UNLV Invitational (Las Vegas, Fullerton Classic Presented by the Holiday Inn of La Mirada (Fullerton, Calif.) $ Lone Star Showdown (Lubbock, Texas) * Big West Conference match Tops Teams Clash At The Matadome; Set To Broadcast On ESPN3: All eyes will be on the Matadome Saturday evening, not just because it airs on ESPN3, but because it pits league-leading Cal State Northridge (11-1) against second-place UC Santa Barbara (8-2). Back on Oct. 18 at the Thunderdome, the Gauchos swept the Matadors to hand them their only conference loss of the season. A victory for the Matadors, who are a perfect 7-0 at the Matadome this year, would increase the gap between first and second place. A Gauchos win would even the score with both teams having two losses., but more importantly, UCSB would hold the tiebreaker (head-to-head) if the two teams end the season tied for first. Movin On Up: The Matadors, who entered the Top 25 for the first time since 1992 moved up two spots in the AVCA poll to 21st. Northridge has now been ranked or has received votes in 10 straight AVCA Top-25 polls for the first time in school history. 1,000 And Counting...: Earlier this season senior Mahina Haina became the ninth player in Matador history to eclipse the 1,000-kill mark and teammate Natalie Allen is approaching the same mark with a career total of 976.

5 Big West Women s Volleyball UC Riverside 1-22 (0-11) Looking For A W : UC Riverside is the lone team in the conference that has been unsuccessful in securing a Big West victory. This week the Highlanders entertain Irvine (11/14) and Long Beach State (11/15) at the Student Recreation Center.

UC Santa Barbara 13-9 (8-2) UCSB Battles League- Leading CSUN: UC Santa Barbara, who currently sits second in the Big West with an 8-2 mark, hits the road to face UC Davis Thursday, Nov. 14 and league-leading No. 21 Cal State Northridge (11-1) Saturday, Nov. 16. After falling to Hawai i last week, the Gauchos need to pull out a victory against both opponents to remain in contention of the Big West title.

Gauchos Fall To No. 12 Hawai i: Last week UC Santa Barbara suffered its first loss in over month when the Rainbow Wahine snuck past the Gauchos, 3-2, at the Thunderdome.

New Kids On The Block: Freshman Phoebe Grunt currently paces the Big West Conference with a 1.22 blocks per set average. Teammate freshman Allie Sullberg finds herself sitting fourth with a 1.11 mark.
