Athletics: Record Win 22 Clinches Outright WCC Regular Season Title for No. 7 Men's Tennis, 4-2 at No. 28 Pepperdine

Seventh-ranked San Diego Men's Tennis locked up the outright WCC Regular Season Championship title with a 4-2 win on the road over their rivals, No. 28 Pepperdine on Friday afternoon.

A week after clinching the program's fourth straight conference title, the Toreros made it yet another stand-alone championship, no sharing of the trophy or 'co-champion' title. USD also claimed it's 22^nd win of the regular season (22-3), the most since 1990 and a program record. San Diego finishes a perfect 7-0 in conference play for the first time since 2022.

"Another heck of a match in Malibu," head coach Ryan Keckley said, winner of eight regular season conference titles in nine full seasons as head coach of the program. "This team came to play and this win was defined by handling the big moments down the stretch."

The regular season title is not only the fourth-straight WCC Championship for the Toreros, but seventh in the last eight years, 10th in the last 12 years and 13^th overall in program history. USD has topped the Waves in a third-straight match, sixth in the last seven, 9th in the last 11, 15th of the last 18 matchups since 2014.
 
Next, the Toreros will take on the WCC Tournament back home in San Diego as the No. 1 seed, taking place at the Aztec Tennis Center from Thursday, April 24 to Saturday, April 26. USD is also poised to host the NCAA Tournament first and second rounds for the first time in program history.
