Tuesday, March 3 - Softball (6-14) at UC Davis (11-8), 2 p.m. - Pacific's first look at the Aggies this season, the scheduled mid week matchup in Stockton was postponed due to weather. However, a player to watch coming into the game is senior Amanda Bricker who hit three homeruns over the weekend at the Libby Matson Tournament, including two in one game versus UC San Diego.
Tuesday, March 3 - Baseball (5-6) at San Jose State (4-7), 6 p.m. - The Tigers continue their road swing through the beginning of March, heading to the Bay Area next to face San Jose State at Excite Ballpark.

The Rainbow Warriors are 2-0 against WCC teams this season, but sophomore Jonty Giesen and freshman Reuben De Klerk come into the match coming off 2-0 singles weekends.
Friday, March 6 - Women's Basketball (11-18, 6-12 WCC) at WCC Championships, 12 p.m. - Eighth-seeded Pacific earned a bye into the second round where it awaits the winner of nine seed Washington State and twelfth seed Seattle. The Tigers beat both teams in the regular season at home - should they face Washington State, it would be an opportunity to avenge last season's WCC tournament loss to the Cougars. In the win over WSU earlier this season, sophomore Daria Nestorov led the team with 15 points while senior Sydney Ward fell just short of a double-double.
Friday, March 6 - Baseball (5-6) at Nevada (4-5), 6:05 p.m. - The Tigers face their third straight Mountain West opponent on the road, going up against Nevada in a three-game series from Don Weir Field at Peccole Park. Pacific has found a steady Friday night starter in the form of redshirt junior Zach Todd, who owns a 1.80 earned run average in 15.0 innings.
Saturday, March 7 - Softball (6-14) hosts Utah Valley (12-7), 11 a.m. - For the first time in program history, Pacific hosts Utah Valley and is seeking the first series win since 2005. When the Wolverines and Tigers last matched up in 2003, Pacific Head Coach Sam Duran-Kukuk was on staff at UVU. Over the last ten games, the Tigers are averaging a shade under five runs per game and have three times eclipsed ten runs. Under Duran-Kukuk the team is 9-0 when scoring ten or more runs.
Saturday, March 7 - Men's Tennis (5-5) vs. San Diego State (4-8), 12 p.m. - A neutral court matchup in San Luis Obispo, Pacific and SDSU have shared many common opponents thus far. Both have fallen to California and beat UC Davis. The Aztecs defeated UC San Diego where Pacific fell, and SDSU has faced Tulsa, LMU and Gonzaga (0-3 in those matches) - all of whom Pacific will face later in the regular season.Â

Saturday, March 7 - Women's Tennis (3-8) hosts Illinois State (7-3), 12 p.m. - The Tigers come into the week riding a three match winning streak and are 1-0 all-time against Illinois State, having triumphed over the Redbirds in 2024. Junior Indiya McLeod scored points in both the doubles and singles portions of that win, and leads the team this year in singles wins with six.
Saturday, March 7 - Beach Volleyball (0-6) hosts San Francisco (3-5), 12 p.m. - Pacific's home opener of the season, the program is going for its first triumph over the Dons in three tries this season. In the most recent meeting, junior Makayla Beckett and sophomore Charlotte Gibson stole a court from USF.
Saturday, March 7 - Softball (6-14) hosts Utah Valley (12-7), 1:30 p.m. - Already with two saves this season, sophomore Kaytee Dahlstrom is one away from entering Pacific's record book in the single season saves category. With her next save, she would tie for sixth place - the current record is held by Tori Shepard in 2012 with seven.
Saturday, March 7 - Beach Volleyball (0-6) hosts Sacramento State (3-5), 2 p.m. - The second half of a doubleheader, the Tigers will try to avenge a home court loss to the Hornets a season ago. If Pacific were to win, it would be the first since 2021.
Saturday, March 7 - Baseball (5-6) at Nevada (4-5), 2:05 p.m. - The Tigers play the Wolf Pack in game two of the three-game road series. Nevada swept their home-opening series against Utah Valley, a team that Pacific split against to begin its 2026 campaign.

Pacific is 1-0 at home with a 23-6 victory over Fresno Pacific. Junior Laia Marsinach Ortega leads the Tigers with 27 goals on the year.
Saturday, March 7 - Men's Basketball (17-14, 8-10 WCC) at WCC Championships, 8:30 p.m. - After earning a double bye to the third round, Pacific will open the tournament against either Seattle, LMU or San Diego in Las Vegas. The Tigers finished in a tie for fifth-place in the regular season standings and earned the No. 6 seed. With a win, they'd advance to quarterfinals for the first time since 2019-20.
Sunday, March 8 - Men's Tennis (5-5) at Cal Poly (7-3), 11 a.m. - A rematch from last season, Pacific is going for a third straight win over the Mustangs. In last season's wins, Pacific got points from sophomore Vraj Patel, junior Christof Schaertlin Coffey and Jonty Giesen.

Sunday, March 8 - Softball (6-14) hosts Utah Valley (12-7), 12 p.m. - Redshirt senior Olivia Silvestre leads the team with a .389 batting average - she also leads the team in runs scored, hits and doubles. If she can reach 14 doubles, she would be the third Tiger in program history to be on the single season doubles list multiple times in her career - joining Barbara Moody and Nikki Armagost.
Sunday, March 8 - Baseball (5-6) at Nevada (4-5), 12:05 p.m. - Pacific wraps up the series with a Sunday matinee against Nevada. Redshirt sophomore Robert Orr had an impressive weekend at Grand Canyon, raising his batting average .359 following a 6-for-13 performance with a pair of home runs against the Lopes.
Sunday, March 8 - No. 25 Women's Water Polo (7-6, 1-1 GCC) at No. 17 San Jose State (6-9, 0-3 MPSF), 1 p.m. - Pacific concludes the weekend on the road and its second game in two days. The Tigers have won three of the last four against SJSU, but will make their first trip to San Jose since 2012 as 10 of the last 11 meetings have been at neutral sites.
