NORTHRIDGE, Calif.---CSUN Women' Soccer continues Big West play with a pair of tests this week.

Ghizal Hasan has the call for Thursday's home match with the Titans.
LAST TIME OUT
The Matadors (2-8) wrapped up a busy fifth week of the season last week with a victory over Portland State on Sunday. CSUN's 2-0 win over Portland State was highlighted by a brace from Cindy Arteaga, the first of her career. Freshman Hayden Mauldin recorded six saves in front of the net en route to notching her first career shutout, the first by a CSUN goalkeeper this season. Kacie Garrity would pick up her second assist of the season while Izabel Reyes and Stevie Reynolds recorded their first assists in the win.
CSUN also opened up Big West play last Thursday with a 3-1 defeat at CSU Bakersfield. Arteaga would open the scoring on the night with a goal early in the match. CSUN held on to its lead until the 55th minute when the Roadrunners evened the match on a penalty kick. Bakersfield added goals in the 72nd and 83rd minute to put the game away. In defeat, Angelica Claiborne and Cassidy Imperial-Pham, who assisted Arteaga on her first-half goal, registered their first career points with CSUN.
MATADOR HEADLINES
After scoring four goals last week, Cindy Arteaga earned her first career Big West Offensive Player of the Week award on Monday. Arteaga's first strike would come in the 90th minute in a 2-1 loss to UC Irvine on Sept 12. After hitting the net once more versus CSUB, Arteaga posted the Matadors' first brace since 2019 (Alexis White) in the two-goal win over Portland State. Arteaga is the first CSUN player to earn a conference weekly award this season and the first Matador to be named Offensive Player of the Week since Marissa Favela in Sept. 2018.
Arteaga leads The Big West in shots (38) and shots on goal (18) heading into the week while she ranks second in goals (6) and third in points (12). Kacie Garrity is also ranked in ninth place in assists with her two helpers this season. On the saves list, Taylor Thames is in fourth place with 42 while Hayden Mauldin, who has started the last five matches, is in eighth with 28.

Arteaga is currently seventh in program history with 121 shots, one off the pace from sixth place occupied by Brittanie Sakajian (2010-14).
