BWC play has been bumpy this season for the team. They are now 2-5 in BWC games this season but have a two-game home stand coming up. The team has played better in the Matadome winning three of six. CSUN is coming off a four game loss to Hawaii on the big island. The Matadors will have a total of a six days off to shake the jet lag before the first place Cal Poly Mustangs visits the Matadome. Cal Poly swept CSUN earlier this season when the Matadors offense went dead in the water. Only one Matador managed to register more than 5 kills. Cal Poly has swept just about everyone though, eight of their last 10 wins have been sweeps. Cal Poly and CSUN begin action Friday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. Following the Mustangs’ visit, UC Santa Barbara will enter the Matadome. The Gauchos have also swept CSUN in Santa Barbara this season. CSUN has plenty of time to get back on track starting with the upcoming weekend.
