The Cal State Northridge Matadors had a one-point lead with 0.4 seconds left in regulation and seemed to be headed to their second consecutive victory at the Matadome on Tuesday night against the University of South Dakota. Coyote forward Amber Hegge had other plans in mind, as she banked in a layup to win the game in dramatic fashion, 47-46.

It has not been a successful year on the court for the Cal State Northridge women’s basketball team, but they have a chance to close out 2009 with a two-game winning streak at the Matadome.

The 34-point rout matches head coach Bobby Braswell’s worst loss in his 14 years at CSUN (4-7). “We just were not very competitive tonight, and it’s very rare that I say that about a Northridge basketball team,” said Braswell, whose team has lost four straight games. “We… Read more

The Matadors (2-6) had five players in double-figures. Center Jasmine Erving, with her 13 points, and forward… Read more

The Cal State Northridge men’s basketball team (4-5) is coming off a 0-2 road trip where it played from behind thoroughly. The Matadors trailed for all but five minutes against Washington on Dec. 6 and were led from wire-to-wire at Denver two days later. It was the continuation of a trait CSUN’s been showing all season: starting slow. Thankfully for the Matadors and their head coach, Bobby Braswell, Northridge has also shown it can mount comebacks. “It’s not a bad… Read more
