Two days after upsetting fourth-ranked Pepperdine at home, the Cal State Northridge men’s volleyball team dropped a Western Intercollegiate Volleyball Assn. match Thursday night at Stanford.

Stanford, ranked 12th, defeated the eighth-ranked Matadors, 15-2, 10-15, 15-13, 1-15, 15-4.

“We just made too many mental mistakes in the fifth game,” CSUN Coach John Price said. “It was a combination of them playing really well and us breaking down mentally.”
