After falling behind, 31-23, in the first half, Long Beach State came out firing in the second half as the Beach connected on 11-of-16 field goals for a hot 68.8-shooting percentage.

The Beach used a 17-0 scoring run in the third to break the game open and take a 48-36 lead into the final 10 minutes of action.
Although the Rams found their groove in the fourth and matched the Beach's 54.5-field goal percentage, Long Beach State's comfortable lead from the third quarter allowed the Beach to continue to hold a comfortable lead as LBSU came away with a 12-point victory (64-52).
Maddi Utti led the Long Beach State offense with a season-high 22 points, while also leading the squad with six rebounds, five steals, five assists, and two blocks.
