Chaffee, Sebourn retain seats JAMIE CORPUZ Daily Titan Mayor Doug Chaffee and Councilman Greg Sebourn beat out five other candidates in elections for Fullerton City Council. Chaffee led Tuesday night by 5 percentage points over second place candidate Sebourn, and by more than seven points over the third place candidate Larry Bennett. Sebourn led over Bennet by 2 percentage points. The other four candidates Jane Rands, Sean Paden, Rick Alvarez and Bill Chaffee trailed behind the three leaders. Rands, the closest in the race, was behind Bennett by over six points. Sebourn plans to continue his focus on the Fullerton police force, he said. “One of the big things that got me interested in running for office was originally the infrastructure, just dealing with it and then later on it was issues within our police department,” Sebourn said. Mayor Chaffee and Mayor Pro-Tem Sebourn were both elected to city council in 2012 during the recall election that expelled Pat McKinley, Don Bankhead and F. Richard Jones in the aftermath of the Kelly Thomas beating. Chaffee has enjoyed the support of recently ousted assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, The Fullerton Observer and the Fullerton Police Officers’ Association. Beyond his mayoral duties, he has practiced law as a business attorney for nearly 40 years. With almost all precincts reporting, Chaffee held 25.8 percent of the votes, Sebourn had 20.1 percent and Bennett garnered 18.2 percent. Rudy Chinchilla contributed to this report.

Kim takes 65th

Republican challenger defeats first-term incumbent in race for state Assembly district which encompasses campus

ROSELYNNE REYES Daily Titan Republican Young Kim defeated Democratic incumbent Sharon Quirk-Silva by over 13 percentage points to take the 65th District in a competitive race for the California Assembly seat, according to firstday results. The race was a pivotal one for the Democrats, as a victory for Kim meant a loss of the supermajority in the state Assembly. Before the midterm election, there were 55 Democrats sitting on the assembly, meaning they had the ability to bring in the 54 votes needed to override any bill without support from Republicans sitting on the assembly. Republicans only needed to gain two seats in this election to break that supermajority. With Kim in the 65th District’s seat, the state GOP is one seat closer to breaking the Democratic majority. The 65th District includes parts of Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, Fullerton, Garden Grove, La Palma and Stanton. Although traditionally Republican, the district was redrawn in 2011 following the passage of Proposition 20, which called for redistricting for the State Senate and Assembly. Now the 65th is one of the most competitive assembly districts in

Dia de los Muertos returns to campus ALEXANDER DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton student organization M.E.Ch.A., hosted their 21st annual Dia de los Muertos event Tuesday. The event lasted all day, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the Quad. Students who participated were treated to free food, music, vendors and activities such as face painting and sugar skull decorating. “This event is to celebrate those who have passed and also to honor,” said Rubi Medina, a fifth year math major. “It also gives us a chance to kind of reflect and not look at death as something negative, more as something to kind of cherish and remember.” Janet Hernandez, a third year business major, said Dia de los Muertos gives the living an opportunity to talk about the dead when there might not be another time or place to do so.

“We preserve and promote the Mexican culture through Mexican folk dance,” said Alex Alegria, a fifth year Spanish major who was one of the performers. Traditional altars were present around the activities, where students could pay homage to loved ones who have passed away. “We’re actually having a competition,” said senior art and history major Analia Cabral. “Whoever has the most original or most interesting altars, they get to win a prize.” Some of these altars highlighted specific cases including the victims of the attacks on women in Juarez, the Palestinians enduring genocide in the Middle East, police brutality and those in the undocumented citizen and LGBT communities who faced acts of hate. “We’re highlighting different aspects politically and culturally of people who have passed away and current things that are

going on,” Cabral said. The event attracted a large and diverse amount of students, including some who joined in on the festivities and others who found themselves there out of curiosity. “We’ve gotten a lot of people coming by, asking

questions and (who are) excited about everything,” Hernandez said. Cabral said the event saw more student participation than in the last few years. Those who were volunteering expressed that the Dia de los Muertos holiday meant a lot to them, due to

its cultural significance. “As Mexicans, we are very close to each other as far as family,” Alegria said . “Whenever a member of a family passes away, we like to keep that tradition of being close to them. So we commemorate our beloved ones on this special day.”

California voters approved propositions providing for a $7.12 billion water bond, an amendment to the state constitution regulating state debt and a sentence reduction for nonviolent drug offenders Tuesday, while denying three other propositions, according to election-night results. The six California propositions were split in half, with Propositions 1, 2 and 47 passing and Propositions 45, 46 and 48 shot down. Local voters also approved Measures I and J, which provide bonds to area high schools and colleges. Voters also approved Measure E, which establishes an ethics commission to enforce Orange County campaign finance rules. Both Propositions 1 and 2 were approved in landslide decisions. Proposition 1 authorizes $7.12 billion in funding, which includes improving water quality, water supply projects, treatment and storage projects and water recycling. Out of all of the California propositions that passed, Proposition 1 requires the most amount of revenue. As of late Tuesday, with 35 percent of precincts reporting, 67.5 percent of voters approved Proposition 1. It is the first water-related proposition since 2006. Proposition 84 passed in 2006 and approved $5.4 million to fund water projects. Proposition 2, known as the rainy-day fund budget, will stabilize the California budget. This proposition will change the way Californians pay back their debt. It was approved by 70.2 percent of voters. With the passing of this proposition, existing state debts will most likely be paid off faster and there will be new rules for the state budget reserves and a Public School System Stabilization Account will be created. Proposition 47 was approved by 58 percent of voters. With the passing of this proposition, penalties for non-serious and nonviolent property and drug crimes will be reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor. This proposition, also known as the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Initiative, will create the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools fund and would direct the money to K-12 schools. The measure would require misdemeanor sentencing instead of felony charges for the following shoplifting offences under $950: grand theft, receiving stolen property, forgery, fraud, writing bad checks and the use of most illegal drugs.

Measures: Water bond, budget pass CONTINUED FROM

Proposition 45, which would have required the insurance commissioner’s approval before a health insurer could change its rates or anything that would affect its charges, did not pass. This initiative would have imposed a health insurance rate regulation system. Proposition 46, which would have mandated the drug and alcohol testing of certain doctors and would have raised the cap on negligence suits to $1.1 million, was not passed. Only 32.2 percent of voters supported this proposition. If this proposition had passed, it would have made California the first state in the United States to require the random act of drug and alcohol testing of doctors. Proposition 48 also did not pass, which would have allowed the North Folk Tribe to build a casino in Central Valley. This proposition received support from 41.1 percent of voters as of late Tuesday.

Incumbent Royce keeps 39th district Republican representative outspent democractic challenger Anderson by millions

AUBREY SAULS Daily Titan Incumbent Republican Ed Royce has won reelection for the 39th District of California, defeating Democratic opponent Peter Anderson by a considerable margin, according to election night results. Royce has held Congressional office since 1993 and currently chairs the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. He was endorsed by

the Orange County Register and is considered Congress’ most effective conservative congressman. The 39th District consists of Eastern Los Angeles county, Southwestern San Bernardino county and North Orange County, including Fullerton, of which Royce is a longtime resident. Anderson, a software engineer and a research statistician at UCLA, was endorsed by the Democratic Party of Orange County and the California Democratic Party. Royce’s platform includes addressing the national debt,

creating jobs and strengthening education. California is known for its strong liberal leaning, but Orange County has been considered a Republican stronghold for decades. For over 50 years, the county has leaned conservative, but is becoming more moderate in recent years, according to the Orange County Registrar of Voters and the California secretary of state. It’s estimated that during this election season, Royce raised about $3 million for his campaign, while Anderson raised just $5,000.

Republicans took control of the Senate Tuesday, wresting the majority from Democrats for the final two years of President Obama’s term, CNN reported. Republican candidates took one more than the necessary six additional seats to secure their majority, holding on to shaky seats in Kansas and Georgia. Contested races in Iowa and Colorado also fell to the GOP, securing the party’s new majority. Seats in Montana, South Dakota, Arkansas, West Virginia and North Carolina all flipped from Democratic to Republican candidates, rounding out the seven additional GOP seats. The House of Representatives race also went the way of the GOP, securing the party’s existing majority.

Gov. Brown wins fourth term Incumbent beats out Republican challenger Kashkari to secure final years as governor

CYNTHIA PLEITEZ Daily Titan Incumbent Gov. Jerry Brown won reelection Tuesday, beating out Republican challenger Neel Kashkari by a wide margin, but losing the typically conservative Orange County. The win for the 75-yearold secures a record-breaking fourth term as California’s longest serving governor. Kashkari conceded the election just an hour after polls closed, but said his campaign played a role in setting the stage for future Republican candidates in California.

“

We voted for Jerry Brown because in the few years that he has been governor, things have really taken shape, for the better, financially.

“

ANTHONY AKIDI Upland Resident “This was always about blazing a trail for future Republicans to succeed in California,” Kashkari said in a statement. “We have begun the process of rebuilding our party, and now it’s up to all of us to build on the foundation we have laid.” Kashkari, former U.S. treasury official and investment banker during the federal bank bailout, ran

an education-focused campaign. He criticized Brown for siding with unions at the expense of California teachers and students. Brown’s campaign placed much of its emphasis on state finances, citing his efforts to improve the state’s credit rating and reduce state debt. The governor’s campaign placed further emphasis on Propositions 1 and 2, measures to promote water conservation and increase state rainy day savings, respectively. The water bond, Brown’s website said, “ensures a reliable water supply for farms and businesses.” Proposition 2 promotes a rainy day fund, furthering Brown’s endeavors to reduce state debt and protect funding for schools. Both measures passed Tuesday, Proposition 1 by over 30 percentage points and Proposition 2 by more than 50 points. Those loyal to Brown canvassed neighborhoods to get last minute voters out to the polls. “There are so many misconceptions about Jerry Brown, and Jerry Brown has done a lot. I mean he came into a horrible deficit after Schwarzenegger left, so he actually has turned it around,” said Nilda Garcia, a Pacific Gas & Electric Union Member, and a volunteer for the Connie Leyva for State Senate campaign. Brown appealed a court ruling that brought down tenure and California Teachers Association job protections in August. Attempts by Kashkari to highlight ties between

Gov. Jerry Brown was elected to a record fourth term Tuesday, defeating Republican challenger Neel Kashkari by a wide margin. Orange County went to Kashkari, a former U.S. treasury official and investment banker.

Brown and the Teachers Association failed to turn voters from the incumbent to the Republican camp. Voters, however, were not convinced. Their focus fell instead on the financial gains Brown was able to make during his time in office. “We voted for Jerry Brown because in the few years that he has been

governor, things have really taken shape, for the better, financially,” said Anthony Akidi, an Upland resident. “When some of the other governors were there, we had this big deficit and he’s done a lot to bring it to the positive side, financially, so I say to give another chance to continue doing what he’s doing would be a good thing.”

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail opens Friday in the Young Theatre. The play stars BFA acting major Kyle Anderson as Thoreau and Cal State Fullerton faculty member Christopher Shaw. Other CSUF students in the production include BFA acting major Jackie Summers and BFA musical theatre major Marqell Clayton.

LAUREN GAMACHE Daily Titan

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail opens Friday night with wit, humor and a philosophical background. The play was written in the 1960s by Robert Edwin Lee and Jerome Lawrence during a time full of activism and political reform. It was written in response to the country’s enthusiasm to get involved. The play is directed by Mark Ramont, associate professor and the head of the Cal State Fullerton directing program. Ramont graduated from CSUF and came back because he loves having the opportunity to work with motivated students and a caring staff. This will be his sixth play in the four years he has directed at CSUF. The play focuses on American author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau who spends a night in jail for an act of civil disobedience. The audience follows Thoreau’s life through a series of flashbacks he has during his night of incarceration. Thoreau is played by Kyle Anderson, a senior BFA

acting major at CSUF. Anderson stays on stage in his jail cell the entire two and a half hours of the show. Ramont said that he casted Anderson because he needed someone with passion, maturity and vulnerability. Anderson is physically striking with his red hair and his 6-foot-8-inch frame. He handles the heaviness of the play well, Ramont said. A love interest is also packed into this philosophical play through the character Ellen, played by Jackie Summers, a 21-year-old senior BFA acting major. Ellen creates conflict between Thoreau and his brother. Summers said this play is different from the others she has been in at CSUF because she had to learn a new dialect. The entire cast had help learning the Eastern New England dialect from their dialect coach, Kennedy Brown. Marqell Clayton, a sophomore BFA student on the musical theatre route, is introduced in the second act as Henry Williams. The character is a poor runaway slave that receives help from Thoreau. New CSUF faculty director and friend of Ramont, Christopher Shaw, plays

YUNUEN BONEPARTE / DAILY TITAN

As an act of civil disobidience, Henry David Thoreau refused to pay taxes in protest of America’s involvment in the Mexican War and was subsequently arrested. The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail follows a series of flashbacks the famous philosopher has while incarcerated.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, a friend of Thoreau. Ramont said that Shaw teaches through example, engages the students and provides great energy on stage. Professors are sometimes

added into productions to play heavy and mature roles. By taking on these roles, they challenge the students they share the stage with. With the midterm elections ending this week, this play shows the importance

of getting politically involved and standing up for what you believe in. The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail will begin showing at the Clayes Performing Arts Center in the Young Theatre from Friday until Nov. 23.

Famed film festival returns to Hollywood

Annual AFI Film Festival offers eight days of films, celebrities, and film icon tributes

AMBER UDDIN Daily Titan The American Film Institute will be celebrating its 28th edition of its annual international cinema festival in the heart of Hollywood from Thursday until Nov. 13. Special screenings, independent films, blockbusters and classic tributes will draw movie-goers from around the world to the event. The eight-day festival will feature red carpet galas, screenings of both short and full-length films as well as international films.

This year, AFI will give a special tribute to screen legend Sophia Loren by showing Marriage, Italian Style, a film that Loren starred in 50 years ago in 1964. The Italian film tells the story of a 20-year love affair between a wealthy businessman played by Marcello Mastroianni, and a local Italian prostitute who Loren plays. A short film that Loren starred in will also be screened. The film was released last year and is called Voce Humana ( Human Voice). Loren’s tribute will begin at 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 in the Dolby Theatre. The tribute comes on the heels of writing her new memoir, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: My Life.

The festival will also have talks with famous film innovators such as actors Michael Keaton, Edward Norton and cinematographer Roger Deakins. Oprah Winfrey, along with producers and actors from the anticipated film Selma , will also appear. The festival will showcase the world premiere of The Gambler, directed by Rupert Wyatt.

Grand prize winner of the 2004 Carmel Music Society Instrumental Competition, Judy Huang (left) met her co-performer Fureya Unal (right) at Santa Ana College. They have been performing together for the past two years. For their performance on Thursday, Huang and Unal learned all new pieces which include compositions by French composers about fairy tales.

Piano duo comes to Recital Hall CSUF professor Fureya Unal will perform with friend and colleague Judy Huang

TROI MCADORY Daily Titan Talented pianist Fureya Unal and her colleague Judy Huang will be returning to CSUF to perform a piano duo in the Clayes Performing Arts Recital Hall Thursday. The songs Unal and Huang will be playing were learned specifically for this performance. Unal can easily be considered a musical genius. Music was ingrained into

her life at an early age, and it has become her lifelong passion. After taking private lessons in her home country of Turkey, Unal was eventually accepted to Istanbul State University at age five. She has been a pianist for 35 years. She is currently an instructor of music here at Cal State Fullerton and at Santa Ana College. Unal’s piano skills are impeccable; she delves into the music she is playing wholeheartedly. Unal and Huang met six years ago at Santa Ana College. She and Huang

found they shared similar musical backgrounds. Huang, who won the grand prize in the 2004 Carmel Music Society Instrumental Competition, studied under Vitaly Margulis and Unal studied under Vitaly’s wife, Leontina. Since meeting each other, Huang and Unal have been performing together since their first duo two years ago. In the past, Unal and Huang have performed pieces from other composers they favor. They played the Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky last year in honor

of the 100 year anniversary of the first original performance. For the first half of the Thursday performance, Unal and Huang will be playing pieces by two French composers: Maurice Ravel and Francis Poulenc. “Poulenc is one of the most important French composers,” Unal said. “His music is beautiful, powerful and accessible.” She went on to say Ravel’s work was just as enchanting, because his works are based on childhood classics. “Ravel’s Mother Goose

suite was written between 1908 and 1910, and is based on five favorite French fairy tales,” she said. Some of the fairy tales are Little Tom Thumb and Conversation of Beauty and the Beast. Unal believes audience members will truly enjoy the performance because of her passion toward the piano and various stories each piece portrays from composers all over the world.

OPINION

Drug war benefits prisons Money seems to be at the center of the war on drugs while the prison system benefits.

DARRELL KING Daily Titan In the ‘70s, former President Richard Nixon popularized the term “war on drugs,” but 43 years later it would be more fitting to say there is more of a profit on drugs than a war. The costly enforcement of drug policy has not stopped drug crimes and the spread of drugs into poor communities. Additionally, much of the drug enforcement policy that we see today is racially biased and targets African-Americans and Latinos more than any other groups. In order to understand the war on drugs, people must go back to when the drug crisis began in America. The Iran-Contra Scandal is that start. Secretary of State John Kerry was responsible for exposing how cocaine was brought into the U.S. by cartels in order to fund the contras in Nicaragua during Ronald Reagan’s presidency in the ‘80s, something officials at the CIA were apparently aware of. In 1996, reporter Gary Webb published a threepart series in the San Jose Mercury News entitled, Dark Alliance, where he also alleged that there was CIA involvement in drug trafficking. He detailed how a San Francisco drug ring sold drugs to Los Angeles street gangs and funneled millions of dollars from those drug sales to the

The war on drugs has been costly, ineffective and has benefited the prison system. Both the African-American and Latino communites have felt the most pressure from the way the laws are set up.

CIA-backed Nicaraguan contras. Drugs were dumped in predominantly black neighborhoods. Publications like the New York Times and Washington Post tried to discredit Webb’s work, but his series has been turned into a film, Kill the Messenger. There continues to be a high prevalence of drugs in our country. However, our justice system seems to be more concerned with the benefits of keeping people incarcerated than helping people who

struggle with addiction. It’s imperative for people to recognize that prison is a business. There are more people in prison in America than China, despite China having four times the population of the U.S. More than 50 percent of inmates currently in federal prison are there for drug offenses. Every 42 seconds, a person in the U.S. is arrested for marijuana, a relatively harmless drug in comparison to others. According to a report by

the U.S. Sentencing Commission, 27.6 percent of drug offenders were arrested for marijuana between 2012-2013. Nearly a million American prisoners were making office furniture, working in call centers, fabricating body armor and taking hotel reservations, while making wages as low as 93 cents an hour according to a 2012 Huffington Post article. In the 1980s, for-profit prisons started to come onto the scene. One of these was the

Corrections Corporation of America, the largest private prison company in the country. CCA opened its first facility in 1984, and has grown by 1,600 percent over a 20 year period ending in 2009. CCA have numerous correctional facilities in 20 states. They also sell stock. The more people they house in one of their facilities, the higher the stock goes. It’s a business, and the main concern of every business is the bottom line.

Drug arrests, as well as mandatory and minimum drug sentencing laws, have racial undertones to them. Federal penalties for crack cocaine are 100 times harsher than possession of powder cocaine. African-Americans are more likely to be caught with crack, while caucasians are more likely to be caught with powder cocaine. African-Americans account for 14 percent of regular drug users, but account for 37 percent of drug arrests. Similar to African-Americans, Latinos are disproportionately arrested for drug crimes. In California, seven out of 10 Latinos are in favor of reducing penalties for drug possession. When analyzing the drug problem in this country, one must factor in the racial component as well, so while whites are more likely to use drugs, whether it be cocaine or marijuana, African-Americans and Latinos are more likely to be arrested and spend time behind bars. A recent report released by Fiscal News stated that America has wasted $7.6 billion to stop Afghan heroin production. Despite America’s efforts, opium poppy has been cultivated at record levels in Afghanistan, which affects the U.S. and the current heroin epidemic in the country. Petty offenses for marijuana and other drugs should be done away with, but that would mean less prisoners, and less prisoners means less money for the prison industrial complex.

SPORTS Men’s soccer walking along tightrope

PAGE 8 NOVEMBER 5, 2014 WEDNESDAY

CSUF will look to earn their first win in two weeks as they take on Cal State Northridge

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team will be heading to Northridge Wednesday to wrap up their regular season against the Matadors. The match is essentially a must-win for both squads, with Cal State Northridge trailing the Titans by one point in the Big West South Division standings for the final spot in the conference tournament. Fullerton has battled inconsistencies all season, and those have really come back to bite the Titans heading into their last matchup. In their last three games, CSUF is 0-1-2, failing to solidify their spot in the Big West Conference Tournament by earning a key three-point victory. Instead, CSUF saw previous bottom-dwelling UC Riverside move up the standings by defeating the Titans once and playing them to a tie, as they have now clinched a spot in the tournament. Only three of four teams in the Big West north and south divisions are eligible for the postseason, and it has become quite possible that the Titans will be one of those teams to not participate. CSUF also failed to qualify for the conference tournament last season.

The Big West South Division is extremely tight, with first place UC Irvine leading fourth place CSUN by just three points, the equivalent of one win. All CSUF needs to do is earn a win or tie against the Matadors to guarantee a place in the Big West tournament. However, a loss sends Head Coach George Kuntz’s squad back home disappointed at their missed opportunities and failure to close out what had been a very promising year. The Titans won their first matchup with the Matadors 1-0 on Oct. 22 at Titan Stadium. Goalkeeper Jeff Salt will need a similarly dominant performance Wednesday if their season is going to continue. CSUN will be riding high entering the game after beating the No. 14 Anteaters of UCI 2-0 in impressive fashion Saturday. Fullerton will need Marc Fenelus and Amara Soumah to step up their game and get the Titans offense going early in order to take away CSUN’s home-field advantage. The pair of seniors currently lead the team in scoring, as Fenelus has found the back of the net six times, while Soumah is right behind him with five. While the Titans have a balanced scoring lineup, the Matadors are on the opposite end of the spectrum, relying almost solely on senior Sagi Lev-Ari to create

The Titans have their backs against the wall, needing a win or a tie on Wednesday to qualify for the Big West Conference Tournament. CSUF will need to turn around their recent struggles, as they have failed to win a match in their last three times on the pitch.

scoring opportunities. The native of Israel has netted 11 of the Matadors’ 18 scores this season, as no other player has more than three goals on the year. CSUN goalkeeper Adam Hobbs could be the biggest obstacle to the Titans’ playoff push. The junior from

El Segundo has not allowed more than one goal since Oct. 5, which has allowed his team’s offense to play at a more relaxed pace in recent games. Wednesday night will feature two conference rivals leaving their all on the field in hopes of

having a chance to play in the Big West Conference Tournament. The winner won’t have long to recover, as the tournament begins Saturday. However, a lack of preparation will still be a much better result than watching the tournament from

home. Kuntz will have his squad ready, as the Titans look to make it back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000. It would be a long, grueling path for Kuntz and his team, but it all starts with a victory Wednesday.

Women’s volleyball looks for crucial victories The Titans will need more consistent play in order to move up Big West standings

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team begins a two-game road trip this weekend against UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The Titans have struggled in Big West Conference play, posting a 1-8 record with their only win coming against last place UC Riverside. They have two wins overall since Sept. 12. The statistics show that CSUF has not played as well in conference play as they did during their non-conference schedule. They are hitting .173 in Big West play compared to .182 on the season. Fullerton has struggled on the offense recently, hitting just .099 against UC Irvine and .094 against Hawaii. Fortunately for the Titans, they had more success hitting in their previous matchup against UCSB, hitting .201 on Oct. 11 at

Titan Gym. The Gauchos beat CSUF in that match in four sets. UCSB had 18 total blocks in the first match, including six in the fourth set to seal the win. The blocking differential was crucial in the game, considering CSUF had more kills than Santa Barbara. The Gauchos had standout performances from outside hitter Ali Barbeau and Chanel Hoffman. Barbeau led the team with 18 kills and Hoffman had 15 of her own, while hitting an impressive .419 on 31 attempts. McKenna Painton had a big game against UCSB, posting 14 kills and 11 digs in her second career double-double. Holland Crenshaw also had an impressive performance, hitting .409 on 22 attempts. The Titans played particularly well in the third set. Crenshaw had seven kills in the frame and hit .600. CSUF as a team hit .294 and held the Gauchos to .069. Santa Barbara is 5-5 in

Big West play and is 5-2 at home this season. They are coming off a 3-0 sweep of UC Riverside last weekend. After the Friday game in Santa Barbara, the Titans will travel to San Luis Obispo to take on the Mustangs of Cal Poly. The Mustangs have also struggled in Big West play, posting a 3-7 record. They have lost five of their last six games, with their only win coming against UC Riverside. The Highlanders made Cal Poly SLO earn the win in a grueling five-set match. The Titans and Mustangs previously met on Oct. 10 at Titan Gym. Cal Poly SLO beat Fullerton in four sets. Painton played her first collegiate game at outside hitter in that matchup, and posted 15 kills and 15 digs. She also had career highs in hitting percentage (.171) and blocks (3). Crenshaw hit .318 on 22 attempts and junior setter Mackenzie Olsen had 44 assists and 10 digs.

The Titans will need to improve their defense if they are going to turn around their difficult season.

Raeann Greisen leads Cal Poly SLO in scoring with 3.29 kills per set. She had 16 kills and hit .208 in the previous matchup against CSUF. Hannah Schleis had a standout game hitting .476 and recording 12 kills. Setter Taylor Nelson had a double-double with 42

assists and 11 digs. Nelson leads the Big West in assists during conference play with 396. She has played more sets in Big West play than any other setter in the conference with 40. Fullerton’s setter, Olsen, has 327 assists in just 33 sets. The Titans would love

to get at least one win this weekend before playing a talented UC Davis team next Thursday. They have seven games left and must improve their play if they want to climb the standings and avoid being one of the bottom two teams in the conference.
