Gauchos sink in the valley as CSUN tops 100 points in rout

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - UCSB's defense didn't make the trip to the San Fernando Valley as Cal State Northridge broke the century mark on the scoreboard.
The Matadors routed the Gauchos 103-77 to complete the season-sweep.
It's the most points UCSB has ever allowed under head coach Joe Pasternack and the most by a Gaucho team since 2007.
The loss means UCSB can no longer finish in the top 4 in the Big West so the Gauchos will not receive a bye in the upcoming league tournament.
Scotty Washington had a game-high 23 points for the Matadors.
UCSB was led by Jason Fontenet II with 18 points.
The Gauchos are 11-8 in the Big West but they are 1-6 against the four teams ahead of them in the standings.
