MALIBU, Calif. – The Oregon State volleyball team closed the 2024 season on Saturday at Pepperdine.
Despite winning the first two sets, the Beavers fell in five: 25-21, 25-17, 22-25, 12-25 to the Waves.

Defensively, Yasemin Narlioglu had a team-best dozen digs while Vivian Light followed with 10. Complementing the double-digit digs, Light had a career-best five service aces.

Looking to put the Waves away, the hosts turned it around and extended it with a 4-0 run when down one late at 18-17 for the last bit of momentum on the way to the 25-22 win. Pepperdine kept the pace for the rest of the match as they won the final two. Oregon State was held to a -.161 clip behind 10 attack miscues in the fourth before hitting just .136 in the decisive fifth set.
