His best performance came in the opener against Loyola-Chicago where he totaled 1 kills, while hitting at a.3 clip. Ammerman fi nished the tournament averaging 2.27 kills per set and fi nished second on the team with 7 attempts. FOR OPENERS Long Beach State picked up its sixth-straight seasonopening victory when it defeated Loyola-Chicago, 3-, on Friday, Jan. 4. Since the rally scoring era began in 21, the 49ers are 12-1 in season openers with their only loss coming against Cal State Northridge at UCSB s annual tournament in 27. BROTHERLY LOVE This will mark the fi nal season that brothers, Trevor and Taylor Crabb, will play together at Long Beach State. Last year, the duo combined to lead the 49ers to a 3-1 victory at Pacifi c as they each fi nished with a match-high 16 kills. It was a career best for Trevor, who is now in his senior campaign. CRABB EARNS PRESEASON HONORS Taylor Crabb was named a preseason All-American by Off the Block, a website focused solely on collegiate men s volleyball. The 6- outside hitter is coming off a 212 campaign in which he earned second-team All-MPSF and third-team Volleyball Magazine All- America honors after fi nishing with a team-best 33 kills (2.75/set) and 21 digs (1.91). 49ERS PICKED TO FINISH SIXTH Long Beach State was picked to fi nish sixth in the MPSF Men s Volleyball Preseason Coaches Poll. The 49ers received 85 points to come in just ahead of reigning MPSF regular season champion and NCAA fi nalist USC (83 points). Defending national champion UC Irvine was tabbed as this year s favorite with 11 fi rst-place votes and 143 total points. BYU claimed the remaining two fi rst-place nods to fi nish second with 134 points. Pepperdine (113 points), Stanford (11) and UCLA (94) were also predicted to place ahead of LBSU. A LOOK BACK Long Beach State fi nished the 212 campaign with a 15-15 overall record. The 49ers came in sixth place in the MPSF with a 1-12 mark in conference action. LBSU qualifi ed for the MPSF Tournament for the fourth time in fi ve years. UP NEXT Long Beach State continues MPSF play on the road next week when it heads to No. 5 UCLA for a 7 p.m. match on Tuesday, Jan. 15.
