CSUN Ventures to Cal State Fullerton, Hosts UC Irvine

The CSUN Matadors (6-6-2, 2-3-1 Big West Conference) continues its run through the Big West Conference South Division with a pair of matches this week.

Maulupe Looks to Take (Another) Leap for CSUN Women’s Hoops

While recently visiting her father’s family in New Zealand, CSUN women’s basketball redshirt sophomore Serafina Maulupe took the leap. Literally, as in plunging over the side of the Harbor Bridge in Auckland attached to a giant rubber band. Her first bungee jump behind her, Maulupe is looking to take another leap over the next several months with the target being Honda Center in March.
