Earth Day brings attention CSUF expands to state’s severe drought linkage options

Program eases process for med school application NAYARA ASSIS Daily Titan

Dry brush and grass fading to brown surrounds the Huntington Beach wetlands, showing the effects of California’s hottest and driest years in over a millenium. Oil wells continuously pump into the cracked dry dirt as the only other noise that can be heard are lizards scurrying throughout the brush.

Experts urge CA to to merge Earth Day into their lifestyles ALEJANDRO REYNOSO For the Daily Titan Earth Day is celebrated Wednesday and marks the anniversary of what many see as the start of the modern environmental movement. The annual event was

founded in 1970 by former Sen. Gaylord Nelson in an attempt to raise awareness for environmental protection after witnessing the aftermath of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. There is no better place to raise environmental awareness than here in California, as the state is currently experiencing its hottest and driest years in over a millenium, according to a study published

by American Geophysical Union Journal. Although there is discord in the scientific community whether the drought is a natural phenomenon or human-caused climate change, there is a consensus among environmental experts and scientists who believe the drought was intensified by high temperatures spawned from greenhouse gases. The temperature is continuously rising, said

Sudarshan T. Kurwadkar, Ph.D, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering. “Continuous increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which accounts for 82 percent of all the greenhouse gases, has led to the dramatic changes in temperature variations.” The three-year period between 2011 and 2014 was the driest since record keeping began in 1895, according to a recent publication by the Public

Policy Institute of California. To make matters worse, 2014 was the warmest year on record in California. Such severe statistics prompted California Gov. Jerry Brown to issue mandatory water restrictions in potable water for cities all across the state on April 1. “Conservation of water is a big deal,” Kurwadkar said. “A penny saved is a penny earned.” SEE EARTH

In hopes of facilitating an easier, more cost-effective admission process into schools with medical programs, Cal State Fullerton has created linkage programs in conjunction with other universities. The programs, formally approved in 2014 and facilitated by the university’s Health Professions Program, are partnerships between Cal State Fullerton and two other universities: American University of Antigua and St. George’s University, said Christina Cardenas, Communications and Marketing Specialist for the office. Students in the program— who start as undergraduate students at CSUF—will be able to take advantage of an accelerated application process and will be offered special consideration for admission, Cardenas said. The program also saves students the necessity of applying to multiple medical schools, she said. “Traditionally, applying to several schools can cost upward of $5,000 with all the application fees and travel for interview,” she said. “Also, whereas U.S. medical schools typically have one application period a year, these two campuses have two or three application or ‘entry points.’” Both universities are located in the Caribbean, and program officials realize that not everyone will be suited to studying in an offshore program, said Christina Goode, Ph.D., director of the Health Professions Program.

CSUF golfer chases professional dreams Tisha Alyn Abrea is hoping to become an LPGA player STEPHANIE GOMEZ Daily Titan It was the first hole in the first golf tournament of her life. Seven-year-old Tisha Alyn Abrea, competing in the 9 to 12-yearold girls division, had just carded an 11 on a parfour hole; not a good start. With tears in her eyes, she broke tournament rules and ran to her parents in the crowd and told them she wanted to quit, but they encouraged her to finish the game. She did—in last place. After her loss in that very first competition, she returned next year to the same tournament and won. Now, ten years and many tournaments later, Alyn Abrea can’t imagine giving up golf. “I’ve never burnt out.

I’ve always loved it,” Alyn Abrea said. The 21-year-old broadcast journalism major will be graduating from Cal State Fullerton in May. With only a few weeks left in the semester, Alyn Abrea says she is on the brink of reaching her next goal: going pro and competing in the Ladies Professional Golf Association. In 2014, Alyn Abrea achieved several personal records like finishing with a 75.31 scoring average and earning four top-10 finishes throughout the season. That year was also the one which cemented her resolve to pursue a professional career. “I felt like this game that I have is good enough to compete at a really high level ... the fact that I’ve kind of already touched greatness for a little bit was like, ‘OK you got to at least try; you can’t quit before you even try,’” Alyn Abrea said.

Educating about autism

Event to give parents, teachers information to educate students WOARIA RASHID For the Daily Titan

The best practices to educate students with autism will be highlighted and discussed during the ninth annual Conference on Autism Spectrum Disorders. Each year, approximately 400 parents and educators attend the conference, which began nine years ago when Belinda Karge, Ph.D., a professor of special education, obtained a National Institute of Health conference grant. “This conference allows community members, which includes parents, administrators, teachers, and leaders in the community, to come and learn more about evidence-based interventions for Autism,” said Erica Howell, Ph.D., an assistant professor of special education.

Attendees can then apply the information they learn at the conference to their work with children with autism, Howell said. The keynote speaker, Stephen Hinkle regularly gives presentations around the U.S. on autism, inclusive education and disability policy. He will present “The Hidden Curriculum of School” during the keynote address Friday and “Inclusion from a Student’s Perspective” in Saturday’s keynote. Hinkle, who was diagnosed with autism, went through the public education system, eventually graduating with a bachelor’s degree in computer science from San Diego State University, and later a master’s in special education from Northern Arizona University, according to Hinkle’s website. Since then, he has trained teachers and parents to better work with special needs children, and works with school system and advocacy organizations to adopt policies that

best support special needs students. Howell and Karge are co-directors of the Center for Autism and co-chairs of the conference. Since the conference’s inception, an organized group of community members plan and invite individuals with

expertise each year. The conference is partially funded this year by the Autism, Inclusion, Mathematics Core and Science Innovation Scholar Program , directed by Karge. As of now, approximately 200 tickets have been sold. The Friday session is from

6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and costs $25, the Saturday session is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and costs $50 with lunch provided. To attend both sessions the cost is $75 and must be specified in the registration form. The conference will take place Friday to Saturday in the Embassy Suites in Brea.

The U.S. charged six men from Minnesota for attempting to join The Islamic State Monday, according to The Wall Street Journal. The six men repeatedly attempted to travel to Syria despite being stopped and warned of the consequences, authorities said. 20-year-old Abdi Nur managed to get out of the country hours before the FBI determined his plans to join The Islamic State. Two of the men charged Monday said Nur kept contact with them, told them he was fighting with Islamic State and would put them in touch with someone in Mexico who had access to fake passports. The men were set to appear in court Monday afternoon and it was unclear if they had lawyers.

Student entrepreneurs and local businesses will be highlighted at the annual Small Business Bash.

Bringing student business to CSUF Student entrepreneurs to market products at Small Business Bash ALAN BERNAL For the Daily Titan The Entrepreneur Society will hold its annual Small Business Bash Tuesday to showcase Cal State Fullerton’s student entrepreneurs. Local businesses, vendors and student entrepreneurs will be marketing their products and services to students during this event. Member participation in the bash will be up this year as over half of the vendors queued for the event will be students, student participant Tristan Schmitt said. The Entrepreneur Society challenges its members by introducing them to environments that will emulate situations they may face as future business owners, Schmitt said.

“I feel that this will be a great opportunity for them to see that just by being out there that you know it’s not such a hard thing to get themselves out there,” Vice President of the Entrepreneur Society Andrea Wang said. The event will offer a wide range of products and services such as food trucks, jewelry and accessories. “If (the people) don’t really like (a student vendors) product or service, it’s a great way to improve and see what they can do better,” Wang said. “But I just feel like this event is a really great way for them to see what works and what doesn’t work.” Schmitt, a finance and entrepreneur major, is co-founder of Modern Zinc which is a line of sheets infused with Zinc. Schmitt will provide brochures to educate students of the health benefits and cost-effectiveness of his future

product. Schmitt recently joined the Entrepreneur Society in spring, and was met with encouragement from the entire club to “dive into” his business venture. “I’ve always been interested in starting my own business, I was just never ready to full on dive into the entrepreneurship major,” Schmitt said. “The Entrepreneur Society is all about supporting each other, and that’s like a big focus they have … they want to really engage you, have the rest of the club help you with ideas and get you connected with any people that you might need or any help that you might need.” Despite the lack of efforts to get involved earlier in his college career, Schmitt knows that this event will be a big step to his future endeavors, he said. The Small Business Bash will take place on April 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the central Quad.

Planning a better business Graduate students learned art of consulting in class MATTHEW HADDIX Daily Titan A group of five graduate students from Cal State Fullerton’s Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics placed second in a national competition for student-organized, strategic business planning. The group took second place at the Small Business Institute Consulting Project of the Year Competition for strategic business planning, the practice of analyzing a company’s internal and external factors and developing a plan to make that business more successful. This is the fourth time graduate student-led teams from CSUF have placed in the top three in this competition. For the past 22 years CSUF’s teams have placed in the top 10. Fernando Arevalo, Daniel Equina, Anita Kao, Ryan Laiola and Sumer Sharma, the group whose plan won the award, have since graduated, as it takes multiple years to analyze the impact of their work. The students were part of a capstone course for a business master’s program in strategic management that required them to execute their own business planning.

DEVIN ULMER / DAILY TITAN

Graduate students from the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, now alumni, placed second in the Small Business Institute Consulting Project of the Year. The students analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of a Reborn Cabinets Inc., and used that analysis to help improve the business.

The class, led by Peng Chan, Ph.D, a professor in the management program, is designed to give students experience in producing a real-world strategic business consultation. The students organized themselves into a team called Enterprise Consulting Group and were assigned a small business,

Reborn Cabinets Inc., a custom cabinet manufacturer, to work with. The group was required to analyze the company both internally and as a competitor in the marketplace, and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, Chan said. “Sometimes when we go in, the client has something specific in mind, saying

‘here’s our problems.’” Chan said, “As we start the consulting process, they’ll realize a lot of things that are very interesting that they haven’t even thought about,” Chan said The students used focus groups to better understand Reborn Cabinet’s clientele. About 60 individual people were interviewed, Laiola,

a member of the student team, said. The comprehensive nature of the consulting gave Laiola a greater appreciation for the nuances of business operation, he said. “You step back and write an entire recommendation to see how everything leads up to the big picture again,” Laiola said.

Reborn Cabinets noticed the work Enterprise Consulting Group did as well. “The client wanted to hire me,” Laiola said, “I took their offer very seriously.” Laiola is currently the vice president of the commercial banking arm of California Bank & Trust’s greater Southern California division.

Linkage: Program aids pre-med students CONTINUED FROM

“The linkage allows us to carefully advise applicants and so a goal is that students are fully informed before pursuing this route,” she said.

In order to qualify, students must meet the requirements at each professional school and have a 3.3 GPA or higher in science courses. In addition, they have to take the Medical School Admissions Test

(MCAT) and must complete and submit an application to the CSUF Health Professions Committee, said Christina Goode, Ph.D., director of the Health Professions Program. “The applicants should

have strong faculty recommendations, personal statements that tell us who they are and healthcare experience,” Goode said. American University of Antigua and St. George’s University are the latest

among many schools to join Cal State Fullerton in linkage programs. The other partnerships are with Western University of Health Science and its optometry, osteopathic, pharmacy and podiatry

programs; Lake Eerie College of Medicine’s dental, osteopathic and pharmacy programs; and the George Washington School of Medicine’s medical program for pre-health certificate students.

Garage Gains’ got the goods

A garage sale where the buyers choose the price to pay DANIELLE HAMBRICK For the Daily Titan

Unlike other garage sales, Garage Gains did not put price tags on any of their items being sold. Instead, business and entrepreneurship students in charge of the sale, told people to pay what they wanted to donate to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County. “We really just encouraged people to pay the price that they felt was justified to give back to children’s hospital,” said Kaylyn Donohue, 21, pursuing a minor in business entrepreneurship. “At first we were thinking about giving set prices but a lot of people were actually willing to pay a little bit more through that donation request.” As part of a community outreach project, seven Cal State Fullerton students worked to partner with the children’s hospital to develop a non-profit organization— based on the concept of a garage sale. Now, with the help of generous donations and a unique pricing system, Garage Gains is working to help communities around the nation. The new Fullerton-based, nonprofit organization Garage Gains held its first event Saturday in parking Lot A. The organization paired up with the Children’s Hospital and has been working toward the event all semester to make it a success. Garage Gains is a traveling organization that holds

The first Garage Gains garage sale on Saturday, made $801 to donate to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, the communities charity of choice. The team behind Garage Gains is part of CSUF’s business and entrepreneurship course where they must pitch a concept to be developed into a business.

large garage sales to benefit the communities charity of choice, said founder and team leader Kaylyn Donohue, 21, who is pursuing a minor in business entrepreneurship. Within the business and entrepreneurship major, students must pitch a concept, which will then be developed into a business. The top five business ideas were voted on and Garage Gains was one of them, Donohue said. “We formed a team of seven students and we’ve been working on it for the past few months, to soft launch this nonprofit and to pair up with the children’s hospital for our first event.” Garage Gains donates the

money they raise to a different charity for each city that they travel to. Garage Gains team member, Andrew Attia, 21, business and entrepreneurship major, said the community gets to decide where their charity money will go to. Since Garage Gains encourages community participation, the team members reached out to certain people throughout the community to donate their items. Attia said they asked friends, family, strangers and used social media and Craigslist to search for donations. The Garage Gains team was open to any items being offered up as donations

Donohue said. The items sold at the event ranged from picture frames, books, television sets, couches and even a door. A sign above a small mountain of clothing read “Fill a bag of clothes for $3,” was reduced to $1 by 1:30 p.m. Donohue said that some of their “big ticket” items were snowboards, a dining room set and a table with barstools. “We got donated three brand new snowboards, so that was actually one of our very first items to go,” Donohue said. Donohue hopes to continue developing Garage Gains after the class is over.

“We definitely learned a lot from today’s event. What we would do the same and also what we would do differently,” Donohue said. “It was a lot of work to be just a handful of students; we would definitely need a lot more manpower if we want to continue to do this.” Garage Gains plans to stay local and hold more events in Orange County, Los Angeles and San Diego due to their budget. Then hopefully move up the coast to San Francisco and eventually out of California into other states, Donohue said Amanda Wollaston, 21, history major and former children’s hospital patient,

said she attended the event because the proceeds were going to a good cause. “My favorite part was just sharing this experience with other Titans,” Wollaston said. “There was a bunch of alum Titans that came by today and especially seeing people that have had children’s hospital experiences or are going through children’s hospital experiences really made my day.” The Garage Gains team raised a total of $801 from the event to donate to the children’s hospital. Donohue said all of the money not used to cover the event’s expenses will be given to the hospital.

Zine culture keeps pre-internet blog relevant IMANI JACKSON For the Daily Titan Zine lovers and publishers gathered at the Orange County Museum of Art for the Fanatic Zine Night on Friday to discuss the relevancy of zines and zine culture. Zines (rhymes with teens and jeans, not vines and mines) are homemade publications created by anyone with a voice and a creative love for DIY projects. It is derived from the word magazine. Legendary zine artists and scholars, Jen Smith, co-founder of the original Riot Grrrl Zine, and the creator of the BOOKMOBILE Project, Onya

Hogan-Finlay, facilitated by Mukta Mohan of KXLU Los Angeles 88.9 FM, discussed at the event the evolution of zines and its culture of people. People who feel a need to express themselves in a safe place can collaborate within the zine scene, where they may often feel misrepresented in the mainstream world. This is why zine culture is often associated with some of the more underground and energetic movements like punk, feminist and queer. “Feminism brought me to zines and then zines brought me to a much wider community” Onya Hogan-Finlay one of the speakers at the event said. But for Smith, it was the music that got her into zines. “Punk in particular was this, like permission, to just do it,” Smith said. “And so I feel like zines were just

another extension of that.” It can be difficult to come up with a more specific definition of the hipster and punk magazines because not all zines are the same. But the differences in zines and zine makers, as well as its accessibility, keep the zine culture interesting.

“

Zines can be published regularly or irregularly and distributed person-to-person and sold at fairs or bookstores. Some are even displayed in museum exhibitions like “Alien She”, that’s on display at the Orange County Museum of Arts through May 24.

I like the idea of making things that my friends can afford to buy and can be traded, to me that’s the big appeal.

“

“Zine scene” gathers to showcase their art and talk shop

ROB BROWN Print and Sound Artist Like the art world, “there’s different sections, there’s not one zine culture” said Rob Brown, 33-yearold print and sound artist. “And so I like the idea of making things that my friends can afford to buy and can be traded or more accessible, to me that’s the big appeal.”

“A lot of it came from pre-internet, like a way for people to have a voice and distribute ideas and share ideas. And I think that culture still exists,” Brown said. Living in the digital age, it can be tough to see where zines fit in when blogs, Tumblr and Twitter

surround it. But zines are still a very tangible way to meet like-minded people. “It’s like the original blog,” said Benny Edles, 26-year-old organizer for the Orange County Zine Fest. “There’s CD’s and MP3’s, but there’s still a lot of people that are just into records,” said Joe Goboyn, a 33-year-old zine maker from Applesauce Industries. “It’s one thing to just be able to buy a MP3 and listen to it in your car, but some people want to buy a record and open up the thing and read the lyrics, and feel the thing in their hands.” It’s the exact same thing with zines that keep them as relevant as they were in the 1970s and 1990s. Zines are rich with personality as it allows zine makers to see reflections of themselves through an

archive of moments than they would through the selection of templates on a blog site. “I feel like blogs and the Internet actually disseminates people whose ideas about themselves are still being constructed … and I think that that’s not healthy,” Smith said. “You need some privacy as you develop your identity. You need a place to feel like ‘I am not a total weirdo and freak’ and not because everybody on Facebook or the blog sphere has something to say, but because your friend next to you is like ‘I understand what you’re talking about.’” Zine making is alive and well, as evidenced by the Fanatic Zine Night, as well as the Long Beach Zine Fest and many more fairs that allow people to voice their thoughts and share their creativity.

Limiting the use of water will not only help with the drought but will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions Kurwadkar said. The conservation of water will induce water treatment plants to use less electricity due to the decrease of water supply and thus reducing its carbon footprint. “Consuming less (water) will produce less waste water, which will need less treatment,” Kurwadkar said. Many experts warn that the drought will have devastating economic repercussions within the state. “It is estimated that the current drought this year is going to cost over $2 billion in lost FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

economic output,” said Anil K. Puri, Ph.D., dean of the Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics. “With up to 70,000 jobs lost, primarily in central California and agriculture.” With a lack of surface water in California due to below-average precipitation, the agricultural industry and many counties across the state are using alternative methods to produce potable water. In fact, Orange County currently has the largest water purification project of its kind in the world. The Groundwater Replenishment System takes wastewater and purifies it, producing a high-quality water supply for its residents. The purification system produces up to 70 million gallons

of high-quality water a day, meeting the needs of nearly 600,000 residents within the county, according to the Orange County Water District, But again, these alternative projects have their drawbacks. Both Kurwadkar and Puri agree that alternative methods are “energy intensive” and could cause harm to the environment in the long term. As a result, Kurwadkar urges the public to become environmentally conscious, not just on Earth Day but also incorporate it into their lifestyle. “Each and every individual has a share in climate change,” Kurwadkar said. “When there is awareness on the individual level and everybody starts doing their part of their share, it’ll be a better world.”

Apple isn’t to blame for emoji concerns

Apple’s effort to include multiple races is commendable HEAVAN OCAMPO Daily Titan

Apple released a software update this month that offers a variety of skin tones for the emojis. The new update allows users to select from six different choices of skin color, expanding on the yellow default option that’s meant to be racially neutral. Despite many arguing that this update has only made the subject of race an even larger issue, Apple isn’t to blame for the racial insensitivity of iPhone users. Apple made the right move by creating more ethnically diverse emojis and shouldn’t revert back to the neutral yellow emojis. Apple’s old emoji keyboard only allowed users to select an ethnically white representation as well as a

few ethnicities that included only male counterparts. In 2014, Apple announced they were working on an update to include more diversity, which added onto the 2012 update that included samesex couple emojis. This well-intentioned update has caused more issues than expected, eliciting harsh criticism from media outlets. Other users are criticizing the unnecessary obligation to pick an emoji that accurately represents themselves, instead of choosing a default. These user problems reflect racial inequality within American culture and Apple cannot be held responsible for their efforts of inclusivity. Issues of racial inequality are a reflection of the way American culture handles race exclusion. Forty-nine percent of Americans believe there needs to be more progress made to narrow gaps between ethnic groups, according to a 2013

Pew Research Center study. The study also found 35 percent of African Americans and 20 percent of Hispanics felt they were treated unfairly because of their race. Those statistics indicate the inequality that people of color are subjected to within the United States. If users are guilty of making racist remarks with the new emojis, that’s their problem, not Apple’s. Equal representation is important yet lacking in the United States, reflected in the stereotypes and prejudices against people’s appearances everyday. If Apple chooses to remove their new emojis now, it would be cowardly. The demand for racial inclusion needs to be represented and Apple shouldn’t falter because of a few uncivilized users. We must embrace the diversity and dynamism that reflects the heart of America if race is to ever become a non issue.

AMANDA SHARP/ DAILY TITAN

People still aren’t satisfied with Apple’s effort to include multiple races on the emoji keyboard.

Graduates should consider taking a break There is no obligation to chase a career post-graduation LILIANA MOTA For the Daily Titan As graduation inches closer every day, many students are worried about their future. The entire objective in school is to prepare students with the necessary skills to land a job. But in a job market so bleak, students shouldn’t feel ashamed if they haven’t

landed a job come graduation. There are so many options to consider, only one of which is working on a career. Finishing college is a great accomplishment, but by this time, brains are exhausted and motivation levels have been thoroughly spent along the way. Taking a year off after graduation is by far the greatest opportunity to recharge that tired brain and regain ambition. Many students choose to pursue graduate school or even an internship, which

is a great start, but don’t despair if these aren’t available options. Taking a break after graduation doesn’t mean pushing off a career; it’s an opportunity to take a breather and relax. Travel, explore, learn how to cook, indulge in an unforgettable endeavor or perhaps keep working at your current job. Even though that’s nothing exciting, it provides a chance to clear the mind and refuel for the next endeavor while gaining some financial stability.

Most college graduates don’t have a clue as to what they’re going to do after graduation. Instead, take this time to focus on yourself. Whether that means going on hikes everyday, lounging around the pool or catching up on your Netflix queue, just relax and go with the flow. Another reason to take a year off is to beef up that resume. Get an internship somewhere, polish your career skills, and continue into the workforce as a motivated, dedicated individual ready to thrive. There

is no need to feel forced about giving a thrilling response when asked about your plans after graduation. Lounging around figuring out what to do next is perfectly acceptable. Taking a year off is a great time to just be lazy and only worry about yourself. You can finally spend more time with loved ones instead of rushing to class and commuting to work. Take a nice, long breather from the stress school has brought your entire life and explore what life has to offer. It can be as exciting as

travelling to another country, or as simple as relaxing at a coffee shop or hanging out with friends. Don’t be afraid to take a year off. We’re not supposed to have all the answers right now. Your twenties are supposed to be about discovering yourself. Besides, you’ve already accomplished something— earning a degree—so pat yourself on the back and give yourself a much needed vacation. You have your whole life to work hard. Life is short—get out there and enjoy yourself.

The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team will be the seventh seed heading into the Big West Championships this weekend at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The Titans will face the UC Irvine Anteaters in their first round match. CSUF was swept in its previous encounter with UCI this season, but many of the matches went three sets and the Titans stayed competitive throughout.

Tennis seeks upset over UCI Titans hope to avoid being a one and done team at Indian Wells JONATHAN TRABUCCO For The Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team is looking to take a disappointing regular season and turn things around at the Big West Championships. The Titans ended the season on a good run of form as they were able to win two of their last three league encounters. The Titans did not get off to the best of starts and ended the

regular season with a 10-11 record, but they have begun to play better tennis of late and it has shown in the results. With the Titans’ two conference wins, they were able to secure a seven seed in the upcoming Big West Championships that are set to be held at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Securing the seven seed in the Big West Championships has allowed the Titans to avoid playing in the first round. They are set to play UC Irvine, which will be the two seed after a 6-2 conference campaign. CSUF played the Anteaters earlier this season

in Irvine, where the Titans were swept 7-0. Although the Titans lost in convincing fashion on March 4, the Titans can take a lot of positives in preparation for Friday’s match. In that earlier contest, the Titans were unable to secure the doubles point, as they lost two of the three sets. However, the No. 2 doubles team of Danielle Pham and Alexis Valenzuela dominated their set, winning 8-2. Although the Titans were unable to avoid the shutout last time out, many of the matches had tight set scores, which should give the team hope that an upset

is in the cards. No. 1 singles player Valenzuela lost a first set tiebreaker before dropping the second set 6-3. Camille De Leon, playing in the No. 2 singles slot, won an opening tiebreaker before losing a tight 6-4 set, followed by a grueling 13-11 set. Even Emilia Borkowski and Kalika Slevcove in the respective No. 5 and 6 spots lost threeset thrillers that could have easily swayed in the Titans’ favor. Although the Titans go into Friday’s encounter as massive underdogs, they could pull the upset. If the Titans could have won

those close sets in the previous match, the match could have easily gone Fullerton’s way. If they are going to defeat the Anteaters, the Titans are going to have to play well in the big moments. Even though the score looked lopsided last time against Irvine, the match was much closer than the score suggested. That means CSUF is going to need to play its best, especially during the vital points to reverse the previous outcome. The Titans come into this match in great form, which should give them even more confidence going up against

the two-seeded Anteaters. If the Titans are able to upset UC Irvine on Friday, CSUF will play Saturday against either the thirdseed in UC Santa Barbara or the Aggies of UC Davis, who come in as the six seed. The tournament gets underway Thursday when eighth-seeded Cal Poly San Luis Obispo takes on ninth-seeded UC Riverside to determine who will advance to the quarterfinals. For the Titans, the tournament begins Friday at 8 a.m. and they will hope to keep playing until all the way until Sunday’s championship match.

Golfer: Alyn Abrea shooting for the LPGA 1

Born and raised in Illinois until the age of 15, Alyn Abrea said her father had always wanted a boy. When he got a girl, he was still determined to involve her with sports. While on a trip to visit family in California, the then-3-year-old Alyn Abrea made an impression on her father and other bystanders on the range, using a plastic golf set to hit some balls. By the time they were on the plane ride home, her father had

decided she would become a golfer. After a period in which she felt she was playing more for her parents than for herself, Alyn Abrea rediscovered her passion for the game around age 15. After multiple injuries, she began working with a new swing coach whose methods made Alyn Abrea a better golfer and relit her fire for the game. “It was no longer playing to make my family proud; it was playing because I really want this,” Alyn Abrea said. That passion and drive

continued and carried her through her college games. Recruited to CSUF with

“

Sinn-Bonanni said Alyn Abrea was the first one to take that leap, and the two

But now that I’m so close to that decision time, if I was 30 or 40 and I look back and say I quit now, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.

CONTINUED FROM

TISHA ALYN ABREA CSUF Golfer a full scholarship in 2011, Alyn Abrea said she took a leap of faith by coming to a university with a brand new golf program. Head Coach Pearl

have worked closely since day one. During recruiting, Sinn-Bonanni said, Alyn Abrea had the “it” factor and “she played without fear in her game.”

She says Alyn Abrea is a player who takes charge of her game and knows what will work for her. “She still has a lot of confidence about who she is and what she wants out of life,” Sinn-Bonanni said. Alyn Abrea will enter “mini tournaments” as a professional until August, when she will compete at Qualifying School, a series of multiple-day tournaments for aspiring LPGA-level golfers. “I think that as I grew, the dream of becoming a professional kind of dwindled because reality checked in,”

Alyn Abrea said. “But now that I’m so close to that decision time, if I was 30 or 40 and I look back and say I quit now, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.” While golf is her main priority, Alyn Abrea’s second dream is to join The Golf Channel as a commentator, her ideal venue for using her broadcast education. For now, though, she’s chasing one dream at a time and the girl that was sobbing in her first golf tournament is focusing on starting her professional career.

Women’s golf moves into sixth after strong second round The Titans are within reach of two others heading into final day ANDREW MCLEAN Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton moved up a spot Monday at the Big West Conference

women’s golf championship with the help of sophomore Martina Edberg and junior Nadine Rivera. This year’s Big West Conference Championship is hosted by the five-time defending champions UC Davis at El Macero Country Club in El Macero, California. The Titans ended Sunday

in a tie for seventh, but managed to jump into sixth place at the end of Monday’s action due in large part to Edberg and Rivera. Edberg, the defending individual champion, entered Monday sitting in 18th place overall. But by Monday’s end, Edberg managed to move to 10th place after

she shot an even-par 72. Rivera also shot an evenpar 72, good enough to move her into a tie for 23rd with freshman teammate Brittany Farrell. Rivera shot seven birdies on the day, which was second best in that category. UC Davis’ Andrea Wong is leading the pack in the individual competition

with a five-under 139, holding a slim lead of one stroke over Hawaii’s Raquel Ek. The Titans collectively shot an 11-over par 299 on the day and are 36-over 612 through two rounds. The Titans trail Cal Poly San Luis Obispo by four strokes and Long Beach State by seven strokes.

UC Davis is atop the leaderboards as they finished Monday shooting 7-under par 281. This puts the Aggies at 569 overall, 12 strokes ahead of second place Hawaii. CSUF will be looking to stay focused and finish strong Tuesday in the last day of the Big West Conference Championship.
