Everyone had the Wilson at Millikan Moore League clash this week circled on the calendar before the season started. The two teams battled for second place last year, and that’s the case again this week as they come in with identical 5-3, 2-1 records. Last year, Millikan rolled to a 46-20 win on Saturday morning at Veterans Memorial Stadium because of the field turf construction at Wilson. These teams have split their last six meetings.

This is the last regular season meet before the Big West Championships return to this same course in Fullerton on Oct. 27.
SATURDAY

The 49ers have another tough test at home against No. 3 USC today before hosting their annual Alumni Game at 3:30 p.m. this afternoon. LBSU hosted No. 2 UCLA last month in front of a capacity crowd at Ken Lindgren Aquatics Center, and only lost 9-7.
Long Beach State Women’s Volleyball vs. Cal Poly, 7 p.m.
This is the last match of the week for LBSU, and it will be their toughest home test in conference play. Cal Poly (17-1, 7-0) swept the 49ers last month 25-18, 25-16, 25-18 and limited the Beach to .177 hitting as a team.
Long Beach City College Football vs. Bakersfield, 5 p.m.

This is the biggest match at George Allen Field so far this season as the first-place Anteaters visit the second-place 49ers. LBSU hasn’t lost to UCI since 2015, and that includes the 3-0 Big West Conference Tournament championship win in 2016. UCI beat the Beach in a scrimmage 1-0 before this season, and leads the all-time record 9-12-6.
