Lessons learned from space shuttle disasters

Jessica Watts publishes new children’s book JENNIE VU Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton alumna Jessica Watts loves the unusual. Her children’s book, titled “Frank N’ Goat,” is just that. The book is about two unlikely friends, Frankenstein and a goat named ‘Goat.’ They go on numerous adventures together from, sharing a cup of tea to creating online dating profiles. Watts doesn’t have a specific audience for this book, but said it is intended for “immature adults and kids alike.” A big fan of wordplay, Watts hid plenty of puns and pop culture references throughout “Frank N’ Goat.” If the reader looks closely, he or she will find references from the original Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley, goat heads and Winnie the Pooh in the pictures. “It’s the type of book where the more you read, the more you find,” Watts said. It took almost two years to write and illustrate “Frank N’ Goat.” Watts, who minored in fine arts at CSUF, illustrated all of the watercolor artwork included in the book. SEE BOOK

Mark Maier, Ph.D., a leadership professor from Chapman University, draws comparisons between NASA’s failed space shuttle launches and management theory in a lecture on Tuesday. The lecture is part of a series hosted by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

Lecture relates leadership to NASA’s failures GRAHAM MCTAGUE Daily Titan In an Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) hosted seminar, Mark Maier, Ph.D., presented NASA’s

Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters through the lense of organization and management leadership lessons, Tuesday. Maier used the two shuttle disasters as examples of decision making and risk assessment. Maier is the associate professor of leadership in the College of Educational Studies at Chapman University and is also director of

the undergraduate Leadership Studies Program. Maier introduced two prominent styles of leadership, “the power model” and “the service model,” along with his proposed “alternative paradigm” to these existing methods. “(The power model) is the prevailing model of leadership,” Maier said. This style of leadership is anchored on control from

the boss and how a person can maximize their own personal gain without upsetting the leader, he said. It was NASA’s reliance on the power model that led to the disasters during the Challenger and Columbia launches, Maier said. Maier agreed with a vocal member of the audience that most successful businesses use a combination of both the power and service

leadership models. “You have two tragic failures, separated 17 years apart,” said Maier. “Those who can’t learn from the past are destined to repeat it.” He said that there is a way to prevent situations like the Challenger’s from happening by embracing a newer approach to leadership. SEE SPACE 3

Health center teaches nutrition skills Students learn to create more balanced meals JENNIE VU Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Health and Counseling Center held its weekly nutrition workshop on Tuesday to give students a basic rundown on the common mistakes people make in their eating habits. This is the center’s third year hosting free workshops for students. The topics alternate every week. Tuesday’s topic was “Nutrition 101,” which focused on the common misconceptions regarding protein and whole grains. Nutrition advocates and peer health educators Christine Jimenez and Daniel Quezada educated

participants about the kinds of food that students should and shouldn’t eat. On a powerpoint presentation, slides talked about each food category: fruits, vegetables, grain, dairy, fat and meat. For each topic, there were facts about how each of the types of food are important for the human body. Jimenez and Quezada went over the basics for each food group, such as serving sizes, appropriate daily amounts and nutritional value for the body. The workshop was small and gave students a chance to interact with educators. There was discussion about habits that students need to break in order to stay healthy, like the over consumption of proteins, Quezada said. “Most Americans eat more protein than they actually should,” he said.

Meat and cheese have high saturated fat, which is a staple in virtually all fast-food restaurants, Quezada said. Most Americans eat too much whole grain, Quezada said. He suggested that half of the six to nine recommended servings of grain should be whole grain. The remainder could be processed grain products like white rice or white bread. A good rule of thumb is that half of a meal’s plate should be made up of vegetables, Jimenez said . “It’s recommended to try to limit dressings and sauces on your vegetables,” she said.

Students to discuss diversity, network with local employers Diverse student panel to ask about safe workplaces

Editorial

from the Choose MyPlate website. In the past, government health organizations would use just the food pyramid as a reminder of what amount from each food group is optimal for a balanced diet. An initiative spearheaded by First Lady Michelle Obama created the diagram to give the public an idea on how each group should be proportionately represented on a plate. After learning about the food groups and their facts, Jimenez and Quezada focused on the topic of eating well in college. Many college students struggle to keep a healthy lifestyle due to academic burdens. A “grab and go” eating habit usually leads to poor choices, especially between classes, Quezada said. “We promote not just nutrition but all different topics on health,” Quezada said.

BOBBIE URTEZ Daily Titan Students will get a chance to talk to potential employers about safe and comfortable work environments for minorities at “Voices in the Workplace,” Wednesday. The networking event will include discussion for employers and students representing various identities to talk about what makes a work environment more welcoming to a more diverse company. The event will be “engaging employers in a discussion around diversity and inclusion in the workplace,” said Anthony Ragazzo, director of the ASI LGBT/Queer Resource Center.

Voices in the Workplace is a collaborative program between the Career Center, the ASI LGBT/Queer Resource Center, the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center, the Diversity Initiative Resource Center and Veteran Student Services. “There will be a panel of students to represent a variety of identities and they will be sharing some of their thoughts,” Ragazzo said. In addition to a broad overview of concerns, students will be given the opportunity to have small group discussions with the businesses representatives to address more specific issues, Ragazzo said. This will allow students to engage and network with potential employers. The employers also benefit by gaining insight on creating safe and

comfortable work environments for workers of all backgrounds, said Stephanie Reyes, assistant director of employer relations at the Career Center. The discussion is part of the LGBTQ History Month celebrations and comes as a part of series of career fair workshops and discussions hosted by the Career Center and ASI LGBT/ Queer Center for the fall semester. It’s important for the employers and students to talk about diversity as it applies to the company’s’ hiring practices, Reyes said. The discussion will be held in the Ontiveros ABC room in the Titan Student Union today at 2:30 to 4 p.m. It is open to all students, but organizers encourage students to show up early, as the space only holds up to a capacity of 50.

China warns U.S. navy ship China warned and tracked a U.S. Navy warship when it sailed close to a one of the country’s artificial islands in the South China Sea on Tuesday, according to CNN. Cui Tiankai, Chinese diplomat to the United States, said it was a move by Washington to militarize the region. “It is a very absurd and even hypocritical position to ask others not to militarize the region while one’s self is sending military vessels there so frequently,” he said. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter testified to a Senate panel about the incident. “We will fly, sail and operate wherever international law permits and whenever our operational needs require,” he said.

The 408 small quakes that occurred in San Ramon over the course of the last two weeks is almost four times the record of quakes previously set in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2003, according to NBC. The majority of these quakes are minimal, and too small to be felt, however, the largest of the recent chain hit at a magnitude 3.6. Experts are baffled over the low-magnitude earthquake phenomenon. “We just don’t understand the structural geology of the swarms, why they turn on and shut off quickly,” geologist David Schwartz said. “We just don’t understand.”

H. Jochen Schenk, Ph.D., a biology professor at Cal State Fullerton, talked about the mysterious ways plants move water from the ground to the air. The Tuesday lecture focused on transpiration, a process in which water starts at plant roots, travels up plant stems, and ends up on leaf blades, ready to evaporate into the atmosphere. With this process, plants move as much water as all the rivers on earth move to the ocean, Schenk said. The talk, called “River to the Sky: How Plants Move our Planet’s Water,” is part of a series of lectures in the Pollak Library exploring themes from “Dune,” a series of science fiction novels set on a desert planet.

No charges were filed against South Carolina police officer Mark Tillman in the shooting of unarmed 19-year-old Zachary Hammond. Residents have expressed outrage due to results from a private autopsy and conflicting statements the officer initially made. Tillman stated that he had shot Hammond twice at point blank range to prevent him from running him over headon with his car. However, the autopsy revealed gunshot wounds to the side, back and through the driver’s side window. Dash-cam video released on Oct. 27 has surfaced and shows Tillman shooting from the side. - MAHDEE GILL

Maier continued his demonstration by going over the complications that occurred during the takeoff of the Challenger spacecraft, explaining that there were roughly 829 critical items that needed to be in perfect condition before take-off.

Maier explained how NASA had a hierarchy at the time that was designed to catch problems early in order to avoid complications with the project. After discovering problems with the O-rings, Maier said workers on the shuttle brought them to NASA’s attention. The contributing factors to these problems were later withdrawn from the files which were submitted to higher level staff. “Bad news is being kept from them,” Maier said. “One of the reasons for that is that NASA has already invested $100 million in building a

second launch facility.” Another reason the information was withheld from NASA executives was because of the management hierarchy, Maier said. Staff members were too scared to bring the O-ring issue to the attention of their bosses and that it is a consequence of following the power model, he said. “There’s actually a lot of fear ... that characterizes (the power) model,” Maier said. “Fear on the part of people who hold power to not have their power challenged.” The power model conflicts with Maier’s proposed model. “That’s very different from

this alternative view, which is the service model of leadership,” Maier said. “It’s anchored in service. You’re not serving the boss but all of you together are serving a higher purpose.” Maier said that in the service model approach, the focus is generated towards the long term success of the organization and what it represents, an approach that he favored over the power model. “We’re so enamored with this idea that it’s the results that count first,” Maier said. “Goals and results obviously matter, but they should be driven by your vision and your purpose.”

Local barbecue spot, Big B’s Barbecue serves up classic southern fare at affordable prices. The family-owned establishment boasts a simple menu that focuses on ribs, barbecue sandwiches, burgers and traditional sides such as potato salad, french fries and coleslaw. The eatery offers catering options for private parties and events to those who want to throw a southern-inspired shindig.

Big B’s serves southern fare Extension of local bar offers classic barbecue options BOBBIE URTEZ Daily Titan Big B’s Barbecue is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that looks like it can seat around 25 people at most. If one does not know where to look, it is easy to miss. The restaurant is located in the Albertson’s shopping center on Yorba Linda Boulevard and Placentia Avenue, and is most accessible through Palm Drive. The restaurant is nestled between a barbershop and a small sports bar. Big B’s Barbecue actually began as Brian’s Beer and Billiards, a local sports bar in Fullerton, in the early ‘80s. The owner, Brian Fairley, used what he learned from other restaurants to create the best bar he could. The bar would host different types of tournaments and bus trips to sporting events. After a few years, Fairley wanted to expand the menu for his growing customer base. He purchased the space next door to his bar and made it into Big B’s Barbecue. The younger restaurant has become popular in its own right, and has also become a catering service for events.

The dining options are similar to other barbecue joints and includes: ribs, barbecue and classic sandwiches, burgers and traditional sides such as potato salad, coleslaw and fries. The pulled pork sliders are one popular dish. Served on cardboard plate, three bread rolls are filled abundantly with pulled pork, with a pile of fries and a side of barbecue sauce. The pork is moist, the rolls are soft and the sauce is tangy. The fries are freshly made, hot, crunchy and perfectly salted. The ribs, cooked to order, are worth the 15-minute-wait. The ribs are lightly coated in barbecue sauce and come with a styrofoam cup of extra sauce on the side for those who prefer their ribs smothered in sauce. Contrary to popular belief, ribs are not supposed to fall off the bone. When eating ribs, the meat is supposed to be pulled cleanly off the bone with teeth. These ribs did exactly that. What adds to the experience is knowing that some of the staff have been with Big B’s for up to 20 years. The staff is as familiar with the kitchen as anyone else might be with the kitchen in their home. There is something comforting in having your meal prepared with tradition that makes the long standing routine wait okay.

New album tackles adversity 5 Seconds of Summer matures in sophomore effort ERICA SHARP Daily Titan The four-piece pop-punk band 5 Seconds of Summer, from Sydney, Australia released its sophomore album, “Sounds Good, Feels Good,” last Friday. With the radio-dominated rhythms of electronic dance music (EDM) and pop artists today, such as Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, 5 Seconds of Summer is an “outcast band,” making “Sounds Good, Feels Good” a refreshing new spin. The album features ‘90s punk revival sounds like Good Charlotte and All Time Low, mixed with segments of orchestral harmonies and interesting sound effects. This new album displays a much darker sound for the band compared to their first self-titled album released last June. Much like the first album, “Sounds Good, Feels Good” features peppy, upbeat tunes with masterful lyrics, but has taken a more mature turn by addressing topics such as poverty, heartache and an underlining theme of brokenness. The new album opens with “Money,” a catchy

track fueled with the spirits of staying young, owning the night and living large, backed by bright, distorted guitars, harking back to fellow pop-punk band Fall Out Boy’s smash hit “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down.” The second track, “She’s Kinda Hot”, is fueled by angst and disillusion, making it the true anthem song of the “New Broken Scene,” a term coined by the band to start a revolution of outcasts. A proficient guitar solo in the middle of the track demonstrates their immense talent and musical proficiency. The album’s third track, “Hey Everybody!” is an amped-up, alternative version of “Hungry Like The Wolf” by Duran Duran. Unlike the 1982 hit, “Hey Everybody!” it’s about the dream of striking it rich and serves as an inspiration for escaping poverty with the lyrics, “We don’t have to live this way.” Bassist Calum Hood caps off the track with a rich and cool bass lick. “Jet Black Heart” begins with guitarist Michael Clifford belting out about the painful effects of a bad breakup that sets the pace for a transition to a smoother, heartfelt sound that rounds out the last half of the album. “Vapor,” compares the addiction to love, to that of vaping. Songs such as, “I Wanna

Feel You In My Veins,” are combined with the sharp contrast of sweet string melodies and heavy-driving rhythm of electric guitars. With its emotional depth, complexity and lyrics that cut straight to the heart, “Broken Home” proves to be the best track off the album. The song is based on the childhood of the drummer Ashton Irwin and his alcoholic father, according to producer John Feldmann in an interview with Fuse,. The lyrics expose the pain felt by Irwin in a broken home life. Dominated by simplicity, “San Francisco” is a shift into a lighter side of the album with acoustic guitars. Although it is directed towards California’s golden city on the coast, the track’s sunshine-filled nostalgia is something anyone can relate to. “Sounds Good, Feels Good” rounds out with “Outer Space/Carry On” which begins as a plea to restore a lost love and transitions into a message of hope for those struggling with brokenness. The track boasts a heavenly atmosphere, featuring a full choir and an organ. Lead singer and guitarist Luke Hemmings slices through the instrumentals with a powerful and strong voice. Following the new album,

During her time at CSUF, Watts studied abroad in Florence, Italy as part of her fine arts degree. In Florence, she was able to tap into her creative side. She had written for fun, but never seriously considered a job in writing until she studied in Italy and discovered the passion to write a book. The book’s inspiration came a few years ago when she visited a farmer’s market that had a petting zoo filled with baby Pygmy goats. Having a fun, quirky sense of humor, Watts is inspired by things that are out of the ordinary. As for her Frankenstein character, the inspiration wasn’t as immediate. “But I guess it feels quite natural, right?” Watts said. “I mean, who else would be friends with a monster? Goats don’t really care what you look like or smell like.” Watts majored in

advertising when she graduated from CSUF in 2011. Her artwork was displayed in the Pollak Library Honors Center during her time as an undergraduate. She is currently working full-time as a senior strategist at an advertising agency, which allowed her to understand how to advertise and market her own book. She said that writing and promoting her book seemed like another full-time job. “Writing has been my second shift,” Watts said. “Once work is over, I go home and another type of creative work begins. The evenings are for art and writing mostly.” Watts is currently working on a small novel that she describes as a “national treasure story centered around art.” The inspiration behind this piece stemmed from a trip to Italy where she learned about an artist named Piero Manzoni. Manzoni did various

odd artwork and one of the pieces that she saw was a can filled with Manzoni’s poop titled, “Artist’s Sh**.” Watts said it would be an odd but interesting subject to write it about the story behind the piece. Fond of puns and tricky wordplay, Watts intends to include plenty of “refined potty humor,” in her new novel. “Frank N’ Goat” was a success and there is no doubt that Watts will continue writing in the future. She has received many positive reviews and questions about a sequel for the book. She isn’t sure if she will actually do a sequel to “Frank N’ Goat,” but will probably explore the idea of an unlikely friendship again in the future. Watts is happy she’s able to share the story of “Frank N’ Goat” with the world. Although perfectly Halloween themed, the unlikely friendship is a universal concept that transcends time and age.

“Frank N’ Goat” features an unlikely friendship between Frankenstein and a goat. The young author hopes the book will appeal to curious children and fun-loving adults.

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

Netflix is taking the necessary steps in order to become a larger part of the film industry with its recent original feature, “Beasts of No Nation.” The film was previously rejected by major studios, but since its Netflix release it has earned critical acclaim. The decision to release the film shows that Netflix is ready to expand beyond streaming already-made movies and television series’.

Netflix shaking up the film industry Online streaming service gives worthy movies exposure BRENT CABATAN Daily Titan Netflix has become quite the mainstay in the entertainment industry and is now ready to broaden its horizons by purchasing the rights of movies that major studios aren’t keen on, which, in the grand scheme of things, is extremely good for the entertainment industry. The online streaming site

has already made its mark in the television industry by bringing in successful television series’ from fellow networks such as AMC’s “The Walking Dead” and FX’s “American Horror Story.” It’s also made its own successful original series’ like “Daredevil” and “Narcos.” Netflix is becoming a serious contender in the movie arena by going beyond simply making classic movies available to its subscribers, and adding newer movies and attaining the rights to movies that certain studios may not see as

a profitable option. Netflix recently released a film in early October called “Beasts of No Nation,” starring Idris Elba. Elba has also held roles in popular movies like “Pacific Rim” and “Thor.” The original drama is on the controversial topic of child soldiers in war-torn Africa, topics that studios nowadays typically shy away from. This is one of the main reasons why Netflix getting involved in the movie industry is a positive thing. A lot of studios are geared towards producing huge box-office hits that will

make them the most money and get the most recognition. This can hinder the creativity and diversity of the types of films that are released in theaters. Ari Posner, an associate professor in the Department of Radio-TV-Film at Cal State Fullerton, believes that this can change the culture that has become a pattern with big studios. “I think they’re going to be actually steering into doing very good movies that people want to see … Netflix was prepared to make (Beasts of No Nation), and maybe at a budget that

wasn’t going to work necessarily in theaters,” Posner said. The film’s rights were purchased for $12 million, which was around double its production budget. Hollywood studios feel the need to produce big budget thrillers to reach theatre audiences, but a sophisticated and challenging movie that doesn’t necessarily have an enormous audience could still reach a large amount of people on a streaming platform, said Posner, who also is a writer for the FX original series “Married.” “Beasts of No Nation”

was also shown in a small number of theaters for a short period of time and had very little box office success. The feature film was only shown in select theaters in order for it to be eligible to win an Academy Award. The fact that Netflix wants its original feature films to be considered for such prestigious awards is a sign that they want to be taken seriously in both the TV and film industries. With over 69 million subscribers, Netflix has a unique opportunity to get high-quality films to reach a lot of people.

HOROSCOPE Provided by: Tarot.com ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19)

You may be accustomed to the repetitive waves of energy that periodically surge through your life these days. But the Moon’s current visit to your sign is another reminder of the big changes looming everywhere you turn.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

A powerful surge of confidence inspires you to put an untried idea into definitive motion. You can do nearly anything you set your mind to while the Moon lights up your adventurous 9th House of Big Ideas.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

You are sorely tempted to gamble with your heart because you’re feeling lucky in love today. Maintaining a positive attitude is almost always a good rule to follow, but your sunny optimism might be too much of a good thing now. Love is a dance which can’t be rushed.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Social commitments are stacking up on your calendar, making you realize that you don’t have much time to spare. You may need to clarify your boundaries by saying no if you’ve managed to spread yourself too thin.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

You’re craving new experiences today, but reality is telling you to hold your horses. You may be bound to promises you made in a relationship, but something happens that reawakens your desires and re-energizes your passion for living.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Although you possess an ambitious plan to reach your goals, your foundation may be weak if you don’t trust your perceptions. You might be so self-critical now that you assume you can’t sustain your productivity as you move into unfamiliar territory.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

You want people to believe that you’re eagerly embracing the future. You might even pretend that all is perfect in your world today, but you’re afraid of being harshly judged if you admit to holding onto the past. Be honest about your fears: the first step to resolving your insecurities.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

Defining the line between love and codependency is particularly tricky now, especially because making other people happy comes so naturally to you. An equal amount of give and take is essential for a happy and healthy partnership.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You may be spinning your wheels today, distracted by one little thing after another. However, karma gets you every time you wander away from your work and immediately sets you back on track.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

Your urge to be spontaneous could be constrained by memories of a past rejection that arise when you swing into motion. Luckily, reviewing your personal history enables you to learn from previous mistakes and push through the current resistance.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

You’re walking close to an emotional edge today, but it’s wise to keep your feelings to yourself. Your patience has run out and you’re on the threshold of doing something that you might later regret. Try working off your anxiety by exercise.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

You recently embarked on an exciting new path, but you could encounter complications today as someone blocks your way. In fact, the resistance you receive might make you wonder if you’re headed in the right direction. However, there’s no reason to get discouraged.

Women’s Soccer chasing top seed Titans to close out conference play with a pair of games RYAN PORTER Daily Titan After an exciting finish that saw Rebecca Wilson shoot the game-winning goal against Cal State Northridge on Sunday, the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team prepares to take on UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this week. The matchup against CSUN was pivotal for the Titans, as both teams share the same Big West Conference record (5-1-0). The Titans sit tied for first place with UCSB and Cal State Long Beach. As history shows, the Titans are at their best when they play at home. Since the 2014 season, Fullerton is on a 12-game undefeated streak at Titan Stadium. The Titans’ five-game

winning streak is also a sign of the team’s relentless play, as the 12 wins this season is their best since 2007. With two games left in conference play, the Titans have a great chance of improving their record. UCSB is also on a winning streak as they have gone undefeated in the last four Big West Conference games. The Gauchos boast an average shot percentage of .139 for 1.8 goals per game. In conference play, the Gauchos have only lost once which took place on their home field. The Gauchos seem to play well on the road as they have won every game, balancing out the Titans’ home field advantage. Last year against UCSB, Christina Burkenroad led the charge for the Titans’ 4-2 victory by scoring two goals. This year, the victor of this match will be one step closer to taking the Big West Conference title.

RENZY REYES / DAILY TITAN

With the regular season nearly complete, the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team hopes to capture the conference title in order to clinch the no. 1 seed for the Big West Conference Tournament.

The Cal Poly SLO Mustangs are 2-5 in conference play, with an average of 1.39 goals per game while allowing 1.22 goals per game to opponents. The Titans’ impressive 2.3 goals per game and .90 goals

allowed average should be more than enough to fend off the Mustangs. Amid the Titans’ current winning streak, Jennifer Stuart earned the Big West Defensive Player of the Week award after

recording her sixth shutout of the season against CSUN. The redshirt junior has been undefeated this season with a 11-0-0 record while in goal for the Titans. Stuart has 45 saves

and a .66 goals allowed average. The Titans kickoff against the Gauchos on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Titan Stadium and the Mustangs on Sunday at Alex G. Spanos Stadium.

Titans prepare to face undefeated Wahine Women’s volleyball plays no. 23 Hawaii this coming Sunday AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team will travel to the University of Hawaii this week in hopes of winning its first game of the season in a Big West Conference rematch against the Rainbow Wahine. The Titans are currently

at a disappointing overall record of 0-20 and a 0-8 conference record as their 2015 season nears its end. With only eight matches left, it may be too late for Fullerton to completely turn its luck around but there’s still potential to finish the year strong. During the month of October, the Titans have only been able to win two sets in a stretch of six games. The last match versus UC Davis did not fare too well as CSUF was swept by the Aggies 3-0.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Rainbow Wahine will go into the game as the best team in the Big West Conference as they boast an undefeated record of 8-0. As of now, the team is ranked 23rd in the NCAA’s Women’s Volleyball RPI, whereas the Titans are ranked 299th. Hawaii completely dominated its first meeting with Fullerton earlier this month as they handily defeated the Titans 3-0, with set scores of 25-11, 25-16 and 25-13.

In that match, the Titans were held to a lowly .053 hitting percentage while allowing a .362 percentage from the Rainbow Wahine. Hawaii senior setter Kendra Koelsch ran the show for her team against Titans as she recorded three kills, 31 assists and four digs. Per set, Fullerton is averaging 9.94 kills with a .143 hit percentage, 9.11 assists, 1.69 blocks and 13.18 digs. Going into the game this weekend, sophomore outside hitter Kyra Hill continues to be the Titans’

primary offensive weapon as she averages 2.45 kills per set off a .110 hitting percentage. Despite Hill’s impressive overall success, her teammate, senior middle blocker Kandace Thomas, stood out in the first game against Hawaii. Thomas logged in a team season-high with a .700 hitting percentage, tallying seven kills on 10 attempts without an error. Freshman middle blocker Summer Kerins has also been performing well in

her first year as she hitting 2.02 kills per set with a percentage of .141. The offensive orchestrator for Fullerton has been senior setter Mackenzie Olsen as she is averaging nearly eight assists per set. Olsen earned a total of 21 assists during her outing against the Rainbow Wahine. The Titans will look to break their losing streak when they face off against the University of Hawaii at the Stan Sheriff Center this Sunday.
