MALIBU, Calif. - The Iowa State soccer team fell, 3-0, to No. 19 Pepperdine on Friday night at the Waves' Tari Frahm Rokus Field.

Pepperdine's Megan Woods scored the game's first goal, connecting on a strike from ten yards out to take the game's early lead in the ninth minute. The Waves' then added their second score of the night when Jennifer Brewster collected a loose ball in front of the Cyclone goal and struck the net in the 13th minute. Pepperdine's Ashley Swanson concluded the scoring in the 63rd minute when she converted a free kick from 30 yards out by bending the ball over ISU goalkeeper Laura Boyer's head.
