Six 49ers earned All-Big West honors and three went on to garner NSCAA All-West Region accolades. In 2014, LBSU went 8-7-6 overall and 4-2-2 in Big West play to finish third in the regular-season standings. The Beach then upset second-seeded Cal Poly on their home field in the Big West Tournament semifinals by playing to a 0-0 draw before advancing to the championship match on penalty kicks. It was Long Beach State's fourth appearance in the conference finals since 2008. Ingrassia saw his athletes earn multiple postseason awards as the 49ers claimed four of the major Big West honors with Taylor Nelson being tabbed the league's defensive player of the year, Mimi Rangel the midfielder of the year, Ashton McKeown the goalkeeper of the year and Ashley Gonzales the freshman of the year.
