Marlie Monserez and Jessie Smith finished it 21-11, 21-11 for UCLA’s program-record 24th sweep this season. After a nearly two-hour rain delay, the Golden Bears dispatched ninth-seeded Long Beach State, 3-2, for their first NCAA tournament victory. LBSU’s Maggie Walters and Christine Deroos pushed the decisive match to three sets before Cal’s Lexi McKeown and Ella Dreibholz came away with a 21-14, 19-21, 15-8 win. Long Beach finished the season 24-15 after winning its first Big West championship.
Next up for the Trojans is the winner of the match between sixth-seeded Loyola Marymount and 11th-seeded Hawaii . Their match, the last of the day scheduled for 2 p.m. PT, was postponed after several weather delays. The Lions and the Rainbow Wahine will play Saturday at 6 a.m. PT, with the Trojans awaiting the winner at 10 a.m.
