Ila Lane leads the nation in total rebounds (315), and ranks second in rebounds per game (13.1) and is eighth in double-doubles (15). In addition to her rebounding efforts, she leads the conference in field goal percentage (57.6) and is fifth in scoring (14.6). This is the 67th meeting between CSUN and UC Santa Barbara with the Gauchos leading the all-time series 46-20.

CSUN will then travel to Cal State Fullerton on Saturday for a 6 p.m. start. The Titans begin the week with a 13-10 overall record, and a 4-5 mark in Big West play. The Titans face UC Davis Thursday morning before hosting CSUN.
