Turning attention to current pollution Lecture by 5 Gyres Institute founder to tackle issue of plastic pollution in oceans

RACHAEL GARCIA Daily Titan Plastic bags from the grocery store. Plastic Starbucks cups. Plastic wrap around new iPhone boxes. Products are either packaged in plastic or made of it. It’s used and then unceremoniously thrown in the trash and pushed out to sea. In an effort to change the

way people think about plastic pollution, the 5 Gyres organization is conducting research and raising awareness about the long-term repercussions of adopting a throw-away mentality and its impact on the world’s oceans. Marcus Eriksen, Ph.D., co-founder of the 5 Gyres organization, will describe some of the organization’s research and explain possible solutions to the issue during a lecture Tuesday at

1 p.m. in the Titan Student Union, Pavilion A. “A lot of people don’t know about these types of things and (5 Gyres) is taking the opportunity to educate people on a one-toone basis so they can then tell others,” said Exhibitions Coordinator Kimberly McKinnis. Americans generate about 31 million pounds of plastic waste every year, and just 8.2 percent of that is recycled. The rest either goes to

the landfill or is unaccounted for––millions of tons of this unaccounted-for waste ends up in the ocean, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Plastic is designed to last forever and, when it ends up in the ocean, it eventually finds its way to one of five large ocean gyres. These gyres are large systems of winds and rotating ocean currents. SEE OCEANS

AICA honors the cultures of CSUF

Multicultural Food Festival will offer foreign dishes plus a concert from Joseph Vincent

DEANNA GOMEZ Daily Titan Foodies rejoice. This week the Association of InterCultural Awareness (AICA) of Cal State Fullerton is hosting an event that will make mouths water. On Wednesday, AICA will be holding a multicultural food festival from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Becker Amphitheater. The event is a combination of AICA’s annual Multicultural Taste Festival and its International Festival. Attendees will not only get to sample foods from different cultures around

the world, but they will also get to learn the significance behind the food they are trying. “We seek to educate ourselves and others to see the importance of not only tasting, but engaging in activities and the significance of cultural food,” said AICA’s Public Relations Coordinator Magdalena Tan. In total, there will be 21 CSUF cultural organizations taking part in the event. Attendees will be able to participate in different activities provided by the organizations. The point of these activities will be to teach attendees more about the different cultures on campus. “We hope to enrich the

CSUF community with our cultural knowledge ... (AICA) exists to enhance the university experience of CSUF students by raising the awareness of and celebrating the multicultural student population of Cal State Fullerton,” Tan said. Attendees will be able to try a variety of dishes such as sticky rice with mango from the Cambodian Student Association, Vietnamese spring rolls from the Vietnamese Student Association and arroz con leche from Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán. Some of the cultural organizations involved with the event will be providing entertainment for attendees. SEE CULTURE

Rebecca Wilson has been one of the only bright spots for the Titan offense this year, scoring seven goals on the 2014 season. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

Rebecca Wilson had all three Titan goals over the weekend, and it was enough to propel the team to a solid start in Big West Conference play. The three goals gave Wilson a total of seven for the season. She is the only Titan with multiple goals this

season, and she ranks second in the conference in that category. The Titans kicked off the weekend in Hawaii against the Rainbow Wahine at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium. Hawaii entered play with a 5-5 record and was coming off a two-game winning streak after beating Eastern Washington and Montana of the Big Sky Conference. The Rainbow Wahine found themselves on the scoreboard first as they have

done in the majority of their matches this season. In the 13th minute, senior midfielder Krystal Pascua poked the ball into the middle of the box and her younger sister Kama beat the Titan defense and launched a shot in the top left corner past goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart. The goal was Pascua’s third in her last four games. It was the 10th time in the 2014 season that the Titans surrendered the first goal of the game.

CSUF evened the score in the 31st minute when Wilson used a header to get the ball past Hawaii goalkeeper Erica Young, courtesy of a corner kick from Colleen Ortega. The assist was the first of the season for the senior defender. Two Rainbow Wahine shots found the crossbar in the opening 13 minutes of the second half, but both came up empty. SEE W SOCCER

Gyres, vortexes caused by winds and ocean currents, pick up garbage in the ocean and cause the debris to collect in large garbage patches. Eventually, the garbage breaks down to small particles.

The debris is swirled around in the gyres, bobbing up and down and breaking down slowly into smaller and smaller bits that can kill marine life that ingests the plastic. Eriksen received a doctorate in science education from the University of Southern California in 2003. He has sailed 35,000 miles through all five gyres, where he has discovered “garbage patches” in the southern hemisphere. He was inspired to do a 2000-mile, five month journey on a homemade raft down the Mississippi River. His experiences on the river led him to a life-time career studying the ecological impacts of plastic pollution. Still using homemade rafts, Eriksen recently sailed from California

to Hawaii on a raft made of 15,000 plastic bottles. He used the 2,600-mile, 88-day journey to bring attention to the 5 Gyres organization. The 5 Gyres organization was founded by Eriksen and his wife, Anna Cummins, and is committed to marine conservation through research and education of plastic waste. “(5 Gyres is) trying to educate the public about what not to buy, what not to use and how those plastics wind up in the ocean and then consumed by the fish and then back in our own bodies,” McKinnis said. The lecture is part of a traveling exhibit featuring artwork that will be in the TSU until Oct. 17. The artwork is in the Center Gallery on the ground level of the TSU and it continues downstairs in the Plaza Gallery.

COURTESY OF CAL STATE FULLERTON

Ed Sullivan will leave his position as assistant vice president for Institutional Research at CSUF to start as assistant vice chancellor for Academic Resources of the CSU system.

Moving on up: AVP makes the jump from CSUF to the CSU Edward Sullivan will leave CSUF to take up a new post with the Chancellor’s Office.

CIARA GUTIERREZ Daily Titan Edward Sullivan, Cal State Fullerton’s assistant vice president for Institutional Research and Analytical Studies, will be taking his talents to the California State University (CSU) system. On Oct. 20, Sullivan will begin his work as the assistant vice chancellor for Academic Research and Resources of the CSU system. Sullivan began his journey at CSUF in February 2003 when he was hired as the director of Institutional Research. For over 11 years, Sullivan has led research on enrollment prediction, grant activities and student success indicators at CSUF. That research has made him a key player in informing university leaders and aiding their decision processes. Sullivan’s duties will remain the same for the most part–but on a much larger scale. The transition to the new position will see Sullivan developing high quality data in order to aid leaders in leveraging their decisions. Sullivan does not plan on cutting ties with CSUF, he said. “It’s become like home … I’m going to miss the people,” Sullivan said. “With

that said, I recognize that the opportunities that come with going to the Chancellor’s Office come with perhaps an opportunity of having an even greater impact than what I’ve been able to have here,” Sullivan said. One of Sullivan’s most significant accomplishments at CSUF was the creation and deployment of the Student Success Dashboard. Sullivan relates it to that of a car–it has all of the necessary daily data needed to track students’ progress and status within the university.

“

I recognize that the opportunities that come with going to the Chancellor’s Office come with ... an opportunity of having an even greater impact ...

ISIS released a fourth beheading video Friday, this time showing the death of a British aid worker. Forty-two-year-old Alan Henning was initially taken hostage in December of last year. Like in previous ISIS videos, the victim was forced to reference the British government, which last week voted to authorize anti-ISIS airstrikes in Iraq. In what has become a pattern of ISIS beheadings, the video again features a man clad in black speaking in a British accent, as well as a threat to another hostage. The new potential victim is Peter Kassig, a former American soldier who became an aid worker. - RUDY CHINCHILLA

Fourth ISIS victim beheaded

EDWARD SULLIVAN Assistant Vice President for Institutional Research “The biggest thing in what it does is it provides that layer of access and immediacy where you can actually do something to reach out and touch a student and make a difference in their lives... so it’s accelerated the level of contact possible by faculty and staff to help students succeed,” Sullivan said.

Course redesign efforts also owe their start, in part, to Sullivan. The efforts were faculty-led, he said, but the fact that Sullivan was able to provide information on the efforts put CSUF ahead of the pack for access to funding provided by the Chancellor’s Office for course redesign. Some faculty have since elected to change the way their courses are delivered, providing materials ahead of time and video taping lectures. Others have begun hosting virtual science laboratories. The Political Science Department in particular has transitioned to using a model that requires reporting a final project in a large town hall style meeting. “Any time you talk about course redesign, at least here at Fullerton, it’s the faculty that are making the difference, it’s not folks like myself,” Sullivan said. Sullivan’s humble approach to the important work that he leads is an attribute that is well admired by CSUF Provost Jose Cruz, who has worked closely with Sullivan since December 2012. According to Cruz, Sullivan’s accomplishments are too many to list, and he expects Sullivan to impact how campuses and the Chancellor’s Office interact on issues like fund allocation and compliance issues.

A Huntington Beach man who was beaten Friday night in the Angel Stadium parking lot is in critical condition, according to Anaheim police. The 43-year-old victim was walking with a relative at approximately 10:30 p.m. when he was attacked by three men for no apparent reason. The male relative was not injured during the incident, and the victim was transported to a nearby hospital. There were no weapons involved in the attack, nor is there any evidence to suggest that the attack was due to fan rivalry, according to Anaheim Police Lt. Bob Dunn. Both parties were allegedly wearing Angels attire. - RUDY CHINCHILLA

Five killed, one injured in crash Five teenagers were killed and a sixth seriously injured in a car crash early Saturday morning after the car they were travelling in veered off Interstate 5 in Irvine. The car went up an embankment and came to a stop on top of a concrete retaining wall, at which point the vehicle caught fire. The bodies of the five passengers were found in the car after firefighters extinguished the flames. The driver of the vehicle, 16-yearold Bradley Morales, was found outside the car and taken to CHOC Children’s at Mission Hospital, where he underwent neurosurgery. He is currently in serious but stable condition. - RUDY CHINCHILLA

NEWS Council hopefuls have final debate

Last debate before election sees candidates address housing costs, city services

JAMIE CORPUZ Daily Titan The League of Women Voters of North Orange County (LWVNOC) hosted the second Fullerton City Council debate last Thursday as seven candidates contend for the two seats. Candidate Larry Bennett, who formerly served on the City of Fullerton Planning Commission, was asked how he would prioritize the needs of homeowners, renters and business owners. “I think we need to be fair and equitable to all and I hope that all those who rent, those who buy and those who run businesses would be good neighbors to each other,” Bennett said. The other candidates seemed to agree that ranking or prioritizing the needs of these groups was not the best way to govern. Sean Paden, also formerly of the Planning Commission, reminded the audience that citizens drive the same streets and contribute taxes whether they own, rent or run businesses. Jane Rands, co-founder of the Police Oversight Proposal Committee and member of the Downtown Core and Corridors Specific Plan Advisory Committee, said affordability was an issue more worthy of citizen concern. With several new building projects in the works, she said she worried that new housing costs are pricing residents out of the market. The starting cost for many of Fullerton’s new building projects was about $650,000, Rands said. High cost of housing

could price college students out of Fullerton homes, Rands said, and she worries that the new developments will push local businesses out as well. The outsourcing of city services was brought up when an audience member asked incumbent mayor pro tem Greg Sebourn about the the city’s graffiti hotline being located in Las Vegas. The service, Sebourn said, has both improved the time frame for graffiti clean up and increased the convenience for residents by providing an app that

allows citizens to submit photos and service requests mobily. Mayor Doug Chaffee, who is running for reelection, also touted the benefits of the Las Vegas company. The service came highly recommended by other cities that use it, and Chaffee noted that though the hotline service is in Las vegas, the graffiti removers are based in Fullerton. Rands was the first to denounce the use of the service. She said city service jobs should support local economies and employ local citizens. Candidate Rick

Alvarez, currently serving on the Planning Commission, seconded her statement, saying he was all for bringing the graffiti hotline to Orange County. Paden responded by noting that public sector unions arguing for higher wages price themselves out of the market. “If there’s someone who is local who can do the job for the same price and provide the same service, then when the contract is up, we can use them,” Paden said. Less than a week remains to register to vote in the upcoming Nov. 4 elections.

Mirror Vissions Ensemble are performing Concert à la carte Tuesday in the Recital Hall

AMBER UDDIN Daily Titan When people think of classical or opera music, they usually think of tragedy, suspense and romance, not a step-by-step tuna casserole recipe. The Mirror Visions Ensemble, a vocal chamber ensemble, is doing just that by bringing beautiful music and stirring audiences’ appetites with sprinklings of comedy. Concert à la carte is a journey through several musical pieces that cover everything from choosing ingredients, to menus and recipes, to supporting sustainable food. The performance allows the musicians to indulge their “foodie” inclinations and bring the audience along with them as they revel in all of the many pleasures of dining. The trio brings a strong comedic element that echoes throughout the lively and engaging performance. “Fresh warm bread. What is there like fresh, warm bread? With a bit of butter spread,” they sing in the song “Bread” from The

Baker’s Wife by Stephen Schwartz. Highlighted in the performance are the works of artists like Samuel Barber, Christopher Berg, William Bolcom and Cole Porter, to name a few.

The ensemble consists of renown singers Vira Slywotzky (soprano), Scott Murphree (tenor), and Jesse Blumberg (baritone). Accompaniment for the ensemble is provided by composer Richard Pearson

Thomas (piano), Naho Parrini (violin) and Alberto Parrini (cello). The trio will perform at Cal State Fullerton as well as teach a master’s class where students and those who are interested

in the performing arts can learn more from the experts and participate in a discussion. Mirror Visions seeks to capture and recreate the atmosphere of the salon and soiree of the 19th century.

And just like the salons of that time, there is a bit of philosophy involved as well. One of the musical numbers, “Clean Plates Don’t Lie,” is based on the menus and philosophy of renowned chef Dan Barber, originator of the farm-totable movement. Barber’s principles have changed the way many Americans approach farming and food, and they use art as a vehicle for explaining the relationship and furthering the important conversation of food and sustainability, according to their website. The ensemble will perform Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall. Tickets cost $13 with Titan Discount, $15 for general public and there is still available seating. For more information or to purchase tickets online, visit the Clayes Performing Arts Center website. For anyone looking for a fun night out or wanting to improve their cooking skills, this performance is sure to bring a lighthearted night of fun and music. With all the talk of fresh warm bread and sorbets, attendees might want to make dinner reservations ahead of time.

Local record label to host first art exhibit

Pop^Up Art U.S. Tour stops at Burger Records Fullerton shop for a one-day exhibit

TROI MCADORY Daily Titan In a store that screams vintage with a plethora of boxed vinyl and cassette tapes, Burger Records has continued to stay strong and bring music to people in a way that is both interesting and nostalgic. To highlight the more artistic views of the store, the Fullerton record store will host its first art exhibit, featuring artist Zox, who did a lot of cover art for musicians back in the ‘70s. The exhibit will take place Tuesday at 4 p.m. Store manager Sean Bohrman was in a band called Thee Makeout Party! at the time he and fellow bandmate Lee Rickard started the label Burger Records in 2007. With the help of friend Brian Flores, the store with the same name was born two years later. The name Burger Records was inspired by the contributors’ desire to have a name that embodied a piece of American culture, but on a

global scale. “It’s just something Americana, easily recognizable around the world,” Bohrman said. Bohrman used his 401k money to help finance the store and he made sure every dollar was used to build his dream record store. He had quit his previous job in search of something more fulfilling, and he decided to go on tour. “Before I left, I was like well what am I gonna do for money now,” Bohrman said. “So I moved back into my parents’ house and I decided to start a record store because it had been a dream of mine forever.” The store emphasizes every part of that dream. The walls are painted lime green with various pieces of art scattered on them. There is a couch in the back next to a turntable, and the racks where the music sits are handcrafted by Bohrman. Even the employees love working there, which makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Bobby May, who has been working with Bohrman since the early stages, before there was a store,

has always been one of the band’s and Bohrman’s biggest supporters. Now with so much hard work and dedication, the store just celebrated its fifth anniversary on Friday and will be recognized for its affinity for artwork through the artist Zox. “He is an artist who worked with Tom Petty, worked with Shelter Records in the ‘70s,” Bohrman said. “We met him through Dwight Twilley, who was a rock ’n’ roll star in the 1970s.” Burger Records released one of Twilley’s albums a few years ago called Green Blimp. Bohrman is looking forward to the art exhibit because it is the first time they’ve ever done one and they got a lot of positive feedback when they posted it on the Internet. The artwork from Zox will be a bundle of his work from over the years, including work he’s done for some of Bohrman’s favorite artists like Twilley. Bohrman has high hopes for the exhibit and plans to have a big turnout like previous Burger Records events.

OPINION

Invisibility is no longer a superpower thanks to new tech As a kid, I loved playing the “would you rather” game. It often ended with a heated debate over the game’s most asked hypothetical: Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible? I always chose invisibility, and if the technology pans out, I might never have to make that choice again. A recent development from the University of Rochester has advanced the progress of turning the power of invisibility into a reality. What was once confined to the pages of science fiction and comic books looks like it will become scientific fact. It’s definitely a worthy technology to pursue and should be developed further. John Howell, professor of physics at the University of Rochester, and Joseph Choi, a graduate student at the university, developed the new cloaking device, a significant improvement on previous technologies. Unlike previous cloaking devices, Howell and

Choi’s version can cloak an object at angles up to 15 degrees or more, according to the academic journal Optics Express. “There’ve been many high tech approaches to cloaking, and the basic idea behind these is to take light and have it pass around something as if it isn’t there, often using high-tech or exotic materials,” Howell said in an interview with the University of Rochester Newscenter. By avoiding more complex elements and only using four standard lenses, they were able to create a device that allowed an object to remain hidden even if the viewer moves a few degrees. This is a notable improvement on a technology which previously could only cloak an object that was straight ahead. The technique they used is known as ABCD matrices, which describe the different ways light bends when passing through lenses, mirrors and other devices. This method of cloaking is simple and inexpensive, a combination of words that should be

used more when talking about science. Scientific endeavors should not have to be synonymous with the words “money draining.” Howell and Choi’s Rochester cloak is so inexpensive that they’ve released DIY instructions for the public to replicate if they desire. The best part is,

“

a “metascreen.” Their method was barely micrometres thick and could “hide 3-D objects from microwaves in their natural environment, in all directions and from all of the observer’s positions.” They went a different route and received different results. In 2012, engineers at Stan-

it’ll only set you back $100. “This is the first device that we know of that can do 3-D continuously multidirectional cloaking, which works for transmitting rays in the visible spectrum,” Choi said in an interview with the University of Rochester Newscenter. In 2013, researchers from the University of Texas had their own cloaking method, which used what they called

“

ford and the University of Pennsylvania used “plasmonic cloaking,” which created a device that can “see without being seen.” It uses silicon nanowires covered by a thin cap of gold. The team worked with nanoscale physics in mind where “reflected light from the two materials cancel each other to make the device invisible.” Other attempts at cloaking

objects fail to keep the background exact enough that the viewer can’t detect something fishy is going on. For earning the title of being a truly invisible object, it has to be so. This Rochester method, however, leaves the background intact by making sure the lens type and power are precise. Their multidirectional “perfect paraxial” cloak uses four lenses and it leaves the background that is visible to the viewer the same in color, spacing, shifts and magnification. While the Rochester method seems to be on the right track, it’s important that different people approach the same idea so that there can be a variety of methods that could possibly produce the same results. I am glad there have been different attempts at cloaking objects because it gives it a better chance of someone getting it right. The benefit with this cloaking method is that it can be scaled up to as large as whatever the size of the lenses could be. Some might wonder what application cloaking

could have, but Howell mentions a possible scenario such as allowing a surgeon to “look through his hands to what he is actually operating on.” Another idea that Choi had was allowing truck drivers to be able to see blind spots. “I imagine this could be used to cloak a trailer on the back of a semi-truck so the driver can see directly behind him. It can be used for surgery, in the military, in interior design, art,” Choi said. This means that some larger objects would be able to be cloaked, and while other devices only work for specific frequencies, this method works for the entire visible spectrum of light. This method is not perfect, but it is a step forward at least. The idea of full blown invisibility the way we know from television and comic-books would be a huge step forward for the science world. Particularly for military applications, there is some good and some bad of what could come from such technology in the future, but regardless there needs to be progress.

Saturday morning cartoons put to rest The rise of cable and Netflix thankfully brought Saturday morning cartoons to an end

JAMES SMITH Daily Titan Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? Those words have never rang more true than this weekend, which saw the demise of Saturday morning cartoons. The CW, the last of the broadcast channels to air Saturday morning cartoons, pulled the plug on their cartoon block “The Vortexx” this Saturday, eliminating the format entirely since its creation in the 1960s. The end of Saturday morning programing needed to happen. With the rise of cable, Netflix and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, the broadcast medium was an outdated one that needed to make way for the regulation-free, endless streaming of the Internet. Even though the demise of Saturday morning cartoons was painfully predictable, it is nonetheless tragic for the ubiquitous bit of childhood nostalgia lost. The end of Saturday morning cartoons means the end to a sacred ritual observed by generations of children. No more will tired-eyed kids pry themselves out of bed early Saturday morning and, fueled by sugary cereals and chocolate milk, binge on episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Freakazoid or Pokémon. Gone is the elementary school

watercooler talk that comes with everyone watching the same programing. The decline of Saturday morning cartoons has been a long time coming. Weekend news programs and teen comedies like Saved by the Bell in the early ‘90s were some of the first programs to replace Saturday morning cartoons. By 2008, FOX had dropped their Saturday cartoons, according to a New York Times report. The FCC also played a hand in the death of weekend cartoons. During the same Saved by the Bell era, the FCC started to enforce their three hours of educational content rule. A rule that forced broadcast channels to air at least three hours of content that serves the educational and informational needs of children as a significant purpose. Along with the rise of kid-centric cable networks such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, Saturday morning cartoons were well into their death throe by the early 2000s. In early 2003, viewership of cartoons had dropped to two million, compared to the 20 million viewers of the ‘70s and ‘80s, according to Animated World Network. While the medium may be dead, cartoon lovers can take solace in the fact that the quality and availability of cartoons has dramatically improved in recent years. Orange County Register TV critic Michael Hewitt believes that cartoons have never been better. “In truth, cartoons for kids are at their peak.

MIKE TRUJILLO / DAILY TITAN

The CW’s cartoon block “The Vortexx” is being replaced by “One Magnificent Morning”, a five-hour block of non-animated shows meant for teens and their families.

They’re far superior visually to the cheap productions of the past, and generally have much smarter scripts,” Hewitt wrote in a

entertainment article last week. “Saturday morning cartoons have never been better.” Like so many other

entertainment mediums, Saturday morning cartoons outgrew their platform. With online companies and networks like Netflix,

Hulu and Cartoon Network now in control of kids cartoons, just like their viewers even mediums need to grow up at some point.

Senior Marc Fenelus and the Titans offense continued to struggle in their first two Big West matches, despite entering conference play on a four-game winning streak which produced nine Titan goals.

Men’s soccer win streak ends

Titans struggle to score against their first two Big West Conference opponents

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan After a two-week stretch of flawless play by the Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team, it appears reality has set in for the Titans as they began Big West Conference play. CSUF dropped its first two conference matches to UC Davis and Sacramento State by scores of 3-1 and 1-0, respectively. After an undefeated fourgame stretch that saw the Titans outscore their opponents 9-4, Fullerton was able to notch only one goal against their conference foes. Big West play began Thursday, where the Titans headed to Davis to take on the undefeated Aggies on their home turf. UC Davis ran out to an early lead in just the 16th minute, when junior Lucas Mohageg scored his third goal of the season on a header off of a throw-in. The shot just crept by Titans goalkeeper David Rodriguez Elias. The rest of the first half remained relatively calm, as the Titans got off just two

shots compared to the Aggies’ five. However, UC Davis again went on the offensive in the 58th minute, scoring their second goal, this time off the foot of Kyle Higgins. His first goal of the year came from 30 yards out, where he was able to loop the shot over the head of Elias. CSUF was able to pull

within one score of the Aggies in the 65th minute after a handball in the box was called on a UC Davis defender, giving the Titans a penalty kick. Senior Ian Ramos took the shot and fired the ball inside the right post to bring the score to 2-1. The final goal for UC Davis came from Justin Kitts in the 90th minute to

effectively put the game out of reach. On Saturday, the Titans traveled to Sacramento State to take on the Hornets in what would turn out to be a much more competitive match for CSUF. Sacramento State and CSUF played two halves of scoreless soccer before the golden goal came off the foot of senior Chimdum Mez in

the second overtime to send the Titans home on a sour note. Fullerton fell to 1-2-2 in overtime matches this season with the loss. The most frustrating aspect of the game could be the amount of opportunities that the Titans had to win the game. Fullerton held an astonishing 22-9 shot advantage in the match, but

couldn’t capitalize when it counted. The Titans also had 11 shots on goal, but Hornets goalie James Del Curto played a lights-out game to keep Fullerton off the board. Elias played another solid match in between the pipes for the Titans, but unfortunately, he was outdueled by his counterpart from Sacramento State. CSUF returns to action Thursday night when they take on the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos at Titan Stadium. The Titans will also host Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Saturday night as they look to improve from their difficult start to Big West play. UCSB enters play tied for first place in the Big West North division with a record of 6-3-1 and a 2-0 mark in conference play. Cal Poly SLO currently sits in fourth place in the North with a 0-0-1 mark in the conference, but an impressive 5-2-3 mark overall. Fullerton’s four-game winning streak to end September proved that the Titans can play with anyone, but their inconsistency needs to end soon if there is to be any hope for a conference crown in 2014.

W Soccer: Titans roll in Big West play CONTINUED FROM

Sophomore midfielder Storm Kenui fired the first shot off the crossbar in the 49th minute and Pascua eluded Titan defenders and hit the post in the 58th minute. In the 69th minute, the Rainbow Wahine defense was whistled for a foul, setting up a free kick for senior Brianna Chapman. Chapman hit the ball over the Hawaii defense and found Wilson at the back post. Wilson’s header bounced by Young. It was Wilson’s second two-goal game of the season. The Rainbow Wahine outshot the Titans 20-10 for the match and 13-6 in the second half. CSUF leads the all-time series against Hawaii 8-2

and it was the 10th time this season that a Titan game was decided by one goal or less. After the comeback win, the Titans traveled back to the mainland to take on the UC Davis Aggies Sunday. The Aggies entered the game with a 3-7-2 record and had tied their last two games against Pacific and UC Riverside, respectively. Davis jumped on the Titans early. In the ninth minute, junior Lauren Paul scored the first goal of her career to give the Aggies a 1-0 lead. The Aggies would hold on to that lead for 77 minutes despite being outshot 14-8 by the Titans. CSUF also had a 9-2 edge in corner kicks. In the 86th minute,

Aggie defender Maggie McKeegan was given a yellow card in the box. Wilson took the penalty kick for the Titans and put it past one of the Big West’s top goalkeepers, Taylor Jern, to tie the game at one. The tied score held up, and the Titans are now 0-53 in overtime games. “This was a great weekend for the program,” Head Coach Demian Brown said in an interview with Fullertontitans.com. “To earn four points on opening weekend of our very difficult conference is a major achievement. Rebecca Wilson was a major factor in our success. She carried the team well this weekend.” The Titans return to Titan Stadium Thursday to host Big West rival Long Beach State.

Volleyball gets swept at Hawaii Titans still have never beaten the Rainbow Wahine, falling to 0-32 in the all-time series

KATHERINE PICAZO Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team got swept 3-0 Friday night by the No. 24 ranked Hawaii Rainbow Wahine at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

Titans have strong showing in Kansas The cross-country teams placed third and fourth overall at the Rim Rock Farm Classic

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s and women’s cross-country teams continued their consistent 2014 campaign Saturday with a strong showing at the Rim Rock Farm Classic in Kansas. This was the Titans’ first ever appearance in the event, where the men placed third overall and the women finished in fourth. Rice University swept both the men’s and women’s invitational races, dominating their competition on both ends. The men’s Owl team finished with five of the top 25 runners in competition, while their women’s squad had the top three finishers. The best individual time of the 8k course was won by Kansas University’s

Jacob Morgan, who crossed the finish line at 24:30.05. Rice’s Keli Roper led the trio of Owls on the women’s end, taking the 6k individual title at 21:35.1, while her teammates Madi McLellan and Katie Jensen rounded out the top three with times of 21:40.2 and 21:58, respectively. The Titan men finished just one point shy of second-place finisher University of Nebraska-Kearney, which finished the competition with 76 points. CSUF sophomore Danny Ramirez finished 10th with a season-best time of 25:14.0 in the 8k. Sophomores David Ramirez and Jose Penaloza were the next highest finishers for CSUF, finishing 18th and 19th with times of 25:32.1 and 25:32.9, respectively. Four Titan men finished in the top-30 overall. The Fullerton women’s team was paced by eighthplace finisher Emily Taylor, who crossed with a

time of 22:25.5 in the course. Junior Ana Valdovinos was the next finisher for the Titans, finishing 25th overall with a 23:07.2 mark. Anaheim native Arianna Fuentes concluded the event with a 34th place finish with a time of 23:18.9. Overall, six Titan women finished in the top-50 of the invitational. The Titans will get a much-needed week off before heading to Riverside for the Highlander Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 18. This will be the first of two visits to the Riverside course during the 2014 season for the Titans. Fullerton will hope to build off of their strong showing in Kansas as they take on some local opponents once again. With the Big West Championships looming on Nov. 1, this will be the last opportunity for CSUF runners to qualify for the prestigious conference event.
