The only other time that the Matadors have started the league schedule 3-0 was in 2004-05. CSUN has won five in a row, the longest winning streak for the Matadors since 2016-17 when CSUN won a school-record nine consecutive games.
- This was the 18th consecutive victory for CSUN in the all-time series against Cal State Fullerton dating back to Jan. 14, 2011 when the Titans defeated CSUN 75-67 in Fullerton.

The Matadors scored 29 points off of the 29 Cal State Fullerton turnovers in the game.
- CSUN is the only undefeated Big West team remaining. Cal State Fullerton, UC Davis, and UC Santa Barbara are all 2-1 heading into weekend games.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "I thought we did a pretty good job of making some tough shots. We gave up some easy baskets at times. It came down to toughness. I thought our toughness wasn't there at times, which almost cost us the game. We had a timeout at the end of regulation and I challenged our group and they responded. De'Jionae down the stretch made some big baskets and if anything epitomizes where our team is now from where we were at the beginning of the year is the play at the end of regulation. Bock had a wide-open look. De'Jionae gave everything she had and she blocked the shot as the buzzer goes off. Meg hit a big three to put us up in overtime. Our kids just made plays and I am proud of them."
- CSUN (8-9) hits the road for the first time in Big West play Saturday when the Matadors travel to Long Beach State (6-10, 1-2 Big West). The tip is set for 2 p.m. and will be streamed by BigWest.tv.
