Friday, Feb. 27 - Beach Volleyball (0-2) vs. Saint Mary's (3-1), 12 p.m. - Pacific is going for its first win over the Gaels since the 2015 season after going 0-2 versus SMC last year. The Tigers and Gaels have not met on a neutral court since 2023. 

Friday, Feb. 27 - Softball (4-11) hosts Fresno State (4-7), 3 p.m. - The Tigers play host to the Bulldogs for the first time since 2023 when Pacific pulled out the 3-1 victory.

In both games she had her strikeout pitch working, becoming the first Pacific pitcher since 2020 to have multiple games with seven-plus strikeouts in the same season and the first since 2024 with seven or more strikeout in a game period. The two games against UCSD represent the first in program history.

Saturday, Feb. 28 - Beach Volleyball (0-2) vs. San Francisco (2-2), 12 p.m. - Should the Tigers avenge last weekend's loss to the Dons, it would be the first time since 2022.

Saturday, Feb. 28 - Softball (4-11) hosts Fresno State (4-7), 2 p.m. - Last season Pacific participated in a non-conference classic in Fresno. Senior Amanda Bricker enjoyed good success against the Bulldogs, knocking three base hits between the two games and drove in a run. 

Saturday, Feb. 28 - Women's Basketball (11-16, 6-10 WCC) at San Diego (9-20, 3-13 WCC), 2 p.m. - In the regular season finale, Pacific could be playing a game that decides the Tigers will be playing on day one or two of the upcoming WCC Conference tournament. The team enters the week tied with Saint Mary's for the eighth spot, which if the Tigers can claim means they get a bye into the second round. In the last meeting between the Tigers and Toreros, Pacific pulled out a close contest on the backs of double digit efforts from Sydney Ward, sophomore Daria Nestorov and true freshman Liv Yergensen. Pacific has not lost at the Jenny Craig Pavilion since the 2022-23 season.
