LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Missouri State's beach volleyball team picked up the first win in program history Monday afternoon, topping Colorado Mesa by a 4-1 final at the LBSU Sand Courts. The Bears bounced back to top the Mavericks after dropping a 5-0 decision to eighth-ranked and host Long Beach State earlier in the day.

Missouri State (1-2) got straight-set victories from four pairs against Colorado Mesa (0-1), with Aubrey Cheffey and Julia Hanson, Mikaela Mosquera and Sam Brinkmann, Sarah Demmer and Caroline Finnell, and Lynsey Wright and Ivy Reynolds all notching wins.

In the morning match, Brinkmann and Mosquera continued their strong early-season showing with a three-set loss in the No. 3 match, while No. 8 Long Beach State (4-1) won 2-0 at the other four spots. LBSU's only loss on the year was a 3-2 defeat to top-ranked Pepperdine.

MSU plays two more matches Tuesday in Huntington Beach, taking on Cal State Los Angeles at noon and Vanguard at 4 p.m.
