The game time Friday night against UCLA has been changed to 7:30 PM.

It will be the Matadors first home game of the second half of the season and the first of a two game weekend series against the Bruins. The game time for Saturday night is still scheduled for 8:30 PM.

Since the 2007-08 season the Matadors and Bruins have played three times with the Matadors winning all three.

Anaheim, Calif.- Cal State Northridge earned their first road win and winning streak in Division 2 with a 4-3 victory over Cal State Fullerton.

The Matadors got on the board first at 14:43 of the first period with a deflection goal from Freshman Ryan Kunisaki. Fullerton answered back at 8:33 with a shorthanded goal by Payne Sauer.

At 16:55 of the second the Matadors scored a shorthanded goal of their own when Freshman Patrick Nelson slid the puck through the five hole of Alex Miller on a breakaway. At 10:27 Freshman Ellis Bourgoujian found a loose puck in the slot and fired it home to extend the lead to 3-1.

Fullerton narrowed the lead at 8:05 of the third period on a goal from Tyler Atkins. But Northridge struck right back 47 seconds later on a deflection goal from Junior Brian Carcerano. Adam Brusig capitalized on a Matador turnover at 3:51 to make things a little more interesting. Brusig then hurt his team's chances to tie the score by taunting the Matador bench and earning an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The Matadors couldn't score on the power play. The Titans pulled Miller but weren't able to tie it up.

Sophomore Michael Standke earned the victory for Northridge. The Matadors swept the two game season series with the Titans with the victory.

Next weekend the Matadors will head back home to play a two game series with fellow Valley Ice Center tenant UCLA. Both games will begin at 8:30 PM.

Cal State Northridge will begin the second half of the season Saturday night at Cal State Fullerton at 7:50 PM.

The Matadors finished out the first half with a 6-2 win over USC to improve their overall record to 3-9-1. This is the second and final time Northridge and Fullerton will play each other this season. Back on November 2 the Matadors came back from a 4-2 deficit in the third period to win 7-4. The Matadors power play was red hot that night going 5 for 11.

The Matadors have played the Titans three times since Fullerton re-started their team in 2009. The Matadors won two of them and lost in overtime in the other game.

Panorama City, Calif.- Cal State Northridge bounced back from an 8-0 loss to #9 Loyola Marymount Friday night and beat USC 6-2.

The Matadors had several players out of the line-up and only dressed 11 skaters. But that didn't slow them down as Freshman Branden Casillas scored first on the power play at 15:28. That's the way the first period ended.

Freshman Ryan Kunisaki scored his first career goal at 14:16 of the second period also on the power play. USC got into the game at 1:29 on a goal by Andrew Walkon but the Matadors struck back with 58 seconds left on a goal by Senior Shearson Unda. It was the first time Northridge held the lead after the second period this season.

USC narrowed the lead to 3-2 at 16:13 on a goal by Roberto Yslas. But Northridge controlled the rest of the game with goals by Sophomore Dustin Martin, Sophomore Eric Roberts and Kunisaki.

Sophomore Kevin Noonan earned his first victory of the season and his 14th career victory.

The win snapped a three game losing streak. The Matadors head into the holiday break with a 3-9-1 record.

The Matadors first game of the new year will be Saturday, January 12 at Cal State Fullerton.
