IRVINE, CA-- Long Beach State (7-16, 3-9 MPSF) ended the regular season
on a four-game losing streak, dropping a 13-8 decision at No. 10-ranked

with four goals on Thursday and now has 11 over her last two games. Jackie

UCI goalie Lauren Machanis put up a road block in goal, making seven second
period saves, as the Anteaters built a 7-3 lead on back-to-back 6-on-5
goals to lead 7-3 late in the first half. Machanis finished with 13 saves.
Branwyn Lee cut the deficit to 5-3 off a rebounded save at 4:56, before
UCI then scored the first two goals of the third quarter over the first
2:07 and put the game out of reach.
Despite six first saves by Kim Hayes, including two at point blank range
on breakaways, UC Irvine took a 3-1 lead off of two goals from Jackie
