Man attacks wall, bashes Palestine CLAYTON WONG Daily Titan Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Cal State Fullerton chapter, faced conflict yesterday when a man attacked the “Palestinian Mock Apartheid Wall” and confronted SJP president Noor Salameh.

“He was giving dirty looks to the wall and he started kicking it and threw his jacket at it,” Salameh said. “And then he yelled out a racist slur, saying ‘F*** all Palestinians.’” Salameh described his behavior as “alarming” and “out of the ordinary” for individuals who normally opposed SJP and “deliver their points or opinions very well.” The man was “visibly upset,” said Henry Igboke, a business management major at CSUF who stopped at the

wall because he noticed the commotion. Rather than engaging in a discussion about the state of Israel and Palestine, the individual made personal attacks on Salameh, Igboke said. “He had continued to label all Muslims and Palestinians as terrorists and aggressors,” Salameh said. A third person joined the confrontation to defend Salameh’s position, Igboke said. “He got pretty violent. He kept on telling the other guy, ‘Hey, punch me right now. I’ll get my lawyer. Punch

me,’” Salameh said about the attacker. “He was ready to fight somebody.” Salameh told the man that he would be asked to leave if he continued to be disrespectful. She alerted the event supervisors, who escorted the man from the central quad. Igboke said that the Palestinian Mock Apartheid Wall gave him more information on the issue and helped him understand it better. “It’s doing a good job of sparking up dialogue,” he said. The confrontation helped

Salameh learn how to handle opposition in the future. “I easily could’ve started yelling and talking with my hands a lot more, but it wouldn’t have necessarily solved anything. So I tried to stay as collected as I could,” Salameh said. “I feel really proud and happy with the way I handled myself,” she said. “I think I relayed my message pretty well and I think everybody saw that.” SJP chapters hold workshops taught by community members or more

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church’s Seeds of Hope garden in Fullerton is used to grow produce that is then donated to three local food banks. CSUF alumnus Jonathan Duffy Davis helps the church create farming plans to donate more nutrient-rich food.

Fullerton garden gives produce to community HAYLEY SLYE Daily Titan In front of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Fullerton lies a literal boatload

of plants. Each of the 50 boats represents boats referenced in the Bible. They overflow with fragrant herbs, fresh bell peppers and plump tomatoes. There are bright green heads of lettuce, rich purple eggplants and bean plants that climb up boat “sails.” That’s just a portion of what St. Andrew’s is growing in the Seeds of Hope garden,

and all of the fresh, organic food goes directly to community food banks. “The church is a place that feeds you, and hopefully that will serve the community better than just having a bunch of sidewalks and lawns,” said St. Andrew’s Rev. Beth Kelly. The garden provides food to three local food banks: Heart of Downtown at

Wilshire Avenue Community Church, the Caring Hands Ministry at the First Lutheran Church of Fullerton and Pathways of Hope. Sometimes the food goes straight from the boats to the food banks, said Sheila Lowerre, a chairperson for the Seeds of Hope garden project. SEE BOATS

experienced club members on how to respond to disagreements. In the workshops, SJP members study rhetorical tactics and counterpoints to common arguments used by opposition. Salameh encouraged people to form their own opinion on the issue, so long as they do not approach it from an ignorant perspective. “Even if you’re pro-Israeli, you can still acknowledge that not all Muslims are terrorists,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what you believe in, it’s just stereotyping.”

Cal State Fullerton released its annual Clery Report a day early on Sept. 30. The Clery Report is a document intended to inform students and community members about crime statistics, crime prevention and various services available to them on campus. CSUF, along with other colleges and universities across the country, is required to issue a new report by Oct. 1 every year that covers statistical crime data from the previous three years in compliance with federal law. “The spirit of the report is to provide information to current faculty, staff and students,” said University Police Capt. John Brockie. The report is designed to give an overview about the types of crimes that occur on

Student scholar receives Emeriti award CSUF senior juggles classes and Moot Court preperation VERONICA FELIPE Daily Titan Standing in front of a panel of lawyers, law professors and law students, Jamie Butts argues why a fictional law prohibiting an illegal immigrant from receiving the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is unconstitutional. She speaks for 10 minutes addressing a panel of judges and an opposing team. Forty-five minutes and three additional arguments later, the fictional court proceeding is over and the teams receive

feedback from the judges for next Saturday’s fourhour practice. Welcome to Cal State Fullerton’s Moot Court. Butts, 21, a women and gender studies and political science major, is Moot Court’s team captain. “Moot Court is definitely the most time-intensive, stressful, make-you-wantto-cry, incredibly rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” Butts said. The Moot Court program prepares students for regional and national competitions. Students are given a fictional case that deals with a constitutional issue. The competition simulates Supreme Court proceedings, and students must argue whether they believe a law is constitutional or not. As

team captain, Butts is responsible for reserving rooms for weekend practices, managing practices and boosting team morale. Pamela Fiber-Ostrow, Ph.D., associate professor of political science and Moot Court director, first met Butts in a Law, Politics and Society course. “She impressed me immediately,” Fiber-Ostrow said. “Her first paper and her midterm reflected a really deep understanding of the literature and her ability to think critically.” After encouraging Butts to talk more in class, she realized Butts would be a great fit for Moot Court, Fiber-Ostrow said.

Russia launched 26 missiles into Syria, hitting 11 targets on Wednesday, according to CNN. Russia’s missiles flew 930 miles from the Caspian Sea to their targets, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter called these actions a mistake, Russia was willing to cooperate with the United States to organize attacks on Syria, but NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he was leery of Russia’s interests in fighting the Islamic State. Until the two countries reach a mutual agreement on safety rules in Syrian airspace, U.S. pilots have been ordered to change flight paths if they encounter a Russian plane within 20 nautical miles. - DARLENE CASAS

Knaan noted that socio-economic status did not necessarily dictate whether or not people abuse animals. She mentioned that even white-collar professionals have engaged in dog fighting.

Experts analyze animal abusers Behavior of animal abusers discussed in symposium DARLENE CASAS Daily Titan The College of Humanities and Social Sciences held a symposium Wednesday where experts addressed correlations between animal abuse and criminal behavior, socio-economic status and child development. The purpose of the symposium was to raise awareness about what constitutes animal cruelty, the reasons why it must be taken seriously and links to criminal and other behavior, said Jarret Lovell, criminal justice professor. Frank R. Ascione, scholar-in-residence at the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work, described several studies he conducted, such as one where he found 57 percent of women who experienced domestic violence said their pets were also harmed or killed by their partner. People questioned if the women participating in the

study embellished their testimonies to make their partner look bad, Ascione said, so he addressed their concerns by surveying the criminals. Over half of those he surveyed admitted to having hurt animals. In another study, Ascione found that there are differences between children who feel guilty after abusing animals and those who do not display concern about their behavior. He described a case where a boy displayed no guilt after he cut a cat just to see it bleed to death. Still, abusing animals as children is not compelling evidence for murderous intent in adults, Ascione said. Ascione described the case of Jeffrey Dahmer, known as the Milwaukee cannibal, who dissected and burned the flesh of dead animals years before becoming a serial murderer. Ascione contrasted Dahmer’s behavior to a veterinarian he knows, who admitted she enjoyed collecting and dissecting roadkill growing up. Both displayed different purposes for their fascination. Experts also said that income or education

doesn’t dictate who abuses animals. Deborah Knaan, L.A. County Deputy District Attorney and animal cruelty case coordinator, and Julie Wickser, a Los Angeles police detective, explained that people beat animals regardless of socio-economic status. Both mentioned cases of professionals, such as lawyers or pharmacists, who committed crimes such as animal negligence, dog fighting or cock fighting. Knaan also mentioned that ritualized abuse for religious purposes is not protected under the First Amendment if the animal is killed inhumanely. Knaan said mere neglect can be as tortuous as direct violence as she showed images of a dog with stiff fur unable to walk or defecate. “I hope that animals will be granted the same consideration that we would grant humans,” Lovell said. “The idea that we can simply treat an animal any way we want simply because they are different from us, that is the same logic that has plagued humankind for the history of civilization.”

Costa Mesa rezones motel areas The city of Costa Mesa plans to incentivize run-down motels to rid the city of excessive drug use and prostitution, according to the OC Register. The city is offering the motels a chance to raise their property value by rezoning from commercial to residential. The type of residential business that will replace the motels is still unclear. This is the last step in trying to get rid of nuisance complaints. Previously, the city tried to fine the motels for each nuisance call and eventually limited visitor stays to 30 days. Poverty advocates who oppose the proposition feel it is unfair to the poor who use the motels as last resort housing, according to the OC Register. - BOBBIE URTEZ

The reports extend to a one-mile radius from CSUF and its sister campuses. The agreements are called Memorandums of Understanding (MOU). Administrative Capt. Scot Willey said that the MOUs are slated to be updated between University Police and the different city police departments like Anaheim, Fullerton and Irvine. Also known as the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, the Clery Report is an in-depth document that covers subjects such as campus security, sexual misconduct, alcohol, drugs,weapons, University Police prevention programs and how to report a crime. The prevention programs listed in the report are meant to give students the opportunity to make themselves aware of potential risks, what to do and ways to best avoid certain situations. Some of these programs include, “Sexual Assault Prevention,” “Personal Safety Awareness,” “Alcohol and Drug Abuse,” “Theft Prevention,” and “Rape Aggression Defense,” which

Event celebrates prehistortic science Cooper Center event features archaeology, paleontology demos JESSICA BUTALLA Daily Titan The John D. Cooper Archaeological and Paleontological Center, a partnership between Cal State Fullerton and Orange County Parks, will celebrate both National Fossil Day and International Archeology Day this Saturday with the “Prehistoric OC” event. “We have all kinds of activities and exhibits and different groups that talk about paleontology and archaeology,” said Jeannine Pederson, associate curator at the John D. Cooper Archaeological and Paleontological Center. “And then also all kinds of science and natural sciences and local plants and animals. So, it’s kind of like a celebration of local history and science.”

The Prehistoric OC festival will have many activities for all ages, according to the John D. Cooper Center website. Throughout the event, there will be lectures on archaeology, paleontology and geology. Additionally, there will be Native American Storytelling; volcanic, archeological, paleontological demonstrations and exhibits; educational crafts and hands-on activities at “Junior Scientist Camp,” The volcano demonstrations will be presented at a booth by Vali Memeti of the CSUF Department of Geological Sciences, Pederson said. Memeti studies volcanoes and volcanic eruptions all over the world, according to the CSUF database. She focuses her research on magma reservoirs, the processes that occur there and the different types of aftermath from the eruptions.

2014. Guest lecturers at the event will come from all over the county, from Cal State Fullerton’s neighboring Fullerton College to specialists that work at museums. The Cooper Center is a partnership between CSUF and OC Parks. “All the archeology and paleontological material belongs to the county of Orange, but they have contracted with Cal State Fullerton to manage it,” Pederson said. “So we are employed by Cal State Fullerton and then we work to manage a collection and then share it with the public.” This is an educational event not just for families, but also for individuals interested in archaeology, paleontology, history, culture and science. Prehistoric OC will be held at Ralph B. Clark Regional Park Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission and parking are free.

Scholar: Senior seeks future in law CONTINUED FROM

“She’s a really excellent student, but she’s also really naturally talented,” Fiber-Ostrow said. Aside from Moot Court, Butts is in the University Honors Program and the president of Pi Sigma Alpha. She is also an Alumni Association scholar, a Titan Parents Association scholar and a recipient of the inaugural Benson Emeriti award. Butts was involved in law since she was a child, which is part of the reason she wants to pursue a career in law. Her mother used to work as a paralegal in a small legal office. As a child, Butts spent her summers at work with her mother, which garnered her love of politics and law. “I remember being in fifth grade with my friend Max ... arguing over whether Kerry or Bush should be president,” Butts said. Butts went to Riverside Christian High School for three years, but transferred to Centennial High School her senior year after a man with a history of being accused of child molestation was appointed superintendent of Riverside Christian High School. “It was rough. I remember crying the first day RCHS had school because I was like, ‘I should be there,’” Butts said. Yet Butts soon fell in love with her new school because it gave her the opportunity to immerse herself in diversity and a “different perspective” on life, which ultimately makes someone a better person and lawyer, she said. “My clients wouldn’t just look like one particular person,” Butts said. “I think if you are able to expose yourself to other individuals and people from other religions and races, I think it’s beneficial to you.” After high school, Butts

Jamie Butts has loved politics and law since she was a child. She spent her childhood summers in a legal office where her mother worked. After graduating with degrees in women and gender studies and political science, Butts plans on taking a year off before applying for law school. She has her sights set on attending UCLA.

struggled with deciding what college to attend. Originally, she wanted to “go see the world,” but decided to stay in Southern California for financial and personal reasons. “My grandma had just passed away, so I really felt the need to be close to my parents, especially my mom during that time because that was her mom,” Butts said. Although Butts visited other colleges in the area, she ultimately decided on CSUF because it felt like home, she said. While Butts is unsure of what type of law she wants to go into, she said she wants to make a difference

as a lawyer. “I think that the law is extremely powerful and I think that ... if you learn more about it you can see the power of it,” Butts said. Butts saw this firsthand when she interned for Inland Empire Latino Lawyers Association, Inc., helping with familial legal issues such as couples filing for divorce papers or domestic abuse victims getting custody of their children. “That was really nice because I felt like I got to be their voice,” Butts said. “I felt very privileged in that sense to be able to do that.” Butts’ knack for community

service goes back to her childhood, when she would volunteer with her grandmother at Kaiser Permanente. However, after her grandmother passed away, she said, it was hard to go back. “I was really close to her; she was my second mom,” she said. This is Butts’ second year in Moot Court. Last year, her partner, Dakota Durrego-Mealey, and Butts placed third for brief writing at the National Moot Court Competition. Butts said they spent most of the semester compiling information and writing the 20page brief. Last year, it was Butts’ and

Durrego-Mealey’s first time competing in Moot Court. Durrego-Mealey said their personalities complemented each other and helped get them through the competition. “It was very nerve-wracking,” Durrego-Mealey said. “Jamie is very intelligent and book smart and she knows the nitty-gritty details of everything, and I speak very well and loud, kind of in-your-face and she’s a little more reserved, so we have that dynamic going on.” Despite how intense Moot Court is, Butts said she loves the program and the bonds she has created.

“You just get to really know everybody,” Butts said. “Everyone is crying over the same thing, everybody is stressed out over the same thing, and it just creates a nice bonded family.” This is Butts’ last year at CSUF and she plans on taking a year off before going to a law school. She said she is “excited for the future,” but will miss CSUF. “I love this place ... I feel very at home here,” Butts said. “As I got more involved, I just felt completely immersed in this campus. I don’t feel like I would have had the opportunities I’ve had here at other schools.”

Student finds peace in the wilderness Senior gains a lifetime memory by choosing nature over plaster LIZETH LUEVANO Daily Titan I saw a deer from afar. Slightly hidden by fog, the deer roamed alone, looked down at the grass, then to the right and finally up to me. It came closer and all I could do was stare back. I could feel its calmness and I hoped it felt mine. There was a second when I thought, ‘What would happen if it got too close to me? Would I be in danger?’ But that fear subsided with the realization that I was sharing a moment with nature and with that deer. A cold and gloomy Sunday seemed like the perfect morning to stay in bed, have a cup of coffee and read. As much as I wanted to stay cuddled up, I also wanted to go outside and embrace the fresh air that is often lacking. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found a trailhead opening nestled in a residential area by Mount Baldy. It sounded like a perfect place for an easy and serene walk on a chilly, early Sunday morning. The opening was in a culde-sac. My boyfriend and I were wary of signs that read, “No parking from dusk to dawn.” We got out of the car, headed to the start of the trail and talked about how incredible it is that the mountains and trails are these people’s backyards.

With a light rain drizzling over us, we walked, met a couple of mountain bikers and looked ahead to the vast mountains. We noticed the deer not too far ahead. It was quiet and there was nothing but expansive open land, us and the deer. I was excited because I had neither seen a deer nor been so close to one before. We stood there and stared at its movements for a while. We tried to get pictures and once I finally put the camera down, I realized how close it was to us. This moment was special because it was rare and I will remember it for a long time. If I had stayed under the warm covers on my bed, I would have missed this shared moment with that beautiful animal. We continued walking, sharing thoughts and stories. Once we got to a higher peak we saw the mountain bikers again and watched them as they quickly descended down the mountain. Besides the deer, it’s easy to say that there was nothing special to do or see on this hike, but that was not the case. The calm serenity of the morning made the hike worthwhile. To stare into the distance on mountains covered by fog, and to enjoy that with someone who appreciates simple moments as much as I do makes those moments in life special. Laying in bed with a hot cup of coffee still sounds like a great morning, but I have to admit that a nice walk in the rain bonding with my boyfriend is a much better way to live life.

Boats: Garden uniquely grows produce 1

“The fact that they pick it fresh and bring it to us and we’re giving it out either that day or the next day is great for us and our clients,” said Bryan Maxwell, who oversees the Heart of Downtown food bank. Heart of Downtown feeds between 40 and 80 families every other Sunday, Maxwell said. “It’s beautiful vegetables. They’re big, they’re lush, they taste good, so it’s a pretty exciting moment when you actually take the delivery of the harvest to the food bank,” Kelly said. “It’s pretty great.”

Biologist and Cal State Fullerton alumnus Jonathan Duffy Davis assisted St. Andrew’s in creating a farming plan for the garden. In helping the church decide what to plant in the garden, Davis made nutrient-rich foods a priority. “I don’t think there’s a calorie shortage, necessarily, in food in the United States. I think nutrients are often what is lacking, particularly at food banks,” Davis said. Eighty miles from Fullerton, Davis runs Tule Peak Farm in Aguanga, but still makes himself available to advise the Seeds of Hope team when it comes to farming. Maxwell said St. Andrew’s

gives food banks the opportunity to provide high-quality produce. “A lot of bakeries give out their day-old cakes and do-

sponsored a boat that they call “Pretty Lady,” which is now overrun with thyme and oregano. The church spends less money and conserves more

water maintaining a garden than it did maintaining its expansive front lawn, Lowerre said. But for the church, it’s more about serving the community than saving a dime. “When you’re able to help somebody out and see that something you’re doing is lifting them up and helping them on their way, there isn’t enough money in the world to pay for something like that,” Lowerre said. “When everything is fully growing … you just stand there and you’re like, ‘We did this.’ This is our labor of love coming to fruition and it’s such a feeling of accomplishment to be able to do that,” Lowerre said.

St. Andrew’s isn’t limiting the project to just the garden. In the future, Kelly said, they’d like to offer community cooking classes to teach how to use the produce and how to integrate fresh food with canned food. “We’d like to eventually have our entire campus so that everywhere you walk on campus, there’s food that’s growing,” Kelly said. Those interested in volunteering at the garden can help at St. Andrew’s on Saturday mornings between 8 to 10 a.m. There’s always someone leading the volunteers in the garden at that time and Kelly encourages CSUF students to participate.

OPINION Mother distorted breast pump incident

PAGE 6 OCTOBER 8, 2015 THURSDAY

Mariana Hannaman’s actions went against flight safety protocol DAISY CARLOS Daily Titan Yet another breastfeeding mother takes the stage to absurdly accuse a big-name company of discriminating and publicly humiliating her. Mariana Hannaman was recently traveling aboard an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Phoenix when she was “reprimanded” by a flight attendant for using the lavatory for an extended period of time. According to Hannaman, she had gone to the bathroom to pump milk for her child. After 10 minutes, a flight attendant came to the door. In an interview with Phoenix ABC affiliate KNXV, Hannaman said that she notified the attendant that she was pumping breast milk. After two minutes, the attendant returned, demanding that Hannaman leave the lavatory and stop pumping. Hannaman claimed she was left feeling “diminished” by the actions of the flight attendant. Had the flight attendant forced open the lavatory door, pulled her out and granted her absolutely no time to fix her clothing to walk back to her seat decently covered, then Hannaman would have more of a case. But that’s not what happened. At first glance, Hannaman

could be added to a long list of breastfeeding mothers who have been discriminated against or made to feel embarrassed for carrying out one of nature’s most natural actions: feeding their babies. Hannaman, however, is not one of them. During her interview with KNXV, Hannaman also admitted the flight attendant later told her she should have notified the crew of her intent to use the lavatory for an extended period of time. In a recent statement, American Airlines spokeswoman Leslie Scott said the airline “supports breastfeeding mothers” and they are allowed to “pump or breastfeed in both their seats or in the lavatory.” Scott also brought attention back to the real issue: the fact that a passenger was using the lavatory for an extended period of time, both without alerting the flight crew and inconveniencing other passengers aboard. According to Scott, the flight attendant had questioned Hannaman, not in an act of intolerance towards her, but as a safety protocol. “They’re there for safety and security,” Scott said in regards to flight attendant responsibilities. “That is their role on the aircraft.” As Hannaman recalled her lavatory exit, she claimed she opened the door with the breast pump still attached to her breasts. Rather than offering assistance, she said the flight attendant scolded her. Hannaman’s story comes across as a mother who took an isolated incident and spun

Mariana Hannaman feels that she was treated unfairly by a flight attendant for using a breast pump in the plane’s lavatory. After Hannaman was in the lavatory for 10 minutes, the flight attendant was simply following safety protocol by asking her to vacate.

it to gain fame and attention. The flight attendant’s comments and actions towards Hannaman come from a place of security. As Scott said in recent comments, it is the job of

the flight attendants to ensure the safety of their passengers. “We have instances often of people having some sort of emergency in the lavatory,” Scott said.

As a breastfeeding mother sharing a flight with other passengers, she should have notified the flight crew in order for them to properly accommodate her and the

other passengers. This case is less about gaining tolerance and acceptance for breastfeeding mothers and more about being a courteous traveler.

Prisoner release will save tax dollars Convicts arrested on drug charges get too harsh a scentence GABE ESPIRTU Daily Titan The U.S. Justice Department plans to release 6,000 inmates from the federal prison system in an attempt to “ease overcrowding” and to rectify the harsh penalties that were doled out to nonviolent drug dealers in the 1980s and 90s, according to the New York Times. It’s about time. “The release will be the largest discharge of inmates from federal prison in American history,” CNN reported. The war on drugs, as declared by President Richard Nixon in June of 1971, began an era of harsher sentencing for nonviolent drug offenders. Mandatory minimums were eventually installed and by 1986, the law came to include particularly harsh biases against people caught in possession of crack cocaine, a drug which Congress mistakenly thought was far more dangerous than the powder form, according to the New York Times

As a result, drug possession penalties for crack cocaine were scaled on a 1001 ratio. That is, one gram of crack cocaine became equivalent to 100 grams of powder cocaine when it came to sentencing, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. The amount of convicts in prisons shot up, and over three decades later, the price is still being paid today, not just by those caught, but by the taxpaying members of society. With the United States accommodating a quarter of the world’s prison population, according to the New York Times, the U.S. Census data and the Vera Institute have noted that cost associated with housing one inmate for a year can go up as high as $60,000, over three times as much as it would cost to educate an elementary school student for one year. It’s counterintuitive for our government to put such an emphasis on raising the standards of living in our society when they neglect to give focus to more important issues, such as education for the country’s youth. Instead, unnecessary resources are spent housing inmates who have been given

such impractically lengthy sentences over harmless drug convictions. As of 2013, 60 percent of fourth graders in the U.S. don’t possess the ability to read proficiently, according to StudentsFirst, a nonprofit organization. The New York Times states that prior to prisoners being released, the

judges examine many variables, including their behavior in prison, as well as whether they’re likely to act violently when released. While there will always be that fear that these prisoners could return to a life of crime, Deputy Attorney Sally Q. Yates believes that, “even with the Sentencing Commission’s reductions,

drug offenders will have served substantial prison sentences.” These are people who have lost years of their lives for crimes that don’t warrant these unfair sentences. America’s war on drugs has brought about irrationality within the nation and its leaders. The time these criminals have spent

in prison has brought reform in their lives; now a reform for the nation is long overdue. As Anthony Papa, former drug convict and current spokesman for the Drug Policy Alliance, has said, “The drug war has devastated families and communities, and it is time for the healing to begin.”

Titans looking to bounce back Women’s soccer is at home, eyeing to get its first Big West win RYAN PORTER Daily Titan Despite dropping its conference opener against Long Beach State, the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team could still salvage a good start in the Big West with some wins over UC Davis and the University of Hawaii this weekend. The Titans have seven games left, which offers plenty of opportunity to make a comeback. The Titans have two home games to get their momentum back when they host the Aggies and the Rainbow Wahine. Last year against the Aggies, Titans forward Rebecca Wilson netted a goal in the 86th minute at Titan Stadium to tie the game 1-1. That would serve as the final score, bringing the two sides to a stalemate. With a slow start to the Big West, the Titans are going to try to avoid conceding a loss to another quality opponent. Fullerton should look to its game against UC Davis, as it leads the all-time series against them 9-1-1, including a 4-0-0 record at home, according to Fullerton Athletics. CSUF is on a nine-game winning streak, dating back to 2014, when playing at Titan

The CSUF women’s soccer team won’t want to follow up its stellar regular season with two Big West Conference losses in a row. The Titans are going to have to refocus to get back into their winning form in their next two games.

Stadium. The Titans will look to capitalize on their home field advantage when they host the Aggies, who boast a record of 8-3-2. On the season, CSUF is netting 2.5 goals a game, higher than UCD’s 1.15 goals a game. In contrast, the Aggies’ defense may be the only factor working

against the Titans. Their 0.46 goals allowed per game could stagnate the Titans’ high powered offense. The Rainbow Wahine have yet to win a game on the road and have already given up 29 goals to opponents. Given their 1.17 goals per game, the Titans should be able to outscore Hawaii.

Last year against the Rainbow Wahine, Wilson struck again, guiding two shots to the back of the net. The Titans would come back from a 1-0 Hawaii deficit and defeat them 2-1 at the Waipi’o Peninsula Soccer Stadium. In their game against the 49ers last week, the Titans failed to score during

regulation and lost to an overtime golden goal in the 93rd minute. The loss shut down the Titans’ recent row of wins. They won their last two non-conference games, and prior to the loss at Washington State, they were undefeated. Regardless of the loss, CSUF leads the Big West in

goals (27) and assists (29). The Titans’ 2.5 goals per game is ranked 17th in the country, and their 2.64 assists rank seventh in the country. The Titans’ Big West Conference campaign will continue Friday against UC Davis, then Sunday when they host the University of Hawaii on Sunday at Titan Stadium.

CSUF heads north in search of its first win Titans volleyball needs a win to stay alive in Big West Conference AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team will travel north for its game against UC Davis this weekend in hopes of earning its first victory this season. Going in with an overall record of 0-15 and a Big West Conference record of 0-3, the Titans have struggled to put together a winning performance this season. The Titans’ first two conference games against UC Riverside and UC Irvine were close, but they ultimately fell short 3-2 on both occasions. Fullerton fared even worse in the match against the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine, losing 3-0 by an average of 11.6 points each set. The Titans have a lot of hope in players such as Kyra Hill and Mackenzie

Olsen, who could make a difference on the court. Hill leads the team with a total of 108 kills and an average of 2.3 kills per set while amassing .122 hitting percentage. Olsen, on the other hand, has been the orchestrator for the Titans’ offense since the season began. She’s accumulated a total of 424 assists with an average of 7.71 assists per set and has earned a respectable hitting percentage of .263. UC Davis has been struggling this season. They currently have an overall record of 7-11 and 2-2 in Big West Conference play. They started their Big West campaign with a straight set loss at Long Beach State and 3-1 loss to Cal State Northridge. They promptly bounced back with consecutive 3-1 victories over UC Riverside and UC Irvine. Leading the Aggies’ offense are senior Kaylin Squyres and Kendall Walbrecht, with 317 and 155 kills, respectively. As for their net protectors,

Walbrecht leads the team with 63 blocks, but is joined by four other teammates who have also recorded over 20 blocks this year. CSUF Head Coach Ashley Preston has yet to lead her team to a win, but her

squad shows glimmers of drive which, if refined and improved on, could produce a much more effective offense. The Titans will see if they can get their first win of the season Saturday against UC Davis at the Pavilion.

Heated games for Titan hockey CSUF needs to defend home ice to reignite their 2015 season ALAN BERNAL Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton ice hockey team will look to defend its home ice when it faces off against the Loyola Marymount Lions on Friday and against USC on Saturday. Fullerton had a shaky defensive performance against Arizona State, giving up 12 goals in its twogame series against the Red Devils.

interesting matchups that could serve them well in turning their season around. Vs. LMU The Lions, who match CSUF’s record of 1-3-0, will visit the Titans hoping for a victory over CSUF. Loyola Marymount has been struggling to tally wins, but its offense hasn’t been the reason for its recent problems, despite the team having lost its last two games by one goal. Lions center Trevor Tracy has put on respectable performances, scoring four goals and four assists in all games. Tracy is backed up by Lions leading goal scorer Kyle Martins, who has

recorded five goals in all competitions. The Lions’ offense has been on a tear, scoring 14 goals in the team’s last three games. As impressive as that seems, LMU has also struggled defensively, having given up 15 goals in the same span. Vs. USC LMU is heading to the Titans’ home rink looking to end its recent spell of bad luck. USC, on the other hand, will come looking for redemption. In the Titans’ season opener against the Trojans, a total of eight goals were scored between the two teams, with Fullerton coming out on top, 6-2.

CSUF will have its hands full Saturday night with Trojan forward Cory Newman, who has recorded five goals and 10 assists in USC’s first five games. That pales in comparison to USC’s leading goal scorer David Begert, who has tallied 11 goals and seven assists this season. USC has recovered well since its dismantling at the hands of CSUF, picking up its record to 4-30. With the Titans’ recent string of losses weighing them down, the Trojans will see if they can snatch a win while the Titans are down. The Titan ice hockey team will host both their opponents at East West Ice Palace.
