La Jolla, Calif. — Long Beach State's Matt Morris scored four goals as the Beach defeated No. 11 UC San Diego, 13-11, Wednesday night.
Morris scored the game's first three goals as the Beach (14-4) took an early 3-0 lead in the first four minutes of the match.
Alika Naone gave the Beach a 4-0 lead before the Tritons (9-7) outscored the Beach 3-1 in the final two minutes to cut LBSU's lead to 5-3 after the first quarter.
In the second period, Rafael Real Vergara opened the scoring in the first 30 seconds to give the Beach a 6-3 lead.
At halftime, the Beach led 9-5.
In the second half, the Tritons mounted a comeback outscoring the Beach 6-4.
The Beach's defense bent, but never broke as they held UCSD to 4-of-12 on powerplays and Andrej Bosanac had 11 saves in the cage.
