The CSUN men's soccer team will travel to south this weekend to play their first two games away from Matador Soccer Field. They will face CSU Bakersfield and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) as part of the Cal State Fullerton Tournament.

The men's soccer season is here. The Matadors finished last season with a record of 7-7-6 overall and 3-5-4 in Big West Conference-play. It was good enough for fourth place in their league, but not good enough to satisfy CSUN supporters. Northridge will now strive for a significant improvement from 2007. It's time to translate the Matadors' abilities into results.
