So nice to be on the winning side of a heartbreak. It was the same story all over. The home team struck first with a goal. Next, in a very short span - not 10 seconds-short, though - the visitor scored two.

The awaited day is here. Kind of. The men's basketball team will have its first game of a 2008-09 season full of expectations tonight at 7 p.m. at the Matadome. The rival will be La Verne. Don't get too excited though, it's just an exhibition game.

Old news: CSUN selected to finish No. 1. Again. Twice in the same day
Big West Conference coaches and media members picked CSUN to finish first in the conference during Media Day Wednesday at Irvine.

Matador Moy Gomez, who was the men's soccer leading scorer before suffering a torn ACL in a home game against UC Riverside Oct. 5, will have season-ending surgery. He finishes the season with four goals. Gomez...

One player labeled it as heartbreaking, another one called it a choke job, Head Coach Terry Davila said it was like a cardinal sin.

The Matadors are coming off a difficult loss at home to UC Santa Barbara. They were playing well and looked in control, but then, in just 10 seconds, it was all gone. Now, they are forced to win. It's that or bye bye Big West Conference Tournament. With that being said, they have a great shot at getting their first win in four games Saturday as they visit the Highlanders of UC Riverside. They're last place, so it should be an easy win, right? Not so fast, says Head Coach Terry Davila. He considers UC Riverside just as tough a game as the one he just came off.

It seems like every team in the Big West Conference is ranked nowadays and here comes another one. Head Coach Terry Davila and the CSUN men's soccer team keep saying that every squad in the conference is even so every game is just as big. While it may be true that the Big West teams' levels of skill are very close '- reflected by the numerous 'upsets' seen this season '- Northridge knows that today's game against No. 14 UC Santa Barbara is not just any game.

The Lakers and Clippers have different aims this season, but they share a curse/privilege: They both play in the Western Conference.

Matadors Sunghyun Kim and Milan Radovic had two potential game-winners waved off for being offsides in the midst of an 'even' back-and-forth Big West Conference battle Saturday afternoon at Matador Field and Northridge (6-5-4, 2-1-3 Big West) couldn't extend its home winning-streak to five after tying with Cal Poly (8-4-4, 3-2-2) 0-0 in double overtime.

Moy Gomez came back today for the mens' soccer team. He got in with 10 minutes left in the half. Going into intermission the score is 0-0. Gomez came out of the locker room dancing to the stadium's music,...

The Matadors had it. They were 10 minutes away from scoring a huge upset at No. 10 UC Davis, but it got away. Now, they're forced to win to remain among the top Big West teams. In comes Cal Poly, a team that heading into last night's game at UC Irvine, was ahead of Northridge in the standings.

The Matadors were as accurate as they could be, but Quincy Amarikwa and UC Davis made that matter little.
