Long Beach State (14-10, 5-1 Big West) took the early lead after two straight goals from freshman Zelma Koka on back-to-back counter attacks. UCD got one back before a beautiful backhand goal from freshman Daniela Quinzada Gonzalez gave the Beach a two-goal lead. The Aggies scored a late goal as the Beach led 5-4 at halftime.
Spaniards Martina Cardona and Elisa Portillo both added penalty shots goals as LBSU maintained the lead on the second half, 7-5. The Aggies responded but junior Ellie Goren sneaked one in off a rebound to head into the last quarter, 8-6.
Goren opened the last quarter on an extra player opportunity and extended the Beach lead, 9-6. Oliver made crucial saves to hold off the Aggies. A late goal by Jamie Oberman gave the Beach an important win over UC Davis, 10-7.
The Beach will close regular season on the road for the Black and Blue Rivalry Game on April 17 at 7 p.m.
