Despite a tough start early in the year for CSUF, they were able to bounce back against two of the top foes in their conference and earn key points in the Southern Division of the Big West Conference.
Men’s soccer takes two straight The Titans avenged two early Big West losses with a pair of wins over conference foes
RUDY CHINCHILLA Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team earned a pair of victories over the weekend against UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. CSUF started the weekend slate against UCSB on Thursday, earning a 2-0 victory against the Gauchos. For the Titans, it was important to set the tone of the game quickly on home turf, having lost their first two conference matches on the road. “A lot of the games we had this season were away, so the whole team was just so excited to play in front of a huge crowd at our own home stadium,” said
right-back Alex Cannas. The Titans fashioned their first shot on goal only three minutes into the match when Garrett Losee received the ball inside the Gauchos’ box and fired from 16 yards. However, UCSB goalkeeper Brandon Berke was equal to the effort and punched the ball away. The Titans got the breakthrough goal in the 41st minute when Cannas delivered a long throw-in into the Gauchos’ box. Forward Nigel Patterson flicked on to an unmarked Robert Coronado, who rifled home from six yards. The goal was the freshman’s first of his collegiate career. “I didn’t know what to do to celebrate, so I thought, ‘I’m just gonna run to the corner; everybody, come to me,’” Coronado said.

0 Fullerton kept up the pressure, employing a very high back line and keeping play within the Santa Barbara half of the pitch. However, the defense started to wane in the later stages of the game, allowing for more Gaucho attacks. “We’ve got to be better in the last five minutes, and we’ll work on that, but in the past we were a team that would panic,” said Head Coach George Kuntz.
2 However, the team did not panic against UCSB and they managed to secure their second goal in the 81st minute. In the 81st minute, Titan midfielder Spencer Johnson fired from 25 yards. His shot evaded a diving Berke and rattled the underside of the crossbar, before bouncing back onto the turf behind the grounded Berke. SEE M SOCCER

Pushing students to get to the polls ASI to hold registration rally and election day event to celebrate democratic process
LAUREN GAMACHE Daily Titan The California general election is less than a month away and campus organizations are in full swing, motivating students to make a stop at a polling station on Nov. 4. Midterm elections have historically had a much lower turnout than presidential
election years. In 2010, the most recent midterm election, 20 percent fewer voters (36.7 percent) cast ballots than in 2008 (57.1 percent), the year Barack Obama was elected president. In 2012, turnout shot back up to 53.7 percent for Obama’s reelection, according to the Pew Research Center. To combat that trend, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) is working to register students to vote and encouraging them to cast a ballot.

The French Soiree Vocal Workshop will give Cal State Fullerton students the opportunity to take a trip through French history. More than a dozen different students will perform renditions of French songs from the 1700s, 1800s and 1900s at the event which will take place at 8 p.m. on Tuesday at the Recital Hall in the Clayes Performing Arts Center. The performance will make its way through the French Enlightenment, when thinkers reigned supreme, then move along to the era where romanticism was the most popular literary movement across Europe. The audience will get to hear the sounds that represented those periods and enjoy the music of French composers Nicolas Bernier,
Francis Poulenc and Reynaldo Hahn. The workshop is one of the first recitals for vocal students for the semester. Mark J. Goodrich, Ph.D., associate professor of music at CSUF said students have been practicing on a weekly basis to perfect the songs they’ve chosen to recite. The students learned French diction, musical phrasing and interpretation and have been meeting with composer and musician Mark Robson to accomplish those goals with their chosen songs, Goodrich said. Joe Dhanens, music graduate student, will be performing a group of songs as part of Poulenc’s interpretation of Le Béstiare, ou Cortège d’Orphée, a collection of poems by Italian-born Guillaume Apollinaire. Apollinaire moved to Paris as a young man and was part of the blossoming cubist art movement. SEE RECITAL
