A season-opening tune-up turned into disaster for the Cal State Northridge men’s volleyball team when the Matadors, who had defeated La Verne in 18 previous matches, fell to the host Leopards (2-1) in five games Wednesday.

Freshman Eckhard Walter had 20 kills, but also eight hitting errors.

“It was just too quiet, almost like we were just going through the motions,” said outside hitter Junior Mosones, who had 19 kills. “It was very disappointing.”

The Matadors begin Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play Saturday at UC San Diego.
