LONG BEACH STATE (2-1); BOISE STATE (2-0); NOTRE DAME (1-2)
The Series: The Beach vs. The Broncos
Long Beach State and Boise State will face off for the 10th time in program history. In a series dating back to 1984, the Beach leads the all-time series 7-2. LBSU won the first seven-straight meetings, but Boise State has won the last two. Last season, the Broncos defeated the Beach, 3-2, in a gritty five-setter at Bronco Gym in Boise, Idaho. This season, the Beach looks to bounce back and keep their record against Boise State undefeated at home.
Scouting Boise State
• Boise State comes into the Walter Pyramid with a 2-0 record after having started the season with a pair of wins over Saint Mary's last weekend. • The Broncos swept Saint Mary's in the season opener on Friday, August 26, then defeated the Gaels in four sets on Saturday, August 27. • Jordan Miller and Lauren Ohlinger led the Broncos in the opening weekend with 3.43 and 3.00 kills per set, respectively. • Setter Ashley Hayden paced the Boise State offense with 10.14 assists per set as she led the squad to a .260 attack percentage. • Defensively, Allison Casillas logged 4.14 digs per set in the back row, while Chey Day posted 2.00 blocks per set at the net. • As a team, the Broncos are averaging 13.0 kills per set, 16.0 digs per set, and 3.8 blocks per set.

When playing each other in Long Beach, Calif., the Beach leads 4-1. LBSU has also won the last two meetings with the Irish as Notre Dame is looking for their first win over the Beach since 2004.

• The Beach earned a pair of wins on the first day of the tournament, then took No. 19 Oregon to five sets in a thrilling contest that saw the Beach come up just short of upsetting the Nationally Ranked Ducks.

Tonight's match should be super competitive because Boise State returns a strong team and LBSU is playing pretty good this early in the season. I will pick LBSU as the winner because I am a homer but I would not be surprised if Boise State pulls off a victory.

I will pick LBSU as the winner because I am a homer but I would not be surprised if Boise State pulls off a victory. LBSU is very good defensively. Boise state will have to expect the ball to come back a lot. M Chacon would appreciate some help from the OH2 spot, but she alone can be very effective. I give the edge to LB. We will see. |
