Despite falling to UC Irvine twice during the regular season, CSUF bested the Anteaters in the penalty shootout en route to the Big West Conference Tournament championship and the team’s first bid to the NCAA Tournament since 2000. Their opening round opponent of the Big Dance will be announced on Monday morning as part of the NCAA Selection Show.

Titans worth weight in Salt Fullerton utilized stiff defense to thwart UCI throughout their match Saturday night

RUDY CHINCHILLA Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer Head Coach George Kuntz returned to his old stomping grounds in style, after leading the Titans to the Big West Tournament Championship Saturday on the back of a 3-2 win in penalty kicks against UC Irvine at Anteater Stadium.

“Not one time this season did any of our players get voted for Big West Player of the Week. Not one time. And now they need to respect because now you can see what these guys can do,” Kuntz said.

And respect was on the agenda for the Titans, who

were playing not just for a chance to lift the trophy, but also for an opportunity for retribution after losing their two previous encounters with the Anteaters this year.

“It’s hard work at the end of the day,” senior Amara Soumah said. “We put our heart into it … (UCI is) a good team, but in this conference, two good teams go to the final, and in the end there’s one champion, us. It’s a great feeling.”

The senior class will be making its first NCAA Tournament appearance.

“I couldn’t ask for a better senior year, and it’s something I’m going to talk about until I die because this is just a special day,” senior striker Marc Fenelus said.

The big hero for the Titans was goalkeeper Jeff Salt,

0 (2) whose MVP-winning performance forced the penalty shootout in which he saved twice to give his team the championship. “I just knew I needed to make a couple of saves because (my teammates) are just as good as I am at PKs,” Salt said.

Things looked bleak for Fullerton in the opening minutes of the match.

Golf Research Lab uses hightech equipment to analyze local golfers’ swings

ALEXANDER DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan It might feel like a virtual reality simulator straight out of science fiction, but instead of shooting phasers at Klingons, you’re taking a futuristic route to shaving a few strokes off your golf game.

Golfers got the high-tech

treatment when the Cal State Fullerton Golf Lab showed off their motion capture technology at their first open house event Friday.

The event allowed students, members of the surrounding community and general golf fanatics alike to come see the CSUF Golf Research Lab’s research techniques first hand.

“We have a bunch of different technology,” said

CSUF Professor of Kinesiology Scott Lynn. “We can measure the 3-D movement of the human body, and we can measure the forces that go into the ground ... Then we have the doppler radar ball tracker device, which can measure the club and the ball.”

The golfer hits the ball at a screen with a golf course projected on it. Computers then track the power of the

swing and the myriad other factors behind the physics of it and interpret that data in a way that can tell a golfer where they need improvement.

“Just to see the specifics of every swing is really cool—the little things to make your swing that much better,” said 16-year-old golfer Max Hagar.

BRITTANEY CARPENTER Daily Titan The California State University Board of Trustees put to bed a nearly year-long contract negotiation process with the ratification of a collective bargaining agreement with the California Faculty Association.

The board approved the agreement proposed by the faculty union which includes an initial 3 percent pay increase effective retroactively to July 1 of this year.

Bargaining between the CFA chapter and the chancellor’s office began in December 2013 with an initial request of a 10 percent compensation increase over the span of three years, starting with 4 percent the first year. The chancellor’s office responded with their own proposal of a total of 7 percent over three years, with 3 percent the first year.

The recent ratification of the contract between the CFA and the chancellor’s office guarantees a 3 percent raise the first year of the contract, and a 2 percent raise for the

subsequent two years.

The recession brought on a budget cut of nearly $1 billion in state funding, making raise requests difficult to accommodate. Since the turnaround of the economy, the CSU budget has begun to recover. In the 2014-2015 budget, $142.2 million was added. Of that, $91.6 million was made available for compensation of the 45,000 CSU employees, said CSU spokesman Michael Uhlenkamp.

The September board meeting saw faculty and staff speakers during the public comment section addressing the challenges they faced as a result of the stay on compensation raises. Among these speakers was Laura Newcomb, professor of biology at CSU San Bernardino.

Newcomb became a professor at CSUSB in 2007.

Her experience was exemplary of what the CFA calls the “experience penalty” that occurs when newly-hired professors see higher salaries than their previously-hired counterparts, as the university offers more money to attract new faculty.

Group rallies at Trustees meeting

NEWS DTBRIEFS American aid worker beheaded The Islamic State (ISIS) released a video Sunday showing the death of an American aid worker, according to CBS News.

The latest victim of ISIS’ beheading campaign was 26-yearold Peter Kassig, an aid worker and former soldier. The video also shows the beheading of several Syrian soldiers captured by ISIS militants.

Kassig was captured Oct. 1, 2013 and the first threat of his beheadings came six weeks ago.

The killings come in response to the United States’ continued bombing campaign against the Islamic State.

The speaker in the video warns that U.S. troops could suffer a similar fate.

WD-40 CEO to speak to business owners CSUF Center for Family Business will bring the executive to local family business owners

BRYAN CIFUENTES Daily Titan Organizational leadership will take the spotlight when CEO for the WD40 Company, maker of the ubiquitous spray lubricant, comes to Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Family Business Tuesday.

Garry Ridge first joined the San Diego-based company in 1987 as a managing director. From there, he used his knowledge of international business and his own product knowledge to advance through the ranks, finally reaching CEO in 1997.

The Australian born CEO co-authored Helping People Win at Work with management expert Ken Blanchard. In the book, Ridge outlines how he applied Blanchard’s “partner for performance” management techniques at WD-40.

Ridge explains the importance of being clear about expectations. His employees know what he expects of them, and in return, they know what they can expect of him, he writes.

This style of managing will likely be the precursor

to what Ridge will address during his presentation titled “It’s All About the People,” said Center for Family Business Director Ed Hart.

“One of the things Garry is going to speak about is how to get these employees more engaged,” Hart said. “It’s changing the organization and changing the philosophy of the organization more than it is the employee because you want to create an environment the employee enjoys coming to every day.”

The Center for Family Business was created in 1995 to focus on family businesses and the common problems they face.

The center’s mission includes utilizing education to help family businesses grow.

“The objective here is to create an environment where it’s just family businesses meeting together on a monthly basis,” Hart said.

The center’s aid to families includes giving members of the center the chance to come together once a month with the option of participating in workshops aimed at helping them continue to improve their business.

Members of the center also have the opportunity to attend lectures by guest

Strong winds will blow across Southern California through Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

The strong Santa Ana winds, which started Sunday, have prompted a high wind warning that will remain in effect until noon Monday. The warning suggests reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions, especially for high-profile vehicles.

Drivers should also watch for broken tree limbs on the roads.

The Great Basin region will experience patches of strong and gusty northeast winds.

Areas below the Cajon Pass and along the coastal slopes of the Santa Ana Mountains will experience winds of up to 65 miles per hour.

Gusty winds are expected to continue into Tuesday.

Teacher accused of molestation The Brea Police Department arrested a Fullerton middle school teacher for allegedly being involved in a sexual relationship with a minor, according to the Orange County Register.

The suspect, Shauna Sims, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of committing lewd acts with a 14-year-old boy.

Sims was arrested at Parks Junior High School, where she serves as a special education teacher.

The victim is not a student at the school, and the alleged incidents occurred off campus, according to Fullerton School District officials.

Sims was booked at the Brea City Jail on one felony count of committing a lewd act with a minor. She was released after posting a $50,000 bond.

Golf: Lab to offer swing analysis CONTINUED FROM

1

Despite his 11 years of experience in the sport, Hagar still took something away from the open house.

“I need to work on hitting straight,” he said.

The Golf Lab hopes to help students and community members both improve and lengthen their game, Lynn said.

“Our ultimate goal is to adjust how the body moves to make it hit the ball better, so that you can play better and play longer,” Lynn said. “A lot of times, the reason people give up the game is because they get injured or it becomes not fun anymore because it’s just too hard.”

During the open house, guests were treated to a demonstration of the research technology, which included motion plates, radar and motion capture cameras. These

pieces of technology are often associated with the entertainment industry, including video games like The Batman Arkham game series and films like The Lord of The Rings.

After a demonstration and explanation of the equipment, attendees were able to try out some of the technology by participating in a “closest to the pin” virtual golf competition. Participants took a ball and club to use with the golf simulator in an attempt to put their ball nearest a virtual hole.

The equipment in the lab was primarily paid for by contributions from CSUF and donors.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have people supporting our research that way, and that’s how I think we’re going to advance this lab is through donations and finding our own funding so we can get the equipment we need,” Lynn

said. “The problem with this lab is it’s very costly—the technology is not cheap.”

Although prices are still being finalized, the cost for a full swing analysis would come out to about $200 for a golfer not affiliated with the university, said Robert Dudley, the graduate director of the lab.

Student discounts are being considered, and free research study opportunities may become available as well.

The CSUF center is one of only a few labs that provide this degree of analysis to golfers, Lynn said, making the opportunity for students and community members all the more unique.

“There’s one lab in Texas that does this, and then us.

There’s one lab in Ireland that does it as well,” Lynn said.

“Basically, three labs on the planet that does this. Unless you live in Ireland or Texas, you can come here.”

MARIAH CARRILLO / DAILY TITAN

CSUF students and local community members will eventually be able to book appointments for swing analysis at the CSUF Golf Research Lab. The lab, equipped with motion capture and other technology, can use the analysis to help golfers improve their game.

CFA: Months-long negotiations end CONTINUED FROM

1

The average salary of a tenure track associate professor during Fall 2013 was $88,900, according to the Board of Trustees.

“San Bernardino is still pretty behind—our biology department is a little behind most of the other ones,” Newcomb said.

The first year of the contract will focus on the faculty members on the lowest end of the salary spectrum.

The 3 percent raise is not a full percentage raise for every faculty member across the board, said Mahamood

Hassan, CFA president at Cal State Fullerton. Rather, part of a pool of $46 million will be used to provide a 1.6 percent raise to every CFA member. The remaining funds will be provided to select groups.

“So the first year we targeted lecturers more, and people who have been hired who are below the salary step max, and so forth,” Hassan said. “(In) year two and year three, we’re going to get more of the senior people.”

Hassan filed a grievance against CSUF President Mildred García, stating that she failed to act in “good faith”

by refusing to adjust salaries until the contract had been signed, even though she had the opportunity to adjust the salaries equitably.

Marcia Marx, the CSUSB union representative and professor of sociology, described the CFA agreement as a “salary recovery adjustment.” The first year of the contract is the only official agreement between the chancellor’s office and CFA, while years two and three are still up for debate. The promised 2 percent raise, however, is a minimum guarantee.

Those yearly increases

will be especially welcomed at campuses that have seen little to no salary step increases for faculty. Those increases used to mean regular compensation raises for faculty, but have become scarce in some cases.

The CSU faculty faced with the harshest times involving their lack of salary step increases is Sonoma State University, said Sonoma State professor of mathematics Elaine Newman.

Sonoma faculty have not received an increase since 2008, leaving the university with the highest percentage of tenure track faculty

eligible for the increases.

“I always say that they don’t pay me to teach, they pay me to grade papers,” Newman said. “When I’m in the classroom teaching, I’m not thinking about how much I’m paid, but when I’m grading papers I do, and it’s really brought down morale on our campus.”

Sonoma State’s Department of Science and Technology lost three faculty members last year due to salary inequities, Newman said.

Faculty members are not the only CSU employees dealing with a lack of

While Geck believes that a lack of funding is part of the reason for such low salaries, he has also seen spending on “frivolous things” by CSU. With only the first year of the contract decided on, the second and third years will also bring an extensive debate between the CFA and CSU leaders.

Miguel Torres (left) and Joshua Johnson (right) star in Grand Central Art Center’s production of Next Fall. The play follows the five-year relationship of Luke and Adam, and how their relationship endures even with their extreme religious differences. It explores themes of love, relationships, faith and self-acceptance, and runs through Dec. 6.

THEATRE REVIEW:

Next Fall

Dramatic play opens at Grand Central Art Center with plot that is funny and provocative

JAMIE CORPUZ Daily Titan Adam and Luke’s love for one another is so great that they resolve themselves to ignore the deepest of divides—one that harbors self-loathing and fear.

Luke (Miguel Torres) is a devout Christian who, despite choosing to accept his innate homosexuality, believes his choice to follow his nature is a sin. Adam (Joshua Johnson), a committed and irreverent atheist, takes offense because Luke chooses to pray for forgiveness every time the two are intimate with each other.

This is the love story central to Geoffrey Naufft’s Broadway play Next Fall.

Cal State Fullerton’s production is directed by theater professor and working actor Svetlana Efremova, and is performed by the exclusive Master of Fine Arts in Theater cohort.

“It was about

relationships … it just (happens) to be that they were gay,” said Tina Burkhalter, who plays Adele, Luke’s mother. “It could have been about premarital sex versus if it was a heterosexual couple.”

But the play is more than just interpersonal relationships, it’s about negotiating identities. It’s about individuals’ relationships with themselves.

Adam tries to cope with chronic illnesses related to aging and finds himself grappling with insecurities amidst a mid-life crisis, yet he vehemently rejects the faith and security of Luke’s proselytizing.

Luke struggles with cognitive dissonance as he attempts to reconcile his belief that God is both loving and intolerant.

Religion is the singular point of contention in Adam and Luke’s relationship. Though Luke is able to believe he is forgiven and finds assurance that he will find heaven upon death, he is desperately afraid Adam will go to hell

unless he accepts Christ.

In one poignant scene, Adam displays his contempt for God’s acclaimed forgiveness when he challenges Luke by bringing up the murder of Matthew Shepard, a hate crime victim.

Adam asks Luke how God can be good and moral if monsters like Shepard’s killers can go to heaven merely by praying for forgiveness, yet the victim would spend eternity in hell if he refused to see himself as a sinner.

Luke, sorrowfully yet assuredly, answers that is simply the case.

The play takes off just after Luke is hospitalized after being hit by a taxi in New York City. Adam arrives in the emergency room lounge to find Luke’s parents. It is then through recollection that the play explores Adam and Luke’s five-year romance.

Luke’s parents are as devout as he is—his father more so. Despite being out to the rest of the world, Luke has never come out to

YUNUEN BONAPARTE / DAILY TITAN

Tina Burkhalter plays Adele, Luke’s conservative mother in Next Fall. Grand Central’s production is emotional and genuine, while also humorous and exciting.

his parents about his sexuality or Adam.

Adam has always envied Luke’s fulfillment, but always resented the arrogance and hypocrisy of religion. Now faced with the possible loss of his partner, Adam must find a way to not only cope, but get along with Luke’s religious family who, until that moment, had never heard of him.

The set is lackluster and simple, but the intense

narrative and the devotion each actor gave to their character made the room feel full.

Despite the able acting and artful delivery, the main character arcs felt rushed. This might have had something to do with the trimming of the script.

The flashbacks offer little insight into Luke and Adam’s relationship, except for their religious turmoil. What love and

affection there is seems unlikely to have survived five years of such a bitter divide.

Overall, the play is funny and provocative. The six actors are engaging and impassioned. While not Tony Award worthy, it is certainly worth checking out. Audiences should be eager to see what other roles these masters candidates will be cast in this coming season.

Symphony to play Portuguese-inspired concert University Wind Symphony to meld contemporary, traditional and international sounds

CYNTHIA PLEITEZ Daily Titan The University Wind Symphony will bring Musica a partir de Portugal (Music from Portugal) to Cal State Fullerton Wednesday at the Meng Concert Hall.

The concert will be led by director Mitchell J. Fennell and guest conductor Antonio Menio.

The symphony is known for its contemporary performances of music by renowned American composers such as Kraft, Grantham, Welcher, Husa and Ticheli, but also incorporates traditional music by Sousa, Holst and Vaughn Williams.

“The University Wind Symphony, Symphonic Band and University Band, with an emphasis on musical performance, are part of an ongoing tradition aimed to perpetuate and maintain a great American cultural heritage,” according to the Cal State Fullerton School of Music

mix of brass sounds, it collectively produces a sound unique to other performance genres at CSUF. Fennell is an Artist in Residence in Conducting at the Escola de Música do Conservatório Nacional in

Lisbon, Portugal.

The connection to Portugal will likely bring back memories of the symphony’s time there. In 2011, the University Wind Symphony embarked on a 10day tour of Portugal, which

included a performance in Lisbon sponsored by the U.S. Embassy.

One of Portugal’s highly esteemed bands in the city of Alcochete also joined in and the tour concluded with visits to Sintra,

Cascais, Estoril, Obidos and Alcobaca.

With such a diverse Portuguese influence, the event should blend well with the University Wind Symphony’s ongoing tradition of expressing traditional music.

The lineup for Wednesday will include Hélder Bettencourt performing The Rise 2351, Anton Alcalde Rodriguez performing Lembranzas do Mar, Luis Serrano Alarcon performing La Utielana and Bill Welan Arr. Gert Buitenhuis performing Riverdance.

Those looking for a preview to the music they will experience Wednesday can visit the University Wind Symphony’s website at fullerton.edu/arts/music/ensembles /wi ndsy mp.ht m l and listen on the automatic player.

The event will begin at 8 p.m. and run to 10 p.m.

Wednesdays are “$5 Fundays,” where all music events are $5.

The jury finds the defendant...not guilty.

What a shock..!

MIKE TRUJILLO / DAILY TITAN

Fans and nations must unite to end FIFA’s corruption After FIFA found itself innocent of corruption, outside pressure is needed to see real change JAMES SMITH Daily Titan After 18 grueling months of investigative work, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, the governing body of international soccer, has found itself not guilty of any accounts of bribery or corruption.

Soccer fans across the globe can take a collective sigh of relief knowing their beloved game is, in fact, not controlled by an entity that more closely resembles the Legion of Doom than it does a governing body.

No longer do they have to worry about the seemingly endless rumors of corruption or vote-trading.

Nor do they have to question why the next two FIFA World Cups are being held in Russia and Qatar. These two countries were chosen over the likes of England and the United States not because of hefty bribes and gift bags, but because of Russia and Qatar’s passionate love for the beautiful game.

In an ideal world, all of this would be true; sadly it’s not. FIFA is a laughably corrupt organization whose only interest includes bribes and general skullduggery by executive members.

It must be made public. That is the only way FIFA can deal with the complete loss of credibility.

“

“

summary on his initial 420 page report contains numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations.

Garcia’s initial findings reportedly questioned the motivations (legalease for bribery) of FIFA’s president, Sepp Blatter, as well as those of a handful of other FIFA executives.

Garcia plans to present an appeal to FIFA’s ethics committee, according to ESPN FC. To get to the FIFA ethics committee, he must first gain approval from two other committees. The first being FIFA’s investigatory committee, which he is the chairman.

Assuming he grants himself approval, Garcia will then move on the adjudicatory committee which Eckert, the same man he is filing an appeal against, is the chairman. Unless Eckert finds himself under suspicion, the appeal process will end here.

So what now? It’s painfully obvious that FIFA cannot regulate itself.

There seems to be only two paths of action that could force FIFA to change the way it conducts business.

The first way would be through the fans and media.

It’s clear the only thing the governing board of

REINHARD RAUBALL President of the German Football League Last Thursday, FIFA ethics judge Hans-Joachim Eckert ended the in-house investigation into the bidding contests almost four years after the World Cup voting ended, stating that FIFA’s governing body was only deserving of praise for the way they conducted the bidding for the World Cup. This should come as no surprise to anyone. When an organization suspected of corruption investigates itself, they will always find that they did nothing wrong.

However, in true FIFA fashion, even this investigation could not come to a close without its own controversy.

Primary investigator Michael Garcia said Eckert’s abbreviated 42-page

FIFA truly cares about is money. If the World Cup was to lose a handful of its major sponsors due to a fan-based boycott, of either the sponsors’ products or the games themselves, that might be enough to see a change in action.

This is highly unlikely to happen and FIFA knows it. All they have to do is wait for the first whistle to blow in Russia during the next World Cup and all of this controversy will melt away the same way it did in Brazil.

The entire nation was in protest over how much money it had spent to host the games in Brazil and how that money could have been put to better use. Daily rioting and protest over the games was televised.

columnists across the world began to question the selection of Brazil and the morals of FIFA. This all changed seconds after the first kickoff. Global focus shifted from the coverage of protests to the daily highlights and where each nation stood in its group.

While fans may not be able to escape the enticing allure and distraction that is World Cup soccer, the competing nations just might.

President of the German Football League Reinhard Rauball stated they are willing to quit FIFA if Garcia’s full report is not available to the public.

“As a solution, two things must happen. Not only must the decision of the ethics committee be published, but Mr. Garcia’s bill of indictment too, so it becomes clear what the charges were and how they were judged,” Rauball said in an interview with German website Kicker Online. “It must be made public. That is the only way FIFA can deal with the complete loss of credibility.”

Having Germany, the reigning World Cup champions, come forward and demanding transparency is the only glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak situation. If other major European nations began to follow Germany’s lead, FIFA would have no choice but to reveal the report and begin to sanitize their organization.

In the coming weeks, hopefully more nations will take the same stance that Germany has so we can begin to genuinely address the corruption that has been taking place FIFA. However, this is just wishful thinking.

Despite the egregious intolerance toward homosexuals and countless human rights violations in both Russia and Qatar, there’s a good chance that nothing will happen to FIFA, and neither World Cup venue will change.

Christina Burkenroad scored one of Cal State Fullerton’s two goals in the NCAA Tournament opening round matchup against the No. 3 Stanford Cardinal Friday at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium in Palo Alto.

Titans fall against No. 3 Stanford CSUF led Stanford by two goals at halftime, but fell 5-2 to end their season

JOSEPH ANDERSON Daily Titan A 17-1-2 overall record, eight goals allowed all season, 43 goals scored in 20 matches.

These were some of the gaudy statistics facing the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team as they prepared to take on the No. 3 Stanford Cardinal in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Friday night.

CSUF entered the firstround matchup as a huge underdog, yet they looked like the better team throughout the first half to silence the home crowd in Palo Alto.

Fullerton got off to a roaring

start in the ninth minute when senior Brianna Chapman was fouled in the box by a Stanford defender.

On the ensuing penalty kick, Chapman fired a shot past the outstretched arms of Cardinal goalkeeper Jane Campbell to give the underdogs a 1-0 lead.

After the opening score, the Titans stayed on the offensive and broke through again in the 28th minute when junior Christina Burkenroad weaved her way through the Cardinal defense and shot into the upper right corner to give Fullerton an incredible 2-0 lead.

Jennifer Stuart had one of the best halves of her career in between the pipes for the Titans during the first 45 minutes of play. The 5-foot-10

sophomore consistently thwarted the high-powered Cardinal scoring attempts, making four difficult saves in the early-going to maintain Fullerton’s edge.

Despite being outshot 13-5 in the first half, the gritty Titan squad held a 2-0 advantage going into halftime.

With the crowd silenced, it seemed as if CSUF was on the way to arguably the biggest win in program history.

However, Stanford came out looking like an entirely new team in the second half, and Fullerton’s inspired play was not enough to match the energy of the hometown Cardinal.

Stanford controlled possession for a majority of the second half, and their ball control

was finally rewarded in the 61st minute with a goal.

Chioma Ubogagu curled a free kick from just outside the box over the wall and past Stuart to bring the deficit to 2-1.

Just five minutes later, Ubogagu broke loose and used her masterful footwork to create a shot and tie the game at two apiece and take the momentum back in the process.

Taylor Uhl finally put the Cardinal up in the 73rd minute, as her shot from the top of the box narrowly snuck past a diving Stuart.

Uhl and Ubogagu each added one more goal apiece before the game was done, as the talented duo continued their dominant season on the offensive end.

The hat trick for Ubogagu

was the first of her career.

Stanford shot 33 times compared to just five attempts from Fullerton overall, yet the game did not feel one-sided until late in the second half when the Cardinal lead got out of reach.

After putting an early scare into the Cardinal, the Titans were defeated 5-2 by one of the most talented teams in the country.

Regardless, CSUF showed the same grit and determination that led them to a Big West Conference regular season and tournament title, and earned the respect of their high-powered Pac-12 opponent.

The Titans were lucky not to concede a goal in the 23rd minute.

On the left, Anteater Cameron Iwasa sent a cross that evaded Fullerton center-back Fermin Villalba.

Irvine’s Dennis Martinez shot unmarked from five yards, but his effort was off target.

Fullerton eventually started to find its groove going forward, coming close to scoring in the 34th minute.

Midfielder Robert Coronado picked up the ball in midfield and dribbled forward, laying the ball off to teammate Ian Ramos.

Ramos struck from 20 yards, but his low, curling effort to the far post went mere inches wide of the Irvine net.

The game eventually turned into a back-andforth affair, with both teams creating their share of scoring chances.

In the 52nd minute, Iwasa fired a bullet of a shot that looked destined for the top corner, but Salt made the spectacular leaping save to send the ball over the crossbar.

Four minutes later, Fullerton midfielder Garrett Losee won the ball in the Fullerton half and played it to Fenelus, who sent a through ball to Ramos on the right side.

Ramos shot low to the far post, but UCI goalkeeper Michael Breslin made the fingertip save.

The attacking impetus was there for both sides, but neither managed to score, forcing the game into penalties.

Irvine was up first. Gor Kirakosyan stepped up for the Anteaters, but Salt dove to the right and made his first save.

Fenelus converted the Titans’ first attempt, and Mats Bjurman scored for Irvine.

Fullerton still had the

advantage, until Breslin saved Ramos’ shot to restore hope for Irvine.

Salt, however, dashed those hopes by diving to the right once more to stop Matt Tilley’s shot.

Coronado and Iwasa converted for Fullerton and Irvine, respectively, and then Julian Okai scored again for the Titans.

It was do or die for the Anteaters when Marlo Ortiz stepped up.

His shot clattered off the post, making CSUF the champions.

“UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton: that’ll be a rivalry for many, many years,” UCI Head Coach Chris Volk said.

“It’s an amicable, professional derby now and it will continue to be that way.”

The Titans will now look ahead to the NCAA Tournament, which they will take part in for the first time in 14 years.

The selection show will take place Monday morning at 10 a.m.

Volleyball snaps five-match losing streak The Titans beat UC Riverside in three sets to win their eighth game of the season

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The women’s volleyball team snapped a five-match losing streak Saturday in a three-set sweep of UC Riverside at Titan Gym. Cal State Fullerton has had a rough time in Big West Conference play and entered the match with a 1-11 record.

“I’m not going to lie, winning in three feels good. I’m proud of the way the women played,” Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman said. “We have a very young team and it’s not easy taking blows and having a good mental mindset that would allow you to be successful in three (sets) regardless of who you’re playing on the other side of the net.”

Riverside is on a 19-match losing streak and the Titans felt confident entering the match Saturday.

“It feels great. UC Riverside was definitely a team we thought that we could beat,” freshman Stephanie Buss said. “We took advantage of it and worked really hard all week to win in three and it feels really good.”

The Titans played well in the first set and never looked back. Fullerton hit .312 in the frame compared to the Highlanders who hit just .029. CSUF was up 16-14, but then jumped to a 22-14 lead thanks to five attacking errors from UCR. Fourteen

of the Titans’ 44 digs came in the opening set.

The second set was much more competitive and required overtime. The Titans faced set point, but a service error by Alex Gresham tied it up. Niki Withers hammered down her eighth kill of the frame to give the Titans the lead and a service error by Megan Reza gave the set to Fullerton.

Withers had a career-game Saturday.

She had a game-high 22 kills and a career best .400

hitting percentage.

“We scouted them really well,” Withers said. “The coaches were telling us what was open. They said they were playing in the same spots when we last played them.”

The third set featured seven ties, but eight kills from Withers propelled the Titans to their eighth win of the season.

“I didn’t play like we won the set before. I played as if it were the first game we were playing,” Withers said.

The Titans blocking unit had a big game, recording 12 blocks, including two solo blocks from Holland Crenshaw.

“It’s all about timing.

When you time it right, it helps make up for not being as tall as the other girls in the conference,” Buss said.

CSUF has three games remaining in its season, including a match against undefeated Long Beach State. The Titans play their final home match of the season Saturday against UC Irvine.

Chante Miles runs the offense in the first half Sunday at Titan Gym. The senior point guard led the team with 12 points, but shot just 25 percent from the field in a 63-47 loss to Montana State.

Women’s basketball mauled by Bobcats

The Titans dropped their home opener for the second consecutive season

MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team suffered a blowout loss in its season opener to Montana State Sunday at Titan Gym. Fullerton has lost both of its season openers with Head Coach Daron Park at the helm. Park graduated from Montana State in 1994 and served as a manager for the men’s basketball team.

The Titans came out firing in front of their home crowd.

Senior point guard Chante Miles made a layup and was fouled by Hannah Caudill.

Miles made the free throw and on the ensuing possession, freshman Lakyn Gulley made a corner three to give the Titans the early 6-0 lead.

Montana State didn’t wait long to silence Titans fans.

Just nine seconds after Gulley’s basket, Lindsay Stockton made a three to cut the

lead in half. Gulley missed a corner three, allowing Jackie Elliot to grab the long rebound. Elliot passed to Jasmine Hommes, who made a three to tie the game.

Hommes was dominant Sunday. The junior forward scored 24 points and shot 10-of-16 from the field. The Titans were forced to play a more aggressive defense midway through the first half to try to neutralize Hommes and the Bobcat offense.

“We couldn’t stop them.

We let Hommes get low touches; she was getting paint catches and just having her way with us, and we had to do something to change that,” Park said. “We have the personnel that should be better to matchup with her individually so that we shouldn’t have to go to that strategy so early.”

Much of the damage done

by Hommes was in the first half. She scored 16 points and was 7-of-11 from the field in the half.

“We double-teamed her when she got into the post and that helped a lot. I was trying to play her straight up, but she

47 was making good shots,” senior forward Kathleen Iwuoha said. “I have to work even harder because her scoring like that is a reflection on me and I’m embarrassed about how I played today.”

The Titans never lead in the game after the first couple of minutes in the first half. The aggressive defense slowed the Bobcats down, but they still managed to shoot 43.6 percent from the field compared to the Titans who shot 30 percent.

Daeja Smith and Amanda Tivenius got in foul trouble relatively early, forcing Iwuoha to play 31 minutes off the bench. She had seven points and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.

hasn’t beaten San Diego since 2002.

“We have to get a lot better a lot quicker. It is a process, and part of the process is making sure that we get better every single game. We had eight days between our exhibition and today to take

the court and try to show that we got better, and we should have played much better,” Park said. “Now we get one day and we have to take the court again. We’ve got to be better on Tuesday than we were today, and we have a lot of work ahead of us.”

New-look Titans begin season with two losses MEN’S BASKETBALL

BRYAN CIFUENTES Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball team suffered a tough season-opening loss at the hands of the Santa Clara Broncos Friday night.

The Titans dropped the game by 17 points, falling 89-72 as they utilized a new-look lineup.

The Titans woes were brought on by their lackluster performance to start the contest as they managed to score just 22 points on five field goals in the first half.

Combined with eight turnovers and a tough road atmosphere, the Titans dug an 18 point deficit by halftime.

Santa Clara (2-0) wasted no time taking advantage of Fullerton’s poor start with an amazing shooting night.

The Broncos shot nearly 50 percent from the field, including a remarkable 68 percent from behind the arc.

The second half was a completely different game as the Titans scored more than double what they scored in the first half on their way to outscoring the Broncos.

Newcomer Lanerryl Johnson led the Titans with 19 points, making 3-of-5 shots from behind the arc.

Moses Morgan and Alex Harris knocked down three 3-pointers each to go with Morgan’s 16 points and Harris’ team-leading four assists.

Game two of the season featured the New Mexico Lobos (2-0) at The Pit, where the Titans (02) put up much more of a fight than in their season opener.

The Lobos are coming off three consecutive Mountain West Conference championships, but that did not stop the Titans from lingering around the entire game.

Unfortunately, like in game one, they were unable to get over the hump and fell 67-59.

The loss puts the Titans in an early hole, but as 5

expected with a team with so many new faces, it might take a few games to build enough chemistry to fire on all cylinders.

However, there are still many areas the Titans will need to improve upon.

They allowed the Lobos to shoot over 50 percent from beyond the arc and only reached the freethrow line seven times

compared to New Mexico who shot 36 free throws.

Morgan had another strong performance with 21 points, as he torched the Lobos with 5-of-8 shooting from 3-point range.

Johnson added 14 points and five assists as the Titans continued to struggle shooting the ball.

The win marks the first time New Mexico and

CSUF have played since the 1978 NCAA Tournament where the Titans eliminated the No. 4 ranked Lobos who were led by former Los Angeles Laker Michael Cooper.

CSUF will get a chance to right the ship at home Saturday night against San Jose State when they continue the hunt for their first win of the season.
