CSUN enters the big dance facing off with No. 1 seed Notre Dame. The Matadors will face their toughest test of the season when visiting the (29-3) Fighting Irish.

3/15 and 3/16 Hawaii vs CSUN

Big West volleyball returns to action Thursday and Friday when the No. 3 Hawaii Warriors visit the Matadome. The Matadors have been excellent in their last few games and this could potentially be a huge win for CSUN. The Warriors are having an unbelievable year as they currently hold a record of 13-3 with a handful of wins over teams who have topped the Matadors. However, Arvis Greene and Dimitar Kalchev have been outstanding as of late and with rising help from Josiah Byers and Maciej Ptaszynsk, i the Matadors’ push could be imminent. Friday is costume night in the Matadome so expect Halloween in March. Both games begin at 7 p.m.
