  • Cindy Arteaga’s two-goal brace helped CSUN to a rousing 4-2 victory at UC Riverside to close out the 2022 campaign on Thursday and give the forward her second Big West Offensive Player of the Week honor. 

  • The Santa Rosa product opened the scoring early in the sixth minute, and made it 4-0 shortly after halftime in the 50th. She started and played 68 minutes, finishing with five shots, three of them on goal. 

  • Arteaga’s second brace of 2022 came in potentially the final match of her career, as though she is listed as a fourth-year junior, she will graduate this spring. She wound up with career highs of nine goals and 19 total points, both ranking second in The Big West. The nine goals put her at No. 2 in CSUN’s single-season record book. Arteaga moved up to eighth all-time in Matador history with her 12 collegiate goals. 

  • Arteaga appeared in all 19 matches in 2022, drawing 17 starts. Thursday night’s result marked the Matadors’ lone Big West win and pulled them out of last and into a 10th-place league finish. 

  • Arteaga is now a two-time Big West Offensive Player of the Week, having also been named on Sept. 19
