Students protest parking policy

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

Prompted by safety concerns and the cost of parking passes, Cal State Fullerton senior Xiomara Solis has started a petition asking CSUF Parking and Transportation Services to provide safer parking areas for students who live on campus.

Resident students concerned about safety and cost WOARIA RASHID DANIELLE ORTENZIO Daily Titan

After having had enough with what they say are hazardous parking conditions at night, a group of resident students has banded together and started a petition slated to go to Parking and Transportation Services to redress its policies.

Parking and Transportation implemented a change

in resident parking guidelines this semester that has left some students living in campus housing feeling unsafe.

The new guidelines specifically limit the parking lots in which resident students can park, despite being allowed to park their vehicles in any lot in prior years.

Xiomara Solis, senior

and third year housing resident, started a petition to “go back to last semester’s parking arrangements, or to at least allow students to park in the brightly lit Eastside structure, and to provide adequate lighting in the first floor of the residential parking structure,” she said.

With 95 signatures as of

Monday night, Solis hopes to gain 300 to 500 signatures to bring attention to the safety concerns of not only herself but also her fellow resident housing students.

Resident students are currently allowed to park in the two lots adjacent to housing, the housing parking structure and Lots A and

G, said Kristen Jasko, interim director of Parking and Transportation.

After 6 p.m., resident housing students are allowed to park in any lot, but must move their vehicles before 7 a.m. the following morning.

First-time visitors to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum are taken in by the luxurious sounds of the outdoor fountain, the procession of orange trees and the white-pillared entrance. What they don’t see is the myriad research opportunities available in the building.

Opened in 1990, the library is a researcher’s mecca, located 4 miles from Cal State Fullerton. It contains millions of original documents, recordings and videos and is one of 13 presidential libraries overseen by the National Archives.

“This is kind of a hidden jewel in Orange County and what we’re all about here is to try to bring this thing out, let this thing blossom. And one of the ways to do it is to connect with Fullerton and with Chapman,” said Michael Ellzey, director of the library.

“For some reason, people don’t know it’s here.”

Nixon’s infamous resignation from the White House and the library’s ongoing release of White House tape recordings add to its allure.

“The library offers unparalleled historical research opportunities,” said Scott Spitzer, Ph.D., associate professor of political science at CSUF. “I encourage people to definitely take a look at women’s issues, the environment, civil rights, space programs, international affairs and federal crime laws.”

Restaurant owner speaks on success Wahoo’s Fish Taco founder talks about overcoming hardship DARLENE CASAS Daily Titan Ed Lee talked about his journey in his taco business alongside associate professor of management David Obstfeld in a small gathering hosted by Mihaylo College of Business and Economics’ Center for Entrepreneurship on Monday.

Lee, founder of Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, spoke to students evening about his success and hardships of becoming an entrepreneur.

His clothing company failed, Corona shot down his idea for selling Corona beer shorts and Montana was too cold to sell Bison meat. It was his last try.

Lee’s final option was to start a restaurant, but if it failed, he would have to go to law school to pay back his parents.

Flustered, he decided to go to Mexico to evaluate his life and future. On a dock full of Southern Californian surfers while eating a 25-cent taco, Lee found his answer.

“Oh my God this could be my future,” said Lee, co-founder of Wahoo’s Fish Taco restaurant. He and his brothers run the business that now has 65 stores and more than 700 employees since it opened in 1988.

Lee’s bond with his brothers and their love for surfing helped steer their business to where it is today, he said.

As the surf culture grew, so did their business, now decorated with sponsored brands such as O’Neill and Billabong.

Lee said his father was the true entrepreneur in his family, and always told him and his siblings about how “failing is part of your learning curve.”

Lee, who is of Chinese descent, grew up in Brazil before he moved to the United States to live with his father in Costa Mesa. It was there where he began catching waves with friends who would later become

professional surfers.

Lee and his brothers worked in their parents’ restaurant growing up, and if they did something wrong, their parents would make them work more. Lee said he cooks and prepares food better than his brothers because he got in trouble the most.

Lee and his brother, Wing, originally opened the first restaurant but their younger brother Mingo, who is now the CEO of Wahoo’s, joined them before they opened

Following long-term criticism over captive animal treatment, SeaWorld announced plans Monday to phase out the San Diego “Shamu” killer whale show next year, according to Reuters.

The planned cessation of the show follows the California Coastal Commission’s vote to ban the breeding of killer whales in captivity.

SeaWorld Chief Executive Officer Joel Manby said that the centerpiece orca performances will be replaced by a new exhibition in 2017 to promote a more conservation-oriented theme in a “more natural setting.”

The expansion plan has still drawn opposition from animal rights activists demanding the organization to release all its whales back into the wild.

DAVID OBSTFELD Management professor, CSUF their third location to help structure their business.

The three brothers faced a many rough tides before their business progressed.

When they opened their third store, they realized they had no customers because they didn’t have an “Open” sign. Billabong and other popular surf-style stores reached out to the Lees to promote their brands in the restaurants.

Lee said working in the kitchen is his favorite part of the business, alongside the ability to surf with his brothers.

“When we have a board meeting, we are actually on our (surf)boards,” Lee said.

Lee said rent in California has skyrocketed from when he and his brother opened up their restaurant in the ‘80s, so they are strategic on where they expand.

“We are very cautious and that is why we don’t expand that quickly, Lee said. “We aren’t jumping up and down to open restaurants like we were back in the day.”

Companies such as Billabong and Quiksilver give Wahoo’s branded decor for their restaurants.

Obstfeld teaches entrepreneurial courses and said he has known Lee for nearly

four months because their children go to the same high school.

The challenges entrepreneurs face are believing in themselves, developing ideas, knowing how to shape those ideas and then learning how to deal with practical things, Obstfeld said.

For instance, during the HIV epidemic in the 1980s, Lee tried to import $50,000 worth of rubber gloves from Hong Kong to the United States, but his plans were struck down because he was unaware of the FDA regulations preventing him from bringing the gloves back home.

Obstfeld said if Lee would have been a student at CSUF, the Center for Entrepreneurship director John Bradley Jackson could have helped him facilitate his business plans.

“In some ways Ed grabbed onto one of the most powerful and still vibrant commercially viable cultures epically,” Obstfeld said. He added how Lee was influential in the founding of a major industry: surfing.

Obstfeld mentioned how Europeans are often awestruck when they meet someone from Orange County.

“One of the good things about being in Orange County is it’s such a crossroads for new ideas,” Obstfeld said.

First year Master of Business Administration student Ali Nezami said he attended the event to learn about success stories from entrepreneurs.

“These kinds of events give me more knowledge about how business works here, especially when they start to talk about their personal life and their own journey in an informal way,” said Nezami, who recently moved to the United States.

Nezami, who owned a business in his home country, mentioned how reading success stories is not the same as seeing the emotion in a person’s face when he is telling his own story.

“Meeting them in person helps you grasp more than just reading the story,” Nezami said.

Catalonia votes for secession The Catalan Parliament passed a vote, 72-63, to begin the process of formally separating from the central government of Spain, according to the Guardian.

Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy and his government are already working to appeal this vote in the constitutional court.

Pere Aragonès, a politician who supports the secession vote, said that the resolution will continue no matter what Spain’s court says, stating Catalonia has legitimacy even if Spain resists.

Two-term Catalan President Artur Mas hopes to continue leading the new government, but other pro-independence coalitions do not support him due to a string of corruption scandals in his political party.

Carbon dioxide at record high The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released a bulletin Monday stating that 2014 was a new record high for greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

According to the bulletin, there was a 36 percent increase in radiative forcing between 1990 and 2014. This radiative forcing is the warming of the Earth’s climate due to the concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. “(Carbon dioxide) is an invisible threat, but a very real one,” WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said. “It means hotter global temperatures, more extreme weather events ... and increased acidity of the oceans.”

Parking: Fees increase to next semester 1

Jasko said that she did not recall hearing any specific complaints about the resident students’ parking situation.

However, Solis said that the lots that housing students are permitted to park in fill up quickly, leaving them to park in Lots A and G. These new parking restrictions are preventing resident housing students from running errands close to nighttime, Solis said, due to inadequate lighting. Parking in a lot furthest from the housing units is also inconvenient. Solis said walking home alone at night makes her a direct target for sexual assault.

“Walking back at night is creepy,” Solis said. “It’s disappointing to think parking is just waiting for something really bad to happen to make a change.”

“If you’re walking along the Arboretum or, say, you’re walking from Lot G, which is one of the only other places on campus I’m allowed to park with my housing permit, the (emergency blue phone) poles are way more spaced,” junior Jillian Laird said. “So you’ll see one maybe every 100 yards, as opposed to them being one every 5 feet.”

While Solis acknowledges the presence of the blue emergency police poles, she said it is inconvenient to have to call a police escort every time she wants to go home.

There have been 55 calls made for University Police Escorts over the past two weeks in the area, police logs show. There have also been 17 calls about suspicious people in the area during the same timeframe.

“I understand there is a parking struggle for everyone, but I live here and the

minimum you are paying to live on campus is $10,000 for nine months,” Solis said. “We might as well get the same benefits as the other commuter students.”

“I feel it is completely ridiculous that we pay so much for a parking pass that most of the time we can’t find a spot for.

It is unreasonable to ask us to park all the way on the other side of campus and walk back to the places we live,” third year housing resident Ryan Hodgson said via email.

Hodgson said he and his

It’s disappointing to think parking is just waiting for something really bad to happen to make a change.

XIOMARA SOLIS Cal State Fullerton student resident friends rarely leave the campus throughout the week because they don’t want to battle other people for parking spaces near student housing.

“Through the day, we must compete with all of the commuters, and by night all of the close spots are already taken, making it impossible to find close parking,” Hodgson wrote.

Jasko said these new parking guidelines have maximized the use of parking spaces. If housing students use Lot E, for example, the first few rows would be occupied for the entire day. The restriction makes sure that more students can use the spot throughout the day, Jasko said.

Solis said the Eastside structure is a more convenient place for resident students to park their vehicles.

“They have cameras, better lighting, it’s a more direct route,” Solis said.

Jasko said Parking and Transportation Services have

mented, they wouldn’t directly affect Solis because she is graduating.

“The changes wouldn’t even affect me anymore, but I feel so strongly about this, I really fear for other women, and men too, because you can also be assaulted if you are a guy,” Solis said.

CHANGES IN PARKING AND OTHER FEES Student parking permit rates have gradually increased over the years. The permit cost will increase to $236 from $239, reflecting the cost of maintaining the parking structures at Cal State Fullerton.

The Parking and Transportation Services is a Category V fee: fees paid to self-supporting agencies of the university, including programs such as Extended Education.

“We receive absolutely no state funding,” Jasko said.

Since 2003, three parking

Some students who live on campus and park at Lots A and G have to take this path, which lies between the Arboretum and the baseball field, to get to student housing.

structures were built: Nutwood, State College and Eastside parking structures. The most recently built Eastside Parking Structure provides 1,500 spaces. Initially, it was planned to be a 3,000 space structure, but there were budget concerns, Jasko said.

“The cost for that was too significant, so when we discussed it with the student board, it just wasn’t supported at that time,” said Jasko.

There are two types of funds that Parking and Transportation receives: a parking fund and a fines and forfeitures fund.

The parking fund, drawn from parking permits and daily permits revenue, provides funding for all departmental operations, such as structure maintenance and staff salaries.

“We actually pay the University Police Department a significant portion,”

Jasko said. “16 cents of every dollar we bring in, we return back to the university, to the University Police Department.”

Since a significant portion of incidents occur in the lots or structures, Parking and Transportation pays for patrolling services to assist, manage and monitor the lots, Jasko said. It also manages its own parking enforcement officers for incidents related to monitoring or patrolling general activity, but the police department issues parking tickets.

The fines and forfeitures account funds programs for alternative transportation options, such as the U-Pass Program with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), bike shares or bike racks.

Implemented in 2003 as a way to get students to become familiar with public

transportation, the U-Pass Program has been an option for students to get around Orange County for free.

However, students will need to pay a $92 fee per semester for the U-Pass starting spring 2016. A regular OCTA bus pass costs $69 per month, a total of $276 for the four-month duration of a semester.

Parking and Transportation also manages campus bicycle racks. A collaboration between the University Bicycle Committee, parking advisory committee and faculty members help to decide how many bike racks are needed and where to place them.

“Parking and Transportation Services fund the bicycle racks on campus and continually look at expanding where additional bike racks are needed,” Jasko said.

Due to his performance in the State Business Leadership Conference, Olivares qualified to represent California at the National Leadership Conference in Chicago, where he placed first in the marketing concepts competition.

“I went there to win first place. I told myself I wasn’t going to accept anything less than first and I started studying all my books,” Olivares said.

Olivares is also one of the founders and the first president of Sigma Upsilon Mu, a coed entrepreneurship fraternity that he founded last year.

Olivares enrolled in speech classes, joined the speech and debate team and took a sales job to gain experience.

Olivares’ endeavors range from starting a radio station, creating a mixed martial arts clothing line and participating in competitive gaming.

In 2006, he founded the website AddiktiveRadio, an online radio station that primarily played hiphop and club music. It started as a small project between friends, but eventually gained support from people in the music industry, including Mixmaster Tony G, who Olivares said is one of

Originally from El Monte, Olivares’ father became handicapped when Olivares was a child. In order to get by, Olivares’ mother learned English, got her GED and became an assistant nurse.

Every weekend, Olivares and his family would go to swap meets and sell sombreros to make ends meet.

“I think that brought a lot of my entrepreneurship aspects,” Olivares said.

Growing up, Olivares was a shy kid. Because he liked working with computers, Olivares initially wanted to become an engineer. However, after starting his business, he discovered he wanted to go into entrepreneurship.

“I realized that if I wanted to really be good at it I

Olivares also won several professional video game tournaments. He particularly enjoys the competition aspect of it.

“If I get into something, I’ll start doing it until I’m the best,” Olivares said.

In 2010, Olivares partnered with his brother-inlaw for a year to create Sacred Savage Fighting Gear, an MMA fighting gear clothing line. They sold the gear at events and sponsored fighters who wore their line. Olivares handled the website, e-commerce, shipping and holdings.

Miguel Olivares, a marketing and information systems major, serves hot dogs at Cal State Fullerton’s quad Oct. 29. He was there to raise money for March of Dimes, an organization that works to improve the health of mothers and babies.

In doing so, he realized how much he loved being an entrepreneur.

“I love just going out there and starting a business and seeing what happens, not knowing what’s going to happen,” Olivares said.

In 2013, Olivares transferred from Mt. San Antonio College to CSUF. He chose CSUF because of its business programs and entrepreneurship community.

“What’s more important is the connections and how I use the place I go to,” Olivares said. “When I came

here, that was my goal, being able to maximize, join as many clubs, connect with as many people, start some businesses.”

Phillipe Rodriguez, president of Sigma Upsilon Mu, sees no limit on what Olivares is capable of accomplishing.

“He’s more than capable of doing anything he sets his mind to,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said that Olivares wants to attend Stanford after graduation and that he pushed Rodriguez to apply there as well.

“He said, ‘Hey I think you should apply and I think you’d be a good fit,’ and now I have an interview for Stanford for the MBA program,” Rodriguez said. “I’m really thankful for Miguel. He sees that potential in people and he’ll work to make it happen.

Without his support, I don’t think I would’ve applied and now amazing things are happening.”

Daniel Nannery, Sigma Upsilon Mu’s director of events, said the same thing about Olivares’ personality.

“Miguel had a unique

ability to talk to somebody, ask them questions, see their mannerisms and understand who that person was under the surface,” Nannery said.

Nannery has dyslexia and when he faces challenges, Olivares helps to motivate him to keep going.

“I would not be in school right now. I would not have done any of the things that I did if it wasn’t for his way of motivating me,” Nannery said. “His way of motivating you is just by being himself, just by making you feel like he’s got your back.”

Spitzer received the first researcher’s card at the library and offers advice to new researchers.

“You’ve got to know what you’re doing before you get there,” Spitzer said.

Gregory Cumming, Ph.D., media and public affairs liaison for the library, said that the library provides resources for even novice researchers, especially students.

“We will help anybody from the greenest of the green to the most experienced researcher,” Cumming said. “In fact, I would say that if you ask the archivists, they will prefer those first-time researchers coming in because they will listen and they can tell them the process that you need to go through and they will be able to train them.”

The library’s permanent galleries are closed for the first time in 25 years to undergo a yearlong renovation, which began last Monday.

The rest of the campus, research room and archives will remain open to the public, as well as a temporary special exhibit entitled “Discovery and Recovery: Preserving Iraqi Jewish Heritage” that ends Nov. 15.

“Something’s going to be there for everybody. We’re not proselytising anybody into a political belief. We’re trying to provoke thought amongst the people that come through,” Cumming said.

“And you’ll be able to do that in this new exhibit. We’re not telling you how to think, we’re telling you to think.”

Located on a historic property in Yorba Linda, the library also houses an

exact replica of the White House’s East Room, replete with three sparkling crystal chandeliers. The property also has the largest rose garden in Orange County, the storied military helicopter Nixon boarded on the White House lawn the day he resigned the presidency in 1974 and his childhood home.

“For me, there was a lot to learn and a lot to be impressed over,” Ellzey said.

These attributes only add to the research opportunities available at the library.

“The opportunity to access the presidential records of a president who actually was quite accomplished in a variety of different domestic areas and international areas that are affecting our world today, is really pretty cool,” Ellzey said. “The fact that it’s right around the corner from Fullerton and that we have several people on our staff who studied at Fullerton is just a tremendous resource.”

Christmas does not come on a coffee cup Evangelicals have no grounds to play victim in “war on Christmas” ZACK JOHNSTON Daily Titan If the spirit of generosity and togetherness needs to come from a coffee cup, then Christmas is in more trouble than people like former Arizona pastor Joshua Feuerstein would have others believe.

Ironically, the trouble isn’t coming from companies waging a so-called “war on Christmas,” but from people like Feuerstein who find it acceptable to play victim while sitting in their privileged place in American society.

Feuerstein and evangelicals have taken offense to Starbucks’ new red minimalist holiday cup design, criticizing the coffee company for omitting traditional holiday symbols like the snowflakes and Christmas trees that have adorned holiday cups in years past.

Using his large social media presence, Feuerstein has sought to start a movement to challenge Starbucks, calling upon all Christians to go there and order a drink under the name “Merry Christmas,” so as to force employees to write thr phrase on the cup and call it out when the drink is ready.

“In the age of political correctness I think we’ve become so open minded, our brains have literally fallen out of our head. Do you realize that Starbucks wanted to take Christ and Christmas off of their brand new cups?

That’s why they’re just plain red,” Feuerstein said in a video posted to his Facebook page.

This is yet another example of Christian fundamentalists wrongly convinced that their faith is somehow undermined when private businesses decide to be inclusive and not just cater to one religious group during the holiday season.

“The cup is symbolic of a larger war against Christianity in this country. The policemen of political correctness have demanded that the silent majority bend its knee to a vocal minority,” Feuerstein wrote in an email to the Washington Post. “Starbucks and others know that Americans are drawing a line in the sand and refusing to remain silent any longer.”

It seems far-fetched to refer to a group that encompasses most Americans as a “silent” majority. In 2014, nearly three quarters of adults in the United States believed that the virgin birth of Christ was a historical event, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

In a culture that so heavily

After the backlash over Starbucks’ new minimalist holiday cups, former pastor Joshua Feuerstein has waged a counterattack against the alleged “war on Christmas,” but it is Feurestein’s effort that is actually problematic to Christmas’ ideals.

pushes the Christmas season and practically sets aside an entire month to the Christian holiday, evangelicals have no grounds to complain about a lack of Christmas scenery.

Believers like Feuerstein make Christians out to be a group that is completely blind to the social privilege that they hold, a privilege not granted to people who do not

celebrate Christmas and most likely feel a sense of dysphoria when their own holiday or faith is not represented.

Starbucks came out with a press release Sunday which showed that the company knows this issue is more important than what its cups looks like.

“Creating a culture of belonging, inclusion and

diversity is one of the core values of Starbucks, and each year during the holidays the company aims to bring customers an experience that inspires the spirit of the season.

Starbucks will continue to embrace and welcome customers from all backgrounds and religions in our stores around the world,” said the press release.

If the spirit of the holiday season has been reduced to snowflakes and ornaments on coffee cups, then American culture has a much bigger issue on its hands. Perhaps believers in Christ should be more worried about spreading ideals of kindnesses and giving, and less about what their coffee cup looks like.

Wolfe’s resignation a step in the right direction Students pressure hypocritical university president to resign MAHDEE GILL Daily Titan The resignation of University of Missouri president Tim Wolfe is a testament of the results that can be obtained when students band together in the fight for social equality.

Wolfe’s refusal to acknowledge complaints of racial abuse by students and his declaration that “there would be change, but not in the president’s office” only gives credence to the apathetic beliefs of those responsible for the perpetuation of racial tension at the school.

Continuous failure to acknowledge racial hostilities in this country can only make situations worse. In order for there to be healing, there must be a sincere and honest dialogue about the painful words and deeds that continue to deepen the wedge of indifference and bias that keeps this country divided.

It seems that the only way to get the university’s attention is when there are millions of dollars in jeopardy. The university football team’s refusal to play in this Saturday’s game against Brigham Young University would have cost the team a $1 million cancellation fee, according to a copy of a contract published in the Kansas City Star earlier this year. This may have been the power play that caused Wolfe to turn tail and run.

To deny the issues is to make them worse. The football team realized the power that it held as it rallied behind its fellow students and used its leverage against a man who thought he could ignore the constant complaints being reported. It was a long overdue collaboration between students, faculty and staff in order to have this man removed.

Recent reports of an excrement-smeared swastika found on student Jonathan Butler’s dorm wall and of black students being called the N-word while rehearsing for a play were clearly not enough to get the attention of the administration, Missouri Students

Association president Payton Head said to the Washington Post.

It is a shame that when Wolfe was asked to define systematic oppression in a meeting with Concerned Citizens 1950, a student group from the University of Kansas-Missouri, on Saturday night, he answered, “systematic oppression is because you don’t believe that you have the equal opportunity for success,” according to the Maneater, University of Missouri’s student newspaper.

How in denial can this man be? To ignore the societal limits that many African-Americans and other minorities face in this country is nothing more than narcissism and disdain. He sounds pathetic and hypocritical in his declaration that, “change comes from listening, learning, caring and conversation.”

Had he taken his own advice and did something about the university’s issues, perhaps he would still have a job. Maybe if he would have stood for the right thing instead of turning his back, literally and figuratively, he would still

Amidst racial tension and pressures from the student body, University of Missouri’s president Tim Wolfe resigned. This is hopefully the first step to fixing the school’s racially insensitive climate.

have a position today.

To add to the hypocrisy, he mentioned that, “this is not the way change should come about,” yet on the

contrary, this is exactly how revolutions are created.

The lesson learned here is that when different ethnicities, genders, levels of

administration and scholars are united by the threat of monetary loss, the results sought for can materialize relatively quickly.

Titans set for the Big West Tourney

Men’s soccer will host the Cal Poly Mustangs in semis AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team will kick off the Big West Conference Tournament on Wednesday as it hosts the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Mustangs.

With the Titans taking the South Division on the back of a 6-3-1record , and UC Santa Barbara taking the North Division with a record of 7-2-1, each team was granted a bye week into the tournament semifinals.

Fullerton would await the first round matchup winner between Cal Poly SLO and UC Irvine, whereas UCSB would play the winner between UC Davis and Cal State Northridge.

The Mustangs emerged victorious from their matchup against the Anteaters this past Saturday, escaping by a score of 1-0.

This win punched their ticket for a spot in the semifinals against the Titans.

The Titans and the Mustangs already met once this season in October. Fullerton held the slight advantage in shots, recording a total of nine compared to Cal Poly’s eight, but the game concluded in 0-0 draw.

Across the overall season stat sheet, the Titans and Mustangs are nearly even.

Fullerton has netted a total of 27 goals off 23 assists while Cal Poly SLO earned a total of 28 goals off 28 assists.

In this upcoming game, the Titans need to be wary

After coming off two shutout wins, the TItans are on course for the Big West Conference Tournament semifinals against the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Mustangs. In their last matchup, the teams played a full 110 minutes that ended in a draw.

of Mustang forward Chase Minter, who leads his team in scoring and assists with seven and six, respectively. His fellow Mustang forward Matt Lagrassa has also proved to be quite a threat, tallying a total of five goals and three assists on the season.

Although both sides are talented offensively, each

team’s true strength lies in defense, as the Titans only allowed an average of .83 goals per game, while the Mustangs allowed an average of .94.

Despite winning their last two matches, the Titans haven’t seen the pitch in over a week, which may cause some rust on Fullerton’s game. However, this

long break might have also given the Titans time for some much-needed rest.

Titans sophomore midfielder Diego Sanchez leads the team in goals with six to go along with three assists.

Fullerton goalkeeper David Elias has been a huge factor in his team’s defensive efforts as he’s logged

in a total of 11 shutouts in the year, which tops the alltime record for most clean sheets by two games.

Seven Titans received All-Conference honors at the end of the regular season. Defender Ricardo Covarrubias earned a spot on the All-Big West second team, followed by Elias, Nicolo D’Amato, Robert

Coronado, Brandon West, Carlos Troncoso and Ronaldo Pineda who all received honorable mentions.

With a chance to repeat as Big West Conference Tournament champions, the Titans will look to begin another postseason run Wednesday at 7 p.m when they face Cal Poly SLO at Titan Stadium.

RENZY REYES / DAILY TITAN

The women’s volleyball team will try to avoid extending its losing habits and break its 23-game losing skid. The Titans have five games left to salvage at least one win.

Women’s volleyball heads to Northridge

Titans go head-tohead against the struggling Matadors ALAN BERNAL Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball team will travel to Cal State Northridge on Tuesday for its first of two meetings against the Matadors this season.

The Titans have struggled all season without a win, formulating an overall record of 0-23 and 0-11 in conference., but will look to receive some remedy when they travel to the Matadome.

CSUF has been swept three sets to none in each of its last four games as it has not won a single set since its match against UC Irvine on Oct. 23.

However, the Matadors’ 2015 season has been slightly better than the Titans’, as they own an overall record of 5-19 while being 4-8 in conference.

History won’t be on the Titans’ side in their upcoming match, however. Fullerton did not fare well against Northridge in the 2014 season, giving up two straight set losses to the Matadors both at home and away.

Fullerton has not had much to look forward to this campaign, with the team posting low offensive numbers all season. As a team, the Titans have recorded a disappointing .146 attack percentage, compared to their opponent’s .282 this season. Further, CSUF has only managed to obtain 9.99 kills per set, as opposed to its opponent’s average of 14.52.

However, Tuesday’s match could be a good chance for the Titans to steal their first win.

Northridge has been on a slide as of late, losing its last four games, two of which were shutout defeats that saw the Matador side derailed by UC Irvine and the University of Hawaii.

This could be the Titans chance to pick themselves up

from what has been a lackluster 2015 campaign.

Sophomore outside hitter Kyra Hill has been the Titans’ main provider of offensive support. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley transfer tops the Titans’ scoresheet in kills with 188 and 2.58 kills per set, while being Fullerton’s point leader with 204.5 in 22 games.

Hill’s attacking prowess, coupled with setter Mackenzie Olsen’s ability to dish out passes and set up teammates, can make for an interesting tandem that could catch the Matadors out of position. Olsen has been the backbone of the Titans’ attack. Her 627 assists and 7.74 assists per set outnumber Matadors setter Maddle Leiphardt’s 403 assists with 6.72 assists per set.

Despite the fact that the match will feature two teams at the bottom of the table, the Titans will have to muster all of their talents to push the Matadors to a fifth straight loss. CSUF will visit the Matadors on Tuesday for its 24th match on the season at the Matadome.
