moments during his time at LBSU, especially his freshman year when LBSU men’s volleyball faced Hawaii in the NCAA championship match at The Walter Pyramid, surrounded by other student-athletes celebrating the victory. Another event was the first tournament of his senior season winning The Nick Watney Invitational at Fresno.

“[Accomplishing] something so incredible and being able to share that with other students and some other student-athletes that we were all kind of in there together is something I’ll never forget,” Kvick said.

When it came to practice or playing a tournament, Kvick would concentrate on the game itself. When it came time for his education, that would become his main focal point.

“Being able to be very present and focus on what’s in front of me was the biggest factor in being able to handle things well in the classroom and on the golf course,” Kvick said.

Kvick will be leaving Long Beach with a few degrees that he earned due to his redshirt year in business management, supply chain management and business finance.

“I’ve been thinking about it honestly for the last month or so. I just have to focus on getting healthy first and finishing school before worrying about anything else,” Berry said. “I love basketball. I love the game. I don’t mind being across the world if I’m doing something that I love.”

Before departing from the team, Berry and the other seniors invested a lot of time into next season’s team and were a big part of the recruiting process for players coming in and made sure that any new faces coming in felt welcome.

“I think we invested a lot as far as visits and making sure that they feel like they’re a part of our family here,” Berry said.

Throughout Berry’s career at The Beach, she was able to rack up accolades and awards for her efforts on both sides of the ball. This past season she reached the 1,000-point milestone and was named to the 2022-2023 Big West All-Defensive Team and 2022-2023 Second Team All Big-West via Sports Reference.

“To put my name in the history books at Long Beach State, that was big to me,” Berry said. “I was so blessed and so lucky to find my fit here.”

“I’m leaning towards [supply chain] and so trying to find a place where I can still go and compete to be my best,” Kvick said. “I’m doing whatever I can to be on the professional side.”

While staying in California is Kvick’s plan, he is looking to explore all his opportunities in finding a job within his degree.

“I had so many wonderful classmates and I had so many wonderful peers in terms of student-athletes that I’m so grateful for my time,“ Kvick said. “I would choose this place 100 times out of 100 times if I can do it again.”
