STOCKTON, Calif. -- Lafayette Dorsey scored a career-high 31 points, Roberto Gallinat added 16 points and Pacific rallied to beat former conference foe Long Beach State 74-68 on Monday night.
It was the first contest in the 95-game series since the 2012-13 season, when Pacific was a Big West member.
Edon Maxhuni's 3-pointer gave LBSU a 15-point lead early in the second half, but the 49ers didn't hit their next field goal until four-plus minutes later as Pacific went on a 13-0 run to cut it to 49-47. The Tigers took their first lead of the second half on Dorsey's 3-point play with 8:54 remaining.
