Weber State (8-12, 5-5) shares that spot with CSUN, thanks in large part to a defense that scored 22 points off Northridge turnovers and an offensive balance that also produced double-digit scoring from Cyrstal Howe (12 points), Jamie C. Peterson (12) and Kris Clyder-Gardner.

Kristi Rose led Northridge with 11 points and Monica Hernandez, ReShawnda Richardson and Kameelah Purdom added 10 points apiece for the Matadors, who trailed 28-21 at the half.
