Cal State Fullerton hosted Cal State Northridge for the Big West Conference opener on Sunday, Feb. 5, at the Titan Tennis Courts. It was a disappointing day for the Titans as they lost their first conference match.

Northridge defeated Fullerton in all three doubles matches. During the No. 2 match, Matadors Nigora Sirojiddinova and Anna Yang shut out Titans Monica Rodriguez and Kalika Slevcove.  Northridge also won five of the six singles matches.
