Non-Conference Recap
· We've seen sterling individual efforts led by Alyssa Moore with two goals at Oregon State and team highs of four goals and 10 points. Laila El Behery scored in consecutive matches to earn Big West Offensive Player of the Week. First career goal and point for Mirayah Villalpando in her third match, and Glo Hinojosa matched her career high with eight saves vs. UCLA
· The 'Eaters enter Big West play at 3-4-1 with recent years UCI sitting at 5-3 and 4-3-1. UCI was missing that signature result dropping three matches to Pac-12 schools, but two by a goal and leading early and nearly earning a result against the nation's current No. 1, Stanford. Overall, UCI's non-conference opponents have a combined record of 32-15-9

Thursday at Long Beach State
· It's rivalry week with UCI heading to Long Beach State. The 32nd meeting between the programs with UCI ahead, 15-9-7. The squads are an even 5-5-5 at George Allen Field with the last meeting memorable winning 1-0 in overtime off the foot of Kiera Smeenge. LBSU is tested this year beating No. 22 Harvard and SDSU, sticking with No. 11 BYU and No. 15 Texas in losses, and posting a similar 0-4 scoreline in a loss at No. 4 UCLA as LBSU is receiving poll votes.
· LBSU averages just under two goals a match with big contributors Elysia Laramie (6 G, 4 A) thanks to a four-goal game and Cherrie Cox (3 G, 3 A). The defense is stout led by a pair of freshmen in Brooklyn Antonucci and Kana Uchida with junior Maddy Perez playing nearly every minute. Goalkeeping has mainly been Zora Standifer with 30 saves in seven matches.
