Up by a narrow margin of 40-37 with 1:28 left in the game, Long Beach got back-to-back jumpers from freshmen Tamica Cheatham and Symphony Logan to go up 44-37. LBCC made its final three field goals and converted on three of four free throws down the stretch to ice the win.<\/p>\n<p>LBCC made just 18 of 65 shots (28 percent) from the field. Long Beach was 0 for 11 from three-point range but made 13 of 19 free throws. The Viking defense more than made up for the poor shooting, forcing 40 Cypress turnovers.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1988, no LBCC team has started the season 5-0.
