Julia Quinonez, a sophomore forward for the Pepperdine Waves, was named the conference’s weekly award winner after a decisive stretch that saw her net three goals in just two matches.
A milestone in the making
Hailing from Torrance, California, Quinonez has been a workhorse, logging an average of 67 minutes per game and consistently influencing play on both ends of the field.
The Waves are set to host Cal Berkeley on Thursday at 3:00 p.m., a contest that will be streamed live on ESPN+ and tracked with real‑time statistics on the program’s website.
Pepperdine’s women’s soccer program boasts a storied history, having captured five West Coast Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA round of 16 on four occasions, underscoring the tradition behind Quinonez’s emerging legacy.
Head coach Tim Ward, who has compiled a career record of 320‑158‑78 with 24 winning seasons since the program’s inception in 1993, continues to shape a competitive environment that nurtures talent like Quinonez.
With 22 career goals, Quinonez sits one tally away from cracking the program’s all‑time top‑10 list, a milestone that would cement her place among the school’s most prolific scorers.
