LOS ANGELES, Calif. \u2013 Already leading Long Beach State in career wins, Malia Gementera<\/a> and Taylor Hagenah<\/a> continue to set the standard for Beach Volleyball, recording their 100th win as the Beach defeated Pepperdine to close the Battle For LA after a loss to No. 2 UCLA.
\n\u00a0
\nNo. 2 UCLA (6-2) hosted the two matches for Long Beach State (4-2), and the Beach pushed the Bruins in the early wave. Despite being a straight set win for UCLA, Tineke Hinton<\/a> and Demi Wagdy<\/a> sent both sets with Alex Fernandez and Cassie Dodd past 21 in a 26-24, 24-22 loss in the second flight, and Kiara Edwards<\/a> and Savannah Standage<\/a> pushed Ava Williamson and Jesse Dueck into three, falling 21-13, 19-21, 15-13.
\n\u00a0
\nUCLA picked up wins in all three matches of the second wave to hold off the Beach at home, however, ultimately winning 5-0.
\n\u00a0
\nLong Beach State quickly bounced back against Pepperdine (2-5) in the second meeting this season between the Beach and the Waves. Hinton and Wagdy cruised to a 21-18, 21-13 win over Maddy Snow and Gabriella Perez, and Edwards\/Standage also won in straight sets 21-15, 21-16 to give the Beach a quick 2-0 lead after the first wave of matches.
\n\u00a0
\nSitting at 99 wins, Gementera and Hagenah closed out the win with their victory in the first flight, winning 21-15, 21-18 over Emma Eden and Michaela Cyrani for their 100th career victory, having played together throughout their time at LBSU.
\n\u00a0
\nBrooke Wolley joined Mahala Esser<\/a> in the fifth flight in a 21-16, 21-10 win, though the Waves rallied to steal a point at the threes as Alie Jagielska and Sonia Mancuso won in three sets 15-21, 21-18, 15-11.
\n\u00a0
\nLong Beach State will play in Long Beach next weekend, hosting their home tournament at LBCC over March 6 and 7.
