BOX SCORE
LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Mel Miller broke a 36-year-old school record by returning an interception 90 yards, and Marcus Brady passed for 333 yards and two touchdowns as Cal State Northridge beat Sacramento State 36-14 Saturday. Miller's return of Ricky Ray pass midway through the first quarter gave the Matadors (3-3, 2-2 Big Sky Conference) a 10-0 lead and broke the Northridge record of 88 yards set by Jack Burgett against Long Beach State in 1963. Brady, who completed 28 of 39 passes without being intercepted, threw a 74-yard scoring pass to Terrence Jones midway through the second period to give the Matadors a 23-6 lead, and a 6-yarder to Joe Gilliam midway through the third quarter to make it 29-6. Northridge also scored on a 30-yard field goal by Derek Brown and a 4-yard run by DeJuan Gilmore in the first quarter, and a 5-yard run by Jaumal Bradley in the final period. Bradley rushed for 132 yards on 30 carries; Jones caught nine passes for 141 yards, and Gilliam had eight receptions for 99 yards. Sacramento State (4-3, 2-3) scored both its touchdowns on passes from Ray to Lamont Webb _ a 91-yarder in the second quarter, and a 23-yarder with 2:47 left in the game. Ray completed 18 of 36 passes for 276 yards with two interceptions; Webb caught eight passes for 157 yards, and Charles Roberts gained 167 yards on 25 carries for Sacramento State. Northridge rolled up 509 yards in total offense to 423 for Sacramento State.
