Turnovers Costly in CS Northridge Defeat

The momentum gained from Monday’s record-setting victory didn’t carry over from the home court to the road for Cal State Northridge here Thursday night. The Matadors made too many turnovers--a season-high 29--to sustain an offense in their 95-73 loss to Eastern Washington.

In falling to 7-12, Northridge bore little resemblance to the team that scored a school-record 123 points against U.S. International three nights earlier.

The poor passing and ballhandling negated Northridge’s 67.7% first-half shooting effort--well above its 42% season average--because the Matadors were limited to 15 field-goal attempts.
