Titan alumnus returns to inspire potential lawyers

Leadership Scholars connects business majors VERONICA FELIPE Daily Titan Burgers sizzle on the grill as conversation fills the air. Some people eat while others play “heads up” with company executives. This is not a regular barbecue, but a social event for active members of the Leadership Scholars. “It’s like a kick back, but in a semi-professional environment,” said Adam Galwey, a Leadership Scholars board member. The event is held to help build members’ confidence in approaching company executives and to provide networking opportunities. Many “big wigs” attend this annual event, said John Barbuto, Ph.D., director of the Center for Leadership. “You come to this barbecue and go, ‘Oh, hi this is Jay Scott, he’s the vice president of the Anaheim Ducks,’” Barbuto said. Leadership Scholars is a program provided by Center for Leadership at Cal State Fullerton. Over 315 students are a part of the program, which provides students opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills and learn through interactions with Orange County business executives.

Francisco Balderrama, Cal State Fullerton alumnus, visits his alma mater Wednesday as the keynote speaker for the Titan Law School Fair event. Balderrama encouraged CSUF students to pursue a profession in law by sharing his challenges in getting into law school.

Alumnus persuades students to pursue law school GRAHAM MCTAGUE Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton alumnus Francisco Balderrama

returned to CSUF as a keynote speaker Wednesday to encourage potential law students to pursue their dreams during the Titan Law School Fair. After graduating from CSUF, Balderrama attended UC Irvine School of Law and went on to become a civil rights attorney with the state of California.

“I’m always suspicious of people that say they love their job, but I actually really like it,” Balderrama said during his speech. Law school applications are at an all-time low compared to when Balderrama applied. But instead of using this as a point of concern, Balderrama encouraged

CSUF students to embrace a profession in law by compassionately relating to student concerns. He said that he understands students’ fear in applying to a University of California law school when they’re coming from a Cal State University. “It wasn’t so long ago when I was in your guys’ position and I was wondering

whether or not law school would be the right choice for me,” Balderrama said. While there are many concerns students may have about going into law school, Balderrama said that the first concern, and rightfully so, is the financial struggle. SEE ALUMNUS

Softball coaches talk women’s issues HAYLEY SLYE Daily Titan The WoMen’s Center hosted a panel discussion Wednesday afternoon to explore the unique challenges that female coaches encounter. Cal State Fullerton softball Head Coach Kelly Ford and her two assistant coaches, Tori Tyson and Cya Neal, led the discussion. All three women are single mothers walking the line between family and work as Division 1 softball coaches. “We often feel like we have about 30 children with our players and with our own,” Ford said. The talk is part of a WoMen’s Center series discussing ideas of gender. Rosalina Camacho, coordinator for the

WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center, said that the objective of the talk was to shed light on challenges unique to female coaches. “The important thing is that there’s some really great coaches out there and we fail to really acknowledge the great women who are doing some really incredible work in helping develop some really amazing athletes out there,” Camacho said. The WoMen’s Center looks to highlight issues that affect students or specific departments on campus, Camacho said. When Ford asked the audience how many of them were interested in being coaches, several attendees raised their hands. “I would definitely say what got me into coaching was the passion for the sport and the experience that I had playing the sport, and I really can sit here and tell you that I feel like I have the best job in the

Congress approved a bill Wednesday evening to avoid a shutdown of the federal government, according to the Associated Press. The measure, which passed 277-151 in the House and 78-20 in the Senate, is a stopgap spending bill that ensures the government is funded until Dec. 11. While last-minute spending bills used to pass smoothly through Congress, recent divisions between Democrats and Republicans have made such bills more contentious. Most of the opposition to the bill was from conservative Republicans refusing to fund Planned Parenthood over fetal tissue sales for scientific research. “The American people deserve far better than last-minute, short-term legislating,” said White House spokesman John Earnest after President Obama signed the bill.

State geologist explores drought Speaker invited to talk about water conservation plans ERICA BUESA Daily Titan Room 341 of McCarthy Hall was packed late Wednesday afternoon as Geology Professor Joe Carlin introduced Christopher Bonds, a senior engineering geologist for the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). Bonds was invited to speak to the geology department about the current drought in California and about plans the DWR already has in motion to conserve groundwater. He started the presentation with comparative photos of lakes, mountains and reservoirs spanning from 2007 to 2015, illustrating the seriousness of the drought. “The first thing I like to do is start off the presentation with some pretty dramatic drought imagery,” Bonds said. He then used charts and graphs to help highlight the severity of the drought in different areas, including the effect it has on agriculture and the high volume of water that agriculture uses each year. Seventy-five percent of all groundwater use — over 12.6 million acre-feet — is used for agricultural purposes. “Some ag (agricultural) lands got to come out of production. There’s just too much ag-land, if you continue to irrigate that,” Bonds said. Bonds specializes in groundwater conservation, which has been his main focus as the drought crisis has progressed. Of all freshwater available to Californians, “30.1 percent of the freshwater is groundwater,” he said. In dry years, groundwater makes up 60 percent of the

freshwater used, emphasizing how important it is to conserve, he added. Bonds, also a certified hydrogeologist, talked about land subsidence, gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth’s surface, which has been monitored for many years in California. “The USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) called this the greatest human alteration of the earth’s surface,” Bonds said. Land subsidence is partly caused by pumping highly demanded groundwater in drought stricken times, according to the USGS. “Your run-off-versus-use data suggests that we still have an extra 20 million acre-feet that’s running off and not being captured. So why not try to expand some of the existing facilities we have to move that water rather than building new facilities?” asked Geology Professor W. Richard Laton in the open forum portion of the event. Bonds explained that the process is lengthy and takes a lot of time and money, agreeing that California should capitalize on floodwater whenever possible. Bonds shared three projects to capture and conserve both surface and groundwater during this time of historically low water levels. Two projects that are already implemented are located in the Los Angeles area: both the Elmer Avenue Neighborhood Retrofit Demonstration Project and the stormwater cistern in Coldwater Canyon Park have successfully stored water. The third project is the Kings River Groundwater Recharge Project in Fresno, which will repurpose a 52acre area of farmland that is no longer in use, Bonds said. This basin should be fully functional by next year.

Finding a sweet adventure close to home Student experiences what Anaheim Packing House has to offer LIZETH LUEVANO Daily Titan The smell of fresh, warm pastries and a unique and beautiful setup of plants hanging from the ceiling was the first thing I noticed. I looked around and saw that there was an array of eateries to choose from. This Friday, I finally went to the Packing House in Anaheim after putting it off and making excuses as to why I couldn’t go for far too long. I’m a sucker for pretty food and nice interiors, which the Packing House definitely has. When I think of new experiences, I imagine traveling, hiking or finding a new beach. These activities are what I love to do, but when my free time is a mere few hours, they aren’t the most realistic. I moved to Fullerton in 2012 after graduating high school and beginning college at Cal State Fullerton. I had a list of things and places I wanted to do and see, and that list kept growing. I have yet to fulfill that list. I tend to stay near places that are familiar to me. Going somewhere new is always a bit nerve-wracking for me because there is a lack of familiarity. I often wonder, “Where will I park? Will it be an easy place to find? Should I just go somewhere I’ve

already been to instead?” These are the exact questions that make trying new things difficult. Rather than questioning so much, I’m striving to take chances and do the things I want to do. Anaheim seemed foreign to me. I imagined it to be farther than it actually is and asked myself all those questions every time I contemplated going to the Packing House. But, after seeing another Instagram post of a picture-perfect popsicle from Popbar, I finally decided to go without giving it much further thought. The first place I spotted was Cafecito Organico, and off to the right was Lemon Drop with a slogan that read, “strangely good juice,” which grabbed my attention. The juice is made fresh upon ordering. I tried the pink lemonade and was pleasantly surprised. The juice wasn’t too sweet and, staying true to its slogan, it was a strangely good juice. The best part, however, was my visit to Crepe Coop. One of my favorite things to do is try sweets. I enjoy warm, freshly baked goods, and sweet crepes are just that. Glancing at their menu, I noticed a Fruity Pebbles crepe among the list of dishes. The crepe, wrapped like an ice cream cone, was filled with a scoop of vanilla bean gelato, strawberries, mango and sweetened milk topped with Fruity Pebbles. I was intrigued. I watched as they made the

crepe and filled it with ingredients. I eagerly bit into it. It was both warm and cold with lots of sweet toppings, and it was absolutely perfect. I planned to eat more and snap a photo of a fancy popsicle for my Instagram, but after the Fruity Pebbles crepe, I could not. Now that I realize how close the Packing House is, maybe this can be one of my familiar and safe places. This trip made me realize that I don’t have to travel somewhere far to try something new. It’s also great to visit interesting places that are close to home rather than going to the same

Arboretum sells unique plants

Potting Shed holds Fall Veggiepalooza this weekend ERICA SHARP Daily Titan

The Potting Shed sits tucked away in a corner of the Cal State Fullerton campus, with the Nikkei Heritage Museum towering alongside it. A butterfly glides among eight large tables with trays growing little green vegetable sprouts, protected from sweltering heat by a shade canopy. These sprouts, as well as over 150 vegetables, herbs and seeds will be sold in the Fullerton Arboretum’s Fall Veggiepalooza. This is the third year the Potting Shed is hosting the spring event. In the past, only tomatoes and peppers were available during the sale, which was originally called Monster Tomato Sale. “Everyone thinks we can grow tomatoes and peppers, but after that season ends, they stop growing things,” said Brian Maddock, Fullerton Arboretum’s nursery manager. However, Maddock said the sale’s name changed to Fall Veggiepalooza because it brings awareness to the fact that other vegetables besides tomatoes and peppers can still grow

during cooler months. “It’s a great place to learn about fall vegetables and where you can purchase fall veggies,” Maddock said. “You can take what we have here for sale, start your own little garden in your backyard and it’s a nice activity for a lot of people.” The selection for this year’s sale will include nonGMO vegetables and seeds for the fall and winter seasons, such as lettuce, peas, celery, asparagus and broccoli. The Potting Shed has been growing these vegetables for the past two months. Dorothy Koerner, a volunteer sales associate, said the fact that the vegetables are organic will hopefully excite people. “I would want to get them here basically from the fact that I definitely know they’re organic. They’re not in a store that has a sign on it that says, ‘organic.’ It’s a truism that nothing be modified at all,” Koerner said. This year’s sale will offer seven types of Asian greens, such as bok choy, snow pea shoots, Chinese cabbage and broccoli. “We have a wide variety of Asian vegetables available and a lot of different ones that are heirloom varieties that are harder to get at other places,” Maddock said. Harriet Bouldin, Fullerton Arboretum’s

development manager, said the sale is a fun weekend that draws crowds because of the wide variety of plants on offer, unlike traditional fall vegetables found in home improvement centers. “I think that people enjoy coming here for the very unique selection that we have,” Bouldin said. “We are growing a lot of different kinds of lettuces, herbs and beans that are quite unusual.” Fall Veggiepalooza is a

fundraising event that will give proceeds to the Friends of the Arboretum, a nonprofit corporation that supports the gardens through membership dues and volunteers. Bouldin said the volunteers help make Fall Veggiepalooza a success. “They’ve been coming and sowing the seeds to start the seedlings, and as the seedlings have grown, they do the transplanting into three-inch pots,” Bouldin said. “They’re a big part

of making Veggiepalooza happen.” Besides plant sales, the event will feature University of California Cooperative Extension master gardeners from Orange County who will speak about topics such as cool-season vegetables, raised beds and containers. Volunteers will also be available to provide information and answer questions. “There’s a lot of information that people can get when they are here,” Koerner said.

Fall Veggiepalooza will also offer an array of classes such as a course that teaches how to mix compost soil that can be used year-round to provide better nutrients for plants to grow. Maddock said he hopes that the event will inspire people to start gardening. “We are just trying to get more people to start growing in their backyards,” Maddock said. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 3 and 4.

Scholars: Center offers business guidance CONTINUED FROM

Enya Gonzalez, Leadership Scholars’ vice president of public relations, said the program exposes members to diversity by allowing them to meet people from a variety of backgrounds. “You get the opportunity to feel comfortable around any type of person,” Gonzalez said. “Whether there’s an age difference or ethnicity difference, it doesn’t really matter anymore.” Aside from social events for members, the program hosts four public networking events each semester. Each of these events has company executives involved with Leadership Scholars who volunteer to speak to CSUF students. Leadership Scholars’ next networking event is Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. Joe Chatelle, principal at Mercer’s Irvine, and Dawn Usher, senior vice president and chief administrative officer at Silverado Care, are speaking at tomorrow’s event in Steven G. Mihaylo Hall, room 2201. “There is no program like this anywhere,” Barbuto said. “There are speaker

series in other schools, but they don’t get this high of a level in such a consistent and regular basis.” Galwey, a 24-year-old business major, said he was shy before becoming a Leadership Scholar. He felt the clubs he was previously involved in did not direct him towards where he needed to be. He joined the program out of curiosity. “What is life going to be like after you get out? What is it going to turn into?” Galwey asked. “I had questions, but I couldn’t find answers to them.” However, Galwey said he found guidance to these answers after listening to guest speakers “paint a picture of what their life was like,” before they became successful. Students who attend the program’s networking events must wear professional attire because they can meet and speak to company executives after the event. Even though their events usually end at 4 p.m., speakers spend an hour or two afterwards connecting with students, Barbuto said. “They care about students and they

believe in what we’re trying to do here.” Last semester, Leadership Scholars featured Steven G. Mihaylo as a guest speaker. Gonzalez said meeting Mihaylo was one of the highlights of her life within the program. She remembers asking Mihaylo if he knew that some students were unaware he was alive. Mihaylo laughed and replied that he did not. Leadership Scholars has an executive-shadowing program that allows seniors to shadow a company executive during their workdays. “The opportunity to work with someone who is already a chief executive in the field that you are wanting to pursue is like, ‘Wow,’” Galwey said. Barbuto said that because there are so many first-generation students at CSUF, programs like Leadership Scholars help students who may not have networking opportunities through their families. “We’re giving them this step to really jump-start their careers,” Barbuto said. While the program’s

networking events are open to all students, those wishing to become a Leadership Scholar must be either a business major or minor and maintain at least a 2.5 GPA. However, Barbuto said that the university is in the

early stages of reviewing a leadership minor that anyone can attain. He hopes the university approves the minor by next fall, which would allow students with that minor to join the Leadership Scholars program. Students may enroll in the

minor’s required courses, but cannot graduate with that minor until it is approved. Barbuto said he hopes this will provide the “best leadership opportunities” that the Center for Leadership can offer.

New vaccine law is beneficial Mandated vaccinations hold children’s best interests at heart DARLENE CASAS Daily Titan Protecting children’s health is a compelling government interest that justifies California’s new law to no longer exempt children from being vaccinated for religious beliefs or personal reasons. Overbearing parents should put their beliefs to the side and appreciate the effort California is making to protect their children’s health. Currently, parents are able to cite personal beliefs and religious objections to exempt their children from immunization requirements in private or public schools (K-12) and day cares. However, beginning July 1, 2016, Senate Bill 277 (SB 277) will no longer allow schools to enroll a student up to seventh grade without being vaccinated regardless, of religious or personal beliefs. SB 277 will still accept medical circumstances for a child in school not to be vaccinated as long as the parents present a written statement from a licensed physician. If a physician indicates that a vaccine could potentially harm the child because of the child’s family medical history, that child would be admitted into school without a vaccination. Medical exemptions should ease the minds of worried parents who are leery of certain vaccinations because of their child’s medical record. This bill is not as intimidating as opponents make it seem. It is the school’s responsibility to ensure a healthy learning environment for its students.

However, people who are against the bill, such as the California Coalition for Vaccine Choice, claim this law infringes on their religious liberty. Luckily, this isn’t the first time that public health statutes have come up against opposition, and that means there’s precedence. On Jan. 1, 1944, Justice Wiley B. Rutledge delivered the majority opinion in the case Prince v. Massachusetts, and claimed that the government has the power to regulate the children’s treatment, regardless of the parents’ religious beliefs. “Thus, (a legal guardian) cannot claim freedom from compulsory vaccination for the child more than for himself on religious grounds,” reads the court opinion. “The right to practice religion freely does not include liberty to expose the community or the child to communicable disease or the latter to ill health or death.” One parent’s skepticism toward vaccinations may be costly for the entire school population. Protecting children’s well-being is a top priority for the government, especially with the rise of diseases such as pertussis, also known as whooping cough, in California. In 2014, a total of 11,219 whooping cough cases were reported, the most in the last decade. There were also 75 reported cases of the measles, according to the California Department of Public Health. Parents against the measure are worried about the government having too much power over their children’s health, but they fail to show any other alternatives. The rise in cases of measles show that parents lack the power to protect their children from every harmful disease. The

Starting July 2016, religious or personal beliefs will no longer be considered exemptions for school vaccinations in California. This new mandate will help to ensure that California’s public schools are healthy and safe for students.

only thing they do control is the vaccinations their children receive and whether or not they take them to the doctor. Surely children are not enthusiastic about getting poked in the arm with a needle, nor are they excited to take exams or learn long division, but they have to put their misery aside. Just as students must trust their educators, parents must trust the medical professionals who have revolutionized the world of medicine to help eradicate diseases. Society can only improve if its members work together. Students receive

their education to become well-rounded citizens. Parents and schools work together to provide a healthy atmosphere in which every student can prosper. With a population of more than 38.5 million, it’s no wonder that the state government is taking new measures to prevent epidemics, especially in its schools. In 1997, California stepped up to the plate to prevent hepatitis B from spreading by mandating hepatitis B vaccines for children in day care and elementary school, and then later for middle school children in 1999.

There were 108 reported cases of hepatitis B last year, according to the California Department of Public Health. California is one of at least 12 states to consider reforming their vaccine-exemption legislation this year, but issues regarding the state’s power to enact vaccination procedures has become transhistorical. In 1902, during the outbreak of smallpox, a Swedish man by the name of Henning Jacobson refused to be vaccinated and took his case to Supreme Court. In 1905 Jacobson v. Massachusetts, Justice John M. Harlan delivered an

opinion that said states have the authority to require vaccinations. “While we do not decide and cannot decide that vaccination is a preventive of smallpox, we take judicial notice of the fact that this is the common belief of the people of the State, and with this fact as a foundation we hold that the statute in question is a health law, enacted in a reasonable and proper exercise of the police power,” Harlan said. Families may hold their religious views as they wish, but it is for the good of their children and public schools that they follow the new vaccination mandates.

Native ads pose threat to consumers MEGAN TAMBIO For the Daily Titan With the release of new ad blockers for mobile devices, the morality of these programs is up for debate. One strategy advertisers use to combat ad blockers is online native advertisements, which is particularly troubling. Native advertisements are designed to look like normal, everyday articles and images. Sponsors still pay the publication, but the ads themselves assimilate into the landscape of the publisher’s platform. Ad blockers may eliminate pesky online ads, but they are ultimately

counterproductive because sponsors have learned to circumvent blockers and deliver their messages in a far more manipulative way. Buzzfeed’s plethora of sponsored articles are the most prominent example (e.g. “14 Life Lessons We Learned from YouTube Star Tyler Oakley”). Sponsored articles like these have served both Buzzfeed and their sponsors incredibly well, hence their growing presence. Buzzfeed CEO and founder Jonah Peretti has embraced native advertising, saying that it should be, “additive to the product.” While the creativity of native ads is something to be lauded, they can often blur the lines between sponsored and non-sponsored content. A recent study published

by the technology company, Contently, looked at people’s ability to decipher native advertising. Ads from different websites and sponsors were shown to the participants. Of the seven native advertisements, only two were correctly identified by more participants as advertisements rather

“

Use of ad blockers encourages devious online advertising

these make native advertising a crossover from merely creative to problematic. Buzzfeed isn’t alone in this. While the method is easily associated with new media and, by extension, newer brands, older institutions are involved as well. Long-running publications such as Time and National Geographic can

make six-figure profits off of a single native ad campaign. The rampant growth of this debatable form of advertising is ultimately the response to the general disdain for traditional online ads. Whether it be refusing to click on an annoying, animated banner ad or downloading an ad blocker, users tend to get fed up with online ads. Advertisement spending has stayed astoundingly consistent since its conception, according to Eric Chemi at Bloomberg Business. Even through the tumultuous growing pains of the Internet, the amount spent on advertising has stayed the same relative to the size of the economy. This means that companies continue to spend the same amount on ads, and it’s the platform they use that

changes. When considering this in relation to the growing use of ad blockers, it’s easy to see why so many advertisers have gone native. It’s the last line of defense against programs that render their ad spending useless. While there is a strong moral argument for ad blockers, the intrusive data usage and tracking of users’ web browsing habits as the result of their popularity is a worse alternative. Native advertising is becoming the only way for sponsors to advertise and, by extension, for websites and publishers to stay afloat. This sets a dangerous precedent in the already factually ambiguous age of new media, for it makes this devious form of advertising a new standard for the industry.

HOROSCOPE Provided by: Tarot.com ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19)

Hurrying to finish what you already started may be a hopeless cause, but you might have to try anyhow. Or you could be feeling pressured to begin something new while there’s still time. Either way, you are driven to act immediately as familiar surges of urgency.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

You Lions have been on the go for quite a while and it feels great if you can grab a catnap for a while. However, the overall cosmic theme isn’t about sleeping; it’s all about dreaming. Your subconscious is sending powerful messages today.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

There’s plenty of work on your plate today and you have enough energy to do whatever is necessary. Your optimism is off the charts, making it increasingly tricky to separate the truth from your belief that it will be fine.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Your daydreams may be so shocking now that you’re standing on unfamiliar ground. It’s as if something is tickling your psyche today, yet it’s difficult to decide whether or not you actually like it. You can’t tell exactly what the energy is or where it’s coming from.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

Although you prefer to sit back and enjoy your day, you quickly grow anxious if you’re idle for more than just a few minutes. Logically, you know you can schedule some quality time for yourself, but you keep worrying about all the unfinished work that still needs to be completed.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Unplanned events require your immediate intervention today. You are known for your organizational abilities, especially in the midst of dealing with minor crises. The problem is that your solutions may defy practical logic now.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

You might believe there’s no limit to what you can accomplish today, but actually there’s only so much that you Twins can juggle at once. Unfortunately, overextending your energies quickly complicates your world now that Mercury is pedaling backwards.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

You hit the ground running today. You’re psyched that you have a lot to do and are eager to get started. But you could bite off a bigger chunk of reality than you can handle with retrograde Mercury stirring up trouble in your sign.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Your world seems a bit more settled today than it did yesterday. However, you might not even realize you have passed through the eye of a storm and are coming out the other side now. You are a survivor. Don’t be afraid to fight for what is yours.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

Sticking with just one project is counterintuitive today because your thoughts are running in several directions at once. Nevertheless, your smartest strategy is even less obvious. Let your fantasies © thewordsearc take you where they will.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Although your actions are well-intended and you enjoy the appreciation you receive, you still may feel overwhelmed if you assume too many responsibilities now. You might be afraid of the proverbial straw that could break the camel’s back -- and the camel is you. But there’s no easy way out.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

The currents of your emotions may be flowing too strongly for your taste today, especially if someone is making unfair demands on your heart. You might be anxious because you want to stand on solid ground now. VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

SPORTS Titans looking to ‘beat the ‘Beach’

PAGE 8 OCTOBER 1, 2015 THURSDAY

Women’s soccer faces Long Beach in its first conference game AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team will kick off its Big West Conference campaign on the road against longtime rivals Long Beach State. The Titans have had a phenomenal season, earning an overall record of 8-1-1 as they prepare to embark on their journey to defend their Big West Conference title. This year, Fullerton matched its 2002 mark of allowing only one loss during its road to the Big West. Coming off of a game that saw the Titans rout the University of San Diego Toreros 6-3, with six different players scoring a goal, the team is primed to make a huge run in the Big West. The Competition The Long Beach State 49ers currently sit on a

respectable record of 5-3-3. They have scored a total of 14 goals off of nine assists, generating an average of 1.27 goals per game. Offensively, Long Beach State pales in comparison to CSUF. The Titans have scored 27 goals thus far, nearly double the amount the 49ers have scored. However, the 49ers have only allowed seven goals, whereas the Titans have allowed 13, albeit in one fewer game. Reigning 2014 Big West Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, Long Beach sophomore Ashton McKeown, has continued her success into this season. She has recorded a whopping total of 36 saves on an .837 save percentage. McKeown also already has five clean sheets under her belt. At the other end of the field, the Titans defense will have its hands full with 49er forward Ashley Gonzales, who leads her team in scoring with four goals. Fullerton has to keep a

close watch on defender Melanie Fox, as well. She is second in the team with three goals — a surprising feat for a defender — and one assist. The two sides recently played against the same two opponents, Loyola Marymount University and University of San Diego. The Titans managed to secure comfortable wins against both teams, while the 49ers struggled to even score a goal, losing to LMU 1-0 and tying with San Diego 0-0. After last weekend’s games, Head Coach Demian Brown said he was impressed and felt confident that the team’s recent play will carry over into the Big West Conference. Brown said he appreciated his players’ understanding of how they needed to play every game at a high level, especially in such a competitive conference. It should be no surprise, then, that the Titans have formed a great chemistry all preseason, scoring 27 goals off 29 assists with a

.172 shot percentage. Forward Rebecca Wilson has been sensational, having netted a total of 10 goals along with three assists. Wilson’s career 25 goals place her third all-time for CSUF. She also has 10 game-winning goals, which ranks her third all-time for

game-winning goals in program history. Wilson’s partner up front, Christina Burkenroad, has also performed well, recording six goals and five assists. This season, Fullerton has maintained a 6-0-0 undefeated record when keeper

Jennifer Stuart started in goal. In all four of her starts, Stuart has earned four clean sheets for the Titans. The Titans will head out to Long Beach State’s George Allen Field this Sunday at 6 p.m. in hopes of beginning their Big West Conference season on the right foot.

CSUF is holding its own with a record of 5-4-0 as they welcome Sacramento State to start the Big West Conference. Fullerton has found most of its success at home, where they are 4-1-0.

Men’s soccer to kick off the Big West Fullerton is in a good mid-season form to start conference play HAYLEY M. SLYE Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team will look to start its road to a Big West Championship repeat when it takes on Sacramento State and UC Davis in its first two conference games. Fullerton will have the opportunity to gain ground in the Big West in the upcoming month. The Titans go into their matchups with a record of 5-4-0

overall, which ranks as the fourth-best record among the teams in the Big West Conference. Overall, Sacramento State is 3-4-1 this year, which is the seventh-best record among other conference teams. The Hornets have found their midseason stride, winning three of their last four games. UC Davis has a 4-5-0 record this season and has won its last three games by a margin of at least two goals each. Although the Aggies come into the match with momentum on their side, they currently own the sixth-best record among their other conference rivals.

The Titans have a good chance of improving their record with CSUF junior goalkeeper David Elias leading Big West goalies with four shutouts. CSUF has made it hard on visiting teams, recording all of its shutouts at home. Defending home field has been a reoccurring theme for CSUF, who has a 4-1-0 record at Titan Stadium. In addition to sophomore midfielder Diego Sanchez leading the team in goals, freshmen Brandon West and Ross McPhie have greatly contributed to the team’s efforts during their non-conference season. Sanchez, West and McPhie played off of each other well in their 2-0 win

last Sunday against the Grand Canyon University Antelopes, creating plays for and connecting passes with each other. Last year, the Titans were 3-4-3 in conference play. They made it to the Big West Tournament finals tying against UC Irvine 0-0. Fullerton went on to compete in the NCAA Tournament, where they were knocked out in the first round by the University of San Diego Toreros. The week will feature two Big West Conference games as CSUF go head-tohead with Sacramento State Thursday and return to action Sunday to take on UC Davis in Titan Stadium.

The Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team heads to Maricopa, Arizona Saturday to play at the Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. The team is coming off a successful trip to Pullman, Washington, where they placed third out of nine teams at the Itani Quality Homes Collegiate. Redshirt senior Mark Jensma recorded the lowest score of all Titans on the grass. He finished 4-under with a score of 209 in the tournament to tie for ninth place overall. His ninth place finish was his career high as a Titan. Freshman Jack Ireland also stood out, playing an excellent three rounds in his CSUF debut in Washington. He finished 3-under — just one stroke behind Jensma — to score a 210, placing him in 14th place overall. The men’s team, overall, completed its best finish since winning the Big West Championship in 2014. The Southern Dunes Golf Club features a variety of holes in an arid landscape. Spread across 320 acres, the desert course does not contain a single cactus, but provides a

relatively playable atmosphere around native grasses and jagged land formations. The Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club packs all the types of holes that golfers come to expect with plenty of sand pits, mounds and long straights. The average time it takes to complete the course ends up around four hours and 29 minutes. The club is meant to be more relaxed than other courses the Titans have faced. For example, the course does not have any water hazards because of the dry landscape. Regardless of its play style, the course is not without its challenges. One challenge the course offers is multiple bunkers that inhabit almost every hole. From small pits to elongated dunes across the fairway, the Titans will have to play accurately to successfully navigate across the course. Additionally, even though it has been cooling down from temperatures reaching as high 108 degrees Fahrenheit during the week in Maricopa, the temperature will definitely be hovering around 99 degrees Fahrenheit while the tournament commences. The Titans will look to continue their excellent play off of their third place ranking in their last tournament. Fullerton will tee off this Saturday and finish play Sunday at the Southern Dunes Golf Course.
