EUGENE, ORE. – The Long Beach State Women's Volleyball team suffered a 3-0 [18-25, 17-25, 16-25] road loss at No. 10 Oregon on Sunday afternoon at the Oregon Invitational.
The Beach (0-2) battled the Ducks (1-1) through 15 ties and seven lead changes over three sets, but ultimately came up short.
Senior outside hitter Natalie Glenn set the tone for Long Beach State as she recorded a team-leading eight kills, while hitting .350. Glenn also led the Beach in digs with nine, while adding one ace and one assist.
Sophomore middle blocker Ella Lomigora also turned in a solid performance as she led the Beach with a .400 attack percentage (5-1-10) and three blocks.
Senior setter Zayna Meyer dished out 21 assists, while senior outside hitter Abby Karich finished with five kills, five digs, two aces, and a block.
Long Beach State and Oregon fought each other through a competitive first set. The Beach hit .216 in the frame, while the Ducks hit .471. The Beach opened the match with a quick 2-0 advantage. The game went back-and-forth as the two teams traded leads five separate times. After scoring three-straight points, Long Beach State held a 16-14 lead over the hosts. However, Oregon would go on to close the set on an 8-0 run on the way to winning 25-18.
The second set began close as the two teams traded points early on. Oregon would go on to score four-consecutive points to take a 9-6 lead that it would never relinquish. Long Beach State chipped away at the Ducks' lead but never came closer than within two. Oregon took the second set, 25-17.
Trailing 2-0, Long Beach State pushed hard in the third set. However, several small Oregon runs put the Ducks on top, 11-7. The Beach managed to close the gap as they trailed by just one (12-11). But the Ducks would use a 6-0 run to open the game up and take an 18-11 edge over the Beach. From there, Oregon held the lead the rest of the way before earning a 25-16 win to complete the sweep.
