IRVINE, Calif. – Long Beach State looked to keep the momentum going from yesterday's win over CSUN as they headed into the final day of the Barbara Kalbus Invitational against San Jose State (3-3). LBSU kept the game tight to make the jump at sudden victory to beat San Jose State, 7-6.

The fourth quarter would pitch the same story as the Beach and Spartans would be tied, 6-6, with goals by senior Annabel Harman and Morrissey.
The game would shift into overtime where we would see Harman give the Beach the lead, 7-6 at the end of the first overtime. SJSU would tie things up at the end of double overtime, 7-7. Sudden victory would be where we would see LBSU take the win as freshman Sarah Barker would lift the Beach, 8-7.
At the end of the Barbara Kalbus Invitational, Hertzka jumped up to 30 total goals, while Morrissey makes it 15 goals on the season. Harman ties Morrissey with 15 goals on the season as well. Sophomore Olivia Grim has 10 goals on the season, while Mimidi now has nine goals on the season.
