49er Polo Finishes Second at UCSD Tournament

Stewart Comes Through with Nine Goals For the Weekend

SAN DIEGO, CA-- The Long Beach State women's water polo team (2-2) finished second at the UC San Diego Tournament, defeating Hawaii 6-3 before falling 7-6 to Loyola Marymount on the second day of the tournament. New Zealand freshman Roberta Stewart tallied a team-high nine goals for the weekend, including five on the team's final day. The win over Hawaii earlier in the day, proved to be the tiebreaker with the Wahine, as the Lions won the annual tournament in San Diego.

In game one against Hawaii, The Beach led 3-2 at halftime and extended it to 4-2 after three periods on their way to the victory. Stewart and Ashley Richardson, who finished with eight goals for the weekend, each had three goals.

In the nightcap, LMU was able to scored four times in the second period after the 49ers led 3-2 after the first period. Angelica Garcia and Stewart each had two goals for The Beach.

The Beach open up their home schedule on Saturday when they host USC at 12 p.m. at the campus pool.
