Pacific’s slowly getting back into the game. Two free throws from Casey Neimeyer have cut the CSUN lead to 19-17. They now have a chance to tie or go ahead in the score. And these Spanos Center speakers are deafening. Therin Taylor just made an incredible layup. He was fouled, but couldn’t make the free throw. CSUN up 21-17 with five minutes to play in the half.
There was a time when a Mark Hill 3-pointer was a synonym of miss. Those times are gone. Not to say the point guard has turned into Steve Nash but he’s hitting the long shot more consistently. Tonight he’s 2-of-2. CSUN leads 14-7 with 10 minutes to go in the first half.

The Matadors have clinched at least a share of the Big West championship and can assure the outright title by beating the Tigers tonight. Either that or having Long Beach State lose at UC Santa Barbara tonight. If CSUN loses and the 49ers win, both teams will end up with the same conference record (11-5) and they’ll share… Read more

The No. 1 Matadors continued their home dominance this season with back-to-back 3-0 sweeps of No. 8 BYU on Thursday and Friday at the Matadome.
When she began teaching in the College of Engineering and Computer science at CSUN some 33 years ago, Dr. Bonita J. Campbell was the only female faculty member.
In a couple months many CSUN graduates will be struggling to survive because of the current state of our economy.’ All across the country people are cutting back on their expenses and spending less on luxury items and leisure activities. Companies are downsizing their work force and individuals who once had stable jobs often find themselves being laid off from careers they had invested their lives in.
