The match featured some huge momentum changes, especially in the final two sets.

Cal State L.A. took a tight first set even though Cal State Stanislaus held a set point at 24-23, but a kill by Bero tied it up. A kill by Molnar made it 25-24, but a kill by Skadeland tied it at 25-25. A kill by Kymberly Silveyra gave the Golden Eagles a 26-25 lead and an attack error gave them the set.

The Warriors evened the match by taking the second set, but the Golden Eagles regrouped and took the third. The set was tied at 18-18 before a kill by Carter and an ace by Lauren Gomez gave the Golden Eagles the lead for good. A kill by Carter, an attack error, a block by Bero and Carter and a kill by Lofrano got the Golden Eagles to set point at 24-19 and a kill by Lofrano ended the set at 25-20.

Cal State L.A. then looked to have the fourth set firmly in command until the Warriors staged a big rally to force a fifth set. A kill by Carter gave the Golden Eagles an 18-10 lead and a kill by Gomez kept the lead at 21-15 and a kill by Carter made it 22-17. The Warriors, though, turned things around with seven consecutive points and eventually wrapped up the set on a kill by Ehrlich.

The fifth set was a real struggle. Cal State L.A. took a quick 6-1 lead and still had a 7-2 edge after a kill by Lofrano. The Golden Eagles still had an 8-4 edge before the Warriors scored the next seven points to take an 11-8 lead. The Golden Eagles then scored five straight points to regain the lead. An ace by Molnar tied it at 11-11 and two straight kills by Carter gave the Golden Eagles a 13-11 edge. A Lofrano kill got the Golden Eagles to match point at 14-12 and the match ultimately ended on a service error.

Prior to the match, the Golden Eagles honored their six seniors -- Loreal Carter, April Reyes, Molly Lyons, Colby Joseph, Yesenia Ibrahim and Kymberly Silveyra -- in pregame ceremonies.

Cal State L.A. will return to action on Thursday with a road match at Cal State San Bernardino.
