Report by LBSU<\/span><\/p>\n

The 49er men’s water polo team hosted their annual alumni game and picnic Sunday at the Long Beach State Campus Pool. The annual event showcases members of the current 49er squad against LBSU water polo alumni of the past. The alumni team was made up of former players with graduation dates ranging from 1972 to 2009.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

After a tough match against the top-ranked USC on Saturday the 49ers were able to let loose and compete against some familiar faces. The alumni took a 3-1 lead in the first period after 2008 All-MPSF performer Ash Blythen scored consecutive goals.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Sophomore Taylor Clute scored the goal of the game for the 2009 squad when Senior Jeff Greenwood vaulted Clute four feet above the water and Clute rifled a shot past the Alumni goalie. The Alumni eventually won the match 12-11.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

UP NEXT:<\/strong> Long Beach State gets back to business this weekend, when they travel to Stanford, Calif. to participate in the Northern California Tournament. The tournament, hosted this year by the Stanford Cardinal, lasts all day Saturday, September 19 with the 49ers opening match starting at 9:50 am against UC Irvine. The tournament concludes on Sunday, September 21.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
