* CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE (5-9, 1-3) at SACRAMENTO STATE (1-11, 0-2), 7:30--Northridge stopped a three-game losing streak with an 84-72 victory over Montana on Sunday. Now the Matadors try to end their seven-game road skid against an opponent that has defeated only Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The Hornets, however, are stronger since forward Sean Houston gained eligibility. Houston, a 6-8 junior, averaged 23 points and 12.5 rebounds in Big Sky Conference losses to Portland State and Eastern Washington. Guard Sedessa Fisher scored 32 against Eastern Washington. Northridge forward Jabari Simmons and guards Mike O’Quinn, Greg Minor and Carl Holmes all average double figures in scoring.
