  0 Wendy Mayer | April 28th, 2018 | Big West, College - Beach, News

No. 6 seed Cal State Bakersfield is still in the running for the Big West Beach Championship after knocking off No. 4 seed Cal State Northridge for the first time this season in five tries. The Roadrunners hit a buzzsaw in top seeded Hawaii, but rebounded by downing Sacramento State, despite trailing 1-0 in four of the five matches, to move on.

Also advancing through Day 1 were the top three seeds: Hawaii, Cal Poly and Long Beach State.

The two-time defending champion Rainbow Wahine had to play just one match, besting Bakersfield 5-0. Cal Poly stumbled 3-2 in its first effort of the tournament, falling 3-2 at the hands of Long Beach State, before rebounding to defeat Northridge in an elimination match.

For its part, Long Beach State (25-6) blanked Sacramento State and edged Cal Poly 3-2 to move on in the winners bracket. The difference in the match came in the resilient Court 1 pair of Nele Barber and Sasha Karelov, which rebounded from a 21-18 Set 1 loss to clinch the match 21-15, 15-13 and the 3-2 win for the 49ers.

The double-elimination tournament continues Saturday. Long Beach State will face Hawai’i at 4 p.m. ET, with the winner moving into the championship match. Cal Poly and Bakersfield face off at 5 p.m. ET with the loser going home. The winner will take on the loser of the LBSU/Hawaii match. The championship match is slated for 7 p.m. ET with an if necessary rematch to follow.
