Long Beach State Athletics!: Re: Beach picks up exciting gritty 3-2 win @ Wyoming

this team more than anything is prone to really aggravating runs by the opponent - they don't seem though to mentally break down like I thought Tyler's team did in critical times

I guess all teams have that to some degree, just seems this team is really good at letting opponents rip off 5+ points in a row, like every set

will see if they have the consistency now to back it up vs. Portland, even though Portland would be pretty much a middle pack Big West type of team.

on the plus was worst fears was Mad Max was not going to be a solid setter, and she's proving to be solid or more.

Splitting the libero duties seemed to pay off as Mahaffey appears better in transition.

During the Oregon State match the team looked really good and I thought the team could build from there; however, the ladies have struggled more often than not since then. Need to win the next two matches to be on a streak going into conference.

1st home game for Wyoming, on a new Teraflex floor

Beach was horrific 1st set

Wyoming's lefty setter gave Beach fits all night long on her serve, especially a run Beach up 13-8 and tied it, a good pass and kill finally stopped it, and then a scramble point to win 15-13.

Sheffie had a golden play at 13-8 but called for a lift.

seemed almost too exciting had commanding leads sets 2,3,4,5 and let each get close with Wyooming runs

still won pressure points, good win on the road. see if they can now sweep a weekend.

Middles had maybe their best night attacking as Wyoming stacked against King
