Club hockey faces familiar opponents

The Long Beach State club hockey team split a pair of games last weekend, moving its record to 4-3. 

On Friday night, the 49ers had their second meeting of the season against Cal State Northridge.

LBSU won the first meeting on Oct. 23 by a score of 6-4.

Northridge  set the tone early, scoring the first two goals. 

"It was a really slow game, very chippy and physical," 49er goalie Donavon Trumble said. 

The 49ers scored four unanswered goals to take a 4-2 lead and won the game 4-3. 

The 49ers hosted San Diego State Saturday night at the Westminster Ice Palace.

The game was also the second meeting for the teams.

The 49ers won the first game on Oct. 30 by a score of 8-4.

The Aztecs wasted no time, building a 3-0 lead before the 49ers managed to score in the second period.

Tony Mutalipassi scored the only goal of the game for the 49ers. 

"The puck wasn't bouncing our way," Trumble said.

The 49ers had some legitimate scoring opportunities, posting 28 shots on goal.

However, the Aztecs effectively shut down the 49er offense for the rest of the game and won easily, 6-1. 

The 49ers' next game is against USC on Dec. 4 at the Westminster Ice Palace.
