Coming off a close game against the University of the Pacific, the Titans found their offensive rhythm by defeating their last three opponents by nine points or more.

Fullerton got a lot of help from redshirted upperclassmen Tre’ Coggins and Lanerryl Johnson as they combined for 43 points in their win over the University of Nevada.

improving its overall season record to 5-1.

The Titans outlasted their last three opponents coming into Saturday’s game, defeating the University of San Diego Toreros and the Southern Utah University Thunderbirds by double-digit margins.

Against the Toreros, the Titans cruised to a 67-55 victory against the winless San Diego team. Fullerton dismantled the opposing

from 3-point territory.

Redshirt junior guard Tre’ Coggins and freshman Khalil Ahmad both tallied a career-high 20 plus points while senior Kennedy Esume had his way in the paint with eight rebounds.

The game against the University of Nevada promised to be quite a challenge, as the Wolf Pack was also going in with a 4-1 record.

The game began with Fullerton bursting out of the

gate with a 7-0 lead. After that point however, the Titans hit a major dry spell, allowing the Wolf Pack to take control of the tempo and jump to 21-12 lead.

Despite facing a 9-point deficit with seven minutes left in the first half, the Titans managed to overcome their shooting woes and cut Nevada’s lead down to only one point come halftime.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

A holiday classic comes to life in the Young Theatre VIVIAN CHOW Daily Titan On a chilly Christmas Eve in London, the entire town is cloaked in dreary weather.

The dark, nebulous air is suddenly pierced by the glow of an ominous figure.

The looming silhouette stands still, accompanied only by a somber carol.

Ebenezer Scrooge, the bitter, selfish misanthrope at the heart of “A Christmas Carol,” has made his first appearance.

Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale is given a proper homage at Cal State Fullerton’s Young Theatre

Adapted by Bruce Goodrich and directed by Jeremy Lewis, this adaptation was inspired by the 1951 classic film to serve the stage, and the play does not disappoint.

The stage is constructed beautifully and makes clever use of the small space afforded to the cast and crew.

A bi-level centerpiece in a Victorian-style wrought iron frame is absolutely striking.

Behind the impressive structure, the backlit cityscape wall provides an immense dynamism.

Although underutilized, the two-level construction provides interesting visuals whenever it is filled.

Giving Scrooge the proper dose of biting hostility, Miguel Mariana does the character tremendous justice, carrying himself with great poise and aplomb.

defense, shooting 46 percent from the floor and 50 percent from beyond the arc.

Redshirt senior Malcolm Brooks led the Titans in scoring and matched his career-high of 16 points against the Toreros.

The Titans improved to 3-1 on the road against Southern Utah last Tuesday as they took the game 80-66. Fullerton shot well in that game, shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 45.5 percent

The Fullerton City Council’s Nov. 17 unanimous denial of an appeal to halt development in West Coyote Hills has drawn the ire of a local conservation group, which claims that the city’s decision is violating voters’ rights.

The decision goes against a referendum that the residents of Fullerton voted for in 2012, said Angela Lindstrom, president of conservation group Friends of Coyote Hills. Measure W was put on the ballot that year to entirely reject the development proposal between the city and Pacific Coast Homes, which is owned by oil company Chevron, to build 760 homes on the 510-acre site.

Friends of Coyote Hills wants a fair shot at buying up the land at the West Coyote Hills site, Lindstrom said.

The current agreement delays home development at the site for one year, a timeframe Lindstrom said is not long enough for the group to raise funds to buy up the site.

The current agreement allows for just over 300 acres of open-use public space.

Friends of Coyote Hills wants to buy all the land at the site.

Desolation oozes from every fiber of Mariana, the most arresting moments occurring whenever he is alone.

The entire cast absolutely dazzled in this production. It should be noted that the English accents were pulled off flawlessly.

It was impressive to watch an entire ensemble pull it off.

Eric Steven Flores carried the story of Christmas past splendidly in his role as young Ebenezer.

His role chronicles Scrooge’s rise to becoming a ruthless businessman, at the heartbreaking cost of losing his one true love, Belle, played by Alli Schynert.

Mariana’s chemistry with The Ghost of Christmas Past, played by Paige Sherman, was touching.

City officials said that the group could have been fundraising since negotiations began in 2013 and that Chevron was a willing seller.

However, Lindstrom contends that Chevron wasn’t a willing seller until it had the land reappraised for a higher value and that Chevron’s development agreement was given a green light by the Planning Commission.

San Francisco-based attorney Catherine Engberg of Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger LLP, who represents the Friends of Coyote Hills, contends that the referendum not only terminated the development agreement, but contained “poison pill” language that terminated all prior approvals between the developer and the city.

Approvals such as the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or the Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) — a map that plots where houses, roads and trails will be built — would have to go back through legislative consideration in order to meet California referendum law, Engberg said. However, by keeping the original EIR and VTTM, Fullerton has created a new issue regarding voters’ rights.

“What the city and Chevron did was try to make this new project referendum-proof, because voters can only referend legislative approvals,” Engberg said. “The problem is that Measure W’s poison pill wiped out all those approvals. What they should have done was to seek out new approvals.”

“They have to go back and reapply for those other approvals. They don’t want to do that because those approvals

Members of local nonprofit Friends of Coyote Hills voiced their opinion at the Nov. 17 Fullerton City Council meeting.

are referendable,” Lindstrom said.

The city attorney’s office had not responded for comment as of the time of this writing.

At the council meeting, city officials said that they were within their legal right to move forward with the development and that Chevron did not have to seek out new approvals. Officials also said that Friends of Coyote Hills was onboard with the negotiations the whole time.

“That’s not true,” Lindstrom said. “We had two weeks to look at thousands of pages of documents before the Planning Commission meeting (on Oct. 13).”

It was then that the group realized the city decided not to terminate Chevron’s approvals, she said.

“We thought that everybody was working in good faith,” Lindstrom said. “In September, we let our supporters know that we were cautiously optimistic.”

The issue also drew concern from Sea & Sage Audubon Society, an Irvine conservation group, in the form of a

letter to the city.

“The supporters of Measure W and the citizens of Fullerton that voted ‘no’ clearly envisioned a different outcome that included a real opportunity to save the property as open space. They also did not expect their voices as voters to be ignored,” wrote Scott Thomas, the society’s special projects chairman.

Jose Buse, senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, said that the addendum the city made to the EIR is null and void. He said a revision is only appropriate where there is a certified EIR. “Here, the city’s previous certification of the final EIR for the project was voided as a consequence of voter-approved Measure W, which invalidated the development agreement associated with the project,” Buse wrote to the city council.

Engberg could not comment on any planned litigation by the Friends of Coyote Hills.

“I’m hoping that we can still work this out somehow,” Lindstrom said.

Students gain insights on leadership at conference National conference aims to empower student leaders MAHDEE GILL Daily Titan Nearly 200 college students attended the 6th Annual Circle of Change Leadership Conference held at Cal State Dominguez Hills last weekend to receive insight from accomplished executives, entrepreneurs and educators.

Students from all over the country and from several Cal State Universities attended to connect with like-minded people and to network with employers within their fields of interest.

Joshua Fredenburg, founder of the conference, spoke at the event about helping people find their purpose. Fredenburg seeks to pair students with people who have been where many students are trying to get to.

The leadership conference aims to “provide a program that not only empowers students to be more effective leaders of the 21st century, but really to connect them with seasoned leaders in a variety of different areas of expertise,” Fredenburg said. “That will enable them to obtain career leadership success.”

This year’s conference was nearly cancelled due to budgetary constraints.

DTBRIEFS Man climbs on transformer, dies A 42-year-old man died after climbing up an electrical transformer Saturday afternoon at a local Southern California Edison facility, according to the OC Register.

Police responded to a report of an explosion at an Edison substation near the corner of Brookhurst Road and Commonwealth Avenue around 3 p.m.

There, a man who climbed onto a transformer caught fire and suffered severe burns.

He was immediately taken to the UC Irvine Health Regional Burn Center in Orange. He died Sunday morning.

The event triggered a small power outage in nearby areas for about an hour and a half, affecting 628 Edison customers.

Boeing to close Long Beach plant The Southern California aerospace industry took another hit when the last Boeing C-17 Globemaster III cargo jet took off out of Long Beach on Sunday, according to the OC Register.

Due to shrinking demand from foreign governments, Boeing said that it has to shut down its Long Beach aircraft plant.

Nearly 2,200 people will lose their jobs at the plant, but many are expected to retire or transfer to other Boeing plants, officials said.

Over 250 Globemasters have been built at the plant over the past 20 years.

Nearly 1,000 people cheered the last Globemaster on as it took off. Many of them were employees of the plant.

Students from across the country got the opportunity to connect with leadership experts at the Circle of Change Leadership Conference at Cal State Dominguez Hills.

“The biggest threat this year was just getting the manpower to get the conference done,” Fredenburg said. “To recruit students and get the word out is another ongoing challenge in addition to the money, since you’re looking at about a $30,000 to $35,000 budget that is always staring you in the face.”

The attendance level was good this year, Fredenburg said, and he hopes to get the same or more next year.

“If we can get 300 to 400 (students) next year, I would be happy. It’s all about small growth year-to-year,” Fredenburg said. “Fullerton was here this year, and they brought about 30 students.”

Tyra Woods, a junior psychology major at Georgia Gwinnett College, said that she came to the seminar hoping to make peer connections and consult with prospective

employers.

Although she is not pursuing teaching, Woods spoke with someone who was looking for preschool teachers, she said. That meeting would spark another opportunity for her.

“She connected me to a website and someone who could potentially help me become a juvenile counselor,” Woods said. “I wasn’t even going to talk to her, but something said, ‘you never know.’”

As the conference concluded, students were encouraged to take the lessons that they learned back to their campuses and begin to implement them into their everyday lives. Participants were presented with an “America’s Next Top Leader” award, acknowledging their involvement and commitment to leadership.

For the Record The article “CSU faculty members rally for higher salaries,” published in the Nov. 18 issue, stated that the average salary for full-time professors across all CSU campuses was $96,000. This figure was not the average for full-time professors but full professors who have reached higher levels of seniority.

Pedestrian killed in hitand-run A hit-and-run in Santa Ana left one pedestrian dead Sunday, according to the OC Register.

Witnesses reported a dark blue Honda Accord speeding westbound on First Street, striking a 35-year-old pedestrian, said police Cmdr. Jeff Smith. The driver fled the accident while the man died at the scene.

Officials presume the Honda sustained significant front-end damage and is missing its driver’s side mirror.

The victim’s name has not been released pending notification of his family. It is unconfirmed if he was crossing an intersection at the time, Smith said.

Anyone with information regarding the accident is encouraged to contact Santa Ana police Cpl. Matt Wharton at 714-245-8209.

Local churches, like Freedomhouse Church, have been helping clothe, feed and house the North Orange County homeless population.

YUNUEN BONAPARTE / DAILY TITAN

Many homeless people are looking forward to the opening of the Fullerton National Guard Armory that will serve as a homeless shelter until late spring.

City armory to house homeless National Guard Armory to provide shelter for the winter SPENCER CUSTODIO Daily Titan The Fullerton National Guard Armory will open its doors today to provide overnight shelter to the local homeless population as night temperatures continue to drop with the approaching winter.

Normally, the armory would have been open by mid-November, but due to anticipated rains from El Niño, the county decided to wait to open the doors in order to extend the use into April and maybe early May, said Fullerton City Manager Joe Felz.

The armory can only be used for a total of six months out of the year, Felz said, adding that officials also have

to save some of that time for contingency plans in case there’s an emergency.

There are usually 10 to 12 people on hand at the site who are trained to respond to emergency situations, Felz said. The shelter will be run by the Mercy House, an Orange County nonprofit group that helps house the homeless year-round. At least 200 beds are available for the homeless while the armory is open.

Felz said that the armory always has meals for the homeless and the staff usually plays a movie or two every night for entertainment.

However, social or medical services are not provided at the armory, unlike some other local nonprofit groups that help the homeless.

There are currently 4,452 nightly homeless individuals across the county, a 5 percent increase since 2013, according to the 2015 survey by the Orange County Commission to End Homelessness.

The opening of the armory comes within weeks of the Orange County Board of Supervisors’ approval to build a year-round homeless shelter at 1000 N. Kraemer Place in Anaheim.

The Kraemer site has been a topic of heavy debate. A late-September community forum on the subject drew over 700 people to the meeting, making it the most attended community forum in Orange County’s recent history.

At the forum, some residents told county officials that they were worried about the homeless loitering in their neighborhoods, since the shelter was so close. Supporters of the Kraemer site voiced their approval that the county is finally making steps in the right direction to help curb homelessness.

The Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the Kraemer shelter at its Nov. 17 meeting.

Many homeless residents resort to using shopping carts to carry around what little belongings they have. The shelter aims to help protect them and their belongings this winter.

A big dream resides in a little shop

A couple brings European charm to chocolate shop EMILY DIECKMAN Daily Titan

Kevin Nosworthy, Alina Ayvazian and their daughter Alexandra make an absolutely adorable family.

As Alina prepares drinks on the counter of their gourmet chocolate shop, Dark 180, she mutters to Alexandra in Russian, trying to keep the energetic 3-year-old from wandering too far from their little stand in The Packing House in Anaheim.

Kevin has one hand on the white marble countertops and both eyes on Alexandra, calling out a gentle “Schmoop!” — his pet name for his daughter — each time she begins to wander out of sight.

How did Kevin, Alina and Alexandra end up in Anaheim? That’s the tale of a little family with a big dream.

When Ayvazian was a child, her family was forced to immigrate from the former Soviet Union into Moscow.

In 1992, they made their way to the United States just as the Soviet Union was falling apart.

“I was 14 years old when that happened. It was a very interesting time, not one that I wish on anybody. But it was very dramatic and colorful,” Ayvazian said of her experience.

Ayvazian went on to attend University of California, Berkeley, where she worked toward a graduate degree in archaeology.

There, she met Kevin, who had transferred to

Berkeley after a stint in the U.S. Marines and some time in community college.

The two were just friends in college and parted ways after graduation, although they kept in touch and ended up dating and getting married about a decade later.

The creation of Dark 180 is a culmination of ideas that the two developed after a lifetime of interesting experiences.

Nosworthy worked an information technology job for several years, where he only slept about 15 hours a week.

Physically exhausted by a job that he admitted paid quite well, he decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things.

“You know, I want something that’s a happy job,” Nosworthy said. “I’m just like, ‘You know, okay, kids like sweets. Kids are happy. Maybe I should just do that.’ And it had always been a curiosity. So then I went to Le Cordon Bleu, quit my job and was working as a pastry chef up in San Francisco.”

The couple’s European travels inspired the idea for a gourmet chocolate shop.

Both enjoyed the alternative experience that was offered in European cafes: a chance for patrons to receive service in an elegant environment without feeling rushed.

“Because Kevin and I used to be Middle Eastern archaeologists in our past life and we traveled around a lot, we always tasted the chocolate and we noticed the impact that good quality creations – foods or desserts – have on your overall experience of the place,” Ayvazian said.

They came away with a

Dark 180 serves a variety of chocolate desserts and specialty drinks. Patrons can enjoy their hot chocolate, which is made with a line of premium artisan chocolate, poured over ice cream, atop a handmade truffle, or topped with hand-whipped chantilly cream.

sense of appreciation for a level of service and quality that is not often seen in the United States, let alone Southern California.

The motto of their shop is, “The unexplored opposite of all things.” Their whole business is centered around the idea of breaking barriers and creating a holistic, peaceful environment where people can go to enjoy the finer things in life.

And this idea extends beyond the parameters of a chocolate cafe.

“We have two dreams connected to the Dark 180 corporation,” said Ayvazian.

“One is the dream of highest quality produce, be it dessert or otherwise, available to everybody. And the second dream is to make a

difference in the educational system.”

The two have had their fair share of issues with the education system in their lifetimes (Nosworthy talked about the nightmares of being a transfer student), and it has made them both passionate about making a substantial difference.

“We want to introduce environments, creative environments, where people can really learn, expand and grow as far as their interests and imaginations are willing to take them,” Nosworthy said.

Whether they’re discussing their upscale chocolate shop or an educational revolution, the sentiments behind this couple’s plans and ambitions remain the same.

Their goal is to foster an environment that offers a quality experience in tandem with a quality product.

The quality is evident in their rich and thick hot chocolate, their handmade truffles, their decadent brownies and their affogatos, which layer hot chocolate, coffee or mocha over a scoop of ice cream.

It’s especially impressive to consider all of the trouble the couple went through to ensure they’re providing the best of the best.

“We tested 17 different chocolate manufacturers before settling with the one that we’re carrying right now,” Ayvazian said.

In terms of the quality of the experience offered,

the two aim to create a place where people can escape from their troubles, take a moment to slow down and reflect on life’s possibilities.

“And it’s not just that,” Nosworthy said. “It’s actually to get rid of the idea of possible and impossible and things like that, because why are you going to categorize things? They’re only slowing you down.”

Dark 180 is located in The Anaheim Packing House.

It is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

It is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m Fridays and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sundays.

Water districts fine wrong people Rich residents freely waste water, while conservers pay ZACK JOHNSTON GINO RICCARDI Daily Titan If California expects to effectively fix its severe drought issue, then it must start cracking down on those contributing to the problem, and not punishing those trying to help.

Certain California residents have been doing their part to drastically cut back on their water usage, yet they have faced more fines than those who are still wasting water.

Apple Valley resident Debbie Alberts has done about everything she can to cut her family’s water usage nearly in half, yet she still received a surcharge of nearly $80 on her water bill, according to the New York Times.

At the same time, water-guzzling residents from places like Beverly Hills manage to get away without any fines.

Los Angeles’ top 10 water users consume as much as 90 average families do, according to the New York Times. Issuing fines to affluent, high-volume users has been dismissed as unnecessary.

“Because less-affluent residents of Los Angeles have conserved, the city is easily meeting its 16 percent mandated reduction and has had no need to force its wealthiest residents to pare back,” according to the New York Times.

Meanwhile in Apple Valley — where the mean annual income hovers around $50,000 — homeowners are penalized regularly, according to Citydata.com.

If LA residents have enough

Many Apple Valley residents have done all they can to conserve water to help alleviate the effects of the California drought, yet still face fines for not conserving enough. However, some wasteful residents of Los Angeles have been using excessive amounts of water with no penalties.

money to use thousands of gallons of water in order to maintain multiple pools on a property, then they should also have enough money to redesign their landscape to a more sustainable one.

Desert landscapes can be just as ornate as lush, green ones, while also drastically cutting down water usage.

Regardless of a distribution

of fines, a cultural shift that encourages Southern Californians to understand the everlasting environmental factors of the drought is necessary. If the drought persists, then the southland lifestyle could be in jeopardy.

This issue is just one part of the underlying problem of handling California’s drought. The rich just don’t

HAVE YOUR VOICE

seem to care.

“The problem lies, in part, in the social isolation of the rich, the moral isolation of the rich,” said Stephanie Pincetl, a supervisor in a UCLA water-use study, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Pincetl believes that wasteful California elites are “lacking a sense that we are all in this together.”

Allowing wasteful residents to use unnecessary amounts of water with no penalties is merely justifying their misguided sense of superiority.

The way these fines are being imposed sends the negative message that trying to conserve is not even worth it.

When residents see people

making a huge effort to conserve, but are still unable to escape fines, it offers less of an incentive to cut down on their own water usage.

In order to create a drought-conscious culture in California, those who are contributing to the problem need to be justly punished, and those who are doing their part to help should be recognized.

Titans roasted in holiday week

Women’s basketball dropped all five of its games over the week RYAN PORTER Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team suffered five consecutive losses over Thanksgiving Break, having been defeated by Pepperdine University, Weber State, the University of Wyoming, Southern Methodist University and Northern Illinois.

Vs. Pepperdine The Titans were defeated 81-75 on Friday Nov. 20 at the Firestone Fieldhouse.

The first Titan loss of the season came from a Pepperdine home opener, which saw the Waves eager for their first win of the season.

Freshman phenom guard Michelle Berry put up her first career double-double with 21 points and 13 rebounds for Fullerton. Redshirt senior Karima Gabriel was close behind Berry with 16 points, six rebounds and three blocks.

Vs. Weber State On Sunday Nov. 22, the Titans lost 60-40 to Weber

State in the Titan Gym. In their lowest scoring game of the season, the Titans could not find any rhythm, as they started off by scoring just nine points in the first quarter. Gabriel dropped 15 points, making it her second game in a row with double-digit points, and Samantha Logan led the team in rebounds with nine.

Berry played only 25 minutes, straying from her usual full-game performance. This allowed CSUF to utilize more reserves, as five players came off the Titan the bench in the weekend blowout.

Vs. Wyoming After their worst game of the season, the Titans came back and fought hard against Wyoming, but fell short in overtime and lost 61-56 Tuesday at Titan Gym. Fullerton, again, came out slow in the first quarter as Wyoming held them to just 11 points. The Titans gave the Cowgirls a taste of their own medicine in the second quarter, as they shocked the Cowgirl offense by allowing them just two more points before the end of the half.

The Titans’ offense remained relatively stagnant the rest of the game, as they scored just 21 points

in the final two quarters of regulation and eight in overtime.

Freshman guard Jade Vega scored 13 points and dished out a team-leading six assists. She scored another buzzer beating layup in the fourth quarter to take the game into overtime, but it would not be enough to overcome the loss.

Vs. Southern Methodist CSUF lost its fourth game of the week 74-53 to Southern Methodist University during the SMU Thanksgiving Tournament at Moody Coliseum on Friday.

Gabriel led the Titans by recording a season-high 21 points and freshman guard Dani Craig followed behind with 13 points for her fourth double-digit game of the season.

The Titans’ trend of coming out soft in the first quarter continued as they only scored seven but allowed their opponents 18 points to begin the game.

The Titans outscored SMU in the second and third quarters by a small margin, but SMU put the dagger in the game by blowing out the Titans 27-10 in the fourth quarter.

Vs. Northern Illinois The Titans dropped their

fifth straight game 72-49 to the Northern Illinois Huskies on Saturday at Moody Coliseum.

The Titans shot just 27 percent from the field, garnering their second-lowest point total of the season. Fullerton also shot 18.2 percent from behind

the 3-point line and 45.8 percent from the charity stripe.

Men’s soccer season ends at NCAA first round

YUNUEN BONAPARTE / DAILY TITAN

CSUF’s season came to an end at the hands of Santa Clara University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In its second consecutive appearance at the national postseason, Fullerton was served a 3-0 rout by the Broncos, denying the Titans the opportunity to improve on their result from the previous year. The Titans managed to win 13 games in 2015, making it their best season since 2000, when they won 15 matches.

HOROSCOPE Provided by: Tarot.com ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19)

You assumed you were right on track, but now you could realize how much you must change just to keep up with the shifting landscape.

If you aren’t comfortable with your place in the outer world now, look to your long-term goals for clues as to what you should be doing today.

LEO

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

It seems as if time is running out when it comes to stabilizing your relationship world. Interpersonal dynamics are in flux and the speed at which they change can be a bit dizzying. Don’t try to intellectualize this emotional journey today.

VIRGO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN

You are worried about being misunderstood today, but success ultimately depends less on how others see you than on how you see yourself. You may not want to fit into the expected norms of society, but you still wish to belong to a larger community.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

There’s an edge to your emotional instability today that encourages you to roll with the unexpected waves coming your way. Don’t bother constructing a barrier to keep the changes at bay, for this tired strategy just won’t work.

You might not be sure of your path yet, but you can buy yourself some time by choosing the right people to be around. Your heightened sensitivity means it’s more important than ever to surround yourself with those who support your dreams.

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Processing all the fantastic images that float into your awareness now can be rather overwhelming.

Whatever your intentions are for the day, don’t avoid the immediate tasks at hand. You might be able to accomplish something important with what you learn today.

CONTACT US: ADOSHI@DAILYTITAN.COM

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

Although you may not be certain about someone’s intentions today, you still may pretend that doubt doesn’t even appear on your radar. Nevertheless, you must also be careful about projecting over-inflated optimism for the next couple of days.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

Your current annoyance on the job can’t be directed at anyone in particular today, making it nearly impossible to express your true feelings. Put your emotional angst to good use by tackling a significant project.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You might be considering which of your values aren’t reflected in your current career path. Quite likely there are lessons waiting for you now, but you must accept your vulnerability before you can appreciate the knowledge.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

Life is all about making choices and it is healthier today to decide sooner than later. Of course, you can do what comes naturally and hide safely within your own inner world.

This self-protective strategy keeps others from realizing whatyou have to offer.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

The power of romantic inspiration wakes you up when the evocative Moon snuggles with imaginative Neptune in your 5th House of Love.

But nothing is simple now; your spiritual goals are not easily integrated with your emotional life.

PISCES

(Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)

You may have meticulously planned your day down to the last minute, but you face a good chance of seeing reality subtly slip off its hinges, anyway. If unfulfilled relationship desires are creating a cloud of sadness now, don’t push the feelings away.

Women’s volleyball ends season at 0-28

PATRICK DO / DAILY TITAN

CSUF has made significant improvements since its first game of the season against Loyola Marymount University, improving to 5-1 on the season and a perfect 3-0 at home.

Wins: Titans move to four in a row CONTINUED FROM

1

Coming out of the locker room, Fullerton looked determined to regain control of the match. The Titans got ahead 31-30 in the second half and were able to shut down the Wolf Pack offense to maintain the lead for the remainder of the half.

The Titans padded their lead, ending the game 7566 and giving them their fifth victory of the year to extend their win streak to four.

Head Coach Dedrique Taylor was pleased with his team’s ability to stay consistent throughout most of the game.

“I think our group was able to outlast them in

stretches by playing harder, getting stops and getting to the front of the rim,” Taylor said after the game. “Those stretches where we were able to get several stops, those were the differences in the second half.”

Statistically, Nevada held a slight edge over Fullerton in almost every category.

The Wolf Pack managed to out-rebound the Titans 40-37 while accumulating more second-chance points (13-9) and having better production from their bench.

However, the Wolf Pack committed a total of 19 turnovers as opposed to Fullerton’s 11. The Titans were able to capitalize on their opponents’ mistakes,

converting 14 points off Nevada turnovers.

Fullerton’s offense was once again fueled by Coggins and redshirt junior Lanerryl Johnson, who each scored in double figures.

Coggins led all scorers, reaching a new career-high with 25 points to go along with four rebounds, two assists and two steals, while Johnson logged in 18 points and two steals.

While only allowing their opponents to score 68 points per game, the Titans are averaging nearly 80 points per game on the season, with a 40.9 field goal percentage.

Fullerton will host the Bulls of Cal State Dominguez Hills on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Titan Gym.

RENZY REYES FOR THE DAILY TITAN

The Titans dropped their last game of the 2015 season, marking their first winless season in program history. The Fullerton Athletics Department had high hopes after signing new head coach Ashley Preston, but there were too many faults to make up for, causing the team to end the year without a victory.
