NORTHRIDGE, Calif. – The Long Beach State women's volleyball team got back on the winning track with a 3-1 [25-11, 25-20, 20-25, 25-20] victory over CSUN on Saturday night at the Matadome.
With the win, the Beach improve to 8-9 overall and 2-4 in Big West Conference action, while the Matadors drop to 2-14 on the year and 1-5 in league play.
Long Beach State got off to a strong start as the Beach hit a whopping .481 in the first set to blow by the Matadors. The Beach held the Matadors to a .000 attack percentage in the frame as LBSU cruised to a 25-11 victory.
The Beach used that momentum to jump out to a 3-0 lead to start the second set. However, CSUN managed to get back into the game and after a 4-1 run, tied the score at 15-15. Despite, the Matadors evening the score, the Beach were unfazed and jumped back out in front 19-15 after rattling off four-straight points of their own. From there, LBSU led the rest of the way and came away with a 25-20 win.
Once again, Long Beach State took a quick 3-0 lead, but this time, CSUN would battle back several times and fight LBSU through several times before taking the third set, 25-20.
After having dropped the fourth set, Long Beach State got back into the swing of things and hit .394 in the fourth set. However, the frame began as a back and forth affair, before LBSU used a 5-1 run to take a 12-10 lead and never looked back. The Beach held the lead the rest of the way and won the set and match, 25-20.
Kashauna Williams led all scorers with 11 kills, while adding four blocks and three digs. Erykah Lovett finished with a double-double as she racked up 10 kills and 14 digs to go along with three total blocks, and one ace. Katie Kennedy rounded out the double-digit scorers for the Beach as she tallied 10 kills on a .368 attack percentage, while adding a pair of blocks.
Tia Chavira set a solid game for the Beach as she dished out 41 assists to go along with nine digs and five kills on a .444 clip.
