and 12-of-23 (.522) from three-point range. Pacific is 3-3 all-time against Oregon State but is going for its first-ever road win in the series.

Sunday, Jan. 18 - Men's Tennis hosts Jessup, 1 p.m. - The season opener for Pacific, the Tigers have three incoming freshmen ready to make an impact in Hasith Gummuluru, Reuben De Clerk and Zhora Chetverukhin. Under first year Head Coach Cliff Awuy, an assistant coach last season, the team will look to improve on a semifinals finish in the WCC Tournament. The team will also feature seven returnees led by junior Christof Schaertlin Coffey.
