Long Beach State has earned the pair of the week honor for the past four weeks.
LONG BEACH, Calif. - After another undefeated weekend at the Best in the West tournament, juniors Malia Gementera and Taylor Hagenah were named the Big West Pair Of The Week. Â
This is their fourth pair of the week title this season, the most for any Long Beach State duo in a single season. The honor comes after the pair went 4-0 in Laguna Beach, winning all matches in straight sets.Â
Gementera and Hagenah took care of business as the duo did not drop a set through four games. They defeated two top-ranked pairs from No. 4 Stanford and No. 6 Cal Poly. They also took down the first flight pairs from No. 14 Stetson and No. 16 North Florida, maintaining total control of their matches.Â
They currently sit at 87 wins, as they solidify their legacy with the most pairs wins in program history. The duo also holds the record for most pairs wins in a single season with 34 wins during the 2023 campaign. Â
Gementera and Hagenah have been the first flight pair for the Beach since their freshman season, where they led Long Beach State to their first Big West title in program history. Together, they have taken down over 25 ranked opponents and were both named First Team All-Americans last season.Â
