Women’s Basketball first round Big West Playoff vs Hawaii 6 p.m.- The real basketball begins now for the Matadors who are seeking a trip into the NCAA tournament but in order to that, CSUN must win the Big West tournament. Starting tonight CSUN will have to get past Hawaii. The Rainbow Wahine and the Matadors split the season series with each team winning a game on the road. CSUN guards Claudia Ramos and Hayley Tanabe will be in charge of keeping Hawaii leading scorer and Big West First Team player Sarah Toeaina in check. Toeaina (16.2 PPG) is a player who thrives on penetration and attacking the basket. If the Matadors can play help side defense to keep Toeaina out of the paint, the Matadors should come away with the win tonight.
