MATADOR HEADLINES
Nearing the halfway mark of the Big West season, CSUN (1-9-3, 1-1-2) is tied for sixth place in a Big West race where first place and last place is separated by five points. Hawai'i leads the league with 10 points while Cal State Fullerton has nine points and UC San Diego and Cal Poly have seven apiece. UC Riverside holds on to fifth place with six points. Five other teams are tied with CSUN at five points each.
After her performance last Thursday, Hayden Mauldin collected her second-straight Big West Defensive Player of the Week award. Mauldin had four saves, three of which in the first half while facing 11 shots total. She is the first CSUN player to win the Big West Defensive Player of the Week honor in back-to-back weeks in team history. Mauldin also became the first player to receive the conference's weekly defensive honor twice in a season since Jovani McCaskill in 2016.
Mauldin enters the weekend 18th in the nation in saves (69) and 34th in saves per game (5.31). She is also third in The Big West in the saves department while she is tied for third in shutouts (3) and fourth in save percentage (.767).
