Women's Basketball Notebook #10

NORTHRIDGE, Calif.---After a 2+ week delay due to COVID protocols, the CSUN Women's Basketball team returns to the court Saturday when the Matadors travel to Cal Poly. The tip is set for 2 p.m. with coverage on ESPN+.

CSUN was put on pause from all activities due to COVID protocols within the program on Dec. 28. As a result, the games scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 30 against UC Irvine, Saturday, Jan. 1 against UC San Diego, Thursday, Jan. 6 at CSU Bakersfield were canceled and per the recently adjusted Big West policies, these games will be declared no contest, and they will not be rescheduled.

Cal Poly fell 76-54 to Long Beach State Dec. 30 in the Big West opener for both teams. The Mustangs dropped to 0-2 in Big West play after losing 63-42 to UC Santa Barbara Thursday night. Cal Poly is 1-10 overall.

Maddie Willett is the team leader in scoring (10.5) while Maddie Vick is second on the squad (10.3). Kirsty Brown is ninth in the Big West in rebounding (6.9) and eighth in blocked shots (0.8). Maddie Vick is seventh in the conference in assists (3.6). This will be the 83rd meeting between CSUN and Cal Poly with the Matadors leading the all-time series 42-40. The Mustangs swept both games from CSUN during the 2019-20 campaign in the last games between the two clubs.

CSUN recorded several performances against Antelope Valley on Dec. 21 that will find their way to the Matador record book. In the 90-32 victory against UAV, it was only the fifth time since the program moved to Division I in 1990 that the team scored at least 90 points in a game and was the most for CSUN since the Matadors defeated Weber State 89-78 on Dec. 9, 2016. The 58-point margin was a new school record, breaking the previous mark of 46 which occurred on Nov. 25, 2000, when the Matadors defeated Nicholls State 90-54.

The seven field goals that Antelope Valley recorded were the fewest by a CSUN opponent since the Matadors moved to the Division I level. (9 was the previous low by UC Santa Barbara on Feb. 14, 2015). The 13.5% field goal shooting was the lowest by a Matadors' opponent at the Division I level. The previous low was 19.6% by San Francisco on Dec. 5, 2012. Six of the seven UAV field goals were from three-point range. The 32 UAV points were the fewest scored by a CSUN opponent since Hawai'i scored 29 on Jan. 17, 2019.
