The Long Beach State women’s volleyball team wrapped up regular season play with a pair of sweeps in the 2002 Baden Thanksgiving Classic at The Pyramid this past weekend. The 49ers beat both the Texas-Pan American Lady Broncos and San Jose State Spartans to end the season at 28-3.
 
Brittany Hochevar recorded two aces on Saturday against San Jose to reach 209 total, surpassing former 49er Antoinette White’s 208 mark from 1989-91 to become the school’s all-time leader in service aces.
 
Hochevar also recorded a double-double (10 kills and 37 assists), while Elisha Thomas and Lindsay Phillips posted 12 kills each. Thomas also passed another former player by breaking Cheryl Weaver’s record with 145 block assists in a single season to become the No.2 all-time.
 
Defensively, The Beach registered 13 team blocks, while the Spartans only had five.
 
Friday, Phillips led LBSU against the UTPA with 14 kills while Thomas added 10 kills and three block assists. Hochevar recorded another double-double (38 assist and 15 digs).
 
LBSU will face UCLA on Thursday at Pepperdine at 5 p.m. in the first round of the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament.
