Maci Fines' two-out triple in the bottom of the third drove in two runs for the Gauchos. Then, pinch-hitter Daryn Siegel singled in a run with two outs in the bottom of the fourth to cut the Matadors' advantage to the final 12-3 score.
All nine offensive starters scored at least one run for CSUN. Alexa Landeros went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored to pace the Matadors. Swan drove in two runs during a 1-for-2 day. Jaymi Steward and Freijanes both recorded two runs scored. Sam Denehy and Allly Nodohara both charted two hits for UCSB.
