Looking at a stacked, balanced incoming class, it’s obvious the women’s basketball team at Long Beach State is a team on the rise.

The end is nigh for the 49ers, with two more matches before the team plays host to the Big West Championships next week.

The 49ers’ top thrower, Rajan Bains was named Big West’s Field Athlete of the Week thanks to a stellar performance at the Big West Challenge Cup.

Ricardo Chavez was the best finisher in school history at the Knabe Cup at Lakewood Country Club.

Heather Moody, Long Beach State’s lead assistant coach for both men’s and women’s water polo, has accepted a coaching position with USA Water Polo.

Check out our video highlight of the first match this season between Wilson and Poly.

For the first time in—well, nobody was quite sure how long, but a long time—Poly defeated Wilson on the hardwood to take sole possession of first place in the Moore League.

The headline says it all. In preparation (and B-roll) for the ESPN Homecoming episode featuring Billie Jean King hosted by Rick Reilly, the two faced off in a Wii Tennis match.

First-place Lakewood had the day off while Wilson, Millikan and Jordan moved up in the standings.
