UCLA added two more goals in the second period before the 49ers answered with a Kalina Houck goal with 1:38 remaining in the half.

UCLA scored four more goals in the third quarter to take a 10-1 lead. The 49ers responded by scoring three of the next four goals, capped by a Lauren Sieprath goal with 4:06 remaining. UCLA added two more late goals to finish the 13-4 tally.

Long Beach State continues the regular season this weekend, traveling to a tournament hosted by UC San Diego this weekend, where they will play matches on Friday and Saturday.  Their next home match isn’t until March 18^th, when they host Princeton.
