Long Beach State Set to Face Michigan State
The Long Beach State women’s volleyball team plays Michigan State today at the University of Florida in an NCAA Central Regional semifinal.
The 49ers (33-2) had a first-round bye, then defeated Minnesota, 15-10, 15-13, 15-6, in the second round Dec. 7. Michigan State (25-6) defeated Texas A&M;, 19-17, 15-13, 15-12.
