“To win with our defense on Thursday the way we did and to be able to come back 48 hours later and have that same mindset, that same energy, it was very gratifying as a coach,” Long Beach State coach Dan Monson said. “Thursday proved to them that if they have to, they can do it. Today proves to them that they wanted to do it. It’s a big step.”
“We grew a lot this week. I think we’re heading in the right direction. There’s teams in this league that are better than us, but we showed ourselves this week that we can get there.”
CSUN had 17 turnovers and was not able to score 60 points due to tough defense. Atin Wright led the Cal State Northridge Matadors with 14 points.
