LONG BEACH, CA--- The California Baptist University women's volleyball team split the weekend as they fell in straight sets to the Long Beach State Beach at the Pyramid on Saturday night in Long Beach.
CBU had the early advantage in the first set as they scored the opening four points of the match, including a pair of back-to-back aces from Avery Barber. Long Beach came back with a 4-0 run of their own before CBU countered with a 3-0 run to take a 7-4 lead early. The Beach went on an 11-3 run heading into the media timeout, leading 15-10. CBU would keep it close for a little while, but the Beach would turn it on and finish off the Lancers 25-19 for the 1-0 lead.
CBU once again came out strong in the second set, leading early at 9-7 off a Nalanie Neal service ace. The Beach would dominate the majority of the rest of the set, going on a 10-1 run to take full control of the frame. CBU crept back in, but they would not get close enough, falling 25-17 as LBSU secured a 2-0 start. The third set would be the most lopsided of the match as the Beach would dart out to an early 15-8 lead and would not look back, winning the set 25-15 and the match in three.
Anaiya Campbell led the offensive effort off the pine with nine kills on a .300 hitting percentage, while Nalanie Neal had seven kills and eight digs. Avery Barber added 22 more assists to her season total while Filippa Botcher paced the defense with 2.5 blocks.
NEXT: The Lancers will be back in action next weekend at home as they take on UCSB Gauchos on Friday, November 21, for Senior Night in Riverside.
