LOS ANGELES, Calif. - CSUN Beach Volleyball (17-14) matched the program record with its 17th win after splitting its final regular season tri-dual on Saturday at the LMU Beach Courts. The Matadors fell to the No. 4 Lions to open the day before sweeping all five pairs from Cal State Bakersfield in the final dual.Â
LMU 5, CSUN 0
The Matadors opened the day against fourth-ranked LMU and dropped all five pairs. The Lions picked up the first two points with wins on the No. 4 and No. 2 courts. Isabelle Reffel and Magdalena Rabitsch swept Maleya Miles and Layla Cederlind, 21-11, 21-9 at No. 4, before Chloe Hooker and Vilhelmiina Prithi defeated Tia Mendiola and Julia Bazylevych, 21-12, 21-7 at No. 2. Ellie Davis and Brooke Bowers earned a 21-16, 21-11 win over Elena Gonzalez-Hughes and Ainsley Patrick in the No. 6 exhibition pair to close out the first flight.
LMU would close the dual with wins at No. 1, No. 5, and No. 3. Needing just one win in the second flight, LMU clinched the dual when Michelle Shaffer and Anna Pelloia defeated Tasha Mae and Kinley Lindhardt in the No. 1 pair, 21-15, 21-13. Tanan Rosenthal and Gi Poletti Corrales then topped Haley Coggins and Sophia Jarosz in straight sets (21-17, 21-12) before Dylan Hall and Hannah Heflin battled in a three-set loss to Liv Johnson and Lisa Luini at No. 3, falling 21-19, 18-21, 17-15.

Playing for the fifth time this season, the Matadors took all five scoring pairs to remain unbeaten against the Roadrunners this season. After Bakersfield's Bailey Combs and Aensley Matautia defeated Jadin Williams and Morgan Gillinger (21-17, 23-21) in the No. 6 pair to open the match, CSUN won five straight to match the program record with its 17th win of the season.
Mendiola and Bazylevych earned the first CSUN point, topping Paola Caten and Sarach Martin in the No. 2 pair, 21-19, 21-19. Miles and Cederlind made it 2-0 Matadors with a three-set (17-21, 21-18, 15-9) victory over Olivia Ostler and Vianna Garcia at No. 4. Heflin and Hall earned their 18th win of the season, taking the No. 3 pair over Ella Ensign and Katey Milne, 21-17, 21-15 to clinch the dual win.
The final two pairs also went to the Matadors as Coggins and Jarosz held on for a three-set win over Brooklyn Thomas and Olivia Silacci-Jensen (21-15, 15-21, 15-7) at No. 5, before Mae and Lindhardt also won in three over Ella Erteltova and Vivi Kaelin in the No. 1 pair (16-21, 21-19, 15-13) to clinch the 5-0 win.
COACH ARI HOMAYUNÂ SAID
"A nice way to end the regular season. I'm glad we got to see a team like LMU before going into the Big West tournament. It's just a reminder of what the top of our conference is going to look like and the level of play we need to achieve in order to compete. Stoked the girls were able to get the 5-0 against CSUB. Playing a good team over and over only gets harder and harder, and our girls were incredibly motivated. Looking forward to next week!"

The Matadors will open the 2025 Big West Beach Volleyball Championship next week at Ocean Park Courts in Santa Monica.
