TSU expansion begins, services unaffected

Student wants to help children through music ERICA SHARP Daily Titan Eunbyul Yi’s motivation to gain a teaching credential came from a dream she had about a student she taught at her church. “In the dream, I turn around and she has grown so much,” Yi said. “All of a sudden, I was crying and hugged her and I was like, ‘You are so amazing.’ She grew so beautifully.” Yi said she is convinced the dream was a sign from God, encouraged her to teach children. “Kids are so important,” Yi said. “It is our responsibility to take care of them.” As a second-generation immigrant, Yi said she understands the challenges that immigrant children face, especially when trying to communicate with their parents. “That sense of not having a clear identity really affects the kids,” Yi said. “I see kids going about it in a not-so-positive way … so I want to be there and teach them that you can be Korean and American at the same time.” SEE TEACHING

Construction crews get the area ready to begin laying the foundation for which the expanded area of the Titan Student Union will be built upon. Officials say that no services will be affected during the construction process.

Expansion to provide more space to study SULE RECINOS Daily Titan The expansion to the Titan Student Union began over the summer with the demolition phase completed

before the start of the semester. The construction crew is finishing up the site work to lay the foundation to meet the spring 2017 completion date. The $20 million funding of the expansion was provided by the campus union fee saved over the years by previous Titan Student Centers Governing Board. The campus union fee is $134, which is included in tuition

and campus fees every semester for CSUF students. “It was a pure cash project. There’s no debt involved and student fees weren’t raised,” said Governing Board chair Kristyn Grime. The TSU was first constructed in 1976 for a student population of 25,000. For the 2015-2016 academic year, there is an overall enrollment of 38,856

students. The increased student body spurred the need for more space at the TSU. Grime said the purpose of the project was to provide more open study spaces. “The food court is super crowded right now due to so many people studying,” Grime said. The new design provides students with more space to

study and lounge, and help them become more familiar with the existing building. The new design will allow people to see inside the areas that house the student government within the TSU and it may encourage more students to get involved, since they will know exactly where ASI is located, Grimes said.

Pizza Press to open across from campus

New restaurant will have grand opening Saturday CLAYTON WONG Daily Titan

Amidst construction noises and chefs hustling around, Pizza Press owner Danny Hon surveys the monochromatic, newspaper-inspired interior with a wide smile. Carrying a light scent of freshly cut basil and crushed garlic, he moves between pristine countertops and patterned walls, greeting employees as they prepare for the restaurant’s grand opening. The idea of owning a franchise had always been a dream of Hon’s since he began working with his parents in a Chinese restaurant in the late ‘80s. His chance finally arrived when he started working with Pizza Press founder Dara Maleki. Hon began working with Maleki two

years ago by supplying the restaurants with soda cups. “I really bought into the franchisor, the founder,” Hon said. “At the end of the day, your franchisor is the one that’s the head of the train, so we really have to rely on him to keep the brand relevant, keep the brand growing. And I think (Maleki) is a man that’s capable of taking it all the way.” For Hon, a Fullerton native, opening a franchise across the street from CSUF on Nutwood Avenue was an obvious choice. He felt comfortable in his hometown and saw it as a city finally reaching its potential, citing the popularity of downtown Fullerton, which did not exist when he was growing up. “Every time I’ve come back, I’ve noticed the city itself growing and progressively getting better,” Hon said. “Hand in hand, I think that has a lot to do with the Cal State Fullerton system and how they’re growing.” SEE PIZZA

Expansion: TSU to open early 2017 CONTINUED FROM

“Not many people know that the Titan Student Union has three levels … so we’re hoping with the new design plans that it opens it up more and shows that there is a downstairs and a second floor where students are able to see everything that we offer,” said Michael Badal, president and CEO of ASI. “Students are still going to have access to our existing lounge spaces, to the food courts and to all of the areas that they currently enjoy,” said Drew Wiley, coordinator of leader and program development. “It’s not like we’re losing space because that was one of the big concerns going into the project is how are we going to get this thing built without kind of impacting or lessening the ability for us to provide services to our students,” Wiley said. Four white dry erase boards have also been placed at the TSU while construction is taking place, giving students an opportunity to promote their organizations and clubs. The white boards are labeled with ASI, Titan Student Centers Governing Board, Student Recreation Center, TSU, club news and the latest expansion news.

Incentives at CSUF Irvine campus boost enrollment ERICA BUESA Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Irvine campus enrollment incentives proved to be successful in increasing enrollment and the administration plans to continue with incentives to help the campus grow. Morteza Rahmatian, interim assistant vice president of South County operations and initiatives, created incentive plans that would aim to boost enrollment at the South Orange County satellite campus. The Irvine campus incentives included priority registration for next spring for students who enrolled in six units or more, and a fall semester-long use of a brand new laptop for those students who enrolled in 15 units or more. The incentive of free parking never came to fruition, but Dr. Rahmatian said he was a stubborn man and considered trying again in the future.

“Being a business-oriented person, I truly believe in incentives and if I ask you to do something for me, what’s in it for you? … So I talked to the council of deans. I talk-

Dean of Irvine Campus Susan Cooper was in full support of this plan and was very pleased with the results. Cooper said that they have had an increase of more than 300 students at the Irvine campus this semester. She said that at least 50 graduate students and nearly 210 former Irvine Valley College students enroll. Brian McAvoy, 21, business major, takes only one course at the Irvine campus,

but claimed that he would take more classes if they were made available and could accommodate his schedule. McAvoy, like all CSUF students, received emails over the summer offering the incentives, but he was unclear about how to qualify for them. “I actually didn’t really know what (the incentive) was. (The email) did clarify what it was, but I wasn’t sure how I would be qualified. I thought you had to fill out an application or some other documentation,” McAvoy said. Although the senior only takes one course at Irvine this semester, he is a member of the ASI, is involved in campus life and helps orchestrate movie nights at the Irvine campus. The campus offers a gym, a bookstore, snacks for sale, kitchenette areas and a small TSU. The Irvine campus also features a library with desktop computers, Wi-Fi and an abundance of parking.

Leavy would also like to see the campus grow, but recognized that they would need to bring on additional staff and counselors. Leavy said that if the student body at the Irvine campus were to grow — unless they were to hire additional

staff — she would be impacted, as with the other staff and faculty on campus. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these incentives and Rahmatian is considering re-addressing the 15-unit requirement laptop incentive.

Trash bins and vehicles around the east side of Humanities made the area look “unattractive and hazardous,” said Facilities Management Vice President Willem van der Pol. The department wanted to turn that area into a safely equipped loading dock area. The newly built enclosure area is used for two purposes: “One is for the trash receptacles with the recycling program. We have more containers and it is more important to make sure there is no cross contamination,” van der Pol said. “Two, it is where the operational vehicles park and sometimes

we can stage projects in that area. Keeping the passerby out of that area will increase safety.” Furthermore, Vice President for Administration and Finance Danny Kim said that the loading dock behind the Humanities building was hazardous and a liability for

The first-ever aerial spraying of mosquito pesticide in Orange County began Wednesday night when a twin-engine aircraft flew 300 feet in the air over eight cities in north and central county that are believed to house West Nile-infected mosquitoes, according to the OC Register. The spraying ran from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. and is scheduled to run Thursday night in the same time frame. Although officials have told residents that they don’t need to close windows and doors, shut off air conditioners or stay inside, about 50 protesters gathered outside at the OC Mosquito and Vector Control Districts headquarters in Garden Grove. They complained of the pesticides to be dropped over the county.

Kim said that the purpose of that budget is to make repairs and address hazardous conditions on campus, like the loading dock. “They operated under their purview and responsibilities on campus,” said Kim. It is common knowledge that smokers used to spend time behind the Humanities building, even after the smoking ban went into effect in August 2013. The lack of citations or other means of enforcement led students to congregate and smoke in the area. “Smokers in that specific location accentuated the situation and made it more apparent that that particular area needed to be sectioned off for use by Facilities,” van der Pol said. “I hope they will go off campus, since smoking on campus is not allowed.” Kim said that he sees the barring of smokers as secondary. He said the wall was a part of the overall plan to upgrade the appearance in that area, and included in that plan is the dirt plot behind Aloha Java, which the administration is looking to overhaul.

Danny Hon, Pizza Press franchise owner, brings his restaurant to Fullerton after years of watching the city grow. He plans to organize events showcasing different beers from local breweries.

Pizza: Craft beer sets franchise apart CONTINUED FROM

While the concept of “buildyour-own-pizza” has been used by several other restaurants, Hon said that what sets the Pizza Press apart is its focus on its craft beer selection. The Pizza Press features 20 taps, 18 of which are dedicated to a rotating craft beer selection, with the other two dispensing Stumptown cold brew coffee and root beer. Darien Hernandez, general manager of the Fullerton location, believes the strength of the Pizza Press lays in its customer service. “We do offer a really good product, but it’s our customer

service that takes us beyond that,” Hernandez said. Hernandez, who has worked for Maleki since the opening of the first location, puts an emphasis on customer service and creating a rapport with restaurant regulars. Tina Pham, a recently-hired employee and freshman at CSUF, recounted her initial impressions of the restaurant, citing its unique aesthetic and atmosphere. “I just really like the decor,” Pham said. “It’s very sleek and there’s an old-timey feeling to it that’s really nice when you just sit down at the booths and you eat with your friends.” Playing into its “news” themes, the Pizza Press’

menu includes items such as the Times, a variation on barbeque chicken pizza and the Chronicle, a vegetarian pizza finished with fresh basil and pesto sauce. Hon plans to host events such as the Tap Takeover, where 10 to 15 of the taps are dedicated to beers from local breweries. Special brews will be featured, as well as giveaway events. The Pizza Press’ grand opening takes place Saturday, Sept. 12. The restaurant will host the Great Pizza Giveaway, where customers can use their email addresses to sign up online for free pizza, served from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Yi, 24, recently graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a bachelor’s degree in music with an emphasis in voice. She re-enrolled at CSUF to pursue a teaching credential in music education and Korean. Yi originally planned to take prerequisite courses through the University Extended Education program with an undeclared major. But Christopher Peterson, music professor, advised her about the teaching credential program. Yi missed the deadline for the program, but Peterson connected Yi with another postgraduate student in the same position as her. “I contacted the student and she was kind enough to talk to me on the phone, gave me directions and guided me through each step,” Yi said. Three days before this semester started, Yi said she received encouraging news from Jessica Wagoner, director of admissions. “I (got) an email saying that (Wagoner) approved my enrollment.” Yi is originally from Korea and said that after she moved to the U.S., a teacher at the Orange County School of the Arts inspired her career.

Korean immigrant, Eunbyul Yi, wants to inspire children through music. She hopes to bring joy to students in the classroom

“I want to do that to other people,” Yi said. “I want to do what she did because that’s such a loving thing (to do).” But it was her father that pushed her to study and work hard as a child. “I remember him being so happy when I told him I got an A,” Yi said. “I’m just going to study…I have to do this for my dad…he is making all these sacrifices; this is the least I can do.” One of her father’s sacrifices involved traveling from the U.S. to Korea for months at a time, Yi said. “Every night before he had to go to Korea, I would cry all night,” Yi said. “I was a daddy’s girl and it was so hard for me. One night I asked him, ‘Daddy are you going to miss me?’ And I saw tears form in his eyes.”

Her family has supported her career and Jessica Paik, 24, Yi’s friend from OCSA, said Yi will be an excellent teacher. “(She) has a talent of being emotionally perceptive (and) understanding from a younger person’s point of view,” Paik said. “She has that ability to see where they’re coming from.” Yi said children nowadays are bombarded with too many expectations that do not allow them to have fun. She hopes teaching music to children will help make their lives a little more fun. Joshua Kim, Yi’s boyfriend, hopes that she will inspire others. “I hope that many other students (will) be encouraged by her life and what she is pursuing through her passion for God, music and children,” Kim said.

Turmoil inspires poetry book LIZETH LUEVANO Daily Titan To many, a poem filled with allusions, metaphors and symbolism seems incomprehensible and daunting. Cal State Fullerton alumnus Raul Alvarez, however, has found success in writing poetry. Alvarez, who graduated from CSUF in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in English, released his first poetry book, “There Was So Much Beautiful Left,” in July. Alvarez was influenced by a modern British and American poetry class that he took with Erin Hollis, Ph.D. associate professor of English, comparative literature and linguistics. “I really took to that kind of writing and it kick-started my interest in poetry,” Alvarez said. One poem that had a

huge affect on Alvarez was “The Waste Land” by T.S. Eliot, he said. A poem that Alvarez described as being expansive and complicated encouraged him to learn more about contemporary poets like Dorothea Lasky and CAConrad. “Their work was really influential and helped me find my own voice as a writer,” he said. Although Alvarez discovered his passion for poetry in college, his love for language and literature began early in his childhood and was largely a result of his relationship with his mother. “My mom is a brilliant woman … she invested a lot of time when me and my brother were kids by reading to us and introducing us to literature,” he said. When Alvarez was between 6 and 10 years old, his mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Alvarez said the diagnosis drastically affected his family’s life. Shortly after his parents divorced, Alvarez spent the

weekends with his mother. The weekends became an interesting time because

the book deals with other themes such as religion, losing one’s faith, politics

“

Having a parent (who) was profoundly sick, but still doing her best and trying to be a good mom for me and my brother really affected me ... those issues have found their way into my work, and I think those issues are huge themes in my book.

“

CSUF alumnus finds success in writing about life struggles

RAUL ALVAREZ Author of “There Was So Much Beautiful Left” and CSUF alumnus he experienced what it was like to grow up as a child of a sick parent, he said. “Having a parent (who) was profoundly sick but still doing her best and trying to be a good mom for me and my brother really affected me … those issues have found their way into my work, and I think those issues are huge themes in my book,” Alvarez said. While the issues Alvarez faced in his childhood are represented in the first section of his book, the rest of

and his experiences as a Latin American, he said. One of Alvarez’s favorite pieces in his book actually wasn’t a poem, but rather an essay titled “Make Me a Hootowl, Sweetheart,” which he wrote in response to the death of Kelly Thomas, a schizophrenic homeless man who died days after a confrontation with Fullerton police officers. Alvarez was living in Chicago when he heard the news.

“When I started reading the article I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s Kelly, I know who he is,’” he said. When Alvarez was younger, his mother would stop and give Thomas food from a local McDonald’s, he said. Alvarez began writing by trying to write poetry to his reaction to Thomas’ death and the interactions between Thomas and his mother, he said. “None of the poems felt like they were working,” he said. After trial and error, Alvarez decided to do a free-writing exercise where he wrote down any thoughts that came to mind. He took the things he wrote in that exercise and formed an essay from that material. “The essay kind of became a synthesis of prose writing, but with a poetic sensibility to it,” Alvarez said. “I hope it’s a loving portrayal of Kelly.” Alvarez’s advice to aspiring writers is to “keep at it.”

“Your personality is really going to dictate the way that you approach writing,” he said. While some people are able to stick to a strict writing schedule and commit to writing every day, others cannot because of time restrictions or work schedules. For the latter, Alvarez suggests to use writing as a form of expression whenever possible. “Your writing is only going to be as strong as the truth that you can bring to it. Keep putting yourself out there and take risks … always engage with the world,” he said. Hollis, whom Alvarez considers a mentor, fondly remembers having him as a student. “He was the kind of student who’s engaged and cares about his education in a way that matters,” Hollis said. “Sometimes people are just getting a degree to get a degree; he wasn’t like that. He really appreciated his education. That’s the kind of student I value the most.”

Club showcases unique beers to students VIVIAN PHAM Daily Titan In a tucked-away brewery, with a glass of chilled beer in one hand, Roland Pacheco sits in a circle listening to students introduce themselves. This is the Craft Beer Advocacy and Home Brew Club’s (CBAHBC) first meeting of the semester. “(Craft beer) is a nice change of pace from the major beer companies that already exist,” Pacheco said. Pacheco, a geography graduate student at Cal State Fullerton, has been club president since spring 2015. CBAHBC was founded in fall 2012 by Brennan Wallace, the club’s previous faculty advisor, and Skyler Irish, graduate assistant at CSUF. Although Wallace helped promote the club, it was Irish’s idea to form it. “He’s brewed his own beer for a while now, but he’s into the education aspect of it as well and the different varieties of beer,” said Pacheco. “He’s knowledgable with the history of it and the background of the ingredients.” The club meets biweekly, primarily in northern

Orange County craft breweries. They frequent breweries such as Bootlegger’s in Fullerton, the Bruery in Placentia and Noble Ale Works in Anaheim. Pacheco said that a schedule with the club’s meeting dates will be post-

About 90 to 100 people signed up for the club during Discoverfest. Pacheco said that on average, at least 10 people will show up to a meeting. “It looks like the club might become larger than it has in recent years but we’ve never had a problem where there has been too many people,” said Pacheco. Aside from savoring the many flavors of craft beer at breweries, members might be able to see how the beer is made. “In the past, there’s

been one or two breweries who’ve given us tours and in the future, I’d like to try to get another brewery tour,” Pacheco said. The club’s two current officers, Pacheco and history major Ricardo Ortiz, chose geography professor Peggy Smith as the club’s new faculty adviser this semester. Pacheco and Ortiz figured Smith would be a great new adviser because of her background with craft beer.

“I’ve been interested in craft beers for several years…my husband brews craft beers and taught me the uniqueness of the beer depends on what types of yeasts, grains and hops, and then what the beer is aged in—such as whiskey or wine barrels,” Smith said via email. “The fun comes from adding the specialty seasonings, fruits, vegetables, nuts, chocolate or cinnamon.” Jacklyn Vasquez, a political science and criminal

justice double major, recently joined the club. “I thought it was a fun way to do something recreational, and it’s also low-commitment timewise. I can learn something new; I don’t know much about craft beer, but I know I like the taste of it. I want to learn more,” Vasquez said. Under legal restrictions, students under 21 cannot drink, but Pacheco said they are still welcome to club meetings.

“We’ve had students who were younger siblings of older members who hung around the meetings and were the drivers,” Pacheco said. Even if members don’t come to drink, an important facet of the club is that it’s another way to meet new people and socialize in a casual setting. “We won’t strictly talk about beer. It’s a nice way for students to be able to talk about anything, really,” Pacheco said.

A Biden campaign is sure to come Despite no official announcement, signs point to Biden running DAVID LEOS Daily Titan When Joe Biden marched arm in arm with thousands of union employees on Monday at a Pittsburgh Labor Day parade, the crowd chanted, “Run, Joe, run!” All this publicity for a candidate who is still not sure if he’s going to run for president. Unlike GOP candidates Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Donald Trump, who are recognized as operating heavily “outside the beltway,” the current vice president is a world-class politician who knows how to use his rhetoric and the current political climate to gain a political advantage— which means he can manipulate the media and the public to achieve his objectives. His widely publicized head-scratching routine surrounding his upcoming candidacy for the 2016 presidential election seems dicey at best. Hillary Clinton’s widely publicized foul-ups, like her email scandal, continue to weaken her appeal. Coupled with the apprehension moderate liberals may have for aligning themselves with a devout “democratic socialist” like Bernie Sanders, Biden has an untapped market of perplexed liberal voters to target. Biden commands the loyalty of the current commander-in-chief, appeals to moderate liberals and has been hailed by corporate big dogs like News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch and Wall Street billionaire

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

In the heat of the 2016 presidential race, Vice President Joe Biden has expressed interest in a possible candidacy for the Democratic nomination. Biden has not yet made a decision whether to run or not, but increasing support for the vice president show that he will clearly be throwing his hat into the ring.

Jim Chanos for having a great chance of beating Clinton in the primary election. An added bonus is that Biden fits snuggly within a political safe-haven, as the Democratic front-runner Clinton will not publicly challenge her co-worker

and force President Obama to defend the current VP in public. The stage is clearly set for Biden, but why he won’t throw his hat in the ring yet leaves voters wondering. “The most relevant factor in my decision is whether my family and I have the

emotional energy to run,” he said to a packed crowd in Atlanta on Sept. 3–understandable in light of the tragic death of his son Beau Biden, who lost his battle to brain cancer in May. Biden’s team has set a respective deadline from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1 for the

72-year-old to make a decision regarding his campaign, according to U.S. News & World Report. But he’s clearly running and won’t admit to it. It’s not very presidential to leave a solution-minded public in the dark about your intentions.

Historically, Democrats are nothing if not predictable, even when they are trying not to be. This tactic of Biden’s is another example of the subtle duplicity American voters are just tired of bearing witness to, this reporter included.

Pope’s annulment reform a sign of progress Revision to annulments for Catholics is part of a vital advancement MICAH AUGIMERI-LEE Daily Titan Pope Francis has made another stride to take the Catholic Church out of its antiquity and hurdle it into the 21st century as he declares new procedural standards for Catholic couples wishing to get an annulment. For years, tens of thousands of Catholics across the world have had to pay large amounts of money and go through the agony of their church judging whether or not they are to be deemed adulterers in the eye of their Lord. This is the same church that swept hundreds of cases of child molestation, committed by clergymen throughout the years, under the rug and relocated

the pedophiles to different churches instead of having them turned over to authorities. At what point can it be decided that enough is enough and that we will no longer accept moral judgements on sexuality, dished out by corrupt holy men adorned in gold robes? As the centuries have passed, Christianity and all of its denominations have had to shift their interpretations of scripture so that they don’t fade away and become obsolete. The Pope is doing just this by changing the canon law of annulment. Far too many marriages end up in divorce, and reasonable people–the Pope included–have acknowledged this as a fact and deemed it an unavoidable problem in human relations. In today’s complicated world, the concepts of monogamy and fidelity have become precarious. Societal changes will

occur, and if certain people refuse to adapt, then they will quickly become irrelevant. One should question the integrity of the Divine law laid out by the church over the years. A perfect law should not undergo any change unless it was flawed at its inception. Pope Francis has been quite the renegade of his time as Vicar of Christ. He deserves some amount of praise from religious critics for creating an expanded dialogue on certain issues he has addressed and expressed unorthodox views on. For example, he has been very vocal about his concern for the environment and his desire for humankind to abandon fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy. He also has recently spoken on abortion and decreed that during his Year of Mercy, which will begin Dec 8, all priests will be given

Thanks to Pope Francis, married Catholic couples can now get annulments through a much easier and less expensive process. This is one of several changes that will bring progress to the Catholic Church.

permission to forgive the sin of abortion. Although Pope Francis certainly cannot be labeled a liberal, he is

most definitely a catalyst for change within the church in an ever-changing world. He is, in many ways,

breaking the mold of the papacy and pushing religious folks to do something that they have tried to denounce for centuries: evolve.

Men’s soccer can extend win streak

Titans have chance of improving winning streak to four games HAYLEY M. SLYE Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer team will look to earn its third consecutive victory when it takes on the University of San Francisco. Both the Titans and the Dons are coming off of a two-game winning streak after Fullerton defeated Santa Clara University and George Washington University over the weekend. With many of the team’s veteran players having left last offseason, the small streak could signify that the younger Titans have begun to hit their stride. The Dons have seven goals

on the season to the Titans’ six. Aside from that, the teams are evenly matched, boasting the same 2-2 record as they look to spark a longterm season run. Fullerton freshman forward Brandon West scored his first goal over the weekend, leading his team to a pair of victories and earning Big West Offensive Player of the Week as a result. The Swedish-born attacker also leads the team in shots (8) and shots on goal (4). Also scoring his first goal of the season, junior midfielder Ruben Alvarez delivered a strong performance in the Titans’ last game. Freshman midfielder Ross McPhie is another player to watch going into this weekend’s matchup against the Dons. The New Zealander is among the team’s leaders in shots (3) and he is looking

for his first back-to-back games with a goal. The young Titans are managing to hit an early stride. They have begun to come together, connecting on more passes and finishing more plays. The Fullerton offense has been exceptionally effective, scoring more goals in the past two games than they have the entire the season. They will look to continue the trend Sunday against SFU, who have allowed eight goals in their last four games of the season. The Dons will be tested by an unpredictable Titan offense that is still trying to find a steady game plan. The plethora of underclassmen filling the empty roster spots still has to adjust to the new system, but they have done well in recent games, stringing together a

couple of wins. CSUF has shown flashes of effective team play and individual skill, creating a threatening offense. The Titans have an interesting game on deck against University of San Francisco Sunday at 2 p.m. at Titan Stadium.

Christina Burkenroad and company have worked hard to keep their unblemished record, however Cal State Fullerton will need to play at its best if it wants to extend its streak over the weekend.

Women’s soccer faces challenging weekend Titans capable of staying perfect through road trip CONNIE LEE Daily Titan

the 108th minute. CSUF holds their best record in over two decades and this weekend seems to feature the Titans’ most challenging games yet. Wilson claimed the Big West Player of the Week earlier in the season. The senior forward has seven goals, three assists and 21 shots in six games. Wilson’s partner up top, Burkenroad, has also served the Titans well. She has earned a total of 21 shots throughout the season, scoring five goals and recording two assists in six games, including two game-winning goals. The Titans wouldn’t be anywhere, though, without the help of their goalkeepers. Jennifer Stuart has started all five games in which she has played, making 21 saves and recording a shutout. Sophomore goalie Morgan Bertsch has played three games, started once and earned five saves and a shutout of her own. The team has produced quality chances and demonstrated impeccable defense throughout the season. They have the ability to extend their streak to eight wins this weekend. The Titans square off against Gonzaga University on Friday at 2:30 p.m. at Luger Field. They then face Washington State in Lower Soccer Field Sunday at noon.

In hopes of maintaining a perfect record, the Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team is looking ahead to its weekend matchups against Gonzaga University and Washington State. Last time the Titans were pitted against the Gonzaga Bulldogs was in 2013, when they came out with a 2-1 win. They were able to keep the Bulldogs out for the entire first half in that game. Although the Bulldogs were able to get on the score sheet in the 71st minute, tying the game at 1-1, CSUF scored again in the 74th to secure the win. CSUF dominated the game with 14 shots to Gonzaga’s 7. Fullerton performed even better in the second half. This time around it’s a tale of two records. CSUF stands tall at 6-0-0, while Gonzaga are riding a shaky season at 1-2-2. The Washington State Cougars and the Titans held their last meeting two seasons ago. Going into that game, Washington State had an unbeaten 6-0-2 record, while Fullerton was at a respectable 3-3-2. The Cougars shut

out CSUF with a 1-0 win in that encounter. Washington scored the only goal of the game in the 32nd minute. Not much separated the two teams; however, Fullerton played a sloppy game, out-fouling the opposition 15-6. The Titans are looking to challenge the Cougars much more effectively this time around, now that both teams are undefeated. Not much has changed this year for the formidable Cougars, who sit with four wins thus far. However, CSUF has made substantial improvements since the last time the teams met. The last few games have gone in the Titans’ favor. Their 1-0 win against UNLV increased their shutout record to two in the season. Against the Rebels, CSUF ruled the field with 17 total shots to UNLV’s 10, but they only managed to score in the 81st minute with a winning goal from Rebecca Wilson. The game against Florida Gulf State University ended in dramatic fashion, resulting in a 4-3 Titan overtime win. The Titans scored three goals in the first half but got too comfortable in the second half, allowing FGCU to tie the game at 3-3. Despite the blown lead, the Titans showed their resilience as they stole the win with a penalty goal by Christina Burkenroad in
