‘Is He Dead?’ to open in The Young Comedic adaptation of a Mark Twain play directed by former CSUF professor opens Friday

BRITTANEY CARPENTER Daily Titan Mark Twain’s play Is He Dead? will be performed by Cal State Fullerton students beginning Saturday and will run for three sequential weekends, totaling 13 showings. The play is adapted for a modern stage by playwright David Ives. Is He Dead? is a comedic play involving a man who escapes debt by faking his death and then creates a better life for himself by surviving under the alias of his long-lost twin sister, who does not exist. Directed by Joseph Arnold, the former dean of the College of the Arts who retired this past summer, the play has received notable instruction. Arnold achieved a successful directing and acting career before teaching at CSUF. He started out his career as an actor, and after 20 years went on to direct two plays at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and an off-Broadway show at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York. His favorite play that he was involved with was titled Grasmere. While the behind-thescenes work is done by student producers and designers, Arnold considers himself the “point-person,” being held responsible for overseeing costume and set design, rehearsals and casting. Balancing the play with other aspects of life is not always easily manageable. “It’s always a challenge, I

Incubating student innovation New Center for Innovation will help CSUF entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground

CESAR GAMBOA Daily Titan Burgeoning entrepreneurs at Cal State Fullerton will get a boost in growing their ideas from the new Center for Innovation, a business “incubator” that will provide resources to growing companies. In an effort to provide coaching and support for students with innovative business concepts, John Bradley Jackson, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship, proposed the idea three years ago to the Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics. The Placentia-based

incubator allows ideas from multiple fields—business, engineering, arts and sciences—to have the opportunity to grow beyond a narrow audience. Ideas for software programs, devices and technology-based businesses designed to be sold to the masses will be favored, Jackson said. Students can submit their ideas through an application process that will allow them to use the facility located in Placentia. “It gives a place to get together physically and to help startups get going,” said Mike Ames, volunteer Chair of the Advisory Board and founder of the Center for Entrepreneurship. “The tone of this is distinctively CSUF,

technology and iPhones and iPads and everything else, much of it is still done the old-fashioned way, it’s very labor intensive.”

Arnold receives much assistance and feedback regarding the play and its actors from assistant director Tim Alexander. Beginning his

fifth year at Cal State Fullerton as a fine arts-acting major, Alexander has been cast in seven plays since his freshman year, and decided to try

The theme of this year’s Marketing Week is “Get Evolved,” a play on words with the expression that “the key to professional growth is to get involved,” Mitri said. Each day focuses on a different subject, with

events dedicated to exploring topics like social media and how to dress professionally. The subjects fall under various themes, with a new theme for each day— engage, entice, emerge and empower. Each theme was chosen because it represents an aspect of getting involved. SEE MARKETING

A rape that occurred three years ago was reported to University Police last week, according to University Police Capt. John Brockie. The rape was reported to have happened in the Pine residence hall on Sept. 24, 2011. The incident was classified as a rape by force, fear, etc. It is unknown whether the victim is male or female. The incident is currently under investigation, said University Police. This report is the third rape reported on campus since 2011, and the only reported rape in 2011. Victims of rape or sexual assault should report the crime to police or contact a rape crisis center right away. Items and clothing should be kept to be used as evidence during a criminal trial. Victims of rape or sexual assault can receive information on reporting the crime from the WoMen’s Center, which acts as a victim advocate center. The center can be reached at (657) 278-3928. Victims can also contact Counseling and Psychological Services at (657) 278-3928. Rape can be confidentially reported to either CAPS or the WoMen’s Center. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

Court ends bans on gay marriage The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down samesex marriage bans on Tuesday in Idaho, Nevada, Alaska, Arizona and Montana, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The U.S. currently has 35 states which allow same-sex couples to marry. Other federal appeals courts are considering upholding the bans that are currently intact in the rest of the states.

School of Music debuts first album Album features student performers and composers to highlight department talent

FRANCISCO REYES Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s School of Music is keeping up its creative tempo with the release of its first-ever album, Sabor!, which blends elements of swing, bebop, progressive rock and Latin music. The album highlights student talent, and features firsttime recordings of multiple groups, said Bill Cunliffe, the album’s director and CSUF music professor. “We wanted to showcase the talents of our students, both in our big bands and our small groups,” Cunliffe said. “It’s our first recording ever of the Latin ensemble and our first recording of the student group, Quarter ‘Til (quintet).” An accomplished producer in his own right, Cunliffe brought in Freda Payne—famous for her 1970 hit single,

Band of Gold—to collaborate with students. He said the album will be Payne’s first big-band remake of her single.

“

I think young people will enjoy this very much because it’s a very exciting and interesting and crazy music.

BILL CUNLIFFE CSUF Music Professor, Director of Sabor! Some of the album’s mainstream elements will help it appeal to a younger audience, Cunliffe said. “One of the highlights of the disc is our extended arrangements of Jimi Hendrix tunes,” he said. “I think young people will enjoy this very much because it’s a very exciting and interesting and crazy music.”

Cunliffe said it was important to include students on the album. “I’m trying to encourage student compositions,” he said. “There are some student compositions on this album.” The album is the culmination of about two years of work, Cunliffe said. Another composition will be in the works in the next few years. Cunliffe said making the album around the busy schedules of student-musicians was a challenge, but money proved to be an even bigger challenge. “We had a fundraising campaign; the students and I raised all the money ourselves to do it,” Cunliffe said. “It’s really a testament to the students’ love of music and their care and their belief in this project.” Sabor! can be purchased in Clayes Performing Arts Center Room 222 for $20. The album will soon be available for download on iTunes.

The American-led bombing campaign carried out five airstrikes, killing ISIS fighters and destroying several tanks and vehicles. Kurdish officials described the attack as the most effective to date. Turkey has not directly intervened in Kobani due to its complicated relationship with the Kurds.

Center: Giving Continue Your ideas room to grow CONTINUED FROM

In addition to the resources provided by the incubator, Jackson plans to help students develop their ideas by providing guidance from veteran coaches and helping them to set milestones for the developing concepts. The incubator has already begun attracting attention, Jackson said. “We already have people knocking on our door,” he said. “We’ve had a faculty member come forward with an interesting application. We have an engineering student who has a device.” The center’s steering committee will be composed of Center for Entrepreneurship board members, community members

and CSUF alumni. The committee will include alumnus Dan Black, a 1967 graduate and major donor. As part of the center’s efforts to reflect the entrepreneurial spirit, each idea will receive a customized process to help it get off the ground, Jackson said. “We’re looking for entrepreneurs with character and ethics because that’s consistent with the goals of the university,” Jackson said. “We’ll do a detailed interview that helps us determine not only the fit within the incubator, but his or her needs and how we might help them. So it’s like a custom support structure.” Ideas will typically spend six months going through the center, where they will be calibrated, reviewed and

prepared for implementation to prove its business model. The resulting steps may include securing funding and tests to collect data from customers. The Center for Entrepreneurship has gathered a network of investors, which will allow the incubator to provide introductions. The program itself, however, does not aid in investing, Jackson said. “It’s going to be a slow process of identifying the right company, the people with character who want to make the world a better place,” Jackson said. “We’re not looking to disrupt, but we’re looking to make measurable improvements to our community to create jobs and to enrich Orange County.”

Members of CSUF’s Center for Autism will host an event that aims to combat the loneliness that can sometimes affect adults with autism.

Universities partner to host autism social Center for Autism event will give adults with autism the chance to meet and socialize

ROSELYNNE REYES Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Autism will host a social for adults with autism and their caregivers on Sunday in the Titan Student Union. This free public event is part of a partnership with Chapman University and UC Irvine and will be the first of three socials this year. Both other universities will host the other two socials in the spring semester. “Sometimes our adults with autism feel isolated in the community. They might not be out with friends, at the movies, they might not be in an educational setting anymore, they might not have a job,” said Center for Autism Co-Director Erica Howell. “The socials aim to allow these students or these adults to come and interact with one another on a college campus, interact with their peers who are college age and have a really, really fun time.” In the fall and spring semesters of last year, the center’s employees volunteered at socials hosted by the Family Autism Network, a Tustin-based community

organization that provides access to resources and support for families affected by autism. The founder of the network later approached the center with the idea of a collaborative social between Chapman University and UC Irvine. “It’s really utilizing our community members, our CSUF students who are integral to the whole process. They’re the ones that bring the fun,” Howell said. “They’re the ones that pair up with our adults with autism, get to know them, make it a really fun day.” The Center for Autism opened in May 2013 and operates under two cores, each housed under its own college. The education core, which is part of the College of Education, focuses on teacher preparation. The applied development core, under the College of Health and Human Development, focuses on research and provides screening and diagnostic assessments. Since it opened, the center has started a variety of programs including No Limits, an eight-week dance program for children with autism who may not have the chance to take creative

classes otherwise, and the Peer Assisted College Support Program, which pairs CSUF students who have autism with fellow students who help them navigate through school. It also began a partnership with Children’s Hospital of Orange County, training oncology medical professionals who treat patients with autism spectrum disorder. The social is free and open to the public, but an RSVP is requested. For more information about the Center for Autism, visit AutismCenter.fullerton.edu. Attendees can RSVP by calling (657) 278-8565. The social will be in the TSU Underground for adults with autism ages 16 and up.

A&E Danish violinist to perform at CSUF

Music professor Hasse Borup and his wife will perform in Meng Concert Hall on Thursday

BRITTANEY CARPENTER Daily Titan The Meng Concert Hall in Clayes Performing Arts Center is being honored with a performance by Hasse Borup and his wife, Kasia, on Thursday from 8-10 p.m. Borup, a native of Denmark, has been playing violin for over 30 years. He attended the Royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen in conjunction with the Guild Hall in London, where he received his Performance Diploma, which is similar to receiving a graduate and undergraduate degree in music all at once. He then attended The Hart School in Connecticut, and finally received a doctorate at the University of Maryland. Borup came to the United States and studied under world-renowned instructors Roland and Almita Vamos, who taught at the Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio. His teaching career has consisted of positions at George Washington University, University of Virginia and University of Utah.

Hasse and Kasia Borup will be performing Thursday in the Meng Concert Hall. Hasse has been playing violin for over 30 years and has taught music as several universities.

This is Borup’s 10th year teaching at University of Utah. His favorite places to perform are ancient churches throughout Europe. They are typically smaller venues, which provide the performance with a more personal feel. As both a teacher and

performer, he considers teaching and performing “essentially inseparable.” “Your performance, your understanding of your craft, is not really fully understood until you start teaching it. It’s an interesting thing. You study and study and study for years and years and years, and

you really have a lot of information stored in you, but it’s kind of an interesting thing, it doesn’t really get fully absorbed until you have to pass on that information and that really seeps into your full aspect of your playing, into your teaching, it’s sort of a self-enforcing cycle,”

Borup said. Kasia Borup also teaches at University of Utah, and will be performing alongside her husband. The two met while Kasia was working as a full-time faculty member at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, when Hasse visited the school to perform

in a recital that the college hosted. “She’s a violinist and a really fantastic teacher and player … she’s running our prep program,” Borup said. “Kasia’s five months pregnant so we’ll actually be three of us on stage.” Cal State Fullerton Professor of Music Ernest Salem studied under some of the same teachers as Borup; Roland and Almita Vamos. Salem and Borup have known each other for two to three years, after meeting at a music competition panel in Las Vegas. The two have set up an exchange system where Borup performs at CSUF, and Salem will visit the University of Utah to perform in the next few months. “We do these kinds of things all the time because it exposes my students to different viewpoints and to other teachers around the country,” Salem said. “I brought in people from a lot of different universities and different institutions from around the country, and then I’ve exchanged to those places too.” Tickets are on sale for $15. Students and senior citizens pay $13 for tickets purchased in advance.

Alexander jumped at the chance to work with Arnold. “He’s such a leader and he has so much artistic and administrative experience that I’m learning more, not only about directing, but about life,” Alexander said. “He’s just such a great mentor.”

“

It’s always a challenge, I think you only really get involved in the theater if you have a genuine passion for it.

“

JOSEPH ARNOLD Director Alexander’s favorite scene of the play is the first appearance of the main character made to look like a woman after faking his death. He prefers this scene for its comedic value, and the amount of skill that went into creating this look by both the makeup artists and costume designers. Alexander says that his laughter was unstoppable. Tickets are priced at $11, but sold for $10 with advance purchase for students, faculty and senior citizens.

YUNEN BONEPARTE / DAILY TITAN

Adapted by David Ives, Is He Dead? is a play originally by Mark Twain that tells the story of an impoverished painter who fakes his own death to get his paintings to sell. After his alleged death he poses as his fake long-lost twin sister.

Renowned concert group Divan Consort will perform Friday with CSUF professor Fureya Unal

SARAH HEMADI For the Daily Titan Music lovers have the chance to attend a concert by the award-winning ensemble Divan Consort. The event is taking place Friday at 8 p.m. in the Meng Concert Hall. The popular group has been performing together since 2009 and has performed at several venues all over the world. They played at the Previews Concert Series in Manhattan Beach, The Nixon Library and Live at the Lounge in Hermosa Beach as a winner of the Beverly Hills Auditions. This will be their first concert of their sixth season. It will include works from artists like

Ken Walicki and Dmitri Shostakavich. Turkish pianist Fureya Unal is the founder of the group and plays the piano in the ensemble. Unal has been playing piano since she was 3 years old and is currently an instructor of music at Cal State Fullerton. Other members include Rachel Mellis, Mira Khormik and Charlie Tyler. Mellis will be playing flute, Khomik will play the violin and Tyler will be on cello. Their composer-in-residence, Ken Walicki, garnered a silver medal in 2012 for his groundbreaking work of art Refuge which reflects Buddhist themes. It is a multilayered piece that manipulates the music and gives it a deeper intonation by using computers. His music is considered humorous and a great

commentary on the times we are currently living in. Some of Walicki’s favorite musicians and inspirations include: Ligeti, Zorn, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Public Enemy and Duran Duran. Walicki’s music has been played all over the world by The Kronos Quartet, The New Century Saxophone Quartet, The Soldier String Quartet, The New York Philharmonic, The Los Angeles Symphony, The Detroit Symphony and The Pacific Symphony. Walicki is currently an associate professor of music here at Cal State Fullerton. Divan Consort will perform Friday at 8 p.m. Tickets for the concert are $15 for the general public and $13 for students. They can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office.

Divan Consort will be performing their first concert of their sixth season on Friday in the Meng Concert Hall. The ensemble contains CSUF instructors Fureya Unal and Ken Walicki.

Orchestra plans local and international concerts BRITTANEY CARPENTER Daily Titan The University Symphony Orchestra is performing on Oct. 12 from 4-6 p.m. in the Meng Concert Hall at Clayes Performing Arts Center. Their main piece will be the New World Symphony, created by Czech composer Antonin Dvorak. The orchestra is lead by Professor Kimo Furumoto, who has taught for 12 years at CSUF. He received his undergraduate degree from

Chapman University and then went on to complete his graduate degree in orchestral conducting at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Despite his passion for conducting, Furumoto initially discovered his love of music when he was 12 years old as a violinist. “I enjoy both, but conducting is the thing that I do all the time,” Furumoto said. “And in addition to conducting the student orchestra at the School of Music here at Cal State Fullerton, I also still work with a professional orchestra in West Virginia.” Furumoto is not the only successful member

to be involved with the orchestra. Several successful alumni have emerged from the program, such as clarinettist Drew Sullivan, who went onto play with the Cleveland Orchestra.

formed at the Schlern International Music Festival in Italy. She has also toured Germany and Spain with her cello professor.

“I think what I’ve learned most from traveling and performing is just meeting a lot of musicians from all around the world,” Balderrama said. “Music is a very universal language, so you can be a cellist from Southern California and still be able to perform in a chamber group, let’s say a string trio, with a violinist from Belgium and a pianist from China. And so it’s really cool that music can kind of bridge across language even though you can’t necessarily understand someone, you can actually make music with them,” she said. The orchestra will tour

Paris next summer with the university choir, with one of their performances being held at the Church of Madeline, where many famous French composers have worked. One such composer was Gabriel Faure, whose Requiem will be performed by the orchestra at the church in which the piece was premiered. Furumoto will be directing and conducting the performance. Tickets for the symphony’s show on Saturday can be purchased at the Clayes Performing Arts Center box office for $15, or $13 for students, faculty and senior citizens with advance purchase.

Ebola demands better airport security The U.S. government is not taking enough precaution against the Ebola outbreak

TROI MCADORY Daily Titan The deadly Ebola outbreak has now made its way from Africa to the continental United States. No longer is it just another infection in some distant country, but an immediate concern. Due to the lethalness and absence of a cure for Ebola, visas and flights between Africa and the United States need to be restricted. Thomas Eric Duncan, the Texas resident who is infected with Ebola and brought it into the U.S., has brought attention to how easy the virus can be transferred to the U.S. Currently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are checking people for fevers before leaving West Africa because they want to prevent incidents like Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case. If travelers have a fever of 101.5 degrees and higher, or are suspected to be ill, they will be taken aside for further examination and questioning. This test will determine if the person needs to be isolated or not, according to a press release from the White House Office of Press Secretary on Monday. However, this is not enough.

Symptoms of the virus can appear from two to almost 20 days after exposure and symptoms include sudden onset of fever fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat, according to the Word Health Organization(WHO). Is a relatively arbitrary number the best defense we have against Ebola? The virus, which was first reported in West Africa in March of this year, has now spread to five countries in the region: Nigeria, Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Of those five countries, Liberia currently holds the highest number of deaths and infections; with a known 3,834 cases and 2,069 deaths. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are the countries the U.S. government is most concerned about due to their high number of cases and deaths. The fact that there are over 2,000 deaths from Ebola in one country shows the gravitas of the situation. The White House has created four key goals it wants to accomplish since the disease has entered America, according to the same White House press release. They plan on controlling the disease at the source, lessening second-order impacts like the economy, strengthening global health security and engaging with

a wider global audience. Hopefully these four points will be enough to effectively keep Ebola from spreading and causing a pandemic. Isolating those who are already infected is the best form of protection for those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in contact. Despite President Barack Obama taking proactive

measures to ensure American safety is at the top of his priorities, the actions are not enough. Among those measures, 350 U.S. military personnel and 150 civilian and disaster experts from various U.S. government departments have been stationed in Africa to help aid the country. While sending

more experienced medical professionals to the region is a step in the right direction, more effort should be taken to improve the screening of patients getting on planes in Africa. The standards and quality of those officials most likely do not meet the requirements of the U.S. Africa and diseases are

normally stories American media portray as peripheral news that rarely has any real impact on us. With Ebola now present in the U.S., and the failure to prevent Duncan from entering the country, the White House and CDC need to take more drastic measures in preventing the virus from entering the country.

Fullerton has gotten off to a brutal start in conference play, beginning the season with three of the Big West’s top teams. CSUF will face off with Cal Poly SLO and UCSB as they look to get back on track.

Titans in search of first conference win CSUF is looking to get more consistent offense against some lesser Big West teams

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team returns to Titan Gym this weekend for a pair of conference matches against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and UC Santa Barbara. The Titans are on a fourgame losing streak in which they haven’t won a single set. Their last win came against Georgetown in the Fullerton Classic on Sept. 20. The scoring woes began at the final game of the Fullerton Classic tournament

against No. 15 UCLA. CSUF was swept in that match and only scored 12 points in the third set against the tall Bruin blockers. In their following match, No. 20 Cal State Northridge had 10 blocks against the Titan offense. Fullerton failed to score over 15 points in any set against rival Long Beach State and no Titan player has had double-digit kills in their last two games. Fortunately for the Titans, the schedule lightens up a little bit this weekend. Three of their last four matches have been against teams ranked in the top-20 in the nation. Cal Poly SLO is not the same high-caliber opponent

that the Titans have played in the past three weeks. The Mustangs enter play with a 6-7 record and a 1-2 mark in Big West play. They are coming off a four-set victory against UC Riverside. Freshman outside hitter Raeann Greisen had 18 kills in that match and fellow freshman Savannah Niemen had a career-high 14 kills. Greisen is sixth in the conference in kills per set with 3.42. Junior libero Nicole Kessler is the team’s leader in digs. Her 4.42 digs per set are ranked second in the Big West and she had an impressive 22 digs against UCR. The Titans’ last Big

West win came against Cal Poly SLO on Nov. 23 last season. In that match, the Titans had a .328 hitting percentage and five service aces. After facing Cal Poly SLO, CSUF will take on a tough UC Santa Barbara squad Saturday night. The Gauchos are 7-7 on the season and are coming off a three-set loss to UC Davis. They had a dreadful .020 hitting percentage in that match and had 21 errors. Much like the Titans, UCSB has had trouble scoring in conference play. The two teams are at the bottom of the Big West in kills per set during conference play.

The Gauchos are managing 11.27 kills per set, while Fullerton is managing just 10.78. UCSB has a balanced offensive attack and no player has more than three kills per set. Juniors Britton Taylor and Jaylen Villanueva lead the team in kills per set with 2.78 and 2.77, respectively. The Titans have a somewhat balanced attack as well. Freshman Niki Withers is second in the Big West in kills per set with 3.78, but has just 2.78 kills per set in conference play. Junior Holland Crenshaw has anchored the Titan offense during Big West play with 2.89 kills per set.

Freshman Stephanie Buss has picked up her offense in conference play, posting 13 kills in the three Big West matches. The stagnant offensive play of the Titans is largely due to the challenging conference schedule they have played so far. They have played two of the three reigning Big West co-champions already so far, and played Long Beach State who finished second in 2013. The Titans hope that they can pick up their offensive production now that the schedule softens up a bit. They will need to do so if they want to avoid finishing near the bottom of the Big West standings.

CSUF tennis aiming for strong 2014 campaign Fullerton hopes to have more success against conference foes in the new season

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team began their 2014 season on Friday when they participated in the three-day Beach Tennis Tournament on the campus of Long Beach State. Second-year head coach Dianne Matias returned eight athletes this season from a year ago, including four seniors as well as a new crop of three freshmen. Isabel Donaldson,

Michelle Erasmus and Danielle Pham were the new additions for CSUF to open the season. On day one, sophomores Alexis Valenzuela and Camille De Leon earned victories along with Pham in singles action. Valenzuela returned as the Titans No. 1 option from a year ago, opening play in Singles Flight 1 with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Loyola Marymount’s Eleanor Grossman. De Leon got her 2014 campaign started off on the right foot with a 7-6, 0-6, 7-5 victory in Singles Flight 1 over Air Force’s

Mary Meyer. In her first match with CSUF, Pham edged Portland State’s Megan Govi in Singles Flight 3. The Titans also had an impressive showing in doubles play on Friday, as Valenzuela and Emilia Borkowski defeated a duo from Montana, while the teams of De Leon and Megan Sandford as well as Erasmus and Pham scored victories as well. Fullerton’s success did not continue on Saturday, however, as the Titans failed to win a singles match on the day. To make matters worse,

Valenzuela and De Leon each lost to their rivals from Long Beach State. In fact, CSUF’s only victory Saturday came in the doubles format, where the team of De Leon and Sandford edged out Loyola Marymount 8-6. The Titans’ struggles continued into Sunday, where only Erasmus was able to take down her opponent from LMU. Devin Billingsley, De Leon and Pham were all defeated in their final match of the tournament. De Leon and Sandford kept up their success in doubles, where they again

pulled out a victory over their opponents from Air Force to earn one final Titan victory. Last season, CSUF finished with an overall record of 8-15, which included a 1-7 mark in conference play. Their top performers were easily the freshmen tandem of Valenzuela and De Leon, who kept the Titans afloat in each competition. Valenzuela was named to the Big West Singles First Team for her impressive first-year campaign, becoming the first Titan named to the team since

1989. She finished the year 236, with a 15-4 mark in singles action. De Leon also had a winning record for the Titans, ending the season 13-10 overall and a place on the Big West Doubles Second Team along with partner Morgan McIntosh. Fullerton will rely on this talented pair along with some relatively untested freshmen as they continue on through their 2014 season. The Titans continue action on Oct. 16 when they head to San Diego for the ITA Southwest Regionals.
