The Cal State Northridge Matadors (commonly referred to as CSUN or Cal State Northridge) represent California State University, Northridge in Northridge, Los Angeles, California in intercollegiate athletics. They field 17 teams in nineteen sports. A football team was previously fielded, but the program was discontinued in 2001. Men's and women's swimming were also discontinued in 2010. The Matadors compete in NCAA Division I and are members of the Big West Conference.〔http://www.bigwest.org/history/〕 CSUN has been a member of the Big West since the summer of 2001 for most sports. The men's and women's indoor track and field teams, the women's water polo team, and the men's volleyball team compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation instead. CSUN had previously been a member of the Big Sky Conference from 1996 to 2000. The Matadors won 34 NCAA Division II National Titles before moving up to Division I in 1990. That still ranks third all time in Division 2. CSUN's sports teams are known as the Matadors, which was suggested in 1958 by student submissions. The Matador was chosen over four other finalists. They included the Apollos, Falcons, Rancheros and Titans. The Matador is said to reflect the region's Spanish heritage. == Varsity teams == California State University, Northridge sponsors teams in eight men's and eleven women's NCAA sanctioned sports:〔http://www.gomatadors.com/landing/index〕 Men's Intercollegiate Sports * Baseball * Basketball * Cross Country * Golf * Soccer * Track & Field (Indoor # & Outdoor) * Volleyball # Women's Intercollegiate Sports * Basketball * Beach volleyball * * Cross Country * Golf * Soccer * Softball * Tennis * Track & Field (Indoor # & Outdoor) * Volleyball * Water Polo # * # = Teams competing in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. * * = Beach volleyball is a fully sanctioned NCAA sport which will have its first national championship in the spring of 2016.
