Dreamers center opens Center to assist undocumented students at CSUF KYLE NAULT Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton opened the Titan Dreamers Resource Center (TDRC) on the second floor of the Pollak Library Wednesday, the first center of its kind in the California State University. The center will provide undocumented students who qualify for Assembly Bill 540 benefits with

different services on campus. These include academic and emotional support, financial assistance and other programs designed to improve retention and graduation rates among the campus community. “We’re going to help every student who is a student here at Cal State Fullerton,” President Mildred García said. “Each and every one of us, whether we be faculty, staff, or student, or community leaders, are true purveyors of the path to upward mobility for all who seek and desire it.” As part of the California Education Code, AB

540 allows undocumented students who have attended high school for three or more years and earned a diploma or its equivalent to be exempt from paying outof-state-tuition fees. Three different undocumented students that benefit from AB 540 shared their hardships in their journey at the grand opening. “My college experience consisted of hiding in the shadows from friends, teachers, searching high and low for scholarships that more often than not required a Social Security number,” said Ana Celis Luna, a kinesiology major.

“I thought that no one here could help me.” Luna said the most important resource offered at the new center is academic advising, because there are several majors undocumented students are unable to pursue since they cannot obtain jobs in particular fields. She praised the university for focusing on helping students in familiar situations. “It brings me great joy to know that current and new incoming students will no longer have to face those same challenges alone,” she said.

Bupendra Ram, a communications graduate student who is also undocumented, shared Luna’s gratitude to CSUF for developing the center. “One of my dreams was to pursue a college education, and I feel like going through the process, it was a very lonely process, so knowing that future generations of students that would be coming in later on will have that opportunity to have those resources, I think it’s very inspiring,” he said.

On an early morning in June of last year, the tide was low, giving a professor and students access to oyster beds they created a year ago. It would otherwise be buried under six feet of water. Danielle Zacherl, Ph.D., a Cal State Fullerton biology professor, and her team of students stood in the sand at the Alamitos Bay. They had their headlamps strapped on, shining beams of light in the dark morning and pulled on their rubber boots to begin their trek in the mud. It was time to collect their one-year samples for

After the 1930s, the number of Olympia oysters plummeted due to overharvesting and changes in the wetlands, wiping out an

entire habitat. Since then, a larger species of oysters, known as Japanese oysters, which are commonly eaten on the

West Coast, were brought in to be cultured and farmed and the Olympia oysters were forgotten. “For the most part, interest in the oysters is driven by the commercial operation and because when that species declined so radically, they brought in the Japanese oyster, I think people kind of lost interest in (the Olympia oyster) for a while,” Zacherl said. The oyster restoration project began in 2010 in Newport Bay. It started as a study to find the best environment for oyster restoration. Zacherl and a team of students created 20 miniature oyster beds with different bed designs to study the effect the bed designs had on oyster recovery. SEE OYSTERS, 6

University Police received a report last week of an alleged rape that occurred on campus, the first such report in four years. University officials said the case is being treated as an isolated incident that raises no safety concerns related to the community. The investigation is ongoing. University Police would not say whether an arrest has been made. The location of the crime was 1567 E. Campus Drive, according to the campus crime log. That is the address for Valencia Hall, an on-campus apartment. University officials identified it as an acquaintance rape. Acquaintance rape is defined as coercive sexual activities against a person’s will by means of force, violence or fear of bodily injury imposed on them by somebody they know, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. It is the first case of rape reported on campus since 2010 when there were two cases of forcible rape, according to the Cal State Fullerton Jeanne Clery crime statistics. However, victims do not always report that they were raped so the actual number may be higher, said Lt. Scot Willey of the University Police. “Sexual assaults on college campuses are one of the most underreported crimes that occur,” Willey said. “We are always assuming that there are more (victims) out there that just don’t feel comfortable coming forward, so we just try to do our best to let people know that we’re here for them.” Victims of rape are advised to call a rape crisis center or the police right away. Clothes and other belongings victims had during the incident should be kept so they can be used as evidence in a criminal trial. Most employees of the university are required to report to law enforcement if a student tells them they were raped. To find more information on reporting a rape or to find counseling, contact Counseling and Psychological Services at (657) 278-3040. The WoMen’s Center, which also offers information on rape reporting, counseling and prevention, can be contacted at (657) 278-3928.

The decorative “Planet Walk” archway between McCarthy Hall and Dan Black Hall was accidentally torn down Tuesday, causing damage to the walls standing between the buildings. A delivery truck attempted to drive under the archway at about 11 a.m., and the vehicle ended up unknowingly hitting the arch and ripping it from where it was secured into two walls tearing down chunks of the wall with it. The truck belonged to Rayne Water, an outside vendor, and it was delivering water tanks to Dan Black Hall. “(The) truck was too high,” said University Police Lt.

Ferry captain charged with negligence The captain aboard South Korea’s Sewol ferry is facing charges on suspicion of negligence and abandonment, according to Time. At least 156 people are confirmed dead and more than 146 are still missing, authorities said. Park Geun-hye, the president of South Korea, has condemned Captain Lee Jun-seok’s actions as “akin to murder.” South Korean law states it is a crime to depart maritime vessels ahead of passengers. Breaching necessary duties as a captain could lead to a maximum of five years in prison. However, Jun-seok’s actions may constitute gross negligent homicide or negligence, which could lead to life imprisonment. - NICOLE WEAVER

MICROCHIP IMPLANTS MAY BE THE FUTURE CHRISTINA NGUYEN Daily Titan

Carrying ID cards could become a thing of the past

Imagine the ease of being able to pay for groceries with the swipe of a palm or unlocking a door with the wave of a person’s hand. Students easily share their files for a group project with the shake of a hand. The idea of microchip implants have bred years of suspicion as a way for “Big Brother” to control the masses, and as a sign for the mark of the beast in the Book of Revelation. However, beyond the “end of the world” speculation and Hollywood plotlines, the technology could be a practical way to maneuver through life. Having an implant could

open up endless possibilities with a simple hand motion. Procedures for implants of other kinds, like pacemakers to regulate heartbeats, are becoming increasingly common. Although a pacemaker is implanted for health reasons, procedures are also being performed frequently for individuals to receive permanent, and yet nonessential, additions to their bodies. What if microchip implants are the practical tattoos and body piercings of the future, done not out of necessity but by preference and even for everyday convenience. Frank Swain, a freelance science writer, entertained the idea of burying a radio frequency identification chip (RFID) under his skin as an alternative to bus passes. Although he never became “London’s first transport cyborg” as he said he would, people have run with this idea by taking the microchip out of the bus passes and inserting them into necklaces and bracelets. Although some people may fear that implanting people

with microchips would only lead to more surveillance and loss of privacy, it wouldn’t be much more different than how easy it is to track someone today. Many everyday actions already supply more information about an individual than he or she may be aware of. With every swipe of a credit card, information is relinquished regarding what was purchased, where it was purchased and more. Smartphones also have a tracking function that can allow anyone, from parents to employers, to monitor the location of an individual. Would microchips really pose much more danger to personal information security than using credit cards and cellphones already do? It seems like all the things that scare people the most about their privacy being taken away is already at risk. But is society ready for information to be stored inside one’s body, compared to being carried in a pocket? Currently, identification

cards, magnetic strips and pin cords exist as methods to verify one’s identification, but implanting a chip into the bodies means that the identification process would be standardized into one form. The implanted microchip would mean more convenience. No more carrying drivers licenses, social security cards, passports, medical ID or credit cards. It also offers efficiency in transferring information that physical formats cannot achieve easily. Though the direction of society seems to be heading toward more and more technological advances, in order for microchip implants to truly become a new standard it would have to reach certain breakpoints. It would would need to be universalized, a large percentage of a country’s population would need to be implanted with the technology. And it would also need stringent security protocols in order to guarantee a person’s vital information be secure.

A 0.28 GPA serves as a wake up call for a now successful student KATHERINE PICAZO For the Daily Titan

Leaving high school and starting college is a lifechanging transition that some students are not yet ready for. Between signing up for classes, deciding on a major and commuting to school, there are many obstacles freshmen have to deal with.

“I didn’t have anyone telling me to go to class, and so I did what I wanted to do. I would sometimes get to school and sleep in my car instead of going to class, that is how bad things got.” JONATHAN SALAZAR CSUF Junior

Jonathan Salazar was one of those students. When Salazar was a freshman in his fall 2010 semester, he was dropped from two courses and failed two others; earning a 0.28 GPA. “I didn’t have anyone telling me to go to class, and so I did what I wanted to do,” said Salazar, who commutes from Norwalk, driving at least 25 to 40 minutes to get to Cal State Fullerton. “I would sometimes get to school and sleep in my car instead of going to class, that is how bad things got.” Salazar, now a thirdyear student, is turning his life around by taking

five classes to learn to be a physical therapist. “I want to learn how to turn that body into the best possible version of itself and fix it when it malfunctions,” he said. Prior to his troubled freshman year, Salazar was a teen who enjoyed life simply by showing up to school and getting together with friends after school. Vanessa Salazar, his 17-year-old sister, said her brother did not have the motivation for school. “Before college, we did not get along, he was the opposite of me,” she said. “I was quiet and focused in school; he would be careless about pretty much everything at that time. All he wanted to do was be with his friends.” Throughout his first year of college, Jonathan Salazar got involved with friends who often encouraged him to skip class. Having lunch at the Garden Café and driving down to Brea Mall were his go-to activities. Salazar was enjoying these experiences with his friends, unaware of the problems that were soon to come. Missing classes took a toll on Salazar when he was forced to work and pay his tuition that financial aid refused to fund the following year because of his academic standing. He began writing letters to the financial aid office asking for his grants back with the promise that he would improve the next semester. Salazar found himself working twice as hard to get back into good academic standing and getting a job that would help him pay for school. “I could not let any distractions come in the way, and I had to put more time and effort into my

studies,” Salazar said. He dedicated time to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays that added up to about 20 hours weekly. Salazar focused on taking detailed notes throughout his lectures and took advantage of professors office hours to help with his grades. Salazar also works 30 to 40 hours as a product specialist for Living Spaces Furniture. Herlinda Escobar, his supervisor at Living Spaces Furniture, said she saw Salazar as a young man who had potential for this company and the future

he is pursuing. Escobar said Salazar is in the top 10 percent of the company and proves he is a great asset to the company. Salazar does not regret his mistakes because he knew that only through tough times was he able to find the person he really wanted to be. The support that he gets from his supervisor pushes him to work hard in his studies and workplace. “I have seen him overcome many difficult obstacles such as working 10 or more hours in one day, and still going home to

finish a paper that almost seems impossible to do at that time, but he seems to always manage and has this hunger for improvement that makes him so great,” Escobar said. Salazar said he knows that some students had or are currently having the same problems he dealt with; however, his focus remains solely on his academics and paying his bills. “I stopped spending money on unnecessary things and much of it was going towards eating out so I started eating at home,” Salazar said.

His parents provide him with a room to sleep in and home-cooked meal, which saved him some money. “As for paying for school, I went on the payment plan that made things a bit easier but that was all I worked for and there was really nothing left for me to spend,” he said. Salazar said his accomplishments came from the desire to make his parents proud. He continues to work hard and hopes to graduate within the next year as a physical therapist.

THE DAILY TITAN

OYSTERS Continued from PAGE 1

The oyster beds were made by laying down a layer of dead Japanese oyster shells in a mud flat, which is literally a flat area with mud, Zacherl said. All the oyster larvae requires is a hard surface to settle on, preferably an oyster shell, but it could be any hard surface including walls and pier pilings. “Unlike other locations where they are restoring the oysters, here the oysters are regularly reproducing on their own,” Zacherl said. “They’re not forming beds anymore, but there are enough of them living on pier pilings and sea walls that they were naturally reproducing on their own.” Once the larvae find a hard surface to settle on, it does not move. “They actually glue one of their shells down to a hard substrate,” said Sara Briley, a biology grad student who has been working on her own thesis on the relationship between eelgrass and the Olympia oyster. “Once they settle, they just keep getting bigger and bigger and that’s where they are forever.” In 2012, the actual restoration project began in Alamitos Bay. It was the first oyster restoration project in Southern California. “The Alamitos Bay project was kind of different, it’s not replicated. It’s not an experiment,” Zacherl

said. “This project was more about educating the public about oyster beds and the fact that they were once in Southern California and we’re trying to restore them now.” The oyster beds play an important role because of its contribution to the marine ecology. “Oysters, no matter the species, are bed-forming, or reef forming species. They cement against one another and when they do that they create a habitat,” Zacherl said. The oyster beds, with its nooks and crannies, provide a structured habitat for other organisms in the sea. Before the restoration project, the oysters were living and reproducing in the bay, but they were not forming a habitat. Since the beds’ introduction to the Alamitos Bay, the creatures such as limpets, crabs, barnacle and snails have begun living in the crevices in the oyster beds. Creatures that were not originally there, said Cristina Fuentes, a marine biology student who monitors the shell. The oysters also act as water filters as they are filter feeders. When they eat, they filter their food out and together with their food they filter bacteria and sediment, thus improving water clarity. After a setback in 2013, because the oyster beds were being covered with sand and mud washing onto the beds, and a few changes to the bed design,

FACTS: • Species: Ostrea Luerida • Size: 50-70 mm • Oyster beds provide a structured habitat for other organisms in the sea • Oysters hide from predators the oyster restoration project is producing great results. Fuentes, who drives out at least once every month to monitor the effects of the restored oyster beds, said the number of Olympia oysters has increased to 65 times more than the average population between June 2013 and January 2014. Come June this year, Zacherl will lead a team of students out onto the Alamitos Bay again during the low tide, including Briley and Fuentes, to collect samples marking the second year of the project. “It’s a great feeling knowing that I’m part of the first restoration efforts of the Olympia oyster in Southern California and the data that I have collected will provide information for future restoration projects,” Fuentes said.

Courtesy of Amazon Mike Henry is a Cal State Fullerton alumnus and author of the book, What They Didn’t Teach You in American History Class. He is currently working on his third textbook.

Using backstories of the past to teach today 1976 alumnus publishes second history textbook KYLE NAULT Daily Titan

Andrew Jackson, former president of the United States, is known for the displacement of Native Americans. However, what people might not know is he was fond of duels and killed his best friend in one. For over 30 years, Cal State Fullerton alumnus Mike Henry has used relatively unknown backstories to teach students how American history has impacted their lives in the present. “History is one of those things that you can either make it really exciting or you can put people to sleep,” Henry said. “If you stand up there and say, ‘OK, memorize these dates, do the questions at the end of the chapter, be ready for the test on friday,’ it’s snooze time.” As a result, Henry contextualizes historical events like the American Revolution to show how its battles and victories give students the liberty to attend football games and school dances. Henry, a two-time award winner of Who’s Who Among American Classroom Teachers, has taught at educational levels, ranging from elementary to high school and is publishing two textbooks. His most recent book, titled What They Didn’t Teach You In Your American History Class, was released in March 2014. “For young teachers, (the textbook is) kind of that safety net for them to help them in class. For the kid that hears something interesting in class that wants to know a little bit more, it’s that, and if a person is just a trivia enthusiast, I think it works in that direction too,” he said. Henry said he was inspired to release his newest novel after reading many poorly written

history books during his time as an educator. “Some of them were just outright horrible,” he said. “At that point I said when I retire, I’m going to write a book that isn’t just a regular textbook it goes beyond the textbook, it has the backstories, it has the little anecdotes that I would talk about in class.” Gordon Bakken, Ph.D., professor emeritus of history and author of a variety of published works, also said backstories can be effective. “There’s a lot about history you don’t want to know,” he said. “In the books sometimes the backstory is the story but then it isn’t framed that way as the major issue.” For Henry, there is always another story behind each major event that makes it exciting and interesting and his own life

“History is one of those things that you can either make it really exciting or you can put people to sleep.” MIKE HENRY Author

possesses several of its own stories. Henry graduated from CSUF in 1976 with a bachelor’s degree in education. However, he was unable to obtain a job teaching in California due to an excess amount of undergraduates. “There were waiting lines of people to become teachers, they simply had too many,” he said. In an area made up of lower-class American Cherokee students, Henry began his first step along his teaching career as a wrestling coach in Jay, Oklahoma, 12 miles away from the Arkansas border. “From a sociological perspective, that was a great awakening going

from Southern California to Jay, Oklahoma,” he said. “It was an education for me.” After one year in Jay, Henry bounced around the state as a teacher and oil-worker before finding his home in Shawnee, Oklahoma, where he would teach for the next 27 years. Henry retired as a teacher from the Shawnee Public School System in 2008. “When I was young I set a number of goals for myself and I’ve been fortunate to achieve those goals,” he said. “Overall, I had the chance to educate and coach what I just call ‘wonderful’ kids … I’ve got the greatest wife in the world and I was able to retire at 55.” Henry has been married to his wife Pam, also a teacher, for 40 years. She has been an avid supporter of her husband and helped edit his most recent textbook. “I’ve enjoyed Mike’s writing, both non-fiction and fiction,” she said. “When he has a draft, I sit down and I read it and then I will ask him questions pertaining to the matter at hand … it’s always been a partnership.” Pam still finds herself amazed at the treasure chest of facts contained in her husband’s mind that contains far from dull information. “It’s been delightful, I’ve been having fun getting all this information,” she said. The same interest can be true for the classroom instructor’s students. “With Mike, he has his kids, he hooks those kids, and within five minutes, it’s like the class is over before the kids even realize it, and to me that speaks very highly of a teacher’s ability,” she said. Henry’s most recent book can be found on the shelves of the Pollak Library and is available on Amazon.com in paper and electronic forms. He is working on his third textbook for students.

THE DAILY TITAN

Fusing the old and new A Korean tragedy teaches a student cultural issues abroad ALEX FAIRBANKS For the Daily Titan

During my stay in South Korea, I have observed unique customs and mindsets of the people here. I was deeply moved by the passion and sadness that the Korean people have shown in their response to the ferry tragedy. On April 16, a South Korean ferry carrying 476 passengers tipped over and sank. Over 150 bodies have been recovered, with more left to be found. It is not uncommon for people in a country to grieve when they are hit by a heavy blow, but particularly in Korea, there has been a somber aura encompassing the majority of the Korean population. I was able to understand the current sentiment of Korea by contemplating their past and present culture. South Korea has a culture that comes from dynasties and kingdoms. They were greatly influenced by the philosophical ideas of Confucianism and the founder of the Korean language, King Sejong. The country was founded on principles upholding honor, respect, family and pride. These values have continued into the modern era of Korea and creates a dynamic culture that

attempts to balance the old ways with the new. My Korean friends told me this country used to be extremely poor. It has a vast historical account of numerous foreign invasions, colonizations and a civil war that divided it. The noble class in the post-modern South Korean society often provided food for the poor to maintain its strength and relieve the pressures during difficult times. Today, visitors might be surprised to find that

Koreans usually order food that everyone shares. While working at an internship here, I learned that the boss and workers usually eat lunch together, then after the meal the company or the top executive will pay for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lunch. Both of those customs have strong historical roots that preserve their continued practice. There are many customs that illustrate Koreans honor and unity. When drinking alcohol, I

would never be allowed to pour it for myself. Instead, I would hold the glass with one hand and place my other hand under the glass. Afterward, I would do the same for my friends as they held their glasses in the proper way according to tradition. The elderly are treated with extreme reverence and care. Special seats on subways are reserved for the elderly to sit. When speaking Korean to them, there are certain words and conjugations of those

words that show your respect for them. The writing system is held in reference here and is one of the foundations of the Korean society. South Korea has many customs, and the historical links are deep, but not every Korean abides by them and there are times when all formalities are ignored for reasons of practicality. I noticed this as I headed to my job one morning. I charged my way into a packed subway train, squeezing myself

between people like canned sardines. On my train rides, at school and especially online, I witnessed a noticeable change in the demeanor of the Korean people. While talking in a group chat on KakaoTalk, a popular phone app in Korea, one of the students randomly told me to pray for Korea. After further discussion, I realized he was talking about the ferry accident. Many students have changed their icons on the app to ribbons that support the victims and families of the sunken ferry. It is constantly on television as new findings come in every day and the story unfolds. I can imagine some Korean families are leaving their chopsticks sticking upward from their food bowl, which is a custom that visually represents the mourning of a deceased family member or loved one. It is a time of great sadness for the Korean people. Its culture creates intense national pride, especially in times of crisis. One of my Korean friends had an interesting outlook on this tragedy. We talked about how although the circumstances are extremely sad, now is a time of unity for the people of South Korea. It is a time when the Korean people will connect over the things that distinguish them from the rest of the world such as the their food, language and traditional customs.

WINNIE HUANG / Daily Titan Freshman Phil Bickford pitched six scoreless innings and struck out six on Wednesday, but the bullpen blew his win by giving up the tying run. The Titans ended up losing in 16 innings. Bickford lowered his earned run average to 2.03 after the efficient outing.

Titans lose 16-inning thriller CSUF scored only one run off 10 hits against Fresno State MICHAEL HUNTLEY Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team extended its losing streak to six Wednesday with a 2-1 loss to the Fresno State Bulldogs in 16 innings. The Titans are still winless since Head Coach Rick Vanderhook was put on paid administrative leave before last weekend’s series with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Junior William Munro made his eighth start of the season for the Bulldogs (2121, 8-13 Mountain West). Munro started the game strong, allowing just one hit in his first three innings of work. The Titans (18-17, 3-6 Big West) turned to freshman Phil Bickford on the mound. Bickford went into the game sporting an impressive 2.28 earned run average. His 9.7 strikeouts per game are fifth in the Big West Conference. Bickford continued his dominance on the mound Wednesday. He allowed just four hits and no runs in six innings of work. He struck out six Bulldogs and stranded three baserunners while lowering his ERA to 2.03. The Titan offense came to

life in the top of the fourth inning. Junior left fielder Austin Diemer and sophomore first baseman Tanner Pinkston hit back-to-back singles to left field with one out. In the ensuing at-bat, Munro walked junior third baseman J.D. Davis on four pitches to load the bases. Senior shortstop Keegan Dale hit a sacrifice fly to left field to score Diemer and give the Titans a 1-0 lead. After the sacrifice fly, freshman designated hitter Niko Pacheco got his first career hit in a Titan uniform. Sophomore center fielder Brody Russell threw out Pinkston at home plate, who tried to score from second on the base hit. Pinkston would have been safe if he had slid into home but he went in standing up and sophomore catcher Taylor Ward applied the easy tag. The Titans gave the ball to junior Willie Kuhl to hold on to the lead. Kuhl came into the game with a team-best 0.94 ERA and 10.61 strikeouts per game. Kuhl had not allowed a run since March 29 against Wichita State. Kuhl made it out of the bottom of the seventh inning with little trouble. However, he allowed a leadoff home run in the bottom of the eighth to junior third baseman Manny Argomaniz. After Kuhl retired the next Bulldog hitter, acting Head Coach Jason Dietrich

made a pitching change. He gave the ball to junior Tyler Peitzmeier, who has the most appearances by a left-handed pitcher for the Titans. Peitzmeier got the next two Bulldogs to ground out weakly to end the inning. Junior Koby Gauna took the mound for the Titans in the bottom of the ninth. Ward reached base for the Bulldogs after an error by junior center fielder Clay Williamson. Gauna walked junior second baseman Chris Mariscal to put runners on first and second with one out. Gauna battled his way out of trouble to take the game to extra innings. Freshman Jimmy Lambert took the mound for the Bulldogs in the top of the 10th inning. Lambert owns the highest ERA of any Bulldog pitcher who has over 20 innings pitched (5.79). Lambert allowed a single to sophomore catcher A.J. Kennedy but the Titans failed to capitalize. Gauna was excellent in relief for the Titans. He threw four scoreless

The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team will look to defend its conference title as they prepare to play in the Big West Championships at the Soboba Springs Country Club in San Jacinto, Calif. The three-day event will be held April 27-29. The Titans, ranked No. 57 in the NCAA GolfStat. com rankings, enter the tournament as the highest ranked team in the conference. UC Davis is close behind, ranked at No. 62 while no other Big West school is ranked in the top-100. The Titans are coming off another top-five finish at the El Macero Classic, finishing second with an 8-over 872. UC Davis took home the tournament title with a dominating performance, shooting an 8-under 856. Senior Mark Anguiano entered the final day

in first place but slipped in the final round, shooting a 3-over 75 to finish the tournament in second with a 4-under 212. It was his eighth top-three individual finish of the season. Junior Ryan Tetrault finished tied for fourth after shooting a 1-over 217 after an even par 72 on the final day. Tetrault led the Titans with 13 birdies overall in the event. Freshman Kyle De Silva gave CSUF a third top-25 finish with a 9-over 225. UC Davis’ Matt Hansen took home the individual title, shooting a 6-under 210. The team performance was paced by the Aggies, which had four other competitors in the top-25. Nicolas Noya and Luke Vivolo tied for sixth with a 2-over 218 while Josh Granger shot a 6-over 222 and ended in a tie for 13th. The Aggies’ Ben Corfee tied for 21st with an 8-over 224. In last year’s event, the Titans captured the first conference title in school history as they finished as co-champion with former Big West school University

of the Pacific, shooting an overall 23-over 887. The Tigers ultimately earned the NCAA regionals bid by defeating CSUF in a onehole playoff. In the individual championship, three competitors were tied at the end of the final round, including the Titans’ Corey Gard. The title went to Pacific’s Eric Sugimoto who defeated Gard and UC Santa Barbara’s Brett Silvernail in a two-hole playoff. With Pacific’s move to the West Coast Conference, the Titans return to the event as the lone conference champion and will take aim at a second consecutive conference crown. CSUF will enter the event with three players who finished in the top25 last year. In addition to Gard, Tetrault and Anguiano will give the Titans a quality trio who are all capable of winning the individual portion of the event. Tetrault finished in fourth place with a 2-over 218 while Anguiano ended the tournament in 13th place, shooting a 7-over 223 overall.

innings, allowing just one hit and striking out three Bulldog hitters. The Bulldogs gave the ball to junior Casey Rodriguez to pitch in the top of the 11th. He ran into trouble in the top of the 13th, allowing doubles to freshman second baseman Taylor Bryant and Diemer. Rodriguez stranded the runners and the marathon game continued. Freshman Chad Hockin took over for Gauna in the 13th. He loaded the bases in the 14th but managed to pitch his way out of the jam. Freshman second baseman Jesse Medrano led off the 16th inning with a single off Hockin. Mariscal reached on an infield single to drive in Medrano to end the marathon game with the Titans losing 2-1. The Titans hope to end their losing streak this weekend at Goodwin Field against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
