Long Beach State ends Torero win streak at three

Long Beach, Calif. - The Torero volleyball team fell Saturday afternoon against Long Beach State in four sets in Long Beach, Calif. 

The Beach (6-5) controlled the first two sets 25-20 and 25-19, before the Toreros (6-3) took the third 25-19. Long Beach then came from behind to defeat the Toreros 25-23 in the final set. 

San Diego struggled to find their offensive rhythm in the first two sets and ended the match hitting .186. Kylie Pries led the way for the Toreros, hitting .286 with 11 kills. Annie Benbow and Alex Hoglund added two aces apiece. 

Defensively, the Toreros continued to have success on the block. Coming into the match fourth in the nation in blocks per set, the Toreros added 11 more to their total and Leyla Blackwell led the way with seven. 

The Beach hit .286 as a team in the victory.

The Toreros controlled every aspect of the third set to get back in it. They hit .346 and recorded five blocks. 

It looked as if the match would head to a decisive fifth set as the Toreros were up 22-19, but the Beach won six of the final seven points to close the match.
