The 2009 win streak may be over, but the season goal remains the same – winning a conference championship and gaining a high-seed for the NCAA tournament a month from now. 
    That's the position of Cal State San Bernardino, 19-1 overall, 12-1 in the CCAA and ranked No. 1 in the West Region and No. 3 in the nation, as it prepares for a three-match homestand that includes one ranked opponent – Chico State. 
    One streak that is in tact and will be challenged this week is the Coyotes' current home winning streak of 23 straight dating back to the start of the 2008 season. CSUSB is 6-0 in the friendly confines of Coussoulis Arena so far in 2009.
