The Bulldogs have played only five games through the first two months of the season, but there is an added degree of difficulty of having played all on the road to open the 2018-19 campaign. CSM was scheduled to play its first home game by hosting No. 6 Merced. But that game was initially postponed and then canceled because of the air quality issues that plagued the Bay Area last month.
