The Matadors will then travel to Santa Clara to face a tough 5-1 Bronco team.

Matadors and Broncos tip off Friday, Nov. 30 at 4 p.m. Before returning the Matadors will make one more stop in Berkeley to face No. 15 California. The Bears are 6-0 and led by one of the most dominant centers in the NCAA, Senior Kristine Anigwe.

Anigwe is coming off a 34 point performance against Houston and a 22 rebound night in a win against Penn State.
