By Elyse Medlin

After being defeated at Hawaii and Pacific, Long Beach State ( 8-2 overall and 1-1 conference play) has only one streak remaining: 50 consecutive won matches at The Pyramid.

WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
LBSU Head Coach Brian Gimmillaro said he believes the competition against No.9 Santa Barbara and Cal Poly this weekend will be difficult. 

"These are going to be two good games," he said. "They (Santa Barbara) killed Florida."

Setter Keri Nishimoto re-sprained her ankle during Tuesdayís practice and Gimmillaro said itís doubtful that she will start tonight.

"We can run a better offense when Keri's in," Gimmillaro said. ìIt's debilitating, she's been playing on a swollen ankle for three matches."

The injury means freshman Brittany Hochevar will have to carry the load.

"We have two losses too many," Hochevar said.

LBSU faces UCSB tonight at The Pyramid, 7:30 p.m. The 49ers host Cal Poly this Saturday night at 7:30.
