The Big West Conference named former Campolindo High and Lamorinda Soccer Club player Val Margerum to the All-Big West first team. The center defender guided Long Beach State to a league-leading 11 shutouts and 0.65 goals against average and first-place tie for the conference title. As co-captain, she helped her team reach the Big West tournament title game two years in a row and the NCAA playoffs this fall - they lost to Santa Clara 1-0 in the first round. In her two-year career at LBSU, she ranked second on the team in minutes played. The College Sports Information Directors of America also voted Margerum, a Design major, to the CoSIDA Academic West District second team.
