The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team won its second consecutive Big West Tournament champi-onship Sunday at Alex G. Spanos Stadium in San Luis Obispo.

CSUF began its road to the title Thursday, downing Cal State Northridge 1-0.

“We’re in places where we wanted to be, where we’re meant to be and to make sure that we behave accordingly and react and respond in sit-uations accordingly. We’re not just visiting, this is where we’re meant to be,” CSUF Head Coach Demian Brown told FullertonTitans.com.

The Titans headed into the game on a five-game winning streak. Ironically, the first win in that stretch came against Northridge.

A Rebecca Wilson spot kick lifted Fullerton over the

Matadors on Oct. 19. It took a little longer than

usual for Fullerton to get the ball rolling.

The Titans, who normal-ly are able to get off a shot within the first two minutes of a match, had to wait until the fifth minute for Aman-da Howard to create the first chance.

Howard’s shot went wide, but so did the headed attempt of CSUN’s Kendall Moskai 10 minutes later.

Both teams would contin-ue to misfire until the 33rd

minute, when Northridge’s Brittanie Sakajian finally forced a save from Titan goal-keeper Jennifer Stuart.

Stuart made two more saves in the 53rd and 57th

minutes, respectively, but aside from those chances, the Matadors failed to generate much offense.

The $20 million redesign of the Titan Student Union was a center of conten-tion Thursday during a du-al-purpose Pizza with the Presidents town hall. The event was also an oppor-tunity to give feedback on proposed TSU designs.

Proposed designs drafted by three competing archi-tecture firms were unveiled for the first time less than two weeks ago. Since then, the Titan Student Centers Governing Board, which approved the redesign, has sought feedback on poten-tial designs through open forums held on campus.

Representatives from the Fullerton chapter of Stu-dents for Quality Educa-tion, a student advocacy group, were concerned with the fact that $20 million had been allocated from re-serves for the redesign.

Carie Rael, a history grad student and member of the group, said there should be a way to divert funds from Associated Stu-dents, Inc. and the student centers to help the campus in ways that would benefit the campus as a whole, like repairing and reopening the closed floors of Pollak Library, she said.

Floors 1, 4, 5 and 6 of Pollak Library South have been closed since the mag-nitude 5.1 La Habra-cen-tered quake in March. The floors are likely to stay closed for at least another three years as the library prepares for a large-scale renovation that was planned before the earthquake.

Students at the Thursday meeting asked for a stron-ger push from Associated Students to both distribute funds and change the way funds are allocated to al-low money to be diverted to emergency needs within the university.

“ASI is a state-incorpo-rated entity and (California State Student Association) could come together and allocate funds that would come from ASI fees to pay for something like the li-brary, especially in cases where a university doesn’t have access to books. That’s the issue,” Rael said.

Associated Students rep-resentatives did not ac-knowledge a resolution for redistribution of funds for library repair.

“These fees were also al-located before the library earthquake happened, so there is no way for us to kind of use these exact fees for that because they were allocated in the past and they were saved up in the past for this expansion,” said Associated Students Executive Vice President Michael Badal.

SQE, however, is de-manding more action and accountability from Asso-ciated Students.

Innovative business ideas can take years to develop, plan and eventually pitch.

But sometimes all you have is 60 seconds.

That’s exactly the chal-lenge that groups of in-novative high school and college students had at the Fast Pitch hosted Saturday

by the Cal State Fuller-ton Center for Entrepre-neurship and Economic Education.

Teams from nearly 20 high schools and universi-ties pitched their business ideas to a panel of judges, hoping to grab the honor of winning the competition as well as the scholarships that come with victory.

“It was exhilarating. Just getting up there for the first time,” said CSUF business major Brian Brady. “It’s

amazing, just the thrill and energy that comes to you when you have such an idea that you love, and you get out there and pres-ent it.”

Brady earned third place and a $500 scholarship with his product, “Cyber-text,” an online book-rent-ing company that would allow students to rent text-books for a small fee on their laptop, phone or tablet only when they need it.

Student teams pitched

their ideas to a panel of judges that included CSUF alumnus Dan Black, en-trepreneur Vas Arora and previous Fast Pitch winner Geneva Acholonu.

Joining them to judge the business ideas were Su-zanne DeRossett, president of Empire Building Ser-vices, and local business-man Bill Taormina.

The competition took place in two parts. During the first half, contestants had 60 seconds to pitch

their business idea and give a brief explanation of their product to the crowd and judges.

After each team com-pleted their 60-second pitch, judges picked five finalists from both high school and college to en-ter the lightning round—a three-minute round during which judges were able to ask finalists in-depth ques-tions about their product.

Five injured in Pomona shooting

Wrong-way driver injures one

License regulations expanded

A gunman wound-ed five people in a Po-mona park when he opened fire at a group Saturday night, ac-cording to the Los An-geles Times.

At about 7:55 p.m., police officers re-sponded to reports of shots fired from a vehicle nearby Palo-mares Park.

The five victims were transported to Valley Medical Center to be treated for gun-shot wounds.

The victims, three men and two wom-en whose ages range from 31 to 56, are de-scribed as frequent visitors to the park.

Investigators are attempting to deter-mine if the shooting was gang-related. The gunman remains at-large as of Sunday evening.

A woman was ar-rested under suspicion of driving under the in-fluence after causing a wrong-way crash on Interstate 405, ac-cording to the Orange County Register.

The crash was re-ported just after mid-night Sunday and occurred near the Fairview Road off-ramp, a California Highway Patrol dis-patcher said.

The driver was ap-parently headed the wrong way on the freeway off-ramp and crashed head-on into a white SUV exiting the freeway. One person was sent to Western Medical Center in San-ta Ana and is in moder-ate condition.

The name of the driver has not been released as of Sunday evening.

The California De-partment of Motor Vehicles proposed new regulations Fri-day which would make it easier for undoc-umented residents to obtain a California driver’s license, ac-cording to the Orange County Register.

The DMV released an expanded list of ac-ceptable documents to prove identity and proof of residency be-fore granting a driver’s license to an undocu-mented resident.

Those living in the country without docu-mentation will be able to apply for a license after Jan. 1, due to a law passed by Cali-fornia legislature last year.

About 1.4 million new drivers are pre-dicted to apply for li-censes in the next three years.

After the lightning round, judges reconvened one last time to pick three winners from the high school and col-lege categories.

CSUF business administra-tion major Cristian Sanchez pitched “Guppy Tank Jr.,” a program geared toward teach-ing children entrepreneurial skills.

Sanchez finished second place, receiving a $1,000 scholarship. His win motivat-ed him to push even further in his innovation, he said.

“I can think of a great idea, but if I have 20 other people thinking it’s a great idea, it’s not a great idea anymore, it’s an amazing idea, so it tells me to keep pushing this idea to get more attention and implement it out into the world,” Sanchez said.

CSUF Master of Busi-ness Administration stu-dent Rafique Sheikh im-pressed judges most, winning first place and a $1,500

scholarship.Sheikh’s pitch “Air PNP”

was a plan to connect people looking for parking with those who have parking spaces to offer in their residences, busi-nesses and other locations.

“Right now I’m speech-less, because the email came through and I casually signed up for it. I wasn’t mentally pre-pared. I had zero preparation for this. I just had the idea in my head,” Sheikh said.

Brian Loh and Sharlena Luyen, both Troy High School seniors, finished first and sec-ond place in the high school competition. Loh’s first place finish awarded him $500 and an iPod Nano. Luyen, in sec-ond place, received $300 as well as an iPod Nano.

Luyen’s pitch “Safe Belt,” was a seat belt that measures the driver’s heart rate. If the driver’s heart rate fell below a certain rate, it would send a shock or turn on the radio to prevent him or her from sleeping or driving while intoxicated.

Luyen was particularly hap-py given that she had little preparation for the competi-tion, she said.

“I’m very happy. I thought I wasn’t even going to be able to speak on stage,” she said. “I came in with just an idea, and no pitch prepared or review over the lightning questions.”

Loh’s “Kinetic Char-ger Case” pitch was a de-vice that would use the ki-netic energy generated by walking to charge a phone. As a first-time contestant, Loh said the presentation was nerve-wracking.

“It was really nervous for me when I went up to speak. I’ve never done this before,” Loh said.

Black, whose $4.2 million donation named Dan Black Hall, offered words of encour-agement to students.

“I hope they understand there were really no winners or losers, just some that made a little better presentation than the others. They’re all win-ners,” he said.

Cal State Fullerton will go global during the Cel-ebrating International Ex-periences expo to kick off International Education Week next Monday.

International Education Week, an annual program promoted by the Depart-ment of State and Depart-ment of Education, is meant to encourage international travel and exchange among students in the U.S.

The daylong expo will highlight CSUF interna-tional activities, including information for faculty on incorporating international activities into their cours-es or setting up and partic-ipating in existing interna-tional programs.

“The goal of the kick-off event is to celebrate stu-dent, faculty and staff en-gagement in international

activities to date,” said Kari KnutsonMiller, Ph.D., interim associate vice pres-ident for International Pro-grams and dean of Univer-sity Extended Education.

The event was put togeth-er by a nine-member com-mittee of CSUF faculty, including Knutson Miller and Dean Kazoleas, Ph.D, director of the Maxwell Center for International Communications and Me-dia. The Maxwell Center is dedicated to promoting in-ternational education and research within the College of Communications.

“The link to internation-al education has to include faculty, and in the past we’ve focused on just going directly to students; now we want to involve more faculty in it,” Kazoleas said.

The event will include a panel of four Fulbright Program grant recipi-ents who will discuss their own experiences working abroad.

The Fulbright Program

at large operates in more than 155 countries and pro-vides approximately 8,000 annual merit-based grants in various fields of study. Those awards include 800 grants for American pro-fessors and scholars to conduct research, study or teach in other countries.

In order to participate, faculty applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent.

Grant recipients are se-lected by the president-ap-pointed 12-member J. Wil-liam Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

The Fulbright Program recently lifted a rule re-stricting previous grant awardees from receiving a second grant. However, the

program gives preference to candidates who have not had considerable recent ex-perience abroad.

“I know we haven’t had that many Fulbright Schol-ars from Cal State Fuller-ton, but we’d like to see more of them in the fu-ture,” Kazoleas said.

There will also be infor-mation on how to use other resources to gather funding

in order to offset some of the costs of operating inter-national studies programs, Kazoleas said.

Faculty will not be the only beneficiaries of the expo. At its core, the event is meant to benefit students by providing faculty with the tools to incorporate

international activities into their teaching.

“We would like to see the number of Cal State Fuller-ton students participating in international activities increase given its signifi-cant, potentially transfor-mative, impact on student development,” Knutson Miller said.

The main barrier for CSUF students to study abroad is affordability and time, Kazoleas said.

“A lot of students can’t go abroad for a semester or a year—they have family obligations or they work,” Kazoleas said. “We’re try-ing to build more programs that fit the working student lifestyle.”

Celebrating International Experiences will take place next Monday in the Titan Student Union Pavilions. Interested faculty must RSVP by Monday. The event will begin at 10:15 a.m. and more information is available through the of-fice of extended education at (657) 278-2937.

In an era where massive data breaches have caused some consumers anxiety while swiping their credit card, keeping out hackers is a hot topic among students learning to build and main-tain the systems that often fall victim.

At the College of Engi-neering and Computer Sci-ence’s second annual Cyber Security Day Friday, indus-try experts familiar with the level of damage a hacker can level against a system shared their expertise with ECS students.

“Cyberwarfare ... has be-come much more import-ant than perhaps nuclear warfare,” said Raman Un-nikrishnan, Ph.D., dean of the College of ECS. “It can wipe out what we consid-er important by doing some things that many of you in the audience are capable of doing.”

Virginia Mushkatblat from Hush Hush, a company that masks important information in documents stored digital-ly, talked about the growing demand for cybersecurity.

She cited the recent data breaches at Target, Home Depot and Snapchat that af-fected tens of millions of consumers. Shoppers weren’t the only ones affected by hackers, however—August saw data breaches at med-ical centers that pose an

additional threat to personal security.

Since last year, the col-lege has added two classes on cybersecurity and has be-gun integrating cybersecuri-ty into some existing classes, and the program is some-thing that will continue to grow.

Information security an-alysts are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations in the coun-try, according to a 2013 re-port by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Mikhail Gofman, assistant professor of computer sci-ence, compared cybersecuri-ty to a game of chess.

“We don’t have a per-fect algorithm for winning a chess game. Perhaps the al-gorithm does not even exist,” he said. “We can learn to get better at chess and we can get better at cybersecurity.”

But for Gofman, the over-all goal is for the college to one day become a Nation-al Security Agency-recog-nized Center for Academic Excellence in Information

Assurance, joining just two other California State Uni-versity campuses with that distinction.

Carter Jones, security con-sultant for Cigital, a software security firm, discussed the importance of “Patch Tues-day,” when software im-provements or fixes are re-leased monthly to users of the Microsoft Windows op-erating system. Many hack-ers, however, analyze these patches to find the vulnera-bilities in the software in or-der to target computers that

haven’t been updated yet and are therefore still vulnerable, he said.

With hackers getting bet-ter and better at analyzing this software code, many can identify the vulnerabilities in as quickly as a day, which has now given rise to an oc-currence known as “Exploit Wednesday.”

Bill Willis, a global sub-ject matter expert for se-curity and identity at IBM, explained how biometric au-thentication, or using a face, fingerprint or the iris of an

eye can confirm someone’s identity.

Biometric authentication is becoming increasingly pop-ular, and is included in tech-nology like Apple Pay, which allows users to make a pur-chase with a quick scan of the fingerprint.

Although only three of those biometric authenti-cation features are current-ly used, Willis believes that voice recognition can one day be used as an identifi-er. The technology, however, just isn’t there yet, he said.

“This is an extreme case where an exception should be made,” Rael said. “We’re holding you, our leaders, ac-countable as ASI, as sup-posedly representing the students.”

There was also concern regarding how the future Student Union construction would affect students’ ability

to use the Student Union. The availability of space during the renovation will be con-tingent on which plan is cho-sen, said Associated Students President Harpreet Bath.

Construction is planned to take about 2 1/2 years, he said.

Worries regarding facul-ty conduct were also raised. CSUF student Spencer Snook expressed serious concern

that reports filed by students regarding faculty misconduct had not been dealt with.

Snook claimed that five years ago a professor sexu-ally harassed a class that he was in. He declined to state what occurred, but said the course was being video taped as content for distance learn-ing courses. He and several students reported it and noth-ing was done, he said.

“No one cares,” Snook said.

He added that this wasn’t the only case of inappro-priate faculty behavior that he’s reported. He said an-other one of his profes-sors frequently has “melt-downs” in class.

“We do care,” said CSUF President Mildred García.

She called forward Vice President of Human

Resources, Diversity and Inclusion Lori Gentles to speak to Snook’s claims.

“We do have a process for students, as well as fac-ulty and staff, to report any type of abuse: sexual ha-rassment, hostile work en-vironment, discrimination, retaliation,” Gentles said.

She directed the audi-ence to read about the pro-cess online and said that

there were places on cam-pus where students could go, such as Student Affairs or the WoMen’s Center.

“It’s disheartening to hear that scenario that (Snook) explained,” Gen-tles said. “I think we can do a better job of commu-nicating all the avenues that our students can access to get assistance when they need it.”

Associated Students President Harpreet Bath and Cal State Fullerton President Mildred García fielded student questions during the Pizza with the Presidents town hall event.

It’s astonishing how morals and ideals from over one hun-dred years ago can still be rel-evant to the world today. The transcendental thoughts con-veyed in The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail may have been in a mid-19th century set-ting, but they can still be used today.

In the philosophical play written by Robert Edwin Lee and Jerome Lawrence, author Henry David Thoreau is pre-sented as a young and eager Harvard graduate who un-ashamedly and uncondition-ally stands up for what he believes.

In one instance of Thoreau practicing his belief of civ-il disobedience, he refuses to pay taxes to an unjust govern-ment, which lands the philos-opher a night in jail.

The play begins with Tho-reau in his jail cell, and a se-ries of flashbacks reveal what has lead to this point.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail opened Friday in the Young Theatre. The play uti-lizes a minimalist set with the jail cell being centered and a collection of small trees in the background to convey a forest. The jail cell is moved back during flashback scenes to distinguish them from the present scenes.

The minimal set design by Ashley Strain sometimes causes the characters’ location to be ambiguous, however the

overarching theme of nature is well represented and adds to the production.

The benevolent Thoreau is played by fine arts acting ma-jor Kyle Anderson. Even be-fore the play starts, Ander-son is in character on stage, pacing through his jail cell to pass the time.

Anderson’s presentation of Thoreau illustrates the philos-opher’s love for nature. An-derson moves with bliss and his eyes light up as Thoreau gives his young students a botany lesson.

Through Anderson’s clear diction and powerful stage presence, the transcenden-tal concepts of Thoreau are clearly interpreted in the show.

Thoreau’s friend and con-temporary, Ralph Waldo Em-erson, is played by CSUF faculty director Christopher Shaw, who is also a friend of the show’s director, Mark Ramont.

Emerson was a fellow tran-scendentalist who had a ma-jor impact on Thoreau during his time at Harvard. Em-erson shares many of Tho-reau’s philosophical views, but lacks his drive for politi-cal activism.

Shaw uses a delicate pos-ture and strong conviction in his portrayal of Emer-son, making the character a modest and soft-spoken deep thinker.

Thoreau’s cellmate, Bailey, is played by Alexander Burt. Bailey has been in jail for three months awaiting trial for his alleged crime.

Burt brings a humble and

direct attitude in his portray-al of Bailey as he questions Thoreau about his complex ideas.

As they spend their time in jail, Thoreau and Bailey share an interesting exchange be-tween intellectual and simple-ton. Burt and Anderson create a humorous dynamic between each other through their char-acters’ natural tendencies.

Other characters play their part in Thoreau’s many flash-backs such as Deacon Ball, a strict school administra-tor played by Tyler Cass,

Thoreau’s overbearing moth-er played by Tamara Veres-Vailant and his comical brother John played by Sean Casey Flanagan.

Although many of the pro-duction’s characters are very well developed, some scenes lacked a certain magnitude that is needed. Subsequent-ly, some of the supporting characters are forgettable and leave a bleak impression on the plot.

Most of the show’s faults can be attributed to the script being somewhat dull,

however the script does offer many compelling and relat-able themes.

Thoreau’s message of non-conformity and individualism can resonate with anyone who listens. His thoughts on phi-losophy and ethics have stood the test of time and will con-tinue to be a foundation for moral excellence.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail not only does justice to one of America’s great authors, but also highlights the defining moments of his endeavors.

The Night Thoreau Spent in JailTHEATER REVIEW:

Art enthusiasts flocked to Ronald Reiss’ exhibit at Cal State Fullerton’s Be-govich Gallery Saturday night, which showcased his artwork from the ’60s through his latest series of floral paintings.

Reiss stood in the gal-lery encompassed by his colorful works of art show-ing his progression through the years as an artist and a person. The two-room gal-lery hummed with chatter as people moved from the entrance through his art-work. Once they finished looking at all of the works,

they waited to talk with the artist himself. The atmo-sphere felt like a reunion among friends.

Pieces like Twosome showcased his use of plas-tic materials like fiberglass and resin. A circular piece of fiberglass hung gleam-ing on the wall with hues of orange and red with two figures in the center.

“I was one of the pio-neers in plastics back when plastics were considered an abrasive, nasty thing to do to make art out of it,” Reiss said. “I began to do it, and later there were a lot of oth-er artists who did that.”

In the ’70s, Reiss con-centrated on the content of his art forms and created miniature tableaus encased in plexiglass, which look

like shadow boxes. They depict modern American culture from murder cases to corporate life.

The tableaus sat in the center of both rooms, drawing people’s attention for long periods of time because it took a while to

take in all the small and in-tricate details each scene had.

Reiss said his pieces are influential to people in dif-ferent points in time; the miniature sculptures were

influential to a whole body of artists in the ’70s be-cause they were like mini installations, and a lot of artists found a lot of mean-ing in that.

“I thought the miniature sculpture boxes were very fascinating and detailed,”

Ebeny Reyes, 27, said.Reiss’ latest pieces are

his floral paintings. They explore realism versus flat graphic shapes. His pieces show colorful flowers and lilies with other shapes and

lines floating in the middle of canvases. The most fa-mous floral painting is the Fleur du Mal II. The piece was used on the poster for the art show and show-cased his use of acrylic on canvas.

“My favorite painting was the lilies because I was very drawn to the color and the wonderful energy it was giving out,” Reyes said.

Reiss said his inspiration for the paintings is about finding a place in the world and being an expressive person.

“Painting has been my way (of being an expres-sive person), and making these miniature sculptures and what it means to be an artist is to be an expressive

instrument of society. We do the expressing for peo-ple who are busy doing other things. Someone has to do that for us, and I’m one of the people who do that and I love doing it,” Reiss said.

In the second room, peo-ple gathered in a small, darkened room to watch a video produced by the Be-govich Gallery and narrat-ed by Reiss. It showed a behind the scenes look to some of his paintings. He explained his love for pol-itics and how it influenced some of his pieces.

In the video, Reiss said people should spend some time with each art form to meditate and interact with it, which is exactly what the attendees did.

A former California sen-ator convicted of multiple counts of voter fraud was supposed to serve 90 days in jail. Instead, he spent a grand total of one hour in jail.

Roderick Wright, who lied about his address to re-main on the ballot for the 35th State Senate District, committed a crime that af-fected many people.

He lied to his constitu-ency, whose best interests should have been at the top of his mind.

This is unacceptable, and Californians should be probing into the root caus-es of why people responsi-ble for major offenses aren’t

being held accountable in the first place.

Still, in spite of an offense that affected nearly a mil-lion Californians, Wright was let off the hook in a relatively short amount of time.

In the case of Wright and many others, the problem lies in the fact that many of California’s county jails are currently maxed out with inmates.

County jails have tradi-tionally seen overcrowding over the past several years. Los Angeles’ County Jails are notoriously overcrowd-ed, but so are jails in River-side, Orange and San Ber-nardino Counties.

A lot of it has to do with bad spending on the part of the counties, which sud-denly became responsible for tens of thousands of in-mates with the passage of

AB 109. The bill required the

counties to take on many of the low-risk inmates the states once handled as a type of “realignment,” but it also allotted funds for those counties to process these ad-ditional prisoners.

The results of AB 109 have been mixed. A joint study from the Stanford Law School and Stanford Crimi-nal Justice Center concluded that counties which spend money on alternative pro-grams rather than incarcer-ation generally tend to re-ceive a lot of support from their sheriff’s departments and district attorney offices for their positive impacts.

However, counties that spend more of the money on enforcement and correc-tions don’t see major im-provements. They still face high crime rates, a shortage

of staff and historically high rates of imprisonment.

The San Bernardino County jail system was re-cently knocked on this by statewide group Califor-nians United for a Respon-sible Budget. The group said the county jail sys-tem could have invested in more alternatives to incar-ceration to reduce its prison population.

Many groups might be quick to argue that com-prehensive alternative pro-grams take time, something many county prisons didn’t have the luxury of after Gov. Jerry Brown passed the bill at the behest of the Supreme Court, which denied Cali-fornia a two-year extension on prison reform.

However, we’re more than three years from the time the bill was passed. It’s high time county agencies and

institutions work toward programs that reduce their jail populations in a smart and effective way.

One of the first ways of doing that would be for county jails to come up with transitional programs to reduce the rate of repeat offenders among released inmates.

After all, many of the con-victs transferred to county jails from state prisons were second and third-time of-fenders. It would seem only logical then that spending should go toward preventing people from returning in the first place.

We cannot allow for a system where those found guilty of crimes are not held accountable for their crimes.

Wright faced eight counts of felony voter fraud and perjury for lying to every

person who lived in the dis-trict he represented, and for those crimes he should have spent eight years in prison. One hour in prison is barely a slap on the wrist.

It’s also unfair to think that a person’s time in jail could be impacted by ex-tenuating circumstanc-es. If a person convicted of the same crimes as Wright had come to the county jail at a time when it was less crowded, he might have to spend the full sentence, or at least part of it, in jail.

It’s time the Los Angeles County Jail and others got smart about how they struc-ture their realignment. The responsibility is now in their hands.

They can either blame the state for the problems they’ve inherited, or they can come up with compre-hensive solutions.

The struggles of the Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team continued over the weekend as they lost two more Big West Conference matches and their fourth straight game overall.

The Titans (7-17 overall, 1-10 Big West) lost to UC Santa Barbara (12-11 over-all, 7-5 Big West) at the Thunderdome Friday night and lost again Saturday night against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (9-13 overall, 4-8 Big West) in San Luis Obispo.

Both matches went to four sets, with the Titans winning only one set in both contests.

Fullerton had very strong performances from their main workhorses, Macken-zie Olsen and Niki Withers, against the Gauchos Fri-day night, but were unable to turn in a full team per-formance to overcome the strong UCSB squad.

Olsen notched her sixth double-double of the season with 10 digs and 31 assists, while the freshman out-side hitter Withers nearly had a double-double of her own with 12 kills and a ca-reer-best eight digs.

The Titans looked com-petitive as they answered a first set loss with a win of their own in set num-ber two, but were unable to use that momentum as they dropped the final two sets to lose the match in four.

Junior Holland Cren-shaw also had a solid per-formance in her hometown as she recorded 11 kills and only one error in 20 attempts.

This proved to be a huge indicator of how the game ended up as CSUF finished the match with 27 errors compared to the Gauchos’ 19.

Fourteen of the Fullerton errors were committed by Withers, who led the team in attempts with 41.

The Mott Athletics Cen-ter in San Luis Obispo saw a completely different Ti-tan team Saturday night as the women came out swing-ing with a number of play-ers reaching new personal bests.

CSUF fought hard lead-ing to three of the four sets going into extended points as the win by two rule was in effect.

Unfortunately, it was not enough as they fell in four sets (27-29, 28-26, 18-25, 24-26).

The Titans dropped to 4-8 in four set matches and 1-6 on the road this season. Withers more than made up

for her double-digit errors Friday night by tying her career-high with 25 kills and setting a new career best by committing only five errors in 58 attempts.

Senior Devin Ulmer also had a career performance as she had 17 digs to lead the Titans.

The Cal Poly SLO

Mustangs used crucial well-timed errors from the Titans and a nine ace advantage to pull out the victory.

The Mustangs were also able to limit themselves to seven less errors than Fullerton.

Currently, CSUF sits only in front of winless UC Riverside (2-21 overall,

0-11 Big West) in second to last place in the con-ference with five matches remaining.

With the championship out of reach, it is still im-portant for the Titans to finish strong and build mo-mentum as they will face their ultimate test during the last game of the season

against rival Long Beach State, who currently sits in first place with an im-pressive 20-4 record, and is undefeated in conference play.

CSUF will get a chance to get back to their winning ways Thursday as they end their three-game road trip against UC Davis at 7 p.m.

Alex Harris scored a game-high 20 points to lead the Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team over Caltech, 84-53, in an exhibi-tion game at Titan Gym Sat-urday night.

The senior guard also led the Titans with six assists and made 8-of-10 from the free-throw line in the win.

Four other Titans reached double figures as redshirt se-nior Moses Morgan scored 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting, while Steve McClellan add-ed 12 points off the bench shooting a perfect 5-of-5 from the floor and filling out the stat sheet with five rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Sophomore Joe Boyd add-ed 10 points on 4-of-6 shoot-ing, while newcomer Ken-nedy Esume poured in 10 points off the bench on 4-of-4 shooting.

Sophomore Sheldon Blackwell grabbed a game-high eight rebounds followed by seven boards from fresh-man Jamar Akoh.

The Titans shot 56 percent (28-of-50) from the floor and outrebounded the Beavers 34-26.

Fullerton also convert-ed 25 of their 33 free-throw

attempts on the night.The Titans dished out 16

assists while recording four blocks and 10 steals.

Fullerton outscored Caltech 38-16 in the paint and scored 25 points off 21 Beaver turnovers.

Luke Lango, Andrew Hogue and Ricky Galliani all scored 10 points to lead Caltech.

The Beavers shot 39.6 percent (21-of-53) from the floor, but knocked down nine 3-pointers as six differ-ent players converted from deep.

CSUF held a 39-26 lead at halftime as Morgan and Harris led the Titans with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

The Titans held the Bea-vers scoreless for the fi-nal 3:16 of the half to build a double-digit lead on a 9-0 run.

The regular season begins Friday at Santa Clara as the Titans open the year on the road for the third consecu-tive season. CSUF does not return to Titan Gym until Nov. 22 against the San Jose State Spartans.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

You need to take things slow today -- otherwise, you may end up having to repeat all your work. Things may feel frantic, but you can tell that this is no real emergency. Stay cool!

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

If it feels as if everyone is waiting for someone else to say something, take the lead. You may not even know what needs to be said, but once your mouth starts working, things should snap into place.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Your mouth is operating about fifty percent fast-er than your brain right now -- but let it go! Sometimes you need to speak unedited in order to get to the truth you don’t even quite under-stand yourself.

Have a great time today -- your energy is perfect for low-key fun and hanging out with friends. Even if you’re stuck at work, you should find it easier to keep a smile on your face.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

It’s a good time to go solo -- at least for now. You should find that things start to get weird social-ly, but that is unlikely to last forever. Make sure that you’re skeptical about all requests.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

You may need to postpone an important ap-pointment or meeting today -- but your flexibil-ity is sure to be rewarded! Just make sure to let everyone concerned know exactly what’s going on.

AQUARIUS(JAN. 20 - FEB. 18):

If you start to get confused looks today, don’t be too surprised -- after all, your ideas are pretty far ahead of their time! Your smarts should help you explain things so others can understand them.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

Something is hidden in plain sight -- so keep your eyes sharp! It’s a good time for you to ask your friends for assistance in divining whatever it is that you’re missing.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team was vic-torious in their Big West Tournament first round match against UC Davis Saturday at Aggie Soccer Field.

The Titans stumbled into the postseason and were winless in their last four regular season matches.

They held off Cal State Northridge in a 1-1 tie Wednesday to clinch a spot in the tournament.

The game started slow-ly, and neither team threat-ened until Ian Palmer got a shot off in the 11th minute.

Titan goalkeeper Jeff Salt made the save to keep the game scoreless.

Fullerton threatened in the 16th minute when se-nior Garrett Losee hit a header just over the crossbar.

One minute later, Mark Vasquez shot from the left side, but Aggie goalkeeper Armando Quezada made the diving save.

Neither team could mus-ter much of an offensive

attack, and the teams went to halftime scoreless.

In the 69th minute, UC Davis defender Ramon Martin Del Campo was given a red card after pick-ing up his second yellow card of the game.

The Aggies had to play the remainder of the game with 10 men on the field.

The Aggies excited their home crowd in the 72nd minute when Dashiell Mac-Namara put one past Salt to give Davis a 1-0 lead de-spite being down a man.

After taking the lead, the Aggies took a conser-vative approach and just tried to keep CSUF off the scoreboard instead of attacking.

The strategy worked for 15 minutes, but the Titans went on the offensive in the final five minutes of the match.

In the 86th minute, Ian Ramos scored the equalizer

to even the game at 1-1. Ramos got a pass from

Jesse Vega and hit a shot from 30 yards out and got it past Quezada.

After scoring the

equalizing goal, Ramos had a corner kick in the 90th minute.

The ball was crossed in and the Aggie defense scrambled to get the ball.

Nigel Patterson poked the ball through traffic to score the game-winning goal with just 8.9 seconds left in the match.

The Titans will travel to

play UC Riverside Wednes-day in the tournament semifinal.

They played UCR to a 1-1 tie in a physical game on Nov. 1 at Titan Stadium.

Fullerton also struggled to get offensive chances, but they capitalized on one of the few instances of at-tack in the 66th minute.

The Titans were awarded a free kick after a CSUN foul, and Brianna Chap-man stepped up to send a cross. Her pass found the head of Morgan Batcheller, who forced an initial save from Northridge goalkeep-er Jovani McCaskill.

The ball dropped in the middle of the box, where Christina Burkenroad was awaiting the rebound. Burkenroad latched on to the rebound and fired into the back of the empty net. In the process, she scored her fourth goal of the sea-son and sent Fullerton through to the Big West Tournament Championship match against rival Long Beach State.

Connie Caliz and Burkenroad each scored in the first 10 minutes of the championship match, which propelled the Titans to a 2-1 victory over the 49ers.

Just 56 seconds into the championship tilt with the Fullerton offense press-ing, Wilson delivered a cross from the right side, and Caliz was able to shoot into the right side of

the net past Long Beach State goalkeeper Ashton McKeown.

After two failed scor-ing attempts by the Titans, Burkenroad doubled the Titans’ lead by attacking the Long Beach State de-fense before firing it over to Wilson.

Once again, Wilson served up a cross and Burkenroad found open space to fire past McKe-own. The junior midfielder scored her fifth goal of the year as she has scored four goals and added one as-sist for Fullerton in the last four games. She was also responsible for both of the Titans’ game winners at the Big West Tournament. Burkenroad’s performance earned her 2014 Big West Tournament MVP honors.

The 49ers cut that lead in half in the 28th minute as LBSU’s leading scor-er Ashley Gonzales tallied her ninth goal of the sea-son, beating Stuart to the far post after firing from the top of the left penalty area.

One of the most crit-ical points of the match came in the 49th minute as Burkenroad was whis-tled for a foul and the 49ers were awarded a penalty kick.

Long Beach State’s Jes-sica Vincent aimed to the

left side, but Stuart guessed correctly and made a div-ing stop.

Stuart totaled a sea-son-high 10 saves, and the Titans held an 18-16 edge in shots for the day.

The Titans have now won their second straight

Big West Tournament title, and will make their second consecutive NCAA Tour-nament appearance. Over-all, CSUF won its fifth Big West Tournament cham-pionship, and the Titans will make their sixth over-all NCAA Tournament

appearance.The NCAA Tournament

bracket is scheduled to be revealed Monday at 1:30 p.m. Fullerton will bring a seven-match winning streak and a 10-match un-beaten streak into their first round matchup.
