The Titans had a successful weekend, edging out the UC Davis Aggies and destroying the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine. After their first conference loss to Long Beach State, the Titans are quickly turning around their Big West season.

Women’s soccer seizes both games over the weekend DAVID LEOS Daily Titan After dropping its first conference game to Long Beach State, the Cal State

Fullerton women’s soccer team got back into form over the weekend with shutout wins over UC Davis and the University of Hawaii.

The first encounter saw the Titans host a meticulous game against the UC Davis Aggies. The hard-fought match ended with the Titans scoring the decisive goal in the 64th minute.

The dominance that

Fullerton lacked in the game against the Aggies was in full force against Hawaii. The Titans routed the Rainbow Wahine 4-0, as forward Rebecca Wilson controlled the pitch since kickoff.

Vs. UC Davis In the midst of winning nine straight home games since 2014, the Titans knew a lot was hinging on Friday

night’s contest against the Aggies.

The Titans looked sharp on both sides of the field, edging the Aggies 1-0 at the final whistle.

In the first half, senior midfielder Christina Burkenroad corralled a pass then sent a lob to Wilson, who was in a footrace with the Aggie’s central defense towards goal.

The referee’s flag stayed down as Burkenroad’s finely-timed pass split two defenders, finding Wilson’s foot and then the back of the net.

Wilson netted the game winner in the 64th minute of play, outrunning UC Davis’ defenders and beating Aggies netminder Alexis Smith at the 18-yard box.

Ice cream gets personalized Inside Skup lets customers create tasty concoctions ERICA SHARP Daily Titan Down the street from Cal State Fullerton, under the University House apartment complex on Commonwealth Avenue, is a new shop dedicated to bringing customers a unique experience.

Inside Skūp, owned by Nyk Hong, is like no other ice cream parlor or bakery in Fullerton.

A family trip to UC Berkeley’s Cream five years ago turned into a major inspiration for her shop, Hong said.

“I saw the line and I saw the students and it looked so fun,” Hong said. “I bought four ice cream sandwiches for me, my husband and my kids and we just loved it. I said, ‘You know, we need a place like this down here.’”

Inside Skūp serves an

assortment of 16 traditional ice cream flavors, such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and cookie dough.

They also offer unique Asian varieties such as ube (a sweet purple yam), coconut, lychee and Thai tea.

Hong said the ice cream comes from two Bay Area suppliers, but primarily from the San Francisco-based shop Double Rainbow.

“They are a super-premium ice cream,” Hong said.

“They’re natural, they don’t have any GMOs. They use just real quality ingredients, not like artificial, chemically-sounding names.”

Inside Skūp bakes all cookies and brownies in-house and includes Asian-inspired and traditional cookies such as snickerdoodle, red velvet, matcha green tea and chocolate potato chip.

All flavors are created exclusively by Hong, who collaborates with a friend who is a trained pastry chef.

“I just love all these flavors. I came up with the ideas and we brainstorm

Although the shop has been open for only two months, the Thai coconut and the snickerdoodle cookies have quickly

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team continued facing troubles this weekend as it dropped its 16th straight game of the season on the road against the UC Davis Aggies by a set score of 3-0.

Going in with an overall 0-15 record and a Big West Conference record of 0-3, the Titans were certainly not in prime shape to face the Aggies, who were 3-2 in conference play. Ultimately, the match did not last very long, as the Titans failed to win a set.

The Aggies easily ran away with the first set with a score of 25-13. Despite coming out flat in the first set, the Titans kept the second set close as the score fluctuated throughout.

Down the stretch, the Titans led 23-22 at the end of the second set, but eventually crumbled, as they suffered a late three-point rally by the Aggies. This gave UC Davis a commanding 2-0 set lead.

With the game on the line going into the third set, the Titans once again failed to go down fighting, losing by a score of 25-18.

As a team, the Titans formulated a disappointing hit percentage of .140 compared to the Aggies’ hit percentage of .351.

Outside hitter Kyra Hill earned 11 of the team’s 33 kills, while setter Mackenzie Olsen dished out 29 assists to go along with her seven digs and a team-high four blocks.

The loss to the Aggies marks the 10th game of the season the Titans have been swept in sets by opposing teams. Now, Fullerton sits on an overall record of 0-16 and a conference record of 0-4.

The Titans continue their road trip as they head to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Friday to battle the Mustangs at the Mott Athletic Center.

Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Autism held its second annual “Social for Adults with Autism and their Caregivers” at the Titan Student Union underground.

The event helps give older individuals with autism a chance to socialize and make connections with peers. It also serves as a day to allow their caretakers to relax, meet other caretakers and discuss what opportunities they feel individuals with autism are lacking.

As the guests entered the TSU underground, they were greeted by a welcome committee and were led to the guest registration. The adults with autism were then paired with volunteers, allowing their caregivers to unwind, converse with others in similar situations and talk to autism experts. Some children, however, did not want to venture off from their parents.

“I was just observing, but he always wanted to be with me,” said Martha Pedroza, parent of a

16-year-old with autism.

Other parents and caretakers immediately embraced the opportunity for a break.

“I’m sitting down doing nothing. That doesn’t happen often for a parent with a child with autism,” said Anna Ginoris-Requena, mother of a 21-year-old daughter with autism.

There were many activities for people to participate in, such as bowling, billiards and dancing. Guests also played “People Bingo,” a game where players socialize by asking other players questions to fill their bingo cards. Some watched the Patriots-Cowboys game on TV, while others interacted with the Saber Guild, a group of individuals dressed as Star Wars characters as part of a nonprofit organization that volunteers and raises money for charities.

Bonnie Gillman, founder of Grandparent Autism Network, felt the most important activity was the “interest group” division, in which guests were broken up into groups based on topics they chose, such as sports or gaming. They would then exchange contact information with their group members and, hopefully, form friendships.

Ryan Johnson, a 26-year-old

with autism, was looking forward to the sports interest group. Other guests, such as Cory Quitdua, enjoyed the food most of all.

The event was sponsored by the Grandparent Autism Network. Gillman was the one who reached out to CSUF’s Center for Autism, connecting it with UC Irvine and Chapman University organizations.

Gillman and Erica Howell, the co-director of the Center for Autism, helped lobby for the involvement of the other universities. Her efforts are so appreciated that she was called “an ace card in the deck of life” by Zach Halop, whose 21-year-old son has autism.

“It’s a chance for all the kids who are past the age of continuation schools or close to that to have a social outlet,” Halop said. “Once special needs kids get past 22 there’s a saying called ‘flying off the cliff’ where they don’t have social interaction anymore.”

“I’ve never really been exposed to people with autism. I wanted to gain a better understanding and give back,” said Amber Cornelious, a CSUF biology major who volunteered at the event.

There will be two more socials this school year: one each at UC Irvine and Chapman.

CSUF students network with insurance companies Over 30 companies were invited to recruit students GRAHAM MCTAGUE Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton students gathered in the Steven G. Mihaylo Hall’s courtyard Thursday to mingle with some of the country’s largest insurance companies during “Insurance Day,” a networking event hosted by the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics Center for Insurance Studies (CIS).

The event brought in over 30 insurance companies from all over the United States and gave students a chance to talk to recruiters about job opportunities. Students were also able to sit in on a human resources panel to learn how to build better résumés and improve their interview skills with mock interviews.

Keynote speaker Troy Mette, managing director at AIG Insurance, encouraged students to follow their passion and find a place in the

insurance industry that fits their skill set.

One of Mette’s focal points during his speech was the importance of building relationships.

“Everyone can commoditize our products,” Mette said. “But if you truly have a relationship and understand someone’s business, then you have a much better chance of success.”

The goal of the event is to expose students, regardless of major, to the possibility of a career in the insurance industry, said Weili Lu, Ph.D., CIS Director. Communication is the most important skill in the industry, she said.

“If students have that background, (companies) would love to hire them, so this is for (the) whole campus,” Lu said.

Insurance Day has been held annually for the last seven years, and the event has placed nearly 1,500 students in jobs, 95 percent of whom are in non-sales positions, in the insurance industry, Lu said.

Many representatives from previous Insurance Day events, like Dana Taylor, a

senior human capital business partner with Mercury Insurance.

“I’ve been here since the very beginning of the inception of (Insurance Day) and been recruiting and partnering with Cal State Fullerton for the last 17 years,” Taylor said.

Other companies, like Geico Insurance, came to CSUF for Insurance Day for the first time Thursday.

“We are here to educate (students) on what kinds of careers and opportunities Geico has to offer,” said Jill Burner, a college recruiter for Geico. “We take resumes, we talk to them, we give cards so they can contact us and then from there that’s where we’ll start to set up interviews and take the hiring process a little further.”

Jonathan Saldivar, a business and finance major, interned with Nationwide Financial over the summer and was at Insurance Day to look for potential jobs.

“I kind of got exposed to insurance and financial insurance through them and I just want to look for more opportunities out here,” he said.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed multiple bills into law Saturday, including one allowing automatic voter registration at the DMV and another prohibiting the possession of concealed weapons on school and college campuses, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The “New Motor Voter Act” takes effect on Jan. 1, and once the necessary database systems are prepared, voters will be automatically registered at the DMV unless they choose to opt out.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said that 6.6 million Californians are not registered to vote.

Brown also took action banning concealed weapons on campuses following the Oregon school shooting over a week ago. Exceptions to the law include those with licenses for concealed weapons and current or retired law enforcement officials.

School officials can also grant exceptions.

Protests erupt after bombings Thousands raised flags and marched throughout Turkey on Sunday to protest Saturday’s apparent suicide bombings that killed nearly 100 demonstrators, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Two bombs injured 246 people at a peaceful rally Saturday calling for an end to the Kurdish conflict. Of the injured, 65 were in critical condition.

Protestors distrust government investigations, but intelligence officials have considered Islamic State militants as the likely perpetrators.

Demonstrators also decried the Turkish military’s plan for more airstrikes targeting Kurdish militants in southeast Turkey and northern Iraq on Sunday. A day before, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party announced a unilateral cease-fire.

Science fair digs into prehistory ‘Prehistoric OC’ offers chance to interact with natural sciences MICAH AUGIMERI-LEE Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton Geology Club was one of the many organizations present at the Cooper Center in Buena Park during the annual “Prehistoric OC” event this past Saturday.

The annual community outreach program has been active since 2012. The goal was to educate the public about the local prehistoric environment with a focus on providing children with fun activities to participate in and learn.

Prehistoric OC has been a popular event among families because of its focus on entertaining and educating the children. The event prepares them to make conscientious decisions about their environment in the future.

“We have been making a special effort to get these kids interested in science,” said Jere Lipps, Cooper Center director. “All kids seem to be interested in dinosaurs and paleontology or archaeology, but then they lose that interest someplace around when they’re teenagers.”

CSUF’s Geology Club booth displayed an array of various minerals together with a large geological map of Orange County. They also conducted demonstrations for the children, using Oreo cookies, showing how the Earth’s plates shift.

“We’re just trying to kind of provide some community outreach so that people are more aware of the

environment they live in,” said Veronica Smith, CSUF’s Geology Club activity coordinator. “I think teaching them now will give them a greater respect for the Earth as something you actually need to protect in the future.”

The event that rounded up the most attention Saturday was CSUF geology professor Vali Memeti’s volcano demonstration.

The eruptions were created by submerging a weighted plastic bottle filled with liquid nitrogen into a trash bucket filled with water.

Memeti jokingly referred to the demonstration as a “Trashcano.”

Each eruption was bigger than the previous, and the crowd reacter with gasps of surprise.

“It’s a way to apply the sciences and understand the Earth underneath us,” said Memeti. “I think this really gives exposure to kids and they hopefully remember this.”

Many children think of geology as just a hobby or pastime, Memeti said. By exposing them to this kind of information and showing them that this is an actual path they can follow down in life, it may lead them to actually want to become scientists.

“If we can get them hooked in science by using paleontology and archaeology as a gateway science, then the physics and chemistry come easier,” Lipps said. “There’s plenty of opportunities for everybody in science.”

In addition to the information booths, demonstrations and activities, live animals such as tarantulas, snakes, lizards and wolfdogs were on display for attendees to touch and take pictures with.

Jazz and Big Band dazzle CSUF Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and Big Band display finesse GABE ESPIRITU Daily Titan Black formal attire contrasted against the golden reflections of trumpets, trombones and saxophones at the Meng Concert Hall.

The venue, located in the Joseph A.W. Clayes III Performing Arts Center, was filled with jazz enthusiasts of all ages.

The Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and Jazz Big Band showcased the music of German composer Dieter Mack last Thursday night to 313 guests who tapped their feet and drummed along to the infectious rhythms produced by the two performing bands.

The two groups played big band jazz, a genre that originated in the 1920s.

The ensembles have been featured on a nationwide radio broadcast for the Playboy Jazz Festival, won the Pacific Coast Collegiate Jazz Festival and performed by invitation at many leading Southern California events.

Big Band trumpet player Christian Lissner, who was playing his fifth show for Cal State Fullerton, said this performance produced a much larger audience than usual, but having his friends in the audience gave him extra confidence.

Newly appointed Dean of the College of the Arts, Dale

Merrill, was in attendance to see his students liven up the crowd.

The band had the audience bobbing their heads with “Funky Padma Boss” and showed off its dexterity with “Sunda-Jive,” which featured rolling bass lines, wailing saxophones and a keyboard solo with pianist Mina Choi rapidly shuffling through the keys.

A few taps of the musicians’ feet set the rhythm for the 12 collective songs performed by the Big Band and Orchestra.

The preparation involved in putting on a show of this caliber demanded extensive practice, both individually and from the group as a whole.

For trombone player Steve Layton, who contributes to both the Orchestra and the Big Band, it’s about “just sitting down and running down the music, using a metronome and working out the tough parts.”

The jazz band’s commitment to practice is reflected in the music it produces and in the support that it receives.

Friends of Jazz is a nonprofit organization created in 1999 whose motto is “Keeping Music in the Schools.” Individuals, organizations and businesses raise funds for the nonprofit, allowing Friends of Jazz to support universities.

Friends of Jazz showed its support by awarding the CSUF music department a $10,000 grant as a sign of partnership with the university.

RENZY REYES / DAILY TITAN

Director Chuck Tomlinson smiles with the band in between performances at Meng Concert Hall. The evening was dedicated to the jazz compositions of German composer Dieter Mack.

Through all the hard work, the most important thing for music director Kye Palmer is that everybody has fun.

“I think Art Blakey said it best when he said, ‘My job is to wash away the dust of everyday life,’” Palmer said.

“I feel like if everybody is prepared and the hard work is done before the concert, when we get to the concert it should just be more playful.

Everybody should just enjoy themselves.”

Palmer felt that hard work put in by the students was evident in their performance.

“This was the best the band has played together,” Palmer said.

The Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and Big Band performed jazz numbers that showed off their hours of meticulous practice. The ensemble kept audiences tapping their feet to the smooth melodies.

“The doughnuts we don’t make here, we just buy them,” Hong said. “We do the warm doughnut. We seal it with ice cream inside and it’s really good.”

Guests are warmly greeted as they line up to customize their orders.

The friendly staff is ready to aid patrons in designing their ice cream creations.

Patrons can choose from three sandwich sizes, with the option of including one or two ice cream scoops.

Prices are $3.25 for a small, $4.75 for a medium and $5.50 for a large.

All toppings, such as rainbow sprinkles, marshmallows, peanuts, M&Ms, cereal mixes and Japanese mochi, are free.

The bright interior is decked out in pastel pink, green and yellow tiles that match the colorful ice cream varieties, creating a

fun and hip atmosphere.

A chalkboard filled with inspirational quotes and drawings spans the back wall above the seating area.

Inside Skūp works with numerous CSUF organizations through fundraisers to give back to students.

Earlier this semester, free ice cream was offered to incoming students, which Hong said is something she would like to do again around Christmas time to bring holiday cheer.

Hong hopes that Inside Skūp will become known as CSUF’s ice cream shop, just like UCLA’s Diddy Riese.

“I would like for it to be something like that Diddy Riese, where it’s known as Cal State Fullerton’s very own ice cream sandwich shop,” Hong said.

Inside Skūp is open every day from noon to 11 p.m.

Friendly staff are on hand to help customers create their custom frozen confections. Along with 16 specialty ice cream flavors, Inside Skup also serves housemade brownies and cookies with flavors such as snickerdoodle, matcha green tea, red velvet and lychee.

Fair Pay Act will help close wage gap

New law allows workers to sue for gender-bias payment SULE RECINOS Daily Titan

Gender pay disparity has been a divisive issue for decades. Women should be compensated with the same pay as their male counterparts, and a new law in California will help to ensure that women have the tools to obtain equal pay for equal work.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed the Fair Pay Act, which gives women equal pay protections in their respective workplaces, this past Tuesday. The law will go into effect Jan 1.

This will be beneficial for women across the state in that it will help close the wage gap. After so many years of fighting for equal pay, women can feel a victory that feels akin to women’s suffrage.

Women working full-time averaged a weekly earning of $716, while men averaged $867 for the same amount of hours worked in the first quarter of the year 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This $151 difference may not seem like much to some, but it adds up. Money only stretches so far, particularly for necessities such as groceries, gas and rent, as the cost of living in California continues to rise. In some cases, this could cause individuals to consider leaving their current job or pick up a second or third job to make ends meet for themselves and their families.

Equal pay legislation already exists in California, according to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

On Tuesday Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law the Fair Pay Act, which will help to ensure equal pay for women. Research from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that women working full time earned on average $151 per week less than men working the same amount of hours in the first quarter of 2014.

and falls under the authority of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which already prohibits gender wage discrimination. The California Fair Pay Act expands on it.

In spite of the Equal Pay Act, research has shown a

trend in median wage earnings that favors men over women. It hasn’t given women the income they deserve to earn.

The extension of the Fair Pay Act gives women protection they didn’t have prior.

The difference between the two is that the Fair Pay Act expands protections against retaliation and gives any person the right to sue if he or she is paid less than someone performing the same job. Higher

wages can only be justified based on seniority, merit or “quantity or quality of production,” according to CBS. California could now be a leading example for the rest of the country to help

eliminate the wage gap between men and women.

Pay raises in the workplace should never be based on an individual’s gender, and it’s about time legislation states that it can only be based on his or her merits.

The terminally ill should die on their own terms California law allowing assisted suicide will minimize suffering BOBBIE URTEZ Daily Titan California is finally among the handful of states where doctor-assisted suicides are legal.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation last Monday, according to CNN, and has provided an option for terminally ill people who do not want to suffer or have their families watch them suffer.

Death with dignity has been a long fought battle, beginning with Dr. Jack Kevorkian in 1990, and most recently in the headlines with the late Brittany Maynard, a terminally ill woman who had to travel out of state in order to end her suffering legally.

Dr. Kevorkian was seen as a criminal and a murderer for assisting in the suicides of his patients, some of which were committed with a suspended medical license. In an attempt to stop Kevorkian and his campaigning, Michigan outlawed assisted suicides.

Nonetheless, he continued on until 1998 when he was charged with second-degree murder following the assisted suicide of a patient with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s

disease. Kevorkian was sentenced to 25 years in prison with possibility of parole.

This was the last time assisted-suicide made national news until 2014 when Brittany Maynard, a young Californian woman, discovered she had terminal brain cancer. After months of contemplation, she and her husband moved to Oregon so that she could legally partake in “death with dignity,” according to CNN. No one should have to leave their home and their loved ones for the right to alleviate their pain and end their life on their own terms.

With Brown’s signature, patients with less than six months to live now have the option to end their lives on their own time and when they feel ready.

Those who are opposed to the bill have concerns; some are legitimate, but others are baseless.

One concern is that doctors will try to kill their patients.

But the law stipulates that a doctor and patient must go through a series safeguards before a death with dignity can occur. A number of written requests have to be submitted, after which the approval of two doctors is required, and the patient must be able to take the medication independently. There must also be two witnesses, only one of whom can be a relative,

according to NBC News.

Another concern is that the right-to-die medication is too expensive and “will push people into cheaper lethal options,” according to Californians Against Assisted Suicide.

Assuming the group meant that patients not able to afford an assisted suicide will commit suicide on their own, what leads them to believe that terminally ill people have not already been committing suicide due to a lack of options?

Some critics believe that there will be an increase in the number of suicides as a result of the law. The challengers must remember that the option is only for those whose conditions are terminal, and would not be considered for patients who are depressed or mentally ill.

A baseless concern is that the new law goes against “God’s will.” People seem to forget about separation of church and state. Religion should serve as a basis for morality, not for telling others how to live or end their lives.

One could argue that medicine in general goes against God’s will, seeing as not all medications are natural.

The new legislation is going to allow terminally ill patients the option to die comfortably on their time. It is not only what is best for our community, but it is also what is most humane.

Women’s golf face final trip

CSUF heads to Washington for the Harbottle Invitational RYAN PORTER Daily Titan

RENZY REYES / DAILY TITAN

Head Coach Demian Brown applauded his team’s performances in a weekend that saw the Titans score five goals in two games.

After tying for seventh place at the Wyoming Cowgirl Desert Classic in Palm Desert, California, the Cal State Fullerton women’s golf team will head to Lakewood, Washington for the Pat Lesser Harbottle Invitational.

The Titans will play the par72, Tacoma Country Club and Golf Course through two days.

The first day will hold the first two rounds of 36-holes and the Titans will finish out the last 18-holes of the tournament the following morning.

The course features an interesting collection of holes.

The front nine consists of six par-4s, and two par-3s, leaving the sole par five until the ninth hole. In contrast, the back nine features three par-5s, four more par-4s and another two par-3s.

The Tacoma Golf and Country Club will play differently than the Classic Club course the Titans faced in Palm Desert last week. Lacking any “doglegs,” or curving fairways that bend around trees and other obstacles, the Tacoma course consists of mainly straight-away fairways that are straight shots to the greens, which should lead to lower scores.

The Titans will face 15 other teams in the tournament, including three teams ranked in the Golfweek Top 100. The Titans are currently ranked at 125th in the same rankings.

Currently, Martina Edberg

ranks 76th in Golfweek’s individual standings. She has had an outstanding season, with a scoring average under par at 71.38. Her low scores have earned her two top five finishes this season, including a first place ranking at the Cowgirl Desert Intercollegiate.

Edberg is having her best season yet for Fullerton, shooting four rounds with less than 70 strokes in three tournaments, having done that only three times in her first two seasons combined.

The Titans have been improving their scores since the beginning of the season, and will look to continue this trend out in Washington.

The Titans will begin tournament play with two rounds on Monday, and will finish off the final round on Tuesday at the Tacoma Golf and Country Club.

Vs. UH The Titans aimed to capitalize on the momentum from Friday night’s victory.

In Fullerton’s 4-0 win against the Rainbow Wahine, Wilson showed her brutal attacking prowess by scoring a hat-trick and recording an assist to lead the Titans to a 2-1-0 Big West Conference record.

The match seemed to be pretty tight by the end of first half, with a scoreline

of 1-0, but it quickly turned into a one-sided affair as Hawaii scrambled to control the coming onslaught.

Hawaii goalkeeper Monk Berger has been solid throughout the season but was unable to contain Wilson and company.

Berger was subbed at the 72nd minute after making eight saves but conceding all four goals to the home team.

Although only two different Titans scored, an all-around team effort was

on display as five different players recorded an assist.

Head Coach Demian Brown credited his team’s hard work and training for his team’s overall success this weekend.

“We’ve done a lot of things well that will keep us going through the season,” Brown said.

The Titans will visit the UC Irvine Anteaters on Friday. They will then play the UC Riverside Highlanders Saturday at the UC Riverside Soccer Stadium.

Although they could not put a winning performance two games in a row, the Titans still lead the Big West south as they prepare for their division games.

The Titans had a bad week ahead of their division games ALAN BERNAL Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team allowed its first two goals in Big West Conference play this weekend as it split two games with a tie and loss.

In the weekend’s first encounter, Cal Poly Pomona and CSUF tied in a game that saw both teams struggling to produce any kind of quality offense. Both teams recorded 17 shots but scored no goals between them in 110 minutes of play.

Fullerton was held scoreless for the first time since its season opener against Ohio State on Aug. 28. The

Titans and Mustangs tied for the first time in their 29 Division I games, as Fullerton managed to record only two shots on goal in the second half of the game.

The script was much more eventful when Fullerton hosted UC Santa Barbara. The Titans faced a dangerous Gauchos team that earned a 4-0-0 conference record after its win at Titan Stadium on Saturday.

The home team struck first in the 77th minute when midfielder Julian Okai tallied his first goal of the season. The goal came from a Zach Bryan throwin that found Okai, who volleyed it to the right of Gauchos goalkeeper Justin Vom steeg.

The Titans evidently lost their focus, giving up a penalty shot a minute later. Santa Barbara’s Kevin

Feucht managed to convert his chance from the 12-yard spot, tying the game 1-1.

The Titans conceded a goal in the first overtime to break the deadlock, giving them their first conference loss this season. Santa Barbara’s National Player of the Week, Nick DePuy, cemented his case for another award as he netted his fourth consecutive game winner for the Gauchos.

Although this week saw the Titans record their first tie and loss in the Big West, they still lead the Big West South Division with a 2-11 record and seven points, three points ahead of the 1-2-1 Cal State Northridge.

The Titans will begin their division games Wednesday against the Cal State Northridge Matadors at Performance Soccer Field.
