LONG BEACH, Calif. - LBSU Beach Volleyball will participate in the Battle for LA on Friday and Saturday against four ranked opponents. 

No. 8 Beach Volleyball will be at Mapes Beach on Friday where they will take on the host, No. 1 UCLA at 10 a.m. and No. 6 Cal Poly at 2 p.m. The next day they will play at Merle Norman Stadium taking on No. 3 USC at noon and No. 16 Washington at 2 p.m. 

The Beach moved up two spots in the rankings after their first win over No. 9 Cal since 2016. The first, second, and fourth flights secured the win over the Bears. Many familiar faces helped the Beach grab their second win of the day against Pepperdine, including the first flight of Malia Gementera and Taylor Hagenah. The pair was named the Big West Pair of the Week for their efforts this weekend.
