“We talked a lot about how in those losses, a lot of it was our miscommunication and system breakdowns, and so being able to correct that and not feel like we had to change massively who we are was really important to prove,” Reagan said.

Friday’s contest featured a clash between two of the best hitters in the Big West, with UC Davis senior outside hitter Jade Light leading the conference in kills per set at 4.02, and LBSU redshirt freshman opposite Logan King trailing just behind at third with 3.58 kills per set. 

However, on senior night in the last regular-season home game of her career, senior outside hitter Elise Agi was the one to steal the show in the first set.

Sheffie had four straight kills to put LBSU (18-8) up 22-13 before her eighth kill of the set sent the Highlanders to the bench as The Beach took set one, 25-14. 

LBSU, which ranks second in the Big West in kills per set with 13.59, had 17 first-set kills, with Sheffie and redshirt freshman opposite Logan King combining for 13. 

“At first I wasn’t really aware of how many kills I was getting,” Sheffie said. “I think I was just out there and I was just having fun and I think that the support of my teammates really helps me to feel freed up and have that fun.”

One student veteran who attended the event was Sixto Roman Delgado, a fifth-year biology major and former Marine who worked as a 0331 machine gunner for four years. Delgado said he uses Veterans Services every day, often spending time in the lounge and taking breaks between classes. 

“It’s cool seeing some new veterans that I haven’t seen on campus before…seeing what they’re up to and talking about their experiences and everything,” Delgado said. 

Delgado has been waiting for an appointment to ensure his new authorization codes, which are needed for Veteran Affairs to cover his tuition and fees. The shutdown, however, has delayed his appointment.

“We didn’t do a great job protecting the ball,” Arroyo said. “This was a great experience for us tonight, this situation can very well be next weekend.”

Sophomore goalie and Big West Player of the Week Joe Jenness recorded 10 saves on a .400 save percentage in the victory.

It was an all hands on deck effort for The Beach on Thursday night, as eight different players found the back of the net against the Lions.

As chilly weather cools the air, students adapt by dressing for the autumn season.

Jackets, boots and dark colors make up the mood across campus. While Southern California at most brings rain during fall, students enjoy layering and experimenting with their style.

The Liwiruns first found success serving students at UCLA before driving and parking closer to the shore. What started as one truck has grown into three separate trucks, each serving college campuses and events throughout Southern California.

After seeing how well Thai food resonated with college crowds, the family decided to branch out to CSULB.

“We tried coming to different campuses to see what worked,” Nachanon Liwirun said. “When we came to Long Beach, it was a great fit; we’ve kept coming back ever since.”
