With 47 seconds left, freshman Andre Chevalier hit a wide-open Todd Bowser underneath the basket and he scored for a 64-60 advantage.

Canisius’ Brendan McCaffrey missed a three-point attempt, and with 20 seconds left Kyle Kerlegan made a free throw to seal it for the Matadors, 3-8 but 3-0 at home.
Chevalier finished with 14 points. Kerlegan scored 11 points despite a cumbersome mask designed to protect his broken nose. Shelton Boykin led Northridge with 13 rebounds.
