CSUN SCORES
"It's disappointing we didn't play better at our home event but Blake and Mats were obviously the bright spots and Gabe (Barnes) also played well. All the guys on this team are very capable of shooting low numbers. I don't want to dwell on this result, we're a much better team than we showed at this tournament. We'll look forward to Pacific next week and hopefully play well as a team to finish up the fall."Â
UP NEXT
The Matadors complete the fall portion of the 2019-20 schedule as they head to Stockton for the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational at The Reserve at Spanos Park (Oct. 21-23).
