Bloody victory

Alonso Tacanga October 7, 2008

With more than half of the CSUN offense out with injuries, a defender stepped up and fired away. A fortunate deflection did the rest.

Matadors kick off conference play

Alonso Tacanga October 2, 2008

The Matadors have had some strong showings this season. They've given flashes of what they're capable of doing when they focus. CSUN has given some proof that it can indeed get to the top of the Big West Conference.

Being a sports journalist is…sigh…

By Staff Reporter Emin Avakian: You know, it’s always nice getting reminded just why I love what I love doing. One of those reminders came Tuesday night. The Northridge women’s volleyball team...

USC in sight for women; Can the refs call a damn foul?

Matadors visit No. 5 Creighton

Alonso Tacanga October 1, 2008

From an undefeated team to an always-tough UCLA, and now to the No. 5 team in the nation, the Matadors are having a 'fun' last couple of weeks. Their travel to Omaha, Neb. to face Creighton is, in Head Coach Terry Davila's words: 'a tremendous test.'

Interviews can sure take a while sometimes…

CSUN faces big road test in UCLA Sunday

Alonso Tacanga September 25, 2008

The Matadors aren't scared of UCLA. They weren't afraid last year when the Bruins came into Matador Soccer Field ranked 10th in the nation just to be humiliated 3-0 and they're not going to be intimidated this time around before a UCLA squad that isn't good enough to be considered top-10 in the Far West region.

Everyone’s riding a bicycle

Alonso Tacanga September 22, 2008

So I know that everyone's biking nowadays, specially with gas still being a bit pricey, but I was a bit surprised to see a big-time CSUN athlete riding one today. I was walking back from Burger King (Just...

Promise Keeper

Alonso Tacanga September 22, 2008

Matador forward Moy Gomez seemed smug during a practice last week when he said CSUN would put up 'at least two goals' against an unbeaten team with a defense that had only allowed one goal in six games. Those just usually aren't the kinds of things one says when his team's on a two-game losing streak.

A bit of BIG advice when attending a Dodger game…

Alonso Tacanga September 21, 2008
