Internet picks up the slack for news media, acts as an all-present reporter in Arab Spring protests owned by the U.S. State Department. He says he expected to move to a calm, peaceful country. He had never been in a fist fight before and was suddenly in the middle of a violent revolution. The uprising in Tunisia started Dec. 17, 2010, when Mohamed Bouazizi lit himself on fire in protest. Clayton says from the time Bouazizi lit himself on fire until Jan. 13, international news covering the uprising could not be found. He says he relied on Facebook and blogs to attain information on what was happening around him, and soon in his town of Tunis. See story p. 2

It only read four words: “Stephen has been shot.” Samuel Clayton read on his phone the words that stopped him, he says, and silenced him in the midst of gunfire and tear gas explosions. Clayton, 36, of Seattle, was taken to the forefront of a political and social revolution Jan. 13, in what would later be called the birth of the Arab Spring, in Tunis, Tunisia. For eight years, Clayton had been living abroad teaching English. In 2010, he moved to Tunisia to teach at a school

SUN students talked trash Wednesday during the ninth annual Campus Sustainability Day, a nationwide program sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Hosted by CSUN’s Institute for Sustainability, the event allowed students, faculty and community members to talk about solutions for a sus-

tainable future. “Our goal is to educate people on issues of sustainability,” said Helen Cox, director of the Institute. The event began with a film screening of “Bag It,” a documentary on plastic waste. The film illustrates how the consumptive use of plastic has grown into a never-ending problem. Plastic is among the most generated form of municipal solid waste, along with food scraps, yard trimmings,

Uprising

Continued from page 1 Prior to the revolution, most communication was controlled by government, either directly or indirectly says Dr. Melissa Wall, CSUN journalism professor with a focus on international news, new media and social change. Stephen was Clayton’s coworker, friend and a veteran teaching English abroad. Clayton says Stephen wanted to photograph the historic events in Tunis. Stephen, caught in the middle of a large protest, was

shot in both legs by military personnel while he was holding a large camera. Clayton says soldiers mistook him for a foreign journalist. Stephen survived, but many others did not. More than 200 people died during protests in Tunisia from December 2010 to January 2011, according to Amnesty International. Clayton, like many others in Tunisia, posted real-time messages and photos for the rest of the world to see on social media. For millions in the Middle East and Northern Africa, social sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, allowed

them to anonymously organize and press for social change. “People organized behind the scenes. It was an informal network,” Clayton says. “The government got scared. They thought that if they shut down Facebook, they would have a riot on their hands. The worst censorship of Internet was YouTube. It got completely shut down. Facebook was the only thing Ben Ali left up.” Social networks gave people access they wouldn’t normally have, Wall says. Social media filled in where reporters couldn’t. Media coverage increases the amount of eyes and ears

on a story, and this can lead to international pressure, she adds. Under Ben Ali, Tunisians did not have freedom of press or expression, Clayton says. “There was a lot of corruption going on,” he adds. “After seeing on Facebook and from other media sources that 20 unarmed protesters had been shot and killed, it radicalized people for change.” Former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was captured and killed Oct. 20. He led the country for 42 years without an official executive title or voters’ approval. Gadhafi’s reign officially ended when anti-Gadhafi fighters pulled him out of a drain pipe. Since then, images have been pouring out of Libya showing the dictator’s final moments, covered in blood and beaten. The details surrounding his death are unconfirmed. Mechanical engineering graduate student Muhammad Elgabali, 28, lived in Libya under Gadhafi’s rule. “The protest in Tunisia and Egypt gave us hope again,” Elgabali says. “They showed us that there can be change. “Before, people tried many times to change and Gadhafi was always able to control these people before they were able to do anything.” Elgabali came to the U.S. in 2008 and went back to Libya in summer 2010. He says people were talking about government oppression then

as they had for many years. People would step out to protest peacefully and often times would not return. “The people had no freedom. They suffered a lot,” Elgabali says. “There were no jobs, no infrastructure, no human rights. Libya is a rich country, we have oil. Gadhafi didn’t spend it on the people.” Gadhafi’s “era accumulated an appalling record of disregard for human rights at home and abroad,” according to Human Rights Watch. Elgabali says he believes this uprising was successful because of media attention. The uprising of Tunisia and Egypt allowed the media to focus more on other nearby countries going through similar ordeals. Kassem Nabulsi, CSUN lecturer who specializes in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, says in the cases of Tunisia and Egypt, the governments toppled much faster than in Libya. According to Nabulsi, Libya has a tribal, less homogenous society and weaker economic infrastructure than Tunisia. He says Libya needed foreign intervention to fight the government. More than anything, Elgabali says, the Libyan people want freedom, and he hopes for a democratic government, justice system and a shared interest to build the country with Libyans. It is too early to determine what will happen in Libya,

Nabulsi says. With a tribal society, things are less likely to be predictable. The fighting has ended in Tunisia and Gadhafi’s death marks the end of Libya’s civil war. On Oct. 23, Tunisia held its first democratic election in history. Nabulsi says the focus right now is on constructing a constitution. “An election by itself doesn’t always makes democracy,” he says. “It can reflect religious, secular or neutral aspects.” During the uprising, the government was watching everyone but, for unknown reasons, the Tunisian government never entirely shut down social media sites, Clayton says. But perhaps it was because the “spectacular tool” was tied to the country’s economy, Nabulsi says. “Shutting down the internet would impact the state’s economy, state bureaucracy,” he adds. Clayton describes what he calls “Facebook Revolution” in his blog, Carnivals of Affection. “Yes the real, exciting action mostly took place in the real world,” Claytons blog reads. “But behind it all, Tunisia was like a sea of blinking laptops, with shooting messages, posted updates, pictures and videos, flickering back and forth through innumerable portals at pulsing speeds.”

Nurturing foster youth in higher education programs Karlee Johnson Daily sundial

ormer foster youth who attend institutes of higher education require more assistance in their college career, Superior Court Judge Zeke Zeidler said in a presentation to CSUN students Wednesday. These youth have unique barriers to receiving higher education, said Zeidler, CSUN alumnus and former president of Associated Students. Almost 100 percent of former foster youth need to take remedial math and English courses when they enter the CSU system, Zeidler said. This is compared to 50 percent of overall incoming freshmen. Less than 1 percent of foster youth who attend a Cal State University graduate, Zeidler said, and foster youth who receive aid to pay for

housing are also more likely to be taken advantage of by their parents or family. While former foster youth are at a higher risk because of these circumstances, not all students are affected and the CSU system is attempting to make the university more welcoming to them. “Some foster kids are going to make it no matter what,” said Zeidler. “(But) every foster child has a different experience. The campus community must identify (their) needs and find resources for them.” CSUN’s efforts to create a more accommodating environment for foster youth include accessibility to mentors, advocacy of on-campus housing and foster youth sensitivitytrained advisors, Zeidler said. CSUN is unique in offering the Resilient Scholars program, Zeidler said. Resilient Scholars, a group

of 30 former foster youth, is a program meant to identify motivated foster youth and assist them in graduating. However, there are 253 identified current and former foster youth on campus, Zeidler said. “What’s really needed is for each college to have a liaison to support former foster (youth),” Zeidler said. A.S. Vice President Sydni Powell asked Zeidler what the student senate could do to support the foster youth population at CSUN. “The A.S. has such great resources,” said Zeidler. “This includes talking to academic clubs about mentorship and tutoring, or speaking with the health center about creating a mental health support group (for foster youth).” Powell said she would bring A.S.’s attention to this population of students who need service.

Student dances for joy and studies for change Taylor Villescas Contributor

ith over 33,000 students, CSUN is no stranger to colorful personalities, and a new freshman has danced his way onto campus. “Right now, I’m planning on going out for the dance team or the cheer squad,” Christian Vidaure said. A dancer for six years, Vidaure has performed tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop, musical theater, lyrical and Latin ballroom dancing. He has competed in multiple hip-hop and jazz competitions, taught classes in those genres and performed

in a dance workshop called The Pulse. “The Pulse is an intensive two-day dance event that features the top choreographers in the dance industry, whether it be choreographers from Broadway, music videos or ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’” Vidaure said. “In the end, you gain a tremendous amount of knowledge from the choreographers and they help you become a better and stronger dancer.” It may seem safe to assume Vidaure is studying an artistic subject, but dancing isn’t Vidaure’s only passion. The communicative disorders major said he used to

have a stuttering problem, so he intimately knows the subject matter. Inspired by a speech pathologist who worked at his high school, Vidaure chose CSUN for its highly recognized deaf studies program. “I want to work in elementary and middle schools and help kids with speech impediments,” Vidaure said. He plans to pursue this field while staying in the Los Angeles area instead of returning to his hometown of Stockton in Northern California. While working toward his degree, Vidaure hopes to either double-major or minor in dance. In the meantime, he plans to keep busy with dance teams and hopefully join the casts of a few musicals on campus. “I produced, choreographed and starred in a production of Disney’s ‘Aladdin Junior’ at my high school,” Vidaure said. “I’m excited to get involved here with dance, as well as theater. I can’t wait to begin my journey.”

La Llorona, the weeping woman, scares all who dare to enter her maze, ‘La Llorona: Villa de Almas Perdidas.’

Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights offers several blood curdling mazes, rides and scare zones that mix spinechilling thrills with popular films. The attractions include six mazes, three rides, and four scare zones. The mazes are based on the movies: The Thing, Hostel, House of 1000 Corpses, and The Wolfman. Two other non-movie related mazes are influenced by shock-rocker Alice Cooper’s

twisted mind and “La Llorona,” an urban legend about a mother who drowned her children then killed herself. The three rides, which are based on The Simpsons, The Mummy Returns and Jurassic Park, will be operating with no lights to build anxiety. The Queen Mary’s Halloween Dark Harbor Long Beach’s retired ocean liner is transformed into a haunted palace for the 17th year in a row, complete with five frightening mazes: three on the ship, and two on land. The festival also boasts live music performances, food, cocktails

and an outdoor dance zone. Dark Harbor’s most striking features are its three themed mazes that offer authentic scares aboard a desolate ship. The first maze “Submerged” emulates a shipwreck, the second one “Containment” takes event-goers through a mental ward, and the last maze “Hellfire,” a place inhabited by damned sailors.

the daughters of zookeepers who were said to have had nightmares so severe they were being treated for sleep disorders. The twins kept a journal chronicling their nighttime phantasms, and the Haunted Hayride plans to recreate them all. The event features a 25 minute hayride that takes riders through a heart-pumping fantasy world filled with ghouls and killer clowns, then takes audiences through a pitch-black maze filled with monsters carrying nothing but a low-voltage lantern, meaning they can’t see, but can be seen themselves. Other than these two attractions, the Haunted Hayride also offers black magic shows, psychics, and demonic stiltwalkers as side entertainment. Six Flag Magic Mountain Fright Fest Magic Mountain is converted into a macabre scare zone featuring altered rides, ghastly shows and spooky mazes. Some of the theme park’s iconic rides, such as Viper, Goliath and Riddler’s Revenge will have their lights turned off to enhance the thrill of the ride.

Fright Fest also features three new mazes, bringing its

total to eight. The first, dubbed “Cursed,” is a place with eternal moonshine populated by gypsies and werewolves out for blood. “Chupacabra,” also new, is a maze where people come face to face with the fabled cryptid, who’s haunting a local Dia de los Muertos festival. The last new maze, “The Aftermath,” is a post-apocalyptic city where the dead stalk the living.

The three new mazes include “Delirium,” where mazegoers experience their own psychotic dementia, “Invasion Beneath,” where the Calico Mine Ride becomes invaded, and “ENDGAMES: Warriors of the Apocalypse,” in which the rich take advantage of others and use them as slaves for bloodsport in an end-of-world setting.

An actor portraying a mental patient stares down the hall at her potential victims during Haunted Play's 'Delusion.'

A large crowd parties at HARD Haunted Mansion at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall during 2010's Halloween weekend.

‘Delusion’ not for the faint of heart Party the night away at HARD in L.A. Kristin Hugo Opinion Editor

“Delusion” blends together the storyline of a play and the heartpumping thrill of a haunted house. The audience is guided through an old mansion (made out to be a mental hospital) where patients with supernatural powers watch, seethe, threaten and even touch you. The story begins as audience members arrive at an old foreboding house where an insane psychiatrist and his patients live. The doctor has tried new experimental methods of therapies that instead give the patients paranormal powers coupled with their insanity, make for rather hostile hosts. Charles, the doctor’s assistant, has brought you to the house to help stop the creation of the monsters and

explains each demented potential aggressor you must pass. “I think people are digging the idea of something beyond haunted houses,” creator John Braver said. Braver hopes to do another haunted play next year at a different location. The construction of the story and the simulated insanity was only upstaged by the special effects. Spoiler Alert: One of the most tense moments of the evening is when our benign host is unwillingly pulled across the floor by nothing but the alluring voice of a siren (OK, and also a cord attached to his foot). Following this, a tall and freakish patient walks in a stilted fashion towards you before a new helper can bring us to a (temporarily) safe place. As the audience goes through the house, different actors jump out,

brandish stage knives, and even touch and breathe on you. It’s nothing inappropriate, but it helps to instill a greater level of fear. “Delusion” is possibly the most sinister and subversively terrorfilled of the entertainment you can choose from during Halloween in Los Angeles this year. The intensity of the experience is worth the purchase of a discounted ticket for a Halloween buff if you’re local, but not for those with a light wallet or for the faint of heart.

Bass and synth sounds will merge with lights and fist pumps at HARD Haunted Mansion in Downtown L.A. the weekend before Halloween. Different genres of electronic music will band together for the two-day event, which will take place at the Shrine Expo Hall on Oct. 28 - 29. FatBoy Slim, Rusko, Laidback Luke, Soulwax, Skrillex and Major Lazer are just some of the performers from around the globe that will be mixing for the crowds. Haunted Mansion is on its fourth installation, and has integrated itself as part of the Angeleno electronic music culture. “L.A. is definitely one of the largest electronic dance scenes,” said Gary Richards, founder of HARD events. “There is lot of history and roots here.” The popular event is close to being sold out. “Tickets are currently available for both days, but I can’t guarantee that for more than a day from now,” said Clayton Blaha, publicist for Richards, in an email

interview Tuesday. Individual day tickets are $75 and available to purchase through the Groove Tickets website. Attendees are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes to the event. However, certain costumes listed on the event’s website will not be allowed, such as full-face masks, LAPD uniforms and plush/ furry attire. A free downloadable mix is up on the HARD website as a preview to the music event. Check out their website at www.hardfest.com for more information on this event.

paper and paperboard, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Americans produced about 243 million tons of garbage in 2009, averaging about 4.3 pounds of waste per person per day, the EPA reported. “Just because plastic is disposable doesn’t mean it goes away,” documentary star Jeb Berrier said in the film. Liberal arts major Ivonne Lopez, 22, said the film changed her perspective on plastic consumption. “It’s amazing to see how much Americans have consumed and how our actions have indirect consequences on other living things,” she said. “Seeing the movie made me a bit sad, but it’s pushed me to take part in a positive change for the environment.” Of the 243 million tons of generated waste, 12.3 percent of it consisted of plastics. “I’m pretty disgusted with myself and with our society,” said biology major Vicki Sanchez, 25. “We’re a disgusting group of people and we need to work on decreasing the amount of

waste we produce.” The trash talk continued with a lecture titled “Toxic Trash,” presented by Michael Sullivan of the department of environmental and occupational health. Sullivan encouraged audience members to live sustainability, be mindful of the hazardous wastes they dispose, and stop discarding and start recycling. “You have the ability to break the chain and decrease the amount of waste we’re producing,” he told the audience. “Let’s start doing something today. Together we can not only keep America beautiful but also safe and sustainable.” Andy Shrader, activist and former Mar Vista community council member, added to Sullivan’s efforts by discussing the dangers of plastic waste. “Plastic bags are a problem,” he said. “They are the number one consumer product in the world, but we really don’t need them.” The Institute for Sustainability has participated in this program for four years, Cox said. “We’re working hard to make a difference and bring more issues of sustainability to the CSUN campus,” she said.

Andres Aguila daily sundial

recent Daily News article showed a day in a life, or better yet, the spur of a moment in the life, of two grand theft auto suspects and the LAPD Bait Car Unit. The two suspects both had criminal records for theft, and one was on probation. They were arrested on suspicion of grand theft auto, and on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine pipes. It’s no surprise which party had the better day. The suspects fell for the bait and tried to steal a decoy car planted in the San Fernando Valley. The decoy car was left alone with the door open, key in the ignition, laptop in the front seat and the driver leaving with someone else -- a criminal’s dream. But are these bait cars just an easy way out for police, or are they a great way to get criminals off the streets? For some reason, I can’t join the side of the bait car units just yet. Yes, I’m

glad there have been 112 arrests this year, and that 75 percent of the suspects are career criminals, but I still feel bait car units are too similar to birdwatchers who go to their backyard to spot rare birds, instead of going to where rare birds might actually be. These bait car units have their cars ready to go. According to the California penal code, any stolen car valued over $65,000 is an automatic GTA felony charge and carries a minimum of one year in prison. So even if the person who would probably never have stolen car if they didn’t see a perfect opportunity, they may end up with a year in prison. But the part I don’t like is the flashy show and tactics bait car units use, like leaving the vehicles in areas where there is a high rate of vehicle theft. I have never seen a person leave their car with the keys in the ignition, windows down and door open for anyone to vandalize or steal. Still, what the police are doing with this bait car is not considered entrapment. “Entrapment is the con-

ception and planning of an offense by an officer and his procurement of its commission by one who would not have perpetrated it except for the trickery, persuasion or fraud of the officer,” according to the 1956 California case People vs. West. “Persuasion or allurement must be used to entrap.” Those who are dumb enough to fall for a decoy car and then fight their case in court will surely lose. Police use the Court TV show “Bait Cars,” which has been on-air since 2007, and a website called Baitcar.com, where visitors can watch videos of bait cars in action, as if advertising to show there are trap cars out there in the streets. This advertising may have worked against police in Gilbert, Ariz., where teenagers allegedly set fire to a decoy car that had been left with the windows rolled down and doors unlocked. The teens stole items from the car, and one threw fireworks inside it after realizing it was a trap car. But what about the people who contribute to the

number of stolen vehicles per year in California, and consider it a skill and a profession to steal cars? Many might agree they can probably spot a trap car from a mile away. Aren’t they the ones who police are in fact trying to get off the streets? It seems to me that police are just waiting to get lucky with someone who has a long record or possibly a warrant for an arrest. They are the birdwatchers that wish and hope for a rare bird to miraculously show up in their backyard with a bird feeder and a nice fountain. But the only birds that keep showing up seem to be pigeons.

CSUN has chance to clinch second seed at UCR Christina Azouz Daily sundial

ith first place out of reach, the CSUN women’s soccer team looks to secure second place in the Big West Conference with a win at UC Riverside tonight. After a 4-0 loss to UC Irvine Sunday night, the Matadors (6-8-2, 4-2-1 Big West) are three points behind the Anteaters for first place in the conference with only one game remaining. "It's one game,” said CSUN assistant coach Miguel Ruiz. “We’ve got to come out and win (tonight) and hopefully we get a (good) result there, and get into the conference (tournament) and hopefully see them (Irvine) again and have a better game." Matadors could lock up the second seed in the conference with a win tonight. CSUN is tied with UC Davis with 13 points and holds the tiebreaker after defeating the Aggies earlier this season. The Matadors have won their last two meetings against the Highlanders (7-8-2, 2-3-1), who have lost their last three games. Sophomore forward Andrea Morales leads the Highlanders

with four goals. Right behind her is senior defender/midfielder Kayde Hensley with three. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Sara Slaughter is first in the conference with a .878 save percentage and averages six saves per game. Matadors senior forward Heidi Farran has seven goals, including two game-winners. Farran is tied for first in the Big West Conference in gamewinning goals and is second in conference goals with four. Even though Farran is not an official team captain, she has been one of the leaders for CSUN the entire season. The senior is tied for sixth place with Susie Mischenko for most goals in CSUN history. Farran is also tied for ninth in all-time points with 27. Joining Farran in the CSUN record books is junior goalkeeper Cynthia Jacobo. Jacobo is seven wins away from tying

Jenny Willemse for most wins in school history. Jacobo is second in career shutouts with 16 and fourth in career saves with 164. This season, Jacobo has saved 51 shots and recorded four shutouts. Her save percentage, .784, is fourth best in the conference. Three of Jacobo’s shutouts have come against conference opponents, with the most recent coming against Cal State Fullerton last Thursday. "We just got to win (tonight),” Ruiz said. “That's the bottom line. We got to win." Other notable games that will be played this weekend: UC Davis vs. Long Beach State Friday, UC Davis vs. Cal State Fullerton Sunday afternoon and UC Riverside vs. UC Irvine the same day. CSUN’s last home game will be Sunday against nonconference opponent Cal State Bakersfield.

A tale of two zeroes

CSUN and UC Irvine unable to score in defensive battle

Anthony Carpio Daily Sundial

Andres Aguila / Daily Sundial

The Matadors have been shutout by UC Irvine twice this season.

or only the third time this season, the CSUN men's soccer team was held scoreless and on two occasions it came at the hands of UC Irvine. After 110 minutes of gameplay, CSUN and No. 4 UCI could not find the back of the net and the match ended in a 0-0 tie Wednesday night at Matador Soccer Field. “I’m just happy we didn’t lose because we’ve been losing the last overtime (games),” said defender and co-captain Joe Franco, whose team earned its second tie of the season and broke a two-game losing streak in Big West play. “We stayed focused and didn’t give away a goal." With the Matadors (7-7-2, 3-3-1 Big West) losing to the Anteaters (13-4-1, 5-2-1) 2-0 in their first meeting on Oct. 8, Franco is glad to see a tie rather than another loss in the Big West Conference. The draw earned CSUN one point in the Big West standings and kept them in fourth place with 10 points. Irvine, who came into the match tied with UC Davis, took sole position of first place with 16 points. The last tie for the Matadors came on Sept. 15 when the match between

CSUN and Cal State Bakersfield ended at 2-2. It was a display of defense from both teams in the first half. The Anteaters produced seven shots, with three on goal. The Matadors were only able to tally three shots with one on goal. UCI shared the shooting opportunities, with all seven shots coming from different players. Both goalkeepers were able to save all shots that were on goal in the first, with CSUN goalkeeper Michael Abalos coming up with three saves, and Irvine’s Andrew Fontein with one. The foul count was relatively low, compared to the first meeting between the teams. Foul count in the first half was four, with three to the Matadors and one to the Anteaters. It was more of the same in the second half, with both clubs not finding a goal. UCI tallied nine more shots and Northridge tacked on 11 more to its stats. CSUN was only able to find one more shot on goal, while the Anteaters found three more. Matador forward Brian Behrad came close to finding the back of the net after attempting a bicycle kick. The kick connected, but he couldn’t finish the goal. “I actually lost it in the light. I couldn’t even find the ball,” Behrad said. “I just swung my leg, hoping that I would get it. I’ve only scored once with a bicycle. It’s a great feel-

ing.” It became clear that as the game rolled along, CSUN and UCI’s defenses were on top of its games. “Tonight I thought we fought well, but for whatever reason we just couldn’t put the ball away,” midfielder and co-captain Rafael Garcia said. “But I thought we had our opportunities. I thought the defense did a tremendous job getting a shutout at home. I’ll take a shutout any day.” According to assistant coach Peter Bomar, what the team needed to do to get the win was to finish. “We had a couple opportunities, that, from where we were sitting, probably just missed the post by a couple of inches. Could have been more, could have been less,” he said. “The start of the second half, we came out and really took it to them, and in those situations is where you want to score.” With CSUN finishing the match with 17 shots, Garcia believes the team could do nothing else to find the victory. “Unfortunately for us, it didn’t come with a (win),” he said. “We’ll keep grinding. We still have a lot of games left, and we’re in a good position. We hold our future in our hands right now.” The Matadors play again Saturday night at home, with another rematch against Cal Poly.

Matadors' winning streak to face road tests Alonso Tacanga Sports editor

oming off two consecutive home wins against UC Irvine Oct. 15 and UC Riverside Saturday, CSUN head coach Jeff Stork has seen enough offensive improvements from the Matadors (10-10, 4-4 Big West) to like their chances going into Cal State Fullerton (9-12, 4-5) and Long Beach State (14-6, 8-2) this weekend. “We’re playing pretty well right now,” Stork said. However, even as well as the Matadors are playing, the task of taking down both the defending Big West Conference champion Titans and the current league-leading 49ers is tall. Stork is trying to keep both feet on the ground. “Our intent is to go 2-0 over the weekend, and if we can’t get that, we’ll take 1-1,” he said. The Titans will be up first for CSUN Friday. The Matadors already defeated Fullerton once this season, 3-0, on Oct. 1 at the Matadome. It was CSUN’s biggest win of the year. Granted, this year’s Fullerton team is not exactly on

@ Friday 7 p.m. the 2010 team’s 26-win pace. After starting conference play with three consecutive wins, the Titans have lost five of their last six games to drop into a tie for sixth place with UC Davis in the Big West standings. But Stork still sees them as a quality team. “The fact that they’ve gone (1-5) in their last six matches, I don’t think it’s an indication of what happens this weekend for them,” he said. “Like every team in the Big West, at home they’re dangerous. They’re the defending champions.” If their championship pedigree isn’t enough, they still have some pieces left from their 2010 championship squad; none more important than outside hitter Kayla Neto, the conference’s No. 2 kills-per-set leader at 3.96. CSUN “contained” Neto the

@ Saturday 7 p.m. first time around, only allowing nine kills from the junior. This time, the Matadors once again have a strategy ready for Neto and friends. “We want to focus on tough serving to get them out of system,” CSUN defensive specialist Monica McFarland said, “That will hopefully shut down their hitters.” The Matadors know that while Titan Gym is a tough site to win at, it’ll give them their best shot at a victory. Long Beach State, the team they face Saturday, is the conference’s best-hitting team percentagewise and also the best defensive squad. The 49ers’ opposition is hitting a Big West-low .158 for the season. Led by outside hitter Caitlin Ledoux and 6-foot-6 middle blocker Haleigh Hampton, the

Andres Aguila / Daily Sundial

The Matadors go on the road to face Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton.

49ers are also currently riding a six-game winning streak. “We’ve got to establish a strong block and we need to be scrappy on defense and go all out,” McFarland said. “We have nothing to lose. We got to bring our ‘A’ game.” CSUN needs to keep winning to get out of the middle of

the pack in the Big West. There are five other teams that are within half a game of the Matadors while Long Beach State sits comfortably on top. Two tough places to try to continue their winning streak at, but Stork is a believer. “We’ve played well of late and the players understand that

and their confidence is building,” he said. “Whatever happens in any set is going to happen. We just have to be good in three of them.” McFarland seconded that. “At least a split is our definite goal, but I think we can take both teams and get 2-0,” she said.
