The Matadors swept the season series from the Titans. CSUN defeated Cal State Fullerton 63-57 in overtime in Northridge on Jan. 16 before handing the Titans a 57-50 defeat in Fullerton Feb. 22. The Matadors have won 19 in a row in the series against Cal State Fullerton dating back to 2011. Raina Perez was selected MVP of the Big West on Monday.
