Without senior Kristal Phillips, who is tied for the team lead in total points, the Matadors knew they had to continue to get balance offensively.

The CSUN women's soccer team (5-1-0) is one win away from No. 100 and will cross the state-line into Arizona this weekend to try to get it.

It didn't take long for the CSUN women's soccer team to rebound from their first loss of the season.

The Matador's suffered their first defeat of the year on Friday with a 1-0 overtime loss to the No. 20 California Golden Bears in the first match of the Saint Mary's Fall Classic in Moraga. Cal junior Katie Oakes put in the game's only goal in the 97th minute.

Off to the best start in their program's history, the Matadors (4-0-0) will head to Northern California for two games this weekend as they participate in the Saint Mary's Fall Classic in Moraga.

As a sea of CSUN students walk under Sierra Tower and through Sierra Quad, solicitors try to catch their attention. Some of the targeted students stop to see what is being offered, but most of them continue on their way while claiming they are late for class, or that they have to go to work. Others keep walking without even taking notice of the person trying to flag them down.

The Matadors extended their season-opening winning streak to four games as they defeated the University of Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV) 2-1 on Friday at Matador Soccer Field.

The CSUN women's soccer team is off to the best start in school's history, coming out on top of all of this season's three games.

After the first three games to start last season, the Cal State Northridge Matadors hadn't gotten a single victory and only scored one goal. In 2008 however, things have changed drastically.

For the second straight game, the Matador's fell behind in the opening half. And for the second straight game, they came back. The Matadors put up some scoring on the board, getting goals from five different players to defeat the Southern Utah Thunderbirds 5-2 at Matador Soccer Field on Friday.

After a full week off following their 2-1 opening day overtime victory against the San Diego State Aztecs, the CSUN women's soccer team will play two games in three days this weekend.
