University Police to wear cameras

Results from the study showed a 59 percent drop in use-of-force incidents and an 88 percent decline in complaints. University Police had nine use-of-force incidents last year out of 39,471 total incidents of officer activity—which include acts like pulling over a driver or responding to an emergency call. When a use-of-force incident occurs, it is analyzed and reviewed to make sure department policy was followed and to identify trends or training issues that may have had an impact on the incident. Information gathered from the analysis is used to see how the number of use-of-force incidents can be reduced. With the implementation of the cameras, footage recorded during the incident will also be taken into consideration during the analysis, Brockie said. “The reality is, police work requires the use of force, it’s part of doing police work,” Brockie said. “When force is used, the citizen is at risk as well as our officers.”

Officers will equip body-worn cameras to record interactions with public

SAMUEL MOUNTJOY Daily Titan University Police officers will soon be equipped with body cameras, joining the Anaheim and Fullerton police departments in implementing the devices, said University Police Capt. John Brockie. The $33,000 purchase of 26 cameras will put a camera on every University Police patrol officer. There has been a national movement in the last year toward equipping officers with body cameras, accelerated in part by the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri last month. Last week, the Obama administration announced support for body-worn cameras, and said the U.S. Department of Justice is looking into the best method to implement them. Police wearing cameras can reduce the number of useof-force incidents and citizen complaints against officers, according to a study conducted by the Rialto Police Department and the University of Cambridge.

Men’s soccer earns two key victories The Titans have gotten hot as of late, winning their last three games by a margin of 8-4

TAMEEM SERAJ & RUDY CHINCHILLA Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team has finally started to find their groove after a couple of home wins this weekend to give them their first three-game winning streak of the season. The first win on Friday was a tightly contested 1-0 game against Santa Clara that marked the first home win as a Titan for first-year Head Coach George Kuntz. Kuntz sent out goalkeeper David Rodriguez Elias for his third game in between the pipes. The sophomore was only forced to make one save, but recorded his first clean sheet of the season. Elias has been praised by his defense for his leadership. “(Elias) is a great guy, we get along off the pitch as well. We listen to each other, he gives me information and I give him information,” junior center back Colin Okirie said. “He coaches the back line very well … we

were very organized.” The game felt like a chess match during the first fifteen minutes, with both teams feeling each other out and failing to get any good looks on offense. The first chance of the game came in the 17th minute when senior midfielder Ian Ramos had his shot from the top of the box stuffed by Bronco goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh. Ramos gave the ball another ride with a half-volley strike from outside the box, but the shot didn’t test McIntosh and sailed harmlessly to the right of the post. The teams headed to the locker room scoreless, as the Titans held the Broncos without a first-half shot. “A phrase that I use is ‘cut the source’ and just eliminate anything that could be dangerous,” Kuntz said. “When we walked in (to the locker room) we were like ‘Did they get a shot in the first half?’” The pace of the second half quickened and opened up more opportunities for both sides. Right away, the Titans earned a corner, and forward

Course provides women with knowledge and training to defend against sexual assault

CYNTHIA WASHICKO Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton University Police will be hosting Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) classes in late September and early October. The classes, open to all women and offering priority registration to CSUF students, provide women with information and the self-defense training needed to prepare them to defend themselves against sexual violence. The classes come after two rapes were reported on campus this year, the first reported rapes since 2010. The lecture element of the program focuses on teaching women to be self-dependent for their safety and to stay aware of

their surroundings. That information is coupled with the physical defense techniques taught in the classes, including appropriate defense techniques to confrontation. Finally, the classes use simulations to allow women to put the techniques they’ve learned into practice by responding to simulated assault scenarios. The program “balances the needs of women to acquire self defense education in a relatively short period of time with the lifelong commitment required for physical skills mastery,” according to the RAD website. Participants must attend all three four-hour classes in order to receive the RAD completion certificate. The certificate allows the holder to take part in the RAD lifetime return and practice policy, reinforcing the

lessons learned at the initial workshops. More information is available at Police.Fullerton.edu/rad. To register, call University Police at (657) 278-4302.

RAD Class Course Schedules: • Saturday 9/27/14 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. • Saturday 10/04/14 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. • Saturday 10/11/14 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. • Location: CSUF SRC; Harvey McKee Room • Cost: $25, payable by credit card only

Santa Ana to fog for West Nile Amid the worst year on record for West Nile Virus infections in Orange County, the OC Vector Control District is taking big steps to combat the future spread of the virus, according to the Los Angeles Times. Targeted neighborhoods in Santa Ana will be fogged, the only known way to control adult mosquito populations. The spray will take place between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. from Tuesday through Friday. The four neighborhoods to be sprayed include one on the northeast and three on the western side of the city. Santa Ana has consistently tested positive for the virus, which is why it was elected to first receive the fog. Residents of Santa Ana are advised to stay in their homes for at least half an hour after the treatment. - HEATHER MYERS

As the Pollak Library moves closer to a major remodel, the library’s collection will be weeded for the first time in 10 years. The weeding will allow for better use of limited library space.

Pollak Library thins out collection Weeding process will rid library of unnecessary or rarely used documents and books

CYNTHIA WASHICKO Daily Titan Pollak Library has begun the process of weeding out unnecessary journals and documents and will continue to do so over the next three semesters, said interim university librarian Scott Hewitt, Ph.D. at an Academic Senate meeting Thursday. The process will take place in three phases over three semesters–beginning with academic journals and some government documents this semester and moving onto books next semester. Thinning out the library’s collection has been overdue, but reduced budget and staff has prevented it, Hewitt said. “Weeding is a normal process for libraries to do, but we haven’t really done it for the last 10 years,” Hewitt said. The only documents being eliminated from the library’s collection, Hewitt said, are those that are easily accessible online. Following this semester’s pilot process, the program will continue next semester as more documents and, eventually, books are

weeded out. During the fall 2015 semester, the program will reach its height and the process will conclude during that semester. The books to be removed will be selected according to subject area, Hewitt said. The current plan will require librarians to compose lists of books that haven’t been used extensively and, from there, to send those lists to the departments on campus. Faculty in each department will then have final say on which books or documents are ultimately kept in circulation. Librarians will determine which books to include on their lists according to the last time the books were used, how many times they have been checked out and the number of libraries that also hold that book. Twenty-four percent of books in the library have never been circulated, Hewitt said. If books eliminated from CSUF’s collection are available at other CSU campus libraries, students will still be able to access them via the interlibrary loan (ILL) system. Relying on that system may leave graduate students or seniors in a bind, however, as ILL only allows book rentals for short periods of time, said Lynn Sargeant, an academic senator and

history professor. The process keeps the library in line with its mandate to be a working library, and that means maintaining a collection of books that is useful to students and faculty, Hewitt said. “We look at this as a way to refresh our collection and refocus it and we will, in the process of doing this, we will also be looking at, ‘where are we deficient?’” Hewitt said. “Some departments have grown rapidly relative to others and maybe our collections are a little out of sync with that, and maybe we need to work on that.” Part of the need for the weeding process comes from the way books are acquired, Hewitt said. Librarians submit criteria for books and publishing companies send a number of books that fulfill those requirements. While that process brings needed books into the library’s collection, it also results in unnecessary volumes, Hewitt said. The library staff is still in the process of drawing up an official policy for selecting which documents and books will be eliminated. Once the policy is finalized, however, it will be available online, Hewitt said.

A husband and wife from Anaheim Hills were found dead in their home Friday from what appears to be a murder-suicide, according to the Orange County Register. Natalie Rangel-Diaz and John Thomas Diaz, both 32, were discovered on the first floor of their home by Rangel-Diaz’s parents. Police were called to the scene at 8:30 a.m. and said the couple appeared to have suffered multiple gunshot wounds. A handgun was found near the bodies. The parents of Rangel-Diaz arrived at the home to babysit their 7-month-old grandchild, who was found unharmed upstairs. The child has been taken into protective custody. - HEATHER MYERS

Man guilty of theater stabbing A 30-year-old Anaheim man was convicted Wednesday during a retrial of stabbing two people in a movie theater in 2008, according to the Los Angeles Times. Steven Walter Robinson Jr. was convicted of attempted murder the following year and sentenced to 22 years to life in prison. The Orange County District Attorney’s office said that Robinson was kicked out of the AMC Fullerton movie theater because he would not show a cup of suspected alcohol to security. He then snuck back into the theater with a pocket knife and stabbed two fellow moviegoers. Robinson’s original trial conviction was thrown out by an appeals court in 2011 due to a judge’s error in instructing the jury, resulting in the retrial. - HEATHER MYERS

Camera: CSUF police gain new tech CONTINUED FROM

University Police has been eyeing cameras for years, having chosen a patrol car camera system years ago that would support body-worn cameras. The final decision to purchase the cameras was made in August, and officers should be wearing the cameras by the end of November, Brockie said. The policy of exactly how the cameras will be used has not yet been written, but the department has been looking at guidelines set by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., University Police’s accrediting body. University Police has also been looking at sample policies written by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

The cameras will likely be turned on by the officer when an officer initiates a stop or interacts with a member of the public, but the details of when they will or will not be used and other detailed aspects of their use is still being decided, Brockie said. Fullerton Police Chief Dan Hughes is also still working on the city’s policy on bodyworn cameras. Fullerton approved body cameras for Fullerton police officers last week. Hughes said he plans to consider guidelines on the use of body cameras written by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU calls for certain restrictions on camera use in order to protect the privacy of the public. The organization calls for certain rules on how footage

is used and that citizens are made aware they are being recorded. The Wolfcom 3rd Eye camera will be worn on the shoulder, replacing the 2-way radio microphones typically worn in that position. The cameras have built-in radio functionality. Features of the camera include a 120-degree wide angle lens, 1080p high resolution full-color video, GPS integration, 32 gigabytes of memory and 17 hours of video capacity. After three years, the cameras will be replaced with the current product, as part of an agreement with the manufacturer, Brockie said. The department’s chief, captain and operations lieutenant will not be equipped with the cameras.

CSUF professor delves into cancer research KRISTINA HILLIARD Daily Titan For the past two years, Anael Verdugo, CSUF assistant professor of applied mathematics, has been doing research in order to learn how iron affects cancer cells. Verdugo’s research involves the study of healthy and cancerous cells, and how the two metabolize iron. Iron is injected into both the cancerous and healthy cells and the resulting reaction is the focus of Verdugo’s study.

Verdugo’s modeling uses differential equations to understand certain elements’ effects on cells. “You go from a real life cell, to a picture … from that picture you can use a computer to measure (the cell) and from that you get numbers, and once you get numbers, then you can pot these things,” Verdugo said. Healthy cells react in a way that allows genes to be reproduced faster and messengers within the cell to translate at varying speeds, Verdugo said. Increasing levels of iron are introduced into the cells,

and from there, patterns are laid out for how proteins are expressed within the cell. The same process is then repeated with the cancerous cells. “The question is, ‘how is the network wired in cancer cells?’ Somehow the network is wired in such a way that cancer cells don’t follow the rules that healthy cells follow. That is the problem,” Verdugo said. The goal of his research is to further understand how cancer cells in the human body function. “It’s a network, everything is connected and we would like to know how the

information flows through the network,” Verdugo said. To achieve his goal,

“

It’s a network, everything is connected and we would like to know how the information flows through the network.

“

Anael Verdugo uses math models to examine iron’s effects on cancerous cells

ANAEL VERDUGO Assistant professor of applied mathematics Verdugo works with a team of researchers, from

undergraduate students to professors who have studied iron metabolism for years. Verdugo recruits students to help in the research as it is a repetitive process. Gabriel Bonilla and Naarai Garcia, both applied mathematics majors who worked with Verdugo, will have the chance to present their own research as a result of their work with Verdugo. Bonilla and Garcia did their first poster presentation at the CSUF Summer Research Symposium. Next month, Garcia will be presenting to a panel of judges at the Society for Advancement

of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science national conference. “For the last presentation, I just read over my poster and looked over my notes. However, SACNAS is a national conference so I have more preparing to do,” Garcia said. Verdugo’s team is currently working with healthy cells. Its next step is to test cancer cells and build mathematical models to display the results. After that, his goal is to compile the research into one cohesive mathematical model.

The Long Road Today/El Largo Camino de Hoy premiered this past weekend, exceeding its expectations by bringing a diverse background of people together to share the beautiful Latino culture that Santa Ana has to offer. The unorthodox performance took place at the Civic Center Square off of Parton Street and Santa Ana Boulevard. The entire event was free, including parking and admission. Sponsored by the South Coast Repertory, the sets were separated into four sections, with professional lighting and sound booming throughout the hallways of the government buildings. The purpose of the separated outdoor tracks was to create different points of view and to emphasize the moral of the play: although you can’t change your fate, you can change your future. The entire play revolved around the Spanish game of chance, Loteria. Each guest was given one of four Loteria cards and depending on the card they got, that would be the character they followed to start the show. The entire performance was held outdoors, with staff handing out chairs and stools to the majority of the audience. The performance itself was very audience-engaging

from the beginning. The entire storyline revolves around two Hispanic families who are brought together through a horrible accident that leaves Andres, a deaf boy, dead after Salvador, a distracted teenager, runs him over with his car. The play demonstrates the effects the accident had on each family and how an entire community was able to come together to change the future so that something like this would never happen again. The play featured a short film that covered the over one-hundred-year history of Santa Ana, allowing the audience to truly assimilate into the culture being portrayed. Subtly, the performance touched on many serious issues that are corrupting today’s society. It had everything from Andres’ older sister cutting herself to deal with the pain, to Salvador’s dad falling into alcoholism and domestic violence after having a mental breakdown after the accident. It also touched on the very controversial issue of the police. Throughout the performance, cast members expressed their fear to step up in the community or to do anything to stand out because they all lived in fear of the police, of being deported or of simply

just being profiled. Having the play out on the streets of Santa Ana added a little extra “it” factor that made it much more unique and real. The performance provided laughs, as well as a few tear-jerking scenes. The fight between opposing forces finally comes to a close, allowing one community to unite and finally find its peace and identity. The play ends years later in the future when Salvador is finally released from prison where he has found his faith. He becomes a pastor and the entire community has changed for the better. Neighbors and friends have joined forces to build a park so children have a safe place to play. Andres’ older sister, Luz, has stopped cutting herself. She channels her pain into art, which allows her to leave Santa Ana for bigger and better things. After years of hatred between the two families, Salvador is finally able to get the families to look past their differences and finally move on, together. Overall, the performance did not disappoint. It truly entertained and educated all those in attendance. The play will be at the Civic Center Plaza for one final weekend from Sept. 26-28. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/AE

The double standard of sports Solo’s lack of punishment after a domestic violence arrest shows the double standard in sports

JAMES SMITH Daily Titan In the last two weeks, the glaring issue of domestic violence in professional sports and how little is done to stop it has finally caught national attention. However, with most of the attention directed at the NFL, one very important case not involving a football player has been forgotten. Hope Solo should not be allowed to play professional soccer at any level. Solo was arrested in June for allegedly physically assaulting her half-sister and teenage nephew. When police arrived at the scene, Solo appeared intoxicated and upset,

while both her half-sister and her 17-year-old nephew had visible injuries, according to police reports. While this report did catch the attention of the media for a brief moment in June, Solo benefited from the relative lack of media saturation that women’s sports receive, and she was able to put the event behind her with almost no damage. After the altercation, Solo quickly returned to her professional club team, the Seattle Reign, as well as resumed training with the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT). In recent weeks, the NFL and its commissioner Roger Goodell have been forced to atone for their laundry list of past sins, including negligently turning a blind eye to domestic violence. In less than a month, we

have seen the league suspend or deactivate several of its stars, including Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and, most recently, Jonathan Dwyer, for domestic violence related crimes. However, in the world of women’s sports, no action has been taken. The crime Solo allegedly committed is no different than those perpetrated by Rice and Dwyer, yet both NFL players have received swifter and more severe punishments for their actions. Neil Buethe, director of communications for U.S. Soccer, did make a comment about Solo’s eligibility to play. “We are aware that Hope is handling a personal situation at the moment,” said Buethe in an email sent to USA Today. “At the same time, she has an

opportunity to set a significant record that speaks to her hard work and dedication over the years with the national team. While considering all factors involved, we believe that we should recognize that in the proper way.” Buethe is saying that when an athlete is very close to breaking a major record, they are temporarily absolved, from breaking a loved ones face. Would this excuse still be valid if it weren’t a woman soccer player in question? If the Minnesota Vikings or Baltimore Ravens made the decision to allow Peterson or Rice to keep playing, the public and media outcry would be endless. At this moment, there appears to be a clear double standard between men’s and women’s sports in the

way domestic violence is treated. While it’s easy to argue that the image of a hulking NFL running back hitting his wife or child is a much more dramatic scene than a female goalie beating her half-sister or her teenage nephew, it’s beside the point. The real issue here is that domestic violence, regardless of who is inflicting it, should always be taken seriously, especially when it involves someone that our society considers to be a role model. There is another issue that makes Solo’s punishment, or lack thereof, more troubling. In the coming months, she has the very real potential to become one of the most publicized female athlete in the world. The Women’s World Cup will take place in June of 2015,

and Solo and the USWNT are considered favorites to win the tournament. Solo in the past, and expectedly the future, is one of the main faces of the team, appearing in a wide array of commercials and different promotions. With Nike, a major sponsor of Solo, surprisingly silent about her arrest, it’s a safe bet that she will have plenty of screen time during the upcoming World Cup. It’s disheartening to see an organization like U.S. Soccer, which has produced so many role models and heroes in the past, be indifferent about domestic violence. As a society that considers itself so liberated and morally progressive, we should start holding all of our role models equally accountable of those morals.

Omission in oath corrupts American principles The removal of “So help me God” from the Air Force’s oath drastically changes U.S. values

BRITTANEY CARPENTER Daily Titan The United States Air Force’s decision to allow its members to omit a phrase that has been a part of the oath of enlistment since 1776 corrupts the very history the U.S. was founded upon. Earlier this month, an Air Force member struck out the phrase “So help me God” on his re-enlistment papers, which resulted in his inability to re-enlist, according to the Washington Post. After thorough review, the Department of Defense General Council decided that it was in the best interest of their airmen to allow that phrase be removed, if the men so choose. The first oath of enlistment was established in Oct. 21, 1776, which ended with the phrase “So help me God,” according to the U.S. Army Center of Military History. This oath came during the Revolutionary War where American military and civilian national officers said they “owe no allegiance or obedience to George III, king of Great Britain.” The oath of enlistment is not the only phrase of American patriotism that makes reference to God. The pledge of allegiance

refers to the United States as “one nation, under God.” Why is American history being changed due to citizen sensitivity? Does omitting the word “God” address perceived freedom-of-religion issues, or does it demonstrate how easy it has become for American citizens to forget the ideals that this country was founded on. George Washington stated, “While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.” The first president of the United States believed that a belief in God was even more honorable than the role of a patriot. This does not necessarily entail a specific belief system. This statement is one of many phrases by the founding fathers that discuss religion and the role of God in the success of the United States. Against all odds, America became independent through means of God-fearing men considered “rebels.” Since the United States has grown distant from the values of religion, this country has seen years of economic

The recent change to U.S. Air Force oath allows for airmen to strike out the phrase “So help me God” if they choose to.

struggle, with a bleak financial future. Patrick Henry stated in 1776, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here.” The guarantee of the First Amendment for freedom of religion provides citizens with the ability to

believe in the religion of their choosing. This guarantee does not provide the right to try to eliminate God and religion altogether from this nation. The Air Force’s decision to eliminate a historic phrase involving God does not only affect the Air Force. A serious change needs to be seen in how United States citizens view both the country’s values and God. If uttering “God” is so offensive to a nation where 78 percent of the people

consider themselves Christian-based, why stop at only removing God? Changing these historic pledges and oaths changes what this country initially stood for. While this move by the Air Force gained support from many, the director of litigation for the Liberty Institute, Hiram Sasser, had an interesting and different take on this action in an interview with Fox News. “I am glad the Air Force allows airmen to omit parts

of oaths with which they disagree because one day the Air Force will ask airmen to take an oath regarding controversial subjects like marriage and Bible-believing airmen will likewise refrain from such oaths,” Sasser said. One can only hope that because “So help me God” has become optional for fear of offending anyone, that all disagreeable matters being optional will gain the same amount of rallied support.

Titan women earn first home win

The Titan offense came to play against Idaho State, scoring four goals Thursday

RUDY CHINCHILLA Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team didn’t disappoint in front of a lively home crowd, earning its second win of the season in style after topping Idaho State University 4-1. The Titans played with palpable energy and a clear desire to attack. “The luck that we get in the game has to be produced by the work that we do in the game,” was the message that Head Coach Demian Brown tried to instill into his players heading into the match against the Bengals (3-3-0). And work they did. Fullerton created the first shot only one minute after the start. Spotting Jazzmin Mancilla running down the left flank, midfielder Chelsey Patterson switched the field and crossed to the left back, who received the ball midstride and fired a powerful shot, forcing a near-post save by Idaho State goalkeeper Sheridan Hapsic.

In the third minute, Sarah Fajnor’s corner kick began curling toward the near post. Again, Hapsic parried the ball away. Fullerton’s relentless attack paid dividends in the ninth minute. Senior Colleen Ortega mimicked Fajnor’s earlier corner kick, but this time Hapsic’s punch found mostly empty air, and the ball curled into the near post and in, putting the hosts up 1-0. One became two in the 12th minute, as Christina Burkenroad scored her first goal of the season. Tala Haddad recorded the assist when both Hapsic and the Bengal center backs mistimed their attempted clearance of her cross. The ball found an unmarked Burkenroad, who slotted the ball into an empty net. The Bengals responded in the 17th minute when Ortega and goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart mistimed their own challenges of an Idaho State corner. The curling ball eluded everyone and ended up clanked off the far post,

much to the relief of the Titans. In the 31st minute, a long ball over the top beat three Titan defenders and while Stuart attempted to collect, Morgan Batcheller couldn’t muscle away Idaho State’s attacker, who poked the ball past Batcheller and Stuart. With Samantha Rodriguez running into the box, Ortega slide tackled, winning the 50/50 challenge. The ball bounced to an unmarked Amanda Ellsworth at the top of the box, but she shot wide. Ortega admitted that the back line still has a little bit of work to do, saying, “We just need to work out some of our communication when we get down to it.” The first half ended with CSUF still up 2-0. The second half started just like the first, with the Titans throwing everything forward once more. Fajnor, Burkenroad and Rebecca Wilson interchanged positions in attack, sliding seamlessly into and out of space, pulling defenders every which way. The strategy paid off in

the 52nd minute. A pass from Burkenroad put Wilson through, and after beating a defender, she went one-on-one with Hapsic, putting the ball away low and to the left. Wilson scored again in the 57th minute, this time dribbling into the box after dispossessing a defender. Hapsic got a touch to the ball, but Wilson’s shot still found the back of the net. Wilson went off holding her arm after the play, but coach Brown dismissed any notion of a serious injury. In the 77th minute, the Big Sky scoring leader Ellsworth scored against Morgan Bertsch, who had come on for Stuart, but neither team would score again after that. Burkenroad praised the team’s attack after the game, saying, “All week we’ve been stressing attack, and we knew the goals were coming … Working together, working off each other felt great. Working at it every day and it finally paying off— it feels great.” The Titans take on the No. 12 ranked Pepperdine Waves on Thursday.

Cross-country impresses in Santa Clarita HEATHER MYERS Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s and women’s cross-country teams competed in the Mustang Challenge Saturday morning in Santa Clarita. The races were held at Central Park and hosted by The Master’s College. The men’s 8k run concluded with six Titans

finishing among the top 30 competitors. The top three Titans to finish the race were Danny Ramirez with a time of 26:00, Jose Penaloza finishing in 26:02 and Brandon Perry crossing at 26:37. The Titan men took second place overall (84 points), behind Cal State San Marcos. “The men did a good job in working hard as a group to gain early position in the race,” Head Coach John Elders said to Fullertontitans.

the title.” The women’s team placed fourth in the 5k run (112 points), with

gate finishing in 19:02, and Ana Valdovinos crossing the finish line at 19:03. “The women also ran

a solid race as we showed improvements from our last meet at the Mark Covert Classic,” Elders said. “Although we advanced our pace down the stretch, we’ll look to improve our positioning early in competition. We certainly accomplished our goal of having a good second half of the race.” Both teams had similar results in the 2013 Mustang Challenge. The men and women placed second and fourth,

but both teams improved in the points column this year. The Titan men scored just 53 points last year compared to 84 Saturday, and the women improved by 20 points over last year. The Titans will compete next in San Bernardino in the Coyote Classic on Sept. 27. The meet will be hosted by Cal State San Bernardino and will take place at the CSUSB campus.

HOROSCOPES

WORD SEARCH

PROVIDED BY: celebrity.yahoo.com/horoscope

ARIES

(MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

This is a good time to think about home and what it means to you. In fact, you may get a message from family or those closest to you that draws you backward a bit. It’s for the best!

TAURUS

(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

Auto problems plague you today -even if you don’t own a car! Maybe traffic gets in the way of an important meeting, or maybe you’re taken by surprise when a repair is more expensive than it should be.

GEMINI

(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

You feel somewhat moody today -even if things are going swimmingly! If things are not to your liking, you may fall off the deep end. The good news is that this won’t last for long.

CANCER

(JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Your intuitive powers are greatly heightened right now -- so much so that you may spook someone! Try to let them down easy, because they may actually secretly wish you were actually psychic.

LEO

(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Though everyone around you seems to get tired and give up, you stick it out and end up exhausted but proud of yourself. Things do go your way, even though it may take a few days to see the results.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

Things look dire this morning -- but you’ve got more resources than you realize to handle it all. Make sure that you’re calling in those old favors. Why else would you hang onto them this long?

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Things are unlikely to move quickly today, so try not to get too riled up when you’re facing a big pile of work late in the day. If anything, you should try to stay positive so it’s easier to get help.

SCORPIO

A dream brings a message -- though it may be a vague memory by the time it’s needed. The good news is that your subconscious mind is fully active today so it should all come back to you.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

You are full of questions today -- and while not all of them get answered, you should still find that your great social energy helps you to start some really fruitful conversations.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

Sometimes you can spread your focus on a group or big-picture issue, but today you need to narrow it like a laser on one person or maybe one small problem. You can make great progress!

AQUARIUS

(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

You’ve got to just take care of business and keep moving today -- dwelling on your problems is sure to sink your chances at making any progress. You get time for emotional processing later.

PISCES

(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

A new song captures your heart today -- even if you’re not usually musically inclined. Watch out for new earworms, as they’ve got messages that you may not quite be ready for at this time.

SPORTS Titans struggle in Fullerton Classic

PAGE 8 SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 MONDAY

Carolyn Zimmerman’s squad struggled to play consistently in the Fullerton Classic

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan Niki Withers earned All-Tournament honors at the Fullerton Classic, but the Titans only managed to get one win in three matches over the weekend. The freshman had 56 kills over the three games and was selected to the second All-Tournament team of her young career. “I felt like I played pretty well,” Withers said. “I definitely kept my errors to a minimum compared to how I normally perform.” Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman is happy with Withers’ development so far this season. “She’s a tremendous athlete,” Zimmerman said. “She’s not perfect. She takes some ‘wow’ swings and some ‘not so wow’ swings. But once she gets it all figured out, we’ll see a lot of points on the board for the Titans.” Unfortunately for Zimmerman, the Titan offense didn’t cause much damage in the tournament opener against Yale. CSUF committed 35 attack errors and had a dismal .090 hitting percentage. “I don’t think we were comfortable in our own skin. We got away from playing Titan volleyball,” Zimmerman said. The Titans had at least seven attack errors in each set and had 12 in the final set. The Bulldogs had seven service aces, including three by freshman Kaitlyn Gibbons. The Yorba Linda native also had seven of the team’s 50 kills.

AMANDA SHARP / DAILY TITAN

Freshman Katie Roux warms up during the Fullerton Classic held at Titan Gym. The Titans won just one of their three matches, defeating Georgetown in five sets.

Junior Mackenzie Olsen had her second double-double of the season with 39 assists and 10 digs for the Titans. “We definitely could have played better,” Olsen said. The Titans bounced back Saturday morning against Georgetown, beating the Hoyas three sets to two. Withers had a career-high 25 kills and the team improved to a .200 hitting percentage. “As a team, we played so much better than we have in the past,” Withers said.

Despite the career game for Withers, the Titans managed to have a well-rounded offensive attack. Freshman Katelyn Nielson also had a career-high in kills with 12 and Holland Crenshaw had 10 of her own. “We made some adjustments going into the Georgetown match. Overall we were really satisfied getting the win in five (sets),” Zimmerman said. “Our ladies needed it.” The Titan defense came to play as well. Three players had double-digit digs, with

sophomore libero McKenna Painton leading the way with 21, and Paige Reed and Rachel Brown each adding 12. CSUF played No. 22 UCLA in the final game of the weekend. “They are such a great team that plays at a super high level,” Withers said. “We needed to play a team like that so that we don’t get too startled when we play tough conference games.” “It definitely lets us know where we are as a team. It lets us know what little things we need to improve

on,” Olsen said. The Titans played UCLA tough in the first two sets. But Fullerton was sloppy in the third set, losing 25-12 to seal the win for UCLA. The duo of outside hitter Karsta Lowe and setter Julie Consani was too much for the Titans to handle. Lowe had 17 kills and was named tournament MVP. Consani spent three years at CSUF before transferring to UCLA. She had 35 assists against her former team. “It was really fun playing against my former

teammates,” Consani said. “They knew what I was going to do, and I knew what they were going to do. It made it interesting.” Zimmerman was pleased with her team’s performance overall but was disappointed in how the game ended. “What’s most important is we did a pretty good job handling things on our side of the net,” Zimmerman said. The Titans open Big West play against Cal State Northridge Friday, Sept. 26 at Titan Gym.

Freshman Diego Sanchez takes a shot during Sunday afternoon’s game against Nebraska-Omaha.

Soccer: CSUF wins their third consecutive game CONTINUED FROM

The ball sailed over the head of McIntosh and crept under the crossbar to give the Titans the lead they worked tirelessly for. Kuntz described the goal as “world class.” It marked Losee’s second goal of the season, tying him for the team lead. “I was just able to lay the ball off to Ian (Ramos) and then I saw Ian pick his head up and I ran through and just took it off the chest and it was a good combo play,” Losee said. “As soon as I saw the keeper step back, I knew it was going in.” In the final five minutes of the match, the Broncos ramped up the pressure, but Okirie and the rest of the Titan defense were the first ones to the ball and they cleared it out of harm’s way to preserve the victory. The Titans made it three wins in a row on Sunday afternoon against the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks (3-3-1).

With the win, CSUF brought its record to 3-3-1. “The best thing about this team is the attitude’s been tremendous. They’ve never started chewing each other out. They’ve always supported each other,” Kuntz said. The positivity shined through as Fullerton created numerous shots. Less than a minute after the start, Fenelus put Losee through on goal, but Losee’s low-driven shot from the top of the box went just wide. Thirty-six minutes later, the Titans turned their chances into a goal when Mark Vasquez passed to Amara Soumah from the left wing. Soumah was inside the six-yard box with his back to the goal, but he turned and shot twice, as the first shot deflected off a defender. He side-footed the rebound into the back of the net to put the Titans ahead. In the second half, CSUF began absorbing more pressure, eventually conceding

in the 66th minute when Jake McCain sent a cross from the right side for the Mavericks. Teammate Vance Rookwood leapt higher than Fullerton’s Mitchell Bell and Elias, heading the ball in. The Titans went ahead in the 71st minute. Soumah did well to cut back from the left side , and his pass found Losee, who slid in and made it 2-1. Ramos joined Soumah and Losee on the scoresheet in the 89th minute. He chipped over a defender down the right flank, putting himself into the box. Without any hesitation, he shot a thunderbolt of a half-volley into the upper corner of the far post, leaving Omaha’s goalkeeper Joseph Ghitis with no chance to even react. The Titans will look to keep their winning streak alive when they head to Kuntz’s home state of Arizona on Sunday to face Grand Canyon University. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/SPORTS
