PROVO, Utah – West Coast Conference champion and No. 15 BYU women's soccer travels to face No. 12 Pepperdine on Saturday Nov. 8 at 1 p.m. PT.
The game will be broadcast on TheW.tv with Al Epstein and Jen Karson calling the game.
The Cougars (13-3-3, 7-0-1) clinched their third straight West Coast Conference title on Saturday with a 4-0 win over Pacific. While Saturday's game doesn't mean anything in the conference standings, the result could hold some sway in where teams end up in Monday's NCAA College Cup bracket.

Eight players have scored multiple goals for BYU this season and eight have multiple assists, as well. Ashley Hatch leads the conference in goals, while Niki Fernandes is tied for second in assists, Elena Medeiros is fourth in assists and Michele Murphy and Hatch are tied for fifth.
Pepperdine (14-2-3, 5-1-2) is just the second ranked opponent BYU will face this season after the Cougars beat Long Beach State to begin their current 13-game unbeaten streak.
