Jason Fontenet II scored 18 points in a lopsided loss at CSUN

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.
