DAVIS, Calif. – The Long Beach State Women's Basketball team got off to a hot start and never looked back as the Beach defeated UC Davis, 66-45, on Saturday afternoon on the road. The victory marks the sixth-straight for the Beach.
LBSU (13-7, 7-2 Big West) shot 43.4 percent and led by as many as 26 as the Beach forced UC Davis (9-11, 5-5 Big West) into 25 turnovers in the conference showdown.
The Beach had four double-figure scorers led by Tori Harris's 14-point performance. Malia Bambrick added 13, while Kianna Hamilton-Fisher posted 12, and Ma'Qhi Berry recorded 10. Berry also led the squad with four assists, while Bambrick's five steals were tops on the team. Kristyna Jeskeova grabbed a team-best eight rebounds for the Beach.
Long Beach State was firing on all cylinders as they kicked off the game with six-straight points, then went on a 7-0 run capped by a three from Courtney Murphy to go up by 10 (13-3) with 2:30 remaining. Murphy would finish the game with eight points as the Beach held a 19-7 lead over UC Davis at the end of the first quarter.
After closing out the first quarter with three-straight points, LBSU continued its run in the second quarter as the Beach scored seven consecutive points to extend their lead to 26-7 after the 10-0 run. Long Beach State was on point throughout the frame as they outscored UC Davis 23-11 to take a 42-18 advantage into the locker room at halftime.
The Beach shot an impressive 55.6 percent (15-27) from the field in the first half and connected on 7-of-12 three-point field goals for a 58.3 percentage.
UC Davis stepped things up in the second half, but Long Beach State's already commanding lead was too much for the Aggies to overcome. Despite outscoring LBSU 18-16 in the frame, the Beach pushed their already large lead to 26 (44-18) in the quarter before taking a 58-36 lead into the fourth.
In the final quarter, the Beach were held to just 20.0 percent shooting, while the Aggies shot 44.4 percent from the field. Despite the difference, Long Beach State remained in control as the Beach cruised to a 66-45 victory.
UC Davis' Evanne Turner turned in a solid showing with a 20-point performance to lead all scorers, while Megan Norris added nine boards, and Tess Sussman dished out six assists and three steals.
Long Beach State will bring its six-game winning streak back home as the Beach host Cal State Fullerton on Thursday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
