COACH SUSIE TERRUSA SAID
"I'm really proud of the team and how we played tonight. This is the first time we've beaten Cal Poly in seven years. We stuck with our game plan, served well, blocked well and passed well. We've improved every match throughout the season and have lost some close matches so it's nice to get a win against a very good Cal Poly team."
FIRST SET
In the first set, Cal Poly led by as many as four at 9-5 lead before the Matadors engineered an 8-1 run, capped by a Waggoner kill, to go ahead 13-10. The visitors regained the lead with an 8-3 run that forced a CSUN timeout at 18-16. Cal Poly maintained a two-point edge at 19-17 and at 20-18 when another Waggoner kill fueled a set-clinching 7-2 run giving the Matadors the 25-22 win.

CSUN held a pair of two-point leads early in the secons set before extending the lead to four at 13-9 lead following a block from Hunter and Orshoff. An ensuing 4-0 run by the Mustangs knotted the score at 13-13 and the teams would trade sideouts until Cal Poly went ahead 18-17 on a Kristina Jordan kill. Cal Poly still led by one at 21-20 when a Mustang service error sent the Matadors on a 5-0 run to close the set 25-21.
