In January 2010, the NCAA added sand volleyball to its list of Division I emerging sports for women with a start date of the 2011-12 school year. By August of 2011, Pepperdine was officially on board to compete during the inaugural season in 2012. Caitlin Racich, who came to Pepperdine as an outside hitter for the women’s indoor volleyball team, stepped down from her role to focus solely on sand volleyball. She was awarded the sand program’s first-ever scholarship. Racich grew up on the beaches of Santa Barbara, and had played for the USA Beach Volleyball Youth and Junior National Teams. In 2011, she competed at the 2011 FIVB Junior World Beach Championships in Nova Scotia, Canada. Summer Ross, another experienced and proven sand volleyball player, was added to the roster in January. Ross won both the FIVB Youth World Championships and the FIVB Junior World Championships in the same season and was subsequently named the 2010 USA Volleyball Beach Female Athlete of the Year. Veteran indoor head coach Nina Matthies was also charged with leading the Waves’ sand volleyball team. In addition to Racich and Ross’ experience, Matthies boosted her roster with talent from her indoor squad. Kim Hill, Lilla Frederick, Stevi Robinson, Kelley Larsen, Victoria Adelhelm, Kellie Woolever, Emily Cook, Michaela Christiaansen and Kelli Branning all saw playing time during the 2012 season, which ran from March to the end of April. The Waves quickly established themselves as the team to beat, opening the season with a first-place showing at the USC Invitational in Santa Monica. Pepperdine finished with 18 points followed by Florida State with 12 points. USC and Long Beach State each scored 10 points. Pepperdine’s first-ever dual match was played on March 21 at Long Beach State. The Waves emerged with a 3-2 win. On April 5, the Waves hosted their first event in program history, and welcomed the 49ers to Zuma Beach. The Waves once again won by a score of 3-2. The Waves finished the regular season with an 11-0 dual record and captured the automatic bid to the inaugural AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball National Team Championship in Gulf Shores, Ala. on April 27-29. Racich and Ross, as well as Hill and Frederick were extended invites to the individual pairs competition. On April 28, Pepperdine steam rolled through the team competition, shutting out the College of Charleston 5-0 before defeating Long Beach State in the semifinal. Pepperdine and Long Beach State squared off once again in the final, but the Waves proved to be too much and defeated the 49ers for the fifth time in 2012 to finish the season a perfect 14-0. The national title was Pepperdine’s 21st overall, but the first ever captured by a women’s team. Hill, Frederick, Racich and Ross were named to the 10-player AVCA All-American team in a ceremony following the match. Other members of the inaugural class include Jane Croson (Hawaii), Caitlin Ledoux (Long Beach State), Tara Roenicke (Long Beach State), Brittany Tiegs (Florida State), Jekaterina Stepanova (Florida State) and Aurora Newgard (Florida State). Hill also earned AVCA All-American first team accolades during her senior indoor volleyball season, making her the first and only student-athlete to make the first team in both sports in a single year. Racich and Ross took home national title No. 22 for Pepperdine the following day, winning the AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball Pairs Championship. The duo rallied back from an 11-14 deficit in the third set of the championship match against Roenicke and Ledoux to win 16-14. Eighteen total schools sponsored sand volleyball during its inaugural season including Long Beach State, USC, Hawaii, Florida State, Florida International, College of Charleston, Alabama-Birmingham, Florida Atlantic, Florida Gulf Coast, Jacksonville, Loyola Marymount, Mercer, North Florida, Stetson, Tulane, Webber International and Warner.

Marcio Sicoli, assistant coach for the indoor and sand volleyball teams at Pepper-dine, served as coach for beach volleyball legends Kerri

Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor during the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor entered the Games as the No. 3 seed, and went a perfect 7-0 to claim an unprecedented third-straight gold medal.

In April 2012, Sicoli coached the Waves to the fi rst-ever AVCA Collegiate Sand Vol-leyball National Championship, making him one of the few coaches to tutor a national champion and an Olympic champion in the same year.

ZUMA BEACH ZUMA BEACH

The Waves call Zuma Beach “home,” practicing and hosting all home events at one of Malibu’s most picturesque locations. Courts are located just beyond Point Dume when traveling from campus, or near the 29800 block of the Pacific Coast Highway. Pepperdine hosted its very first event on April 5, when they welcomed local rival Long Beach State. The Waves came through with a 3-2 win. Two days later, April 7, Pepperdine faced USC on the Zuma sand. After winning the team dual 4-1, Caitlin Racich and Summer Ross won the single elimination pairs’ tournament. Individually, the Waves have won 13 of the total 20 matches contested at home for a winning percentage of .650.
