  • Opening the weekend, Briggs and the Beach forced LIU into a negative attack percentage (-.046) in a three-setter as the junior recorded his 500th career dig, compiling 12 in total against the Sharks.   

  • The following night, Briggs picked up 13 digs as George Mason was held to a .114 clip in another sweep. On the weekend, the Beach defense anchored by Briggs held their opponents to a .046 attack percentage while the product of Valencia, Calif., scooped up 4.17 digs per set. 

  • Briggs currently leads The Big West and NCAA Division I with a 3.67 digs per set average, helping No. 3 Long Beach State to a 4-0 record in the young season, all in sweeping fashion.
