The 1995 national champion baseball team, nicknamed “the greatest show on dirt,” was inducted into the Titan Athletics Hall of Fame on Friday. Soccer standout Mark Fox, trailblazing basketball coach Bobby Dye and inspirational gymnast Carol Johnston rounded out the 2013 Hall of Fame class. Jose Mota, a Cal State Ful-
lerton alumnus and current Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim broadcaster, served as the master of ceremonies. The event started off with a video montage of the inductees in their playing days which brought about smiles and roars of applause from the crowd. The applause was heard loud and often throughout the memorable night that will live forever in Fullerton history. The 1995 Baseball Team The ‘95 baseball team is the first team to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame, as they broke records in a program that already has a prolific history. In what was supposed to be a rebuild-
ing year, the team achieved a record setting 57-9 mark that still stands as the most wins in school history. They also became the first No. 1 seed to win the national title. “(The baseball team is) one of the best teams I’ve ever coached from the standpoint of being unselfish and totally about each other and becoming one as a unit,” said Auggie Garrido, head coach of the ‘95 team. The Golden Spikes Award winner, current major leaguer and former outfielder on the ‘95 team Mark Kotsay was unable to attend the ceremony, but was represented by his parents.

Endeavour Fest celebrates shuttle Endeavour carried CSUF alumna Tracy Caldwell Dyson to space station KYMBERLIE ESTRADA Daily Titan
It took three nights and three days, over the span of 68 hours, to transport and maneuver a 150,000-pound spacefaring national treasure through 12 miles of urban, populated streets. One year and 2.7 million guests later, Endeavour Fest commemorated the one year anniversary of the Space
Shuttle Endeavour’s historic journey through downtown Los Angeles and retirement to the California Science Center. During the celebration, visitors had the opportunity to meet astronauts and listen to their presentations, as well as learn about the plans for Endeavour’s permanent home in the Science Center’s Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. The center is making progress on the design of the exhibit, said Jeffrey Rudolph, President and CEO of the California Science Center. A team of architects and engineers are taking on the

complex task of lifting the 122-foot spacecraft into a vertical position along with its gigantic external tank and twin solid rocket boosters, Rudolph said. “We’re doing it with weathered conditions,” he said. “We don’t have the protection of a big building.” The “big building” Rudolph mentioned is the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where the orbiter was originally assembled. The 526-foot tall building is the largest singlestory building in the world and was specifically built for vertically assembling spacecrafts. Lynda Oschin, chair of the Oschin Family Foundation, said the Endeavour will finally be in vertical launch position by 2018. “It’ll be difficult. The move was probably easier from LAX to here ... It’s very tall. It’s a 20-story building,” Oschin said. SEE SHUTTLE, 2

Silva was selected as a first team AllAmerican but credits the players around him for his impressive stats. “We were in it together, it wasn’t about records,” Silva said. “It was about showing up each and every day and practicing, getting after it and competing and we ended up having a pretty good season.” SEE HALL OF FAME, 7
The ancient remains of mammoths and sharks were on display Saturday during Prehistoric OC, a highlight of some of the early fossils found in Orange County. The John D. Cooper Archaeological and Paleontological Center teamed up with OC Parks and Cal State Fullerton to put on the event. Monstrous fossils filled the entire main room of the museum, lined the walls and scraped the ceiling, encased in large glass boxes that held descriptions of each animal, how they began life and how they became extinct, if needed. “We’ve got a load of activities for families,” Lisa Babilonia, a paleontologist at the Clark Museum, said. “The museum here is a County of Orange facility; it spotlights the fossils that are found here in Orange County.” Some of these animals included the imperial mammoth, which was one of the largest
species of mammals found in the world, with just their tusks alone ranging from 15-17 feet in length. These mammoths migrated from Asia to North America across the Bering land bridge, which is how they managed to travel into Orange County. The megalodon shark was such a large animal that only the jaw was on display. Nearly 7 feet high, the massive mouth contained five rows of 276 teeth up to seven inches in length. Viewers got a grasp of what it was like to live in Orange County in the prehistoric era. There was also a comparison of the horse fossils found thousands of years ago to modern horses. In another room, glass encased a fossil exhibit titled “A Whale of a Tale.” This fossil was true to its name, and featured a wall which was the length and size of a whale’s tail. Along with the fossils, volunteers and interns were also there to help bring to life the bones of the animals on display. These passionate helpers were experts on the fossils and some of them even helped unearth the fossils. SEE FOSSILS, 3

The Cal State Fullerton’s men’s soccer team continued their Big West Conference hot streak, shutting out Sacramento State 2-0 yesterday. The win puts the Titans in a first place tie for the Big West
South Division. Not since the 2000 season have the Titans shut out three straight conference opponents, as they improve their overall record to 6-6-0 and 3-1 in conference play. Sacramento State continues their losing stretch as they fall to an overall 2-7-3, 0-4 in the conference. First-half goals by junior midfielder Garrett Losee and sophomore forward Dyllan Stevens put the Titans ahead, while the staunchy Titans defense and
senior goalkeeper Bryan Escalante sealed the shutout. Eighth year head coach Bob Ammann was pleased with the Titan victory at home, especially coming off a home victory on Friday. “The concern coming in is always energy level after a big game Friday night. That was the real importance coming in. Our energy level was good,” Ammann said. SEE SOCCER, 8

The Endeavour is currently displayed horizontally in its temporary home in the Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Pavilion. The interim hangar gives visitors an up-close look on the orbiter’s various parts such as its fuel cell, main engine and the SPACEHAB and the shuttle’s payload bay, where cargo is stored. The Pavilion also previews a 3-D model and diagram of the Endeavour’s planned permanent home, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, named after the late Los Angeles entrepreneur and philanthropist. “(Samuel Oschin) loved astronomy, children, math, science, education and engineering,” Lynda Oschin said. Samuel’s “legacy” can be found throughout the museum’s educational programs and operations as there is a profound mission to inspire children to grow an interest in math, sciences and engineering.
“I think the hands-on approach the California Science Center has is perfect because it opens kids’ eyes,” said Daniel Bursch, a former NASA astronaut who flew twice aboard the Endeavour and completed four missions on the International Space Station. “(Endeavour’s) a symbol of what our country has and can achieve,” Bursch said. The Endeavour has also carried Cal State Fullerton alumna Tracy Caldwell Dyson, Ph.D., during mission STS-118. Caldwell competed in track at CSUF and graduated with a degree in chemistry in 1987. The event also premiered the 20-minute documentary, Three Nights, Three Days, which follows the Endeavour’s 2 mph expedition from LAX to the Science Center. The documentary goes behind the scenes of the elaborate plan, which required 400 trees to be chopped down and power lines to be moved, as the orbital maneuvered, nudged and squeezed its way through Los Angeles neighborhoods. The 12-mile move gathered the city’s community as they witnessed a piece of history that com-

The Patrons of the Pollak Library hosted bestselling author Gregory Benford, Ph.D., Saturday to discuss his passion for science fiction writing and his award winning novels at Cal State Fullerton. Benford is a professor emeritus of physics and astronomy from UC Irvine. A recipient of two Nebula awards, he has written over 100 articles in the field of physics, and has served as an advisor to the Department of Energy for NASA and the White House Council on Space Policy. The son of an army officer in occupied Germany, Benford became a science fiction fan at an early age. He and his identical twin brother James cofounded a fan zine in 1955 at the age of 15. In 1964, Benford stumbled across an ad in the Magazine
of Fantasy and Science Fiction announcing a writing contest during his second year of graduate school. The challenge was to write a short story about a unicorn and a univac, “under the theory that with such a tight constraint, there are probably only one or two decent stories that could be written.” Benford won the contest and published his first story, “Stand-In,” in 1965. He went on to earn a Ph.D. from UC San Diego in 1967. Benford combined his experience in physics and lifelong passion for science fiction to pen over 20 novels in the field and over 100 short stories. “One of the great things about science is the seeking of the new,” Benford said. “And so, it’s the potential of finding something new about the universe that I think motivates most scientists, and certainly that’s true to me.” His most recent novel, a sequel to his previous work Bowl of Heaven, will be released in April. The Pollak Library’s Patrons
Lecture Series hosts three speakers each year—one in the fall and one in the spring, as well as a featured speaker at their annual end-of-term spring meeting.
“It’s the potential of finding something new about the universe that I think motivates most scientists...” Gregory Benford Author
Chair of the Activities Committee Howard Seller, Ph.D., said the theme of the Patrons’ meetings emerge from the research or book the speaker has written. The speakers are either people who have written a book or have made some kind
of contribution to our culture, Seller said. “Part of our purpose really is to sort of enhance the intellectual mind of the university and whenever possible to provide speakers, themes that would be of interest to the students,” Seller said. Joanne Gass, Ph.D., a member of the Patrons governing board, introduced Benford to the committee. “She had known him at UC Irvine casually, thought he was interesting speaker who had this rather impressive background as a scientist and writer so we invited him and he came,” Seller said. Gass, an emeritus professor of english and comparative literature at CSUF was pleased with Benford’s presentation. “He’s a very famous science fiction writer, very well known scientist, and so yes, it was my suggestion,” Gass said. “And thank god he turned out well.” The next speaker will be Mike Norton, an english professor at CSUF. He will discuss happiness in literature in the 18th century in March.

DTBRIEFS Man killed in crash named VINCENT LA ROSA
The driver who died last Thursday after driving into oncoming traffic in Fullerton has been identified by the coroner’s office, according to the Orange County Register. Police say Adrian Davis, 57, of Brea was driving his yellow pickup northbound down Harbor Boulevard when he crossed the double yellow lines near Bastanchury Road, causing an eight-car accident at the intersection of Harbor and Valencia Mesa Drive. Davis died at the scene of the crash, while five passengers from vehicles involved were taken to local hospitals, according to the Los Angeles Times. Their injuries are unknown. “It looks like the cars were sitting at a red light and he plowed right into them,” Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart told the Times. Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the crash. Davis was six days short of his 58th birthday, according to the Register.
Two dead in car collision SARA HIATT
Two people were pronounced dead at the scene of a car accident in Dana Point on Sunday, according to the Orange County Register. The four-car collision happened about half a mile south of the intersection at Palisades Drive on the Pacific Coast Highway around 1 p.m. The two people killed in the accident were identified only as a 32-year-old woman and a 43-year-old man driving a white Volkswagen. Four people were injured in the accident, including two males and two females. Three of those injured were transported to the Mission Regional Trauma Center in Mission Viejo. The fourth person injured was a 15-year-old student driver who declined to be transported to the hospital. Capt. Steve Concialdi from the Orange County Fire Authority said the student driver, who was with an instructor at the time of the accident, was not at fault. The PCH was closed for several hours following the accident.

Nguyen, who changed his name to Hasan Abu Omar Ghannoum after converting to Islam, pleaded not guilty. Nguyen was taken into custody by FBI agents Friday morning while attempting to board a bus in Santa Ana headed to Mexico using a passport under the name Ghannoum. He possesses a state firearms license normally issued to individuals working as armed guards, the OC Register reported. Nguyen is being held in custody by the Santa Ana court on grounds of danger and f light until his next court date on Oct. 18.

Daily Titan
Appropriately following the pair of Nobel Prizes awarded to physicists last week, Dennis Silverman, Ph.D., presented “The World of Higgs” on Thursday at Cal State Fullerton. The once missing gap in particle physics, the longspeculated Higgs boson particle was recognized last year by the the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) when its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recorded a deviation in its data. The fundamental particle is the concluding piece to the advancement of the Standard Model of particle physics. “The misconception might be that it completes everything,” Silverman said. “It just opens the door for the need to discover more particles.” The discovery finally broke down the door that barred physicists to discover the new physics that justify how the particle and its vast field exist. Once the particle’s existence was recorded, an entirely new world opened. In the past, high-energy physicists have engineered new statistical methods and multiprocessing computers, said Silverman. The X-ray we see in hospitals today is a result of high-energy physics. At 600 million collisions per second in ATLAS, one of the many impact detectors in the collider, over a hundred thousand terabytes of
energy exchanges are kept, around 200 events per second. The overall data collected by CERN amounts to over 25 petabytes, or 25 million gigabytes. The Large Hadron Collider—a machine with a circumference of 17 miles which cost $5 billion to build and $1 billion a year to operate, according to Forbes—is located underground at the FrancoSwiss border and holds the title as the largest particle collider the earth has to offer. The United States’ involvement in the LHC is critical, said Silverman. One-third of the physicists working on the project are from the U.S. Coming from 96 American universities and labs in 33 states, the U.S. delivered about $165 million to each detector. A significant portion of the detectors were built in the country, funding many technology-related American jobs. However, due to the recent federal government shutdown, travel from labs to meetings where physicists trade results and ideas has halted, Silverman said. With 98.5 percent of the National Science Foundation currently inactive, no new proposals will be reviewed for federally funded research grants and those currently in existence will expire in due time. Universities plan to pick up the hanging tab and absorb the free agents until the governmental gears are back in service. “Students and graduate

students and postdocs worry about their future,” Silverman said. “Hopefully it will end soon.” Despite the existing political setback, CERN will continue with its plan to run the LHC until 2022, generating presumably 10 times as many collisions as they have seen so far. The LHC will also increase its colliding energy, which will likely create more than 10 times as many Higgs appearances and hopefully the appearance of new particles.
By the year 2024, consideration will shift to the High Luminosity LHC, a collider with upgraded detectors that capture events at five-times the current rate. This will run for 10 years and generate 100 times more events than at present. The theory is that this upgrade will reveal observable and measurable couplings of the particles in its natural field. Within the past century, subatomic physics has probed deeper and deeper into the
composition of the universe, and the unprecedented discovery of the Higgs boson has yet to truly reveal its potential. Silverman occasionally teaches on energy productions and particle physics and he currently writes about energy production and its affect on climate change. He is an active member of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), a learning community associated with CSUF and the Ruby Gerontology Center.

Rick Spitzer worked as an intern at the John D. Cooper Center for one year, then stayed on as a volunteer. During his internship, he worked with a team to dig up a whale vertebra. It took a week and a half to unearth the entirety of the fossil. “That was fun, (a) very tedious process you need to have a lot of patience. But once you reach the end, and you have a whole discovery (and) you’re the first person to see what you uncovered, it’s a really amazing experience.” Another volunteer, Tara Redinger, was a newcomer to the event. “The people are great … everyone is so friendly,” Redinger said. “You (are) just constantly learning stuff, about the animals, about the sediments.” Along with the volunteers and the fossils, a small room in the corner held an event that caught a lot of viewer attention. Jurassic Park enthusiasts, calling themselves “Jurassic Con,” surrounded the doorway, not able to fit as many people as they wanted inside. The room was small but effective, with many artifacts from the films and a small screen where the film was being played. The event highlighted life that most people did not know existed in Orange County in the prehistoric era. The county, which was once home to ocean and lush landscapes, is now facing times of climate change and extinctions. However, in these changing times, the event was held to showcase the early life in Orange County, including the early fossils found and how different the county used to be.

I-Day brings students and professionals together to explore insurance industry BRYAN CIFUENTES For the Daily Titan
Cal State Fullerton students were exposed to the rapidly inflating insurance industry on Thursday at the fifth annual Insurance Day. Organized by Weili Lu, Ph.D., director of the Center for Insurance Studies (CIS), 26 insurance companies including Anthem Blue Cross, Automobile Association of America and Travelers Insurance gathered around the perimeter of the courtyard of Steven G. Mihaylo Hall. “We’re looking for quality people and I think we can find that at Cal State Fullerton,” said Abdelhamed Sadik, account executive for Travelers Insurance. “Fullerton is definitely a fun school for us, we have a lot of our employees come from here.” The insurance companies also provided students with an
opportunity to apply for internships and network with top industry professionals. “We want to prepare them with the skills and let them get to know the industry,” said finance professor Xiaoying Xie, Ph.D., a member of CIS who helped organize the event. With the current generation of employees ready to retire, insurance companies are reaching out to find the next great generation of employees, Xie said. Executives also took time to visit numerous finance, accounting, and other business classes throughout campus. CIS student volunteers gave away cotton candy to anyone who filled out a survey about Obamacare and raffled off prizes for the students who met with at least five of the companies present. “People have already won gift cards for Jamba Juice and two tickets to the Indy 500,” Woaria Rashid, student volunteer, said. I-Day, as members from CIS have grown to label it, shed light on an up and coming industry.
Sadik said insurance companies are opening doors no matter what degree graduates have, making themselves more accessible to everyone. “Insurance is really interesting because people go to different places ... and Travelers pro-
vides a place to go to become a leader in whatever field you’re interested in,” Sadik said. I-Day has grown since the first event in 2009, and it continues to ensure its own place as a valuable resource for the industry.

Fumbling for change It is time for sports teams to move forward and put an end to racist names ADRIAN GARCIA Daily Titan
Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder once again fumbled away the opportunity to ease the controversy and highly publicized debate regarding his team’s name. The term “redskins” was once used as a racial slur for Native Americans, but now is used by the Washington D.C. NFL team to honor the bravery and loyalty of the aforementioned group. Snyder has been publicly criticized by numerous Native American groups who have taken to the media to express their concern with the highly offensive name. However, despite the opposition, the owner refuses to change the team’s name. With his stubborn personality, the NFL or other interest groups have to step in to pressure Snyder into changing his team’s nickname that reminds
a large group of individuals of years of abuse. The Washington Redskins are one of the most prominent teams in the NFL, with Forbes ranking them as the third most valuable franchise in the entire league. As a franchise with such a tradition of success, they have been able to set a new definition for the word “redskin.” In an open letter to the team’s season ticket holders, Snyder said the name cannot ignore the 81 year history of the franchise and the fans. The team has shined a new light on the once racial slur for Native Americans and brought a sense of unity and pride to fans. The Annenberg Public Policy Center polled approximately 1,000 Native Americans and found that roughly 90 percent of them did not take offense from the team’s nickname. In fact, some Native American groups said if the team does change their nickname, it could lead to the complete wipeout of Native American identity from society. Although Snyder has the
support of a few Native American groups, he has to see the bigger picture. Just because a small group of individuals is supportive, doesn’t mean that it is correct for a team to use a racial slur as its nickname. President Obama recently voiced his opposition to the nickname, despite its history. “If I were the owner of the team and I knew that there was a name of my team—even if it had a storied history—that was offending a sizable group of people, I’d think about changing it,” Obama said. Whether it is ten people getting offended or a hundred people getting offended, a professional sports team with that big of an inf luence should stray away from any questionable names. Snyder and team officials should be considerate of others, instead of focusing on their own agenda. By refusing to acknowledge the racial implications of the team’s nickname has, it shows the insensitivity of those in charge. If their name was a racial slur for African-Americans or
other minorities, for example, the public would be at their boiling point, shouting and protesting the team. The National Congress of American Indians published a poster a few years ago showing the indecency of the Cleveland Indians baseball cap and nickname by pairing it with stereotypical racist images for two fake teams, the New York Jews and the San Francisco Chinamen. This poster has now come into the public eye to demonstrate to Snyder the negative impact that the Redskins image carries. The poster shows the double standard between Native American mascots and other racially charged epithets. If it isn’t okay to portray other nationalities in a racist manner, then what makes it okay for Native Americans to be portrayed in such a stereotypical way? The Redskins’ offense is now heading into a different direction with their new star quarterback, Robert Griffin III, and the front office should follow suit by changing the team’s name.

Sports are more than a game Athletes use competition as a way to release their emotion after a tragedy ADRIAN GARCIA Daily Titan
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson recently experienced one of the biggest tragedies in a father’s life — the death of a child. Peterson’s two-year-old son died in a South Dakota hospital after he was allegedly beaten by his mother’s boyfriend. The Vikings’ star announced on Friday via a text message to
Laura Okmin of Fox Sports his intention to play this week, despite going through the tragedy. His decision to play shows that sports are more than just a game, but an escape to many athletes. Peterson is no stranger to dealing with death before a major event. In 2007, his brother died the day before the biggest job interview of his life, the NFL Combine. The Combine is a weeklong event showcasing the nation’s top collegiate football players to professional scouts. However, he decided to go through with the event and in the following months, he was

selected with the No. 7 overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings. In 2012, Torrey Smith of the Baltimore Ravens lost his brother the week before a pivotal matchup versus the New England Patriots. Smith led his team to a win after a 127-yards, two touchdown performance. Smith took to Twitter the same day as Peterson’s tragedy to voice his support. “Playing after tragedy is therapy. Staying home doesn’t change what life has thrown at you Playing in their honor is rewarding for the family,” Smith tweeted.
As a former athlete, there is no greater feeling than entering the field after a long week, and emptying my mind. With every snap, every play, I was able to drift away from the outside world and focus solely on the tasks ahead. Nothing else mattered, but leaving it all on the field to come out on top. For a brief moment, the game was all that mattered. Peterson went to therapy at the Mall of America Field in Minnesota in a loss to the Carolina Panthers, but he exited the field with something much more valuable, a brief escape from the death of his son.
George Orwell’s 1984 was meant to be a cautionary dystopian tale, not an instruction manual. America’s current mass surveillance state owes its existence to the Patriot Act, one of the most unpatriotic laws ever devised, and the National Security Administration to do its overly intrusive work. In 2013, NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked details of the NSA’s surveillance apparatus. Thanks to these revelations, it has come to be known that virtually every action taken online or on mobile phones can be tracked and is being tracked by the NSA. The NSA’s many surveillance programs, including PRISM, gives this shady government agency the ability to track and data mine email exchanges, phone calls, search engine searches and pretty much everything else done online. This lack of privacy is a real problem and should be a concern for the public. Firstly, the NSA’s domestic spying program and the Patriot Act are blatant violations of our constitutional rights. The Fourth Amendment clearly states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Americans’ constitutional rights are written in stone, not on a whiteboard. Even so, the Bush and Obama administrations have erased the public’s right to privacy. Although President Obama opposed the Patriot Act before his election, he has become its biggest champion after coming into office. Obama renewed the Patriot Act and even expanded its powers to spy on Americans. The irony and hypocrisy is overwhelming. The Patriot Act should re-
ally have been named “Repeal the Fourth Amendment Act” because essentially that’s what it does. The Patriot Act enables the NSA to conduct searches and surveillance without warrants. Conducting warrantless searches is problematic at best. The reason why warrants are so important in protecting privacy is because they administer a system of checks and balances to prevent abuses. Typically, search warrants are issued by a judge after hearing the case and probable cause for such a search. This process insures the validity of the search and is in itself an oversight measure to ensure searches are conducted in a reasonable fashion. The problem with warrantless searches is that no one is watching the watchers. Without a rigid system of monitoring and policing searches, NSA employees and civilian contractors can virtually violate anybody’s privacy either mistakenly or intentionally. As a result, the NSA has been founded to be in violation of its own privacy rules. The immense power to surveil and monitor anybody is worrisome in itself. The NSA has also found a dozen of its employees in willing violation of privacy rules. In these cases, NSA employees intentionally spied on the private lives of their love interests; how romantic. This centralization of power is what the founding fathers feared most. Americans should always remain skeptical of massive government power. The NSA and Patriot Act violate the very principles the nation was founded upon. This isn’t a Democratic or Republican issue, it is an American issue. The NSA’s record of violating privacy rules, lack of accountability, overreaching power and the Patriot Act’s warrantless searches are a danger to the American way of life and our freedoms. Due to the data released by Snowden, more and more Americans are becoming aware and critical of the NSA’s actions. Congress should reflect the privacy concerns of their constituents by either scaling back or eliminating domestic spying programs in order to ensure the protection of our constitutional right of privacy.

THE DAILY TITAN

Cal State Fullerton takes on the 1980 film, Xanadu, in a musical theatre parody with live instruments. The play opened Friday, Oct. 11 at the Little Theatre.
Disco party in togas Xanadu exaggerates ‘80s culture and Grecian gods in musical parody on skates BRIAN CHESTER Daily Titan
Cal State Fullerton’s cast of Xanadu performed their opening night in the Little Theatre on Friday, Oct. 11, delivering a delightful blend of music, comedy and disco dancing. Cal State Fullerton’s musical parody of the 1980 movie Xanadu was brought to a whole new level. It was funny, entertaining and just plain silly. Xanadu delivered a full course meal. It took pieces from the different aspects of theatre and put them all on one plate, creating a uniquely harmonious dish that left everyone satisfied. The play blends Grecian gods and goddesses into an ‘80s-inspired musical. It uses music and dance elements of the ‘80s blended with costumes and mystical powers of Greek gods.
The costumes and makeup dramatized the ‘80s culture. The eight goddesses called, the Muses, sported mismatched colorful dresses and were covered in glitter. Costumes contained bright yellows, oranges and baby blues and were complemented with Grecian style headbands and sandals. The main character Sonny, played by Keaton Williams, a musical theatre major, sported a striped tank top and mini denim shorts. His throwback surfer accent and over the top stupidity can easily be compared to Jeff Spicoli, the stoner surfer dude from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The play follows Sonny as he attempts to create a roller disco. Kira, played by Devon Hadsell, 22, a musical theatre major, is an immortal Muse who disguises herself as a 1980s roller skater with an Australian accent who comes to help Sonny. The two end up falling in love. Unfortunately, it’s a sin for any Muse to fall in love with a mortal.
Some female Muses were played by males who wore feminine vibrant togas, which added to the show’s playful demeanor. The production features the almighty Zeus, played by Spencer Micetich, 19, a musical theatre major, along with goddesses Aphrodite, Medusa and Hera, draped in white togas. Zeus wore a pair of casual sneakers, which combined ancient Greece and 1980s culture. Xanadu was anything but mysterious or discreet. Everything about the production was showy, colorful and in your face. It’s as if the jokes are being fed to the audience on a silver platter. In a scene where Kira’s two sisters are pretending to be trees, they create a playful atmosphere by clearly moving around the stage while being hidden behind a set of leaves. However, the two can obviously be spotted, but they pretend that they are not visible. At other times, a background dancer imitated another danc-
er by exaggerating their moves in a comedic fashion. Xanadu is a parody. It is over the top to the point where it is almost mocking itself. It feels like a combination of a Disney movie and South Park episode. The play embraced comedy with lines such as, “I could use a Fresca” and “Bitch, I don’t know your life.” The backdrops were simple, but effective. In the beginning, a mural of the Muses rose to reveal the actual Muses standing behind it. A rotating stage works to create the illusion that the dancers are spinning in a circle. At times, it was hard to tell whether mistakes were being made, or if the show was meant to be imperfect on purpose. It had the feeling of a mockumentary, almost like This Is Spinal Tap. It was often hard to tell what was intentional and what may have been a misstep. Xanadu is performed with live instruments. Piano, drums and keyboard instrumentalists sit to the left

of the stage and are led by musical conductor Mitchell Hanlon. The show blended pop, disco and rock that envelops the ‘80s while still creating a modern sound. Surprisingly, the show was not sold out. Xanadu interacted with the audience by asking them questions and pointing to a specific member in the crowd. There are times in the play when the cast speaks directly to the audience, eliminating the traditional barrier between the actor and the audience, which made for a welcoming, intimate environment. The choreography in Xanadu is also over the top. Certain 1980s dances such as the sprinkler, muscle man arms and the running man
were carried out in extreme exaggeration while the cast wildly waved colored streamers in the air. In addition to the dance numbers, a theatrical smoke machine blew smoke onto the stage, which left a mystical impression. The play’s dance sequences were also a way the performers communicated to the audience, through overstated gestures and facial expressions. Xanadu is quirky and fun. By the end of the production, the entire cast was on roller skates, which set up an onstage theatrical dance party under disco balls. The play concludes its run Oct. 27. Tickets are $22 for general admission and $20 with an advance Titan discount.
Reggae sextet to ‘turn up the sound’ OC-based band, 80 Proof, will perform at the Becker stage Wednesday at noon BRITTANY CURRIE Daily Titan
Students, take a breather from midterms and come relax, and “let the vibrations move through your body” with soulful jams of reggae rock. The Becker Amphitheater will set off good vibes from the Orange County based band 80 Proof this Wednesday at noon. The six-piece group consists of Evan Manriquez (lead vocals), Daniel Cooper (vocals and guitar), Joel Catello on (guitar), Alex Williamson (keys and percussion), John Ortiz (vocals and bass) and Chris Paniagua (drums). The group formed in 2004 and have managed to keep a consistent, loyal fan base. “I’m just blown away that people are standing there watching our music still. I’m still, like from back in the day from the garage, messing around and people like clap and I’m like OK, were just this is like fun for us,” Manriquez said. The band uses musical inf luences such as The Dirty Heads and The Expendables to create an eclectic, signature sound. Their latest album Turn up the Sound released in August and produced at 17th Street Recording Studio with the help of Lewis Richards, who
has worked with Sublime and The Dirty Heads. The album features 80 Proof’s single “Runnin” which has received radio play for KROQ’s Shot to Rock Competition. During the group’s debut year, their first single “Got your #” from the EP, A Life of Fire, was a runner up in the KROQ and Cabo Wabo’s 2011 Your Shot to Rock competition. This year, 80 Proof was nominated for the OC Music Awards in three categories, Best World Music Band, Best Music Video and Best Live Band.
lockout studio and practicing several times a week we really got our groove down and our writing process down and we were able to write enough to compose a full album.” Manriquez, Cooper, Catello, Ortiz and Williamson all knew each other in high school and Paniagua was introduced through friends of friends. Although the group holds similar music interests, each member uses their unique, creative styles and fuses them
into one musical collaboration. The band usually sticks around after a show to interact with fans to show appreciation for their support. 80 Proof also tries to give the audience the best show, and wants everyone to have a good time. When they’re not working and writing in the studio, they’re touring. This summer they went on an independent tour, traveling to places like Arizona, Santa
Barbara and Mammoth Lakes, while developing a bigger fan base. In early October they opened for Santa Cruz-based reggae group The Expendables at the Downtown Chandler Oktoberfest in Arizona. The band has also played local gigs at the Slide Bar, Tiki Bar, Detroit Bar, Commonwealth, The Observatory and House of Blues. Since they spend much time on the road touring, they bal-
ance it out with a game of Super Mario Bros., which can get competitive at times. “You could put a note I am the best,” Catello said. This will be the band’s second performance at CSUF. Last spring semester they performed at Associated Student Inc.’s Live at the Pub.

Bobby Dye Dye took the helm of the men’s basketball team in 1973 when they were still in Division II. In his second year, the team had moved to Division I in the Pacific Coast Athletic Association now known as the Big West Conference. During the 1977 season, he led the Titans to victories over top 10 schools such as New Mexico and the University of San Francisco in an improbable run to the NCAA West Regional final. “Tonight was really special, this was a special deal,” Dye said. “It was wonderful to see a lot of old friends and a lot of people that I knew back then that I haven’t seen in a long time.” While Dye was keeping the crowd laughing with his anecdotes, his granddaughter spontaneously strolled up to the podium and delivered a few words of her own. Fighting tears, she told her grandfather how proud she is of him in a moment that immediately melted the hearts of the sold-out audience. “That was pretty brassy on her part to even do it. Big nerve for a little girl to do what she did, I could never do that,” Dye said. Carol Johnston Born with half of her right arm, Johnston never let her disability stop her from being a successful gymnast. She helped
guide the Titans to a perfect 45-0 mark in all meets during her career that spanned from 1977-1980. Johnston has since been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Her former roommate and teammate, Julie Bowse, spoke on her behalf while Johnston welled up with tears as her best friend spoke. “I was so excited for her, she is so deserving. She just worked so hard and to do what she did with only one arm was just simply amazing,” Bowse said. “We often took her for granted, we almost forgot how spectacular and how special she was, so having her inducted in the Hall of Fame was just a reminder of that.” Mike Fox Fox’s CSUF career ended in 1982, but he is still the all-time leader in points scored for Titan soccer with 101. His 38 career goals ties him for second place on the all-time list and he has sole possession of second place in career assists with 25. “I’ve done a lot with soccer since then but to be acknowledged and recognized here at Fullerton is an extreme honor,” Fox said. “It was great to have (my old teammates’) support and see them here tonight and be part of the experience.” Fox helped the soccer program lay a foundation during a time when the school had little resources for athletics. “There was not a lot of money, so it was just guys that came together and we were always very competitive,” Fox said.

joyed getting the chance to reconnect and reminisce about their playing days at CSUF during the cocktail hour that preceded the ceremony. “To be able to shake their hands and hug their kids and look them in the eye is absolutely priceless,” Garrido said. Athletic Director Jim Donovan is very pleased with the outcome of the selection process. “All four of these, they really stood out so I guess in a sense (the selection process) was easy. When you have the cream it rises to the top and they were definitely the cream,” Donovan said.

CSUF gets iced
Ice hockey team allows 21 goals in two road games to extend losing streak ANDY LUNDIN Daily Titan
The Cal State Fullerton ice hockey team’s futility against Northern Arizona University continued this weekend as the Titans have not registered a win against the Ice Jacks since October 2010. The Titans suffered a 9-1 loss Saturday against NAU, which ended their back-to-back twogame road series in Arizona being swept by the Ice Jacks. The NAU Ice Jacks were dominant against the Titans in their first two meetings of the season, scoring a collective 21 goals throughout the course of the two matches. The Titans, on the the other hand, were unable to muster much in terms of offense in either of the outings against NAU. CSUF found the back of the net only once against NAU in both contests. NAU junior forward Ben Russell, who leads the Ice Jacks in both points and goals scored, was a force for his team’s offense this weekend. He garnered one goal and three points against Fullerton on Saturday, and earned a total of 10 points throughout the course of both games. Another prominent con-
tributor to both of the weekend games for NAU was junior forward Connor Sperry, who scored two goals during the game on Saturday. Sperry also lead the team in scoring with four points and a hat trick during their first outing against CSUF on Friday. Titan senior defenseman Payne Sauer scored the only goal for Fullerton during the game Saturday. Although his bid came late in the third period, CSUF was already down 9-0. Senior forward Taylor Castle felt that one of the factors to their loss was the fatigue they faced, having played a game at home the night before the team went on the road to face NAU. “(Fatigue) definitely takes its toll. Three games in three days, having a late game Thursday night, then hopping on the bus the next morning for a ten hour bus ride up to Arizona,” Castle said. “It was really hard for us to get the legs going, especially up in NAU with the elevation.” NAU goaltenders Scott Graupensperger and Anthony Caruso also both earned their first victories of the season during their matches against CSUF this weekend. For the season, they have 24 and 27 saves respectively. NAU players James Takacs, Dylan Blankenship and Sean McGowan also recorded their first goals of the season and their first as Ice Jacks.

The Titans found themselves in a hole early during the game Saturday, being down four goals to end the first period. NAU made the situation even worse for the Titans when they scored three more times before the end of the second period. CSUF now have a lengthy break ahead of them before their next game, giving them time to recuperate and get back to what made them start their season off so well. “(We’ll) just kind of break our game back down and kind of start over again. We know what we have to do to get back to where we want to be,” Castle said. “It was a good test, playing against a really good team like NAU and so we know how we have to prepare for the good teams and we’re going to use that break to try to get better.” The Titans will have a chance to prove themselves against NAU once more during this season when they meet again on Jan. 30. The Titans are now 4-5 on the season and are currently on a three-game losing streak. CSUF is tied with NAU for first in the West Coast Hockey Conference with two wins each but the Titans have two losses. The Titans will look to bust out of their slump in their next game on Oct. 26 at home against Chapman University. For more information on the CSUF ice hockey team, go to TitanIceHockey.com.
The Cal State Fullerton women’s golf team pulled together as a team and won the Wyoming Cowgirl Desert Intercollegiate tournament shooting 909, 45 over par this past Saturday and Sunday at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, California. The Titans’ first win of the year comes on the heels of a strong finish at the Price’s “Give ‘Em Five” Invitational in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The win came by one shot ahead of Big West rival Cal State Northridge. This is the Titans’ fifth tournament victory since the program was reinstated back in the 2009-10 season, and their fourth win in an 18-hole tournament. The 909 score is the fifth lowest by the Titans in program history. The key for the Titans in the victory was their cohesiveness in keeping all five players with relatively low scores, as they took over first place yesterday in the final round. September’s Big West Golfer of the Month, junior Tisha Alyn Abrea, ended the day leading the Titans with their lowest score shooting a 226, 10 over par, and ending in a tie for 11th place in the tournament. Junior Seri Lee and freshman Martina Edberg followed their Titan teammate shooting a 227, 11 over par and a 228, 12 over par. Lee finished tied for 13th place, while Edberg finished tied for 17th place. Junior Makayla Mier and sophomore Dakota Brown finished tied for 36th place, matching each other’s scores with a 233, 17 over par. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s Taylor Yoshitake posted the lowest score individually as she scored a 213, three under par for the tournament. Unfortunately for Yoshitake, the San Luis Obispo Mustangs finished in 14th place.
The Titans went into the 6,112 yards, par 72 tournament as the highest-ranked Division I school competing, according to the polls on GolfStat.com. In the two-day, three round intercollegiate competition, 20 teams participated, including Big West rivals UC Riverside, CSUN, Cal Poly and Hawai’i. First day action also saw great team golf by the Titans as they ended the first two rounds of play tied for second place with the University of San Francisco Dons, shooting a 28-over-par 604, three shots behind the leader Western Carolina University. Abrea shot an opening round of 77, five over par, but improved her score in the second round with a 73, one over par, shedding four shots off her score to end day one in a three way tie for 12th place at 150, six over par. Tied with Abrea for the first two rounds was fellow Titan junior Seri Lee who shot a 74, two over par, and a 76, four over par.
Also in day one action, Titan teammates Mier and Edberg finished in an 11-way tie for 27th place at 154, 10 over par, while Brown finished in a fourway tie for 38th place with a 155, 11 over par. Sunday was where the Titans pulled away and took first place, whereas day one leader San Francisco couldn’t hold on to the leaderboard shooting a 913, 49 over par. Also in the hunt on Sunday was Western Carolina, who also shot a 913 and finished tied with San Francisco for fourth place. Hawaii and UCR, fellow Big West teams, wound up finishing in sixth and seventh place. Next for the Titans is a tournament break for four months until they compete in the spring on Feb. 17 at the Jim West Challenge. They will travel to Bandit Golf Course in New Braunfels, Texas.

THE DAILY TITAN SOCCER
Continued from PAGE 1
Coming into last night’s home game, the Titans were looking to keep their winning streak alive against the struggling Hornets, who had lost three conference matches in a row, outscored by opponents six to one. Approaching the California showdown on Sunday, the Titans were on a roll leading up to the match, winning the last two conference games by one goal in each, including the victory Friday over UC Davis 1-0. The Titans virtually controlled the game from the getgo outshooting the Hornets eight to five and kicking five corner kicks to the Hornets three. Escalante faced virtually no threat in the first half with no shots on goal by the Hornets. The Titans drew first blood
25 minutes into the first half when Losee scored on a header from junior midfielder Spencer Johnson’s corner kick. Losee’s second goal of the year came inside the box among heavy traffic and snuck inside the front post past Hornet goalkeeper Teddy Sampson, a redshirt freshman. “Spencer whipped in a good ball and I was able to get my head on it,” said Losee on his first-half goal. Four minutes later, the Titans capitalized on another offensive opportunity after a def lected volley when Stevens blasted a shot about 20 yards out past Sampson’s outstretched arms. Junior midfielder Ian Ramos assisted Stevens’ first goal of the year. “It was played out wide and it circulated, I got a pass crossing the middle, I took a touch and just hit it,” Stevens said right before his Titan team-
mates drenched him in chocolate milk as celebration for his first goal of the season. The second half was practically in the Titans’ control, as they matched the Hornets in shots with six and took four corner kicks to the Hornets’ three. The Hornets put the pressure on the Titans in the final 20 minutes of the match and got two dangerous scoring chances. The first came with a lob inside the box and was almost headed in by Hornet senior midfielder Almag Strikowski, and the second came when junior defender Mason McCann nearly put in a def lected shot inside the box. This is Escalante’s third straight shutout, and he credits his Titan teammates for their support on defense and cohesiveness. “We’ve been playing great defense, my defenders have
been doing the job well back there and we’re just doing the little things that we need to do,” Escalante said. Escalante finished the night with two saves while Sampson stopped four shots. Next for the Titans is a Saturday night Big West showdown versus cross-county rival UC Irvine. All fans in attendance will be given thunder sticks to bring the noise and support for their men’s soccer team as they try to extend their winning streak and pull away in the conference standings. The UCI Anteaters are coming off a 1-1 tie with UC Santa Barbara at home. The Hornets continue their Big West play by heading back north to take on Cal Poly SLO at home.

Soccer suffers first defeat CSUF has their unbeaten conference record snapped by UC Riverside VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan
The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team gave up a goal just minutes into their match with Big West frontrunners UC Riverside and were unable to recover, losing 1-0 to the Highlanders in Riverside. The loss snaps a run of five matches unbeaten for the Titans. Coming into the match as the conference’s only unbeaten side at 1-0-1, the Titans missed an opportunity to take sole possession of first place from the Highlanders after UCR, previously unbeaten in Big West play, had lost their away contest with UC Irvine on Friday. With just over three minutes gone in the match, the Titans found themselves in an uphill battle after a former goalkeeper netted a goal for the Highlanders’ on their first attempt on goal. Junior forward Jessica Olafsen, originally recruited to play between the posts for UCR found the net in the fourth minute via an assist from freshman defender Kelly Velasquez. Sending her cross from the left corner, Velasquez found Olafsen at the center of the Titan box for the match’s lone goal. As the first goal in Olafsen’s career, the game-winner was the junior’s first contribution to the UCR team since appearing in 11 matches in goal for the Highlanders back in 2011. The shot was Olafsen’s only of the contest.
The Highlanders ended the match with five shots on goal and a slight edge in corner kicks 4-3 over CSUF. For the Titans, the 1-0 loss was a microcosm of the team’s struggles this season, as CSUF forwards continue to shoot blanks in front of the net. Outshooting the Highlanders 10-7 in the match, the Titans were shutout for the fifth time this season. In spite of their 6-4-4 overall record, the Titans are 0-3-2 in matches they fail to score in. With just 13 goals for the season, CSUF now ranks thirdworst in the Big West Conference offensively. Senior Titan forward Nikki McCants and junior midfielder Chelsey Patterson managed to register three shots apiece to lead CSUF, but were unable to get
anything past UCR goalkeeper Elizabeth Silas, who finished with seven saves in the match. The Titans also failed to capitalize on set pieces despite winning a match-high nine fouls to the Highlanders’ five fouls won. The Highlanders were shown the match’s only yellow card when sophomore defender Alina Cheatham was cautioned in the 77th minute. Defensively, despite giving up the match’s only goal, the Titans remained the Big West’s toughest team to score on; they surrendered just 11 goals to opponents in 2013. Facing five attempts on her goal, Titan senior goalkeeper Lindsey Maricic again had a strong match, turning away four shots. The Titan goalkeeper continues to climb in the CSUF record
books, as her 73 saves this season places her at seventh all-time for saves in a single season. With the Titans now 1-1-1 in Big West play, last year’s regular season champs are middle of the Big West pack with just four points from their three matches. With their victory over CSUF, the Highlanders sit top of the Big West standings alongside UCI; they have nine points each. Next up for the Titans is another road contest in conference as they travel north to take on the Mustangs of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Oct. 18. The women of CSUF return to Titan Stadium two days later when they face UC Santa Barbara on Oct. 20.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team traveled to Riverside to face the Highlanders, and they wasted no time by sweeping them in three sets. The Titans made quick work of UC Riverside at SRC Arena to improve their record to 9-7 overall. Their Big West record stands at 2-2. The Highlanders’ record fell to a dismal 1-15, and they remain winless in conference play with an 0-4 record. CSUF swept the Highlanders with scores of 25-15, 26-24 and 25-20. They posted a .235 hitting percentage while holding Riverside to a .181 hitting percentage. The first set determined the tone of the game as the Titans won it handily 25-15. Although it started out close, CSUF pulled away from a 6-6 tie with five consecutive points and never looked back. CSUF’s 5-0 run was gifted by five consecutive attack errors by Riverside, three of which were caused by sophomore outside hitter Ashley Cox. The other two were committed by junior middle blocker Tyler Dorsey. The Highlanders didn’t roll over as easily in the second set and challenged the Titans to the end. The Titans were in danger of losing the set but came back to win by the final score of 26-24. Riverside threatened with a 14-10 lead after the set initially went back and forth. After the Highlanders led 23-18, CSUF got back in the game with a 4-0 run starting with a kill by senior right-side hitter Alyse Hensley. Errors by the Highlanders gave the Titans their next three points. Junior middle blocker Annishia McKoy recorded a kill to give Riverside a 24-22 lead and a set point.
CSUF completed their comeback after that starting with a kill by freshman middle blocker Faith Rockmore. The set was capped off by a kill from Hensley and two consecutive kills by junior outside hitter Bre Moreland. Riverside couldn’t recover from their close loss in the second set and the Titans finished them off with a 25-20 score in the third set. At one point, the Highlanders held an 11-10 lead but couldn’t hold on after that. The Titans went on a 3-0 run. It stayed close until the Titans went on a 4-0 run to extend their lead to 22-15. Sophomore right-side hitter Holland Crenshaw ended the night with the final kill. Moreland recorded her fifth double-double of the season with 10 kills and 10 digs. She also had two service aces. Crenshaw also recorded 10 kills along with a whopping .625 hitting percentage. Freshman libero McKenna Painton continued to assert her dominance in digs with 21. Hensley added another stellar performance with eight kills and nine digs. She also recorded four blocks and two service aces. Junior setter Julie Consani produced 35 assists, continuing to facilitate the offense. Freshman outside hitter Cristina Maietta led the Highlanders with 12 kills, and freshman libero Maddie Hubbell led them with 15 digs. Maietta also added two service aces to her night. This sweep marks the seventh of the season for CSUF, and it extends the Titans’ winning streak against Riverside to 17. The all-time series record now stands at 24-4 in CSUF’s favor. The Titans will continue their road trip for their next two matches. Their next game will take place against Long Beach State on Friday Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. The Titans will play UC Irvine at 7 p.m. the following night.

Titans riding strong homestand Men’s soccer earn second straight shutout and grab share of conference lead VINCENT LA ROSA Daily Titan
An early goal was enough for the Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team to secure a victory at home Friday over UC Davis despite having to play the final eight minutes with 10 men. Junior defender Jesse Vega was on target for the Titans in the match’s fifth minute, while senior goalkeeper Bryan Escalante had five saves to push CSUF to 5-6 overall and 2-1 in Big West Conference play. The Titans were forced to complete the match with just 10 men after junior forward Amara Soumah was shown a straight red card in the 82nd minute for a late challenge on UC Davis’ senior goalkeeper Omar Zeenni. Zeenni finished the night with three saves. The match’s only goal began with a play in the Titans’ half of the field with Escalante sending a long free kick towards the Aggies’ penalty area after UC Davis was flagged for offside. After a brief scramble in the Aggies’ box, Titan senior forward Jordan Wolff recovered a loose ball to the right of the six-yard box and set up sophomore midfielder Colin Okirie for a cross from the Titans’ right. Okirie’s cross to the far post was deflected out of play, giving CSUF a corner kick from the left side. Junior midfielder Spencer Johnson sent the corner to the near post and caught Zeenni off guard as he wrestled for po-
sition with CSUF junior midfielder Garrett Losee on the Aggies’ goal line. Zeenni narrowly punched away the corner, but only far enough for Okirie to rush in and send a header from 10 yards out careening off the UC Davis crossbar and into the path of Vega. The CSUF defender’s header from five yards found the net’s upper left corner to give the Titans a 1-0 lead and eventually the victory. “If you look at our stats, we are scoring a very large number of goals on corners,” said Titan Head Coach Bob Ammann of Vega’s goal. “It came from a corner, we put them under pressure and if you put teams under pressure, good things happen.” Vega’s goal was his first of the season and second of his CSUF career. Coincidentally, Vega’s only other goal also came against the Aggies in 2011 and in a similar fashion. “I think it’s just lucky, I guess,” said Vega of his goals against UC Davis. “The last one was kind of the same way. Just a jumble. The ball came right to me and I just had to head it in.” With a one goal lead, the Titans continued to control much of the match, frustrating the Aggies with high pressing in waves throughout the field and forcing UC Davis defenders into either sending long balls or giving away possession to Titan midfielders when they played it short. Junior midfielder Ian Ramos was especially effective playing in a free role for the Titans. The midfielder’s dribbling ability bailed CSUF out of pressure on quite a few occasions and he nearly set up fellow ju-
nior Marc Fenelus for goals on two separate occasions. In addition to Ramos, Escalante also shined in the game, preserving the Titan lead on numerous occasions with sharp saves at sporadic times throughout the match. His best save of the match came in the match’s 33rd minute when Aggies senior forward Nick Grigoriev broke clear of
the Titan defense for a one-onone opportunity. Holding firm at his near post, Escalante turned away the forward’s right-footed shot from less than 10 yards and preserved a second straight clean sheet for the Titans. “It’s very easy to get distracted sometimes,” Escalante said about coming up with key saves. “You got to keep the fo-
cus, remain calm and focus on the game. What I do is just communicate with the team and I get their feedback and they also need me to be communicating with them to maintain that focus in the game.” The teams were deadlocked in shots taken, with nine each, and corners, with each team attempting four. With the win, the Titans find
themselves tied for the top of the Big West’s South Division with Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine. CSUF will face UCI at home on Oct. 19 before traveling to Northridge for a midweek match on Oct. 23.
