Beach weekend
Staff reports
Here's the lowdown
of Long Beach State athletics this weekend:
Cross-country: The 49er men's and women's teams travel to
San Luis Obispo to take part in the Cal Poly Invitational
Saturday. The men's team is in good shape, as five runners
set personal-best times last Saturday at the Long Beach Invitational.
On the women's side, sophomore Drea Palacio continues her
strong season for LBSU after finishing sixth overall at the
Long Beach Invite with a time of 18:41.8, 30 seconds better
then her previous-best time.
Women's volleyball: The nation's top-ranked team rolled to
another Big West Conference home victory Tuesday against Cal
State Fullerton and match up against conference foe UC Irvine
Saturday at The Pyramid. Brittany Hochevar recorded eight
aces in the Cal State Fullerton match, the second most ever
by a LBSU player.
Men's water polo: The 49ers, which evened their record at
2-2 with a 13-6 nonconference victory over Cal Baptist last
Saturday, head to Stanford to play in the NorCal Tournament
Saturday and Sunday.
Fifteen teams will compete in the tournament, including all
nine Mountain Pacific Sports Federation teams. LBSU will tangle
with MPSF-rival Pacific, which the 49ers defeated, 13-6, earlier
this season, in the first round and take on either UCLA or
Air Force in the second round.
Scott Miller scored a career-high three goals against Cal
Baptist and now shares the team lead in goals with Nathan
Allard at six.
Women's soccer: LBSU will return to Big West Conference play
Sunday against host UC Irvine at 1 p.m. The 49ers (3-6-1,
2-0 in the Big West) fell to University of San Diego, 2-1,
in overtime Wednesday.
Freshman Kristin Travis leads the Beach with four goals on
the season, while fellow freshman Allison Wiegand has three.
Women's tennis: LBSU's players will participate in the Cal
State Fullerton Fall Intercollegiates beginning Friday and
continuing through Sunday.
The 49ers are led by sophomore Anastasia Dvornikova, who reached
the semifinals of the Wathen-Hancock Bulldog Classic Sept.
30 and competed Tuesday in the Riviera Women's All-American
Tournament at UCLA, losing in the second round.
