Multiple cases of Chickenpox diagnosed

SARAH WOLSTONCROFT Daily Titan Two cases of Varicella, commonly known as chickenpox, were reported to the Student Health Center last week, according to a series of emails sent out to the Cal State Fullerton community from CSUF Housing.

The first case was reported on Sept. 26 and involved a student living in the residence halls, according to the emails. The student may have exposed other students, faculty and staff to the virus from Sept. 23 through Sept.

26, specifically in the Gastronome and residence hall areas.

The student will remain off campus until they are no longer contagious.

The second case was reported on Sept. 27 and involved a student living off campus, according to the emails. The student may have exposed other students, faculty and staff when they attended a “Meet the Firms” event on campus on Sept. 22.

Chickenpox is an airborne disease that is spread through coughing or sneezing and by coming into contact with the virus particles from the blister-like rash that forms, according to the email sent out to students. It can cause itching, tiredness and fever.

“It’s centripetal, meaning that’s how it spreads,” said Dr. Richard Boucher, chief staff physician for the Student Health Center. “If you were to take the body, spin the body around, and the center part was the chest, then the rash spreads out as you spin.

It goes chest, neck, face, the abdomen, down the back, and then arms and legs.”

Most people infected with the virus will remain contagious for about a week, Boucher said.

“You become contagious once you get infected,” Boucher said. “The difficulty with this is you can already be infected but not have the rash yet. You can spread the virus 48 hours before the rash appears and until all the spots have crusted over. Once they’re all crusted over, you’re no longer contagious.”

The CDC recommends two doses of the Varicella vaccine to prevent contracting the virus. For children, the CDC recommends getting the first dose between 12 to 15 months of age and the second dose at four to six years of age. For adults, they recommend getting two doses at least 28 days apart.

Women’s soccer undefeated in conference play HARRISON FAIGEN Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer opened Big West Conference play with a 2-1 victory over UC Riverside after going four games without a goal.

The Titans kept rolling through the weekend, notching a 3-0 win over Cal Poly San Luis Obispo as Maribell Morales stole the show in her first two appearances in the starting lineup.

Playing to scoreless draw at the break against Riverside, the Titans looked poised for another scoreless night. That all changed in the 62nd minute when Tala Haddad spotted Sarah Fajnor wide open right in front of the net for her first goal of the season.

“It felt so good,” Fajnor said.“That drought was all in the back of our minds, but we knew that we were going to break it, eventually.”

An officer-involved shooting that occurred in South Los Angeles Saturday led to the death of an alleged teenager, according to ABC7.

The suspect was in a car that officers suspected was stolen, and when he failed to stop at a traffic stop near Western Avenue and 106th Street, the police began to pursue.

Officers began chasing the suspect on foot after the male passenger exited the vehicle near the area of the traffic stop. The shooting occurred after the chase led the officers into the backyard of a home near the 1700 block of 107th Street.

Carnell Sell, Jr. was identified as a 17 or 18-year-old by his family, but the deceased suspect has not been officially identified by authorities.

Protests gathered around the scene Saturday night following the incident.

According to Dr. Richard Boucher, chickenpox spreads in a centripetal motion. It begins in a person’s chest, moves to their neck and face, then to their abdomen, then their back, and finally their limbs.

Virus: Two students infected at CSUF CONTINUED FROM

Each year, more than 3.5 million cases of Varicella, 9,000 hospitalizations and 100 deaths are prevented by the Varicella vaccination in the United States, according to the CDC. “We’ve pretty much covered the bases on young people getting vaccinated early on, but that doesn’t mean that everybody is,” said Paula Selleck, a Strategic Communications CSUF University spokesperson.

The Varicella vaccine is recommended but not required on the list of vaccines new students are required to provide proof of to the CSU they are attending, according to the Shots for School website.

Boucher recommends isolating infected individuals but said that roommates and family members of the individual who have immunity are able to continue attending school and work.

“If you’ve been vaccinated against it or you’ve had it before, you’re safe,” Boucher said.

This notion brings relief to students who received their vaccinations as a child.

“I’m not very scared because I’ve been vaccinated for everything so I’m not at risk for chickenpox,” said

Grace Poat, second-year communications major who lives in the residence halls, “I am nervous for people who haven’t been vaccinated because they’re at risk.”

However, other students living in the residence halls who can’t recall if they have received both doses of the vaccine or question the effectiveness of the shot holding up over many years are concerned they may have been exposed and are susceptible to becoming infected.

“Honestly, it’s a very scary thing having never had it before,” said Jordan Lim, fourth-year electrical engineering major and resident advisor for housing.

“Should I just stay in my room all day? Or do I go out? This is the only place I eat, here in the Gastronome. It’s tough. It’s kind of a scary thing.”

Boucher said students looking to relieve their mental anguish can get Varicella titers drawn through a blood test at the Student Health Center to determine whether they have resistance to the viral infection. The test is then sent to Quest Labs to determine results.

If results show that the student has resistance to the virus, this means that earlier doses of the vaccine they received are still effective or they have

already had chickenpox at some point in their life and are considered immune, Boucher said.

“For the most part, I haven’t heard of any that have weaned in their immunity having received a chickenpox vaccine,” Boucher said.

The vaccine itself, however, is not available at the Student Health Center, Boucher said.

“We don’t offer it here because (the vaccine) takes a special way to store it in the freezer, and we don’t have that capacity in our pharmacy,” Boucher said.

However, students that contract the chickenpox virus can be treated with the antiviral medication Acyclovir at the Student Health Center and should seek medication as soon as the rash appears, Boucher said.

While Boucher describes the virus as a “fairly benign disease,” he still warns that in extremely rare cases, chickenpox can cause Encephalitis, inflammation of the brain and Pneumonitis, inflammation of the lung, as well as secondary bacterial infections on the lesions themselves.

“It’s the adults that can get sicker- that can have more problems,” Boucher said.

“For the most part, nothing happens, but we shouldn’t take it lightly because it can be very serious.”

Santa Ana resident Pheach Phath, 66, died Sunday morning in a one-car collision after crashing into a brick wall on the corner of East Edinger Avenue and Cedar Street, according to the OC Register.

Police were called about the crash just before 6 a.m. Sunday, after which paramedics brought Phath to the Orange County Global Medical Center. Where he was pronounced dead.

Cmdr. Jeffrey Smith of the Santa Ana Police Department said no other car was involved in the crash, but alcohol was suspected as a factor leading to it.

Members from the UCLA Near East Music Ensemble then performed Syrian music that had the guests clapping and singing along.

One of the gallery’s sponsors, the Arab American Civic Council, attended the reception.

Rashad Al-Dabbagh, executive director of the Arab American Civic Council, said it was the first time it officially sponsored this event, but it has supported them in the past.

Al-Dabbagh said the reason they wanted to participate was because part of their mission aligns with the exhibition.

“Part of our mission is cultural preservation and this exhibition highlights the rich culture and history of Syria,” Al-Dabbagh said. “We wanted to support this kind of event to bring more awareness about the situation in Syria, and about the culture and history in Syria.”

Guests were welcomed

by Alkhouli to view the exhibition.

Khani said she began the “A Country Called Syria” exhibition about a year after the revolution started in Syria.

“We wanted to find a platform that would educate the public on the history and culture of Syria, considering what’s going on,” Alkhouli said. “We wanted to shed light to it in a non-political way, so that people could connect to the country and its roots.”

The majority of pieces in the exhibition were donated from Khani’s parents.

“A Country Called Syria” has approximately over 500 pieces now, but for this exhibition Alkhouli said. She believes there are 120 pieces.

“I have a (poetry) piece

from my blog on my recent trip to Syria inside the exhibition and it talks about the displaced children of Syria,” Alkhouli said.

Trish Campbell, exhibit coordinator for the Pollak Library, said she had “A Country Called Syria” brought

to her attention when she went to the reception of the smaller version of the exhibition about two years ago at Chapman in the Leatherby Libraries.

Campbell is also the chair of the Exhibit Committee, which reviews proposals

for exhibitions. She said the committee liked “A Country Called Syria” because it had a balance of art, culture, music, textiles, furniture and historic landmarks.

“You get lots of pieces of Syria in this exhibit and that was part of the beauty of it

when we were reviewing their proposal,” Campbell said.

“A Country Called Syria” exhibition has come a long way in these past four years, Alkhouli said.

“We’re like a mother-daughter team that just

gathered volunteers and little artifacts, and we’re like ‘hey, let’s do this,’” Alkhouli said. “Suddenly it’s become something so formal and now we’ve been recognized as a nonprofit organization, so it’s definitely something that we’re proud of.”

SSI distributes funds Student fees have been allocated to cater academic needs AMY WELLS Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Student Success Initiative (SSI) held its first fee advisory committee meeting of the fall semester Friday, to report on its achievements and goals for the academic year.

The program, which began in 2014, is using the Student Success Fee to update and improve campus quality for all students, according to its website.

The committee is mainly comprised of students and chaired by ASI President Yanitza Berrios.

“The Student Success Initiative has really infused resources into the places where the students most wanted them and needed them,” said Berenecea Johnson Eanes, vice president for Student Affairs.

The $362 fee included in tuition is used to fund many resources for students such as extended library hours, updated classroom technology and improved WiFi across campus. The fees can be seen at work on both

the Fullerton and Irvine campuses.

SSI funds given to athletic support will be able to provide 89 full-time scholarships, which will be divided to help over 150 student athletes. Previous funds to the athletic department financed lights on the east and west practice fields. This year athletic facilities will be hiring their own maintenance mechanic to renovate and improve the campus.

Access Upgraded Technology used its funds to add 30 new outdoor WiFi access points throughout campus to improve connectivity for students.

Sixty-five laptops have been added to the Student Loaner Laptop Program as well.

SSI fees fund the Veterans Ambassador Program under the Veteran Resource Center, which trains other students to be mentors for students at community colleges to help with the transition from military life to academic life at CSUF. The center also provides a Veteran Scholar Career Readiness program that partners with the Career Center to help students with life after graduation.

The WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center funds

Violence Prevention Programs that provide an educator and victim’s advocate to educate students on the resources. The school and community provide for intimate partner violence, domestic violence and sexual assault.

“Those funds have really helped keep our Titans safe and also provide support if they do experience any type of intimate partner violence,” said Alisa Flowers, director of the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center.

The center also hosts a family back-to-school night for student parents, which provides activities and tours of the campus. The center focuses on helping these students and those that are returning to campus after a prolonged break.

“Their routine looks different, their needs look different than our traditional student, so we want to make sure that we give them the resources that they need to be retained on campus,” Flowers said.

Going into its third year, Eanes said she has seen SSI grow and develop during her time at CSUF. “It’s been pretty profound to see the progress. It is exciting to see the change and to see these things coming to life,” Eanes said.

Art courses and events for adult learners

PRISCILLA BUI Daily Titan Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) gives retirement a whole new meaning for many older members.

OLLI primarily serves as an enriching learning environment for retired and semi-retired adults at the Ruby Gerontology Center (RGC). Unlike regular courses, the classes offered here require no educational prerequisites, exams or grades. They are dedicated to offering an atmosphere that enforces the exploration of new and lifelong interests and the social connection amongst its members.

Known before as the Continuing Learning Experience (CLE), the institution began in 1979 with Leo Shapiro as its first president.

The south end of the RGC is named the Shapiro Wing because he is considered OLLI’s founding father for his efforts and contributions in raising funds for RGC. OLLI operates similarly to a senior citizens center with a more academic focus because it draws a lot of resources from CSUF. OLLI’s goal is to provide learning opportunities in a variety of subjects to enhance the community of retired and semi-retired adults by collaborating with the university.

For retired members who have either lost their spouses or don’t have children close by, OLLI has become the perfect social outlet for most.

“For a lot of our people… it replaces their work,” said Elizabeth Redmon, a member of OLLI who currently serves on the grants committee. “This has kind of become a replacement for that social family time.”

Redmon said that it was healthier for all of the OLLI members to interact with other people, be constantly active and engage

Bill Large performed at OLLI Follies last Thursday, an event designed to showcase the skills and talents of OLLI members. The event, along with the classes offered by the Ruby Gerontology Center (RGC), allows retired and semi-retired individuals the chance to explore artistic expressions within an encouraging educational enviornment.

in activities they normally wouldn’t do.

In celebration of the institution’s 35th anniversary in 2014, members of OLLI put on activities that differed from the usual art courses, including their very first flash mob that was performed on CSUF’s campus.

The institution’s art program comprises fine arts and crafts, art appreciation, literary arts and performing arts. Emma Cox, a volunteer instructor for the introduction to watercolor painting courses, learned to paint at OLLI after she retired, which inspired her to take other classes and share her knowledge

through teaching.

In addition to being able to share her skills with others, Cox said that she also enjoys watching others learn the craft. Although most of the members initially said they couldn’t draw anything, they ended up drawing things like horses and people and were amazed that they could do that, Cox said.

“What’s amazing about this is the quality of work that people are doing,” Cox said. “It’s been really amazing how people’s skills have developed.”

Watercolor painting is just one example of members trying activities for the first time in their lives.

For performing arts, members can learn how to play instruments, participate in line dancing or tap dancing and engage in fun events such as OLLI Chorale, where everyone is invited to sing and join one another in the camaraderie of music.

Fritz von Coelln, a program organizer for OLLI Follies, said that because these adults are retired, they have a substantial amount of time to be involved in the arts or activities they normally didn’t have time for in the past.

“When we were working, we didn’t have time, so much, for art,” von Coelln said. “Some people are doing things that they had

never done before. I mean, I played Romeo once, and I had never done that in my life.”

OLLI Follies, which is designed to showcase the talented members of OLLI, was a program that began as an open mic session before it evolved into the event it is today. The first OLLI Follies event for the year occurred on Sept. 29.

OLLI Follies concluded with Esther Fieldhouse and Luby Hausmann leading the audience in a fun singalong with a series of short songs.

Redmon said that she didn’t play the piano for 50 years until she became involved with OLLI.

“I now have a reason to practice because I’ve got a place to play,” Redmon said.

OLLI is a self-supporting institution with a low membership fee rate and a large volunteer base. It’s a learning environment that has the remarkable ability to inspire some creativity in members, which they never knew existed in them before. Some of the works produced by OLLI members, whether it’s from the arts or the other offered programs, even end up being published.

“Something comes out of you that I didn’t even know I had really, and I think we all find that,” von Coelln said.

Dapper Day ‘Lindy Hops’ into CSUF

Students dress in their Sunday best to learn a few new steps SARAH WOLSTONCROFT Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton had its first Dapper Day Sunday afternoon, hosted by the ASI Productions Sunday Series as part of the ASI Productions (ASIP) week.

“I felt that it would be great to bring a Dapper Day here to CSUF just because it’s something that almost everyone can enjoy,” said Susie Law, ASI Productions Sunday Series coordinator.

“People love getting dressed up, they like having a good ol’ time and just having fun reminiscing about the old times,” Law said.

The event lasted from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and its main component featured the CSUF Swing Club teaching a 50-minute Lindy Hop swing dancing lesson.

“Lindy Hop is the original type of swing dance...It was popular between the 1930s and 1940s” said CSUF Swing Club President Linda Hammervold. “No one needs any experience to join the lesson. (They can) just come if they want.”

Nearly 60 people attended the event and over half participated in the 50-minute lesson, learning the rock step and the sweetheart position among other basic dance moves.

“I enjoy swing dancing a lot. I learned it a long time

ago, so it was nice to relearn it.” said Rachel Wilson, junior anthropology major.

“I enjoy the style, I enjoy the time period, I enjoy the music, so I was really looking forward to experiencing something like that.”

There were also activities around the edge of the room including a bow tie making station, a backdrop for polaroid pictures to commemorate the day, a giant game of Jenga and a chalkboard prompting students to leave their mark at the event.

Doug Do, a senior business economic major, said he looked forward to visiting the bow tie making station, which included white, black and navy blue bow ties that participants could decorate with various colored paints.

“I like collecting bow ties and making sure I get one of every color,” Do said.

Do also took part in the giant jenga game, where players solely used their feet to kick the blocks away from the stack while waiting for the swing dancing lesson to begin.

“Dapper Day seems like a social event that can help me improve my social skills, talking to other people, getting out of my shell, develop networking skills and have fun at the same time,” Do said.

Attendees also took part in a raffle for prizes that included a cookie box, a Ferrero Rocher candy box and a grand prize gift basket that featured retro cookie tins, old-fashioned chips

“It seems like a lot of people that came in here are having fun– they’re enjoying themselves. I know a couple of people that just made new friends on the dance floor, so I’m really happy,” Law said. “I hope that people that

came here had fun, that’s what I want.”

ASI Productions week lasts until this Thursday.

“ASIP week is a weeklong series of events to showcase what every coordinator has to offer to the campus,” said Brandon

Villa, ASI Pub Thursday coordinator.

Throughout the week, ASIP will host karaoke, an open mic, a Venice Beach inspired art and culture event, a concert, showings of “Finding Dory” and Orangefest, which includes a

survey for students to vote on potential genres to be featured in CSUF’s Spring Concert.

“Come out to the next ASIP event,” Law said. “They’re all going to be really great, and I think the students will enjoy all of them.”

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

The radical feminist stereotype is perpetuated by the “Feminism is Cancer” movement. The idea that feminism is only coming from a man-hating mentality not only is ignorant, the title itself further qualifies its bigoted ideals.

‘Feminism is Cancer’ promotes hate The anti-feminist group criticizes stereotypes not the truth ILANA LAGRAFF Daily Titan A recent movement called “Feminism is Cancer” has unfortunately gained some popularity among mostly young, white people. They claim that thirdwave feminism, a.k.a. radical or modern feminism, is “cancerous” because it doesn’t “consider men’s rights.” While they try to address societal concerns, they’re bickering devolves into childish and ignorant whining.

The movement was created for privileged white men who don’t like their power being challenged. The

entire platform of the movement is backed by people who have no idea how hypocritical it is. The movement not only is based off of a stereotype, but the name is almost as bigoted and ignorant as the people advocating it. “Feminism is Cancer” horribly uses cancer as a joke to illustrate its concern of feminism.

The movement’s name was coined by self-proclaimed alt-right “meninist” and critic of feminism Milo Yiannopoulos. You might recall the name as he was permanently banned from Twitter on July 19 due to his hate-speech inducing tweets and for a poll he posted asking if people would rather their child have cancer or be a feminist.

Supporters of this movement are quick to clarify that the more moderate first

and second waves of feminism are not under attack here, rather they’re targeting the radical feminism of the modern third wave.

Advocates of the “Feminism is Cancer” movement view radical feminists as sensitive, masculine-looking women. However, their main issue with them by far is that they are apparently man-hating.

“A lot of feminists don’t consider men’s rights because they see men as lesser or think all men are bad or all men are oppressors and we (women) are oppressed,” said 18-year-old student and “Feminism is Cancer” advocate Myah Bowermaster to International Business Times.

It is true that some radical feminists have openly stated their contempt for men.

Valerie Solanas, famous for

being an outspoken radical feminist who also attempted to murder Andy Warhol, wrote a book called “SCUM Manifesto.” In the book, Solanas writes, “To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he’s a machine, a walking dildo.”

While people like Solanas unfortunately have these opinions in the feminist circle, they are not the majority—not even close.

“I don’t know that there’s ever been a large faction of feminists that has ever thought men were the problem,” said Jodi Davis-Pacheco, Ph.D., full-time lecturer in the Women and Gender Studies Program and Queer Studies Minor at Cal State Fullerton.

Activists of the “Feminism is Cancer” movement are not only wrong about feminists in general, but are

completely misinterpreting what feminism is about.

Feminism is “a movement and a way of thinking that focuses on social, political and economic transformation. It seeks to dismantle systemic racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia and any other system of power that makes life unlivable and unsafe for those on the margins,” Davis-Pacheco said.

Because most of the advocates benefit from white and economic privilege, they completely dismiss the fact that women still face many issues because of their gender. They then claim to support men’s rights, but if they truly want to be advocates for men’s rights, why aren’t they standing up for trans men, men of color or male abuse victims?

“Feminism is Cancer”

does touch on one important topic: pressure for men to appear masculine and the fact that men are not taught how to express their feelings properly because sensitivity is discouraged in today’s society. If this is all they are advocating for, then they are no better than the one-track minded radical feminists they complain about so much.

The patriarchal system does need to change. That’s not a dramatic overreaction—it’s a fact. Yet these angry, ignorant people aren’t looking at the bigger picture. They need to stop focusing on the few and start looking beyond their own privileges to see that not everyone gets to experience life the way they do.

Cyber attacks go unnoticed

Unkown attacker could take the internet down at any time RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan

“The devil is at his strongest while we’re looking the other way, like a program running in the background silently, while we’re busy doing other s--t,” said Elliot Alderson, lead character from USA series “Mr. Robot,” who strangely but accurately depicts this kingdom of bulls**t we live in today.

The internet that we so lovingly devote nearly 20 hours of our lives to each week, according to a study done by communications regulator Ofcom, may not be as safe as we think.

As we surf through the vast web, most don’t think twice about what they’re clicking. If it seems legit, then it’s all good while occasionally dodging a clickbaity ad. But the problem is not from what you can see. The real problem, the problem that could potentially take the internet down, comes from someone unseen, “like a program running the background silently.”

In the past two weeks, the internet has witnessed the largest attacks on a

website’s server in recorded history. KrebsOnSecurity, a cybercrime and internet news site and OVH, one of the largest server farms hosting nearly 200,000 sites based out of France, were both forced to shut down after a record amount of information flooded their servers 700 Gbps and 1 Tbps, respectively.

DDos, distributed denial of service, the most popular form of attack, is “basically blasting so much data at the site that it’s overwhelmed,” said Bruce Schneier, a veteran in cybersecurity information.

The scariest thing about these attacks is that someone, somewhere, is effectively figuring out how to shut down the internet, and we have no real semblance of an idea of who it is.

KrebsOnSecurity going down meant the attacker was angry that reports of leakings and various site shut downs were interfering with their hope to stay anonymous.

This spectre-like villain infiltrates the site’s network from household objects called IoTs or Internet of Things devices that people buy and use without thinking twice of the potential security risk they pose.

Brian Krebs, creator of KrebsOnSecurity,

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

explains on his site that these devices are found nearly everywhere, from routers to cameras and even digital recorders. All of these devices are exposed to the internet and have little to no protection to anyone attempting to leapfrog off of their networking.

Schneier explains that these attacks need to be understood and talked about more so people can be aware of the impending doom that these attackers can lay upon the holy internet we have come to love and worship.

The attack is used as an act of attrition, meaning the overwhelming amount of information is supposed to wear down the source so that its defenses are shown, then the attacker backs off until the perfect opportunity rises to attack again.

This is where it imitates a python, as it comes back two-fold and attacks right where it left off.

The worst part is that these types of attacks are somewhat impossible to protect yourself against. Verisign, the overlord of internet rootnames “.com,” “.net” and “.name” has been revealing some distressing findings on its annual DDos reports.

“In Q2 2016, DDoS attacks continued to become more frequent, persistent

and complex,” according to Verisign’s latest study.

The fact that the attacks are increasing in frequency points to the most common DDos strategy of breaking down defenses. If Verisign goes down, then all of those domains will go with it.

Both Schneier and Krebs along with many other cybersecurity advocates figure that the only way to solve this problem is to be aware. Finding the hacker is only a job that the National Security Agency can accomplish. This isn’t some nerd in his basement with a bunch of monitors.

“We don’t know who is doing this, but it feels like a large nation state,” Schneier said.

The overwhelming and harrowing narrative to this type of attack is that there is no solution. But it’s quite possible that the problem will be the solution and when these attacks reach their goal–completely shutting down the internet. The world will finally see that it needs to be more aware.

The worst enemy is that which you don’t know, but it’s at least somewhat comforting in believing that their goal is to bring awareness to the world.

Maybe that’s what this is about. Some cold, bitter pessimist with a knack for coding wants the world to open its eyes and stop taking in this kingdom of bulls**t we live in.

SPORTS Goals: Titans hit stride in Big West play PAGE 6 OCTOBER 3, 2016 MONDAY

CONTINUED FROM

The Titans wouldn’t have to wait another four games to get their next goal. Morales collected the ball just outside the 18-yard box off of a cross from Connie Caliz just 12 minutes later.

The junior forward didn’t hesitate, letting loose a laser straight into the right side of the net in her sixth appearance for the Titans this season.

“Maribell has a tremendous touch on the ball and great vision,” said Fullerton Head Coach Demian Brown. “I was extremely confident in starting her.”

With 10:14 seconds left, UCR Head Coach Nat Gonzalez emptied the bench, appearing to wave the white flag. His subs had other ideas, however, as Quinley Quezada was able to sneak one past Jennifer Stuart in the 86th minute.

The late score made Morales’ goal the decider rather than icing on the cake.

“I was really excited (to start), and I just wanted to be the difference in the team,” said Morales.

Morales’ wish to make a difference was granted again in the Titans’ 4-0 win over Cal Poly on Sunday.

The Iowa State transfer took the free kick to the right of the 18-yard box after Haddad was brought down on a yellow card-inducing tackle from the Mustang’s Ashley Kirchick.

Her curving cross didn’t need any help from her teammates, hitting the far post and banking into the goal in the 27th minute to give the Titans’ a 1-0 lead.

Morales wasn’t done yet.

The junior forward collected a contested pass from Fajnor just inside the box and

sent it to the same far post for her second goal of the game in the 33rd minute.

“I saw Maribell on the side, and I was just like ‘get it to Maribell! Get it to Maribell!’” Fajnor said.

The floodgates didn’t close for Fullerton in the second half. Cal Poly was whistled for a foul inside the box in the 47th minute, and Fajnor’s ensuing penalty kick slipped past goalkeeper Sophia

The Titans would make the final eight minutes academic when Ivy Diego found Nano Oronoz on the break for a fourth goal,

giving CSUF a shutout win and a two-game winning streak.

The Mustangs had opportunities to score in the second half, but it just wasn’t their day as Caitlyn

Kreutz’s missed penalty kick in the 76th minute was emblematic of their struggles on the day.

The Titans will hit the road to take on UC Davis next Thursday.

SPORTS Titans begin conference title chase PAGE 8 OCTOBER 3, 2016 MONDAY

Men’s soccer splits Big West-opening weekend at home HAYLEY M. SLYE ERIC DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer shook things up going into Big West Conference play after being shut out in two straight games prior. Leading scorer Alex Heilmann was notably absent from the starting lineups against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and UC Santa Barbara.

Despite the new look, a 2-1 win over Cal Poly Friday and a 2-1 loss over UCSB Sunday left the Titans at .500 in conference play.

Cal Poly Heilmann, who had started the previous six games for the Titans, didn’t have to wait long to get back on the field.

Coming off the bench in the 29th minute, Heilmann scored his seventh goal of the season seconds after checking into the game.

“First touch, first goal is what every sub wants,” Heilmann said. “Everything just came together right after that and that’s what helped us push through the game and get another one and get the win.”

Fullerton controlled the pace after Heilmann’s goal, maintaining possession on the way to accumulating eight first-half shots against the team it knocked out of the Big West Tournament in 2015.

Titan junior Nicolo D’Amato assisted Heilmann’s

goal before scoring one of his own in the 52nd minute to put Fullerton up 2-0.

“We were able to cut more channels than we were in the last game, and that was big for me,” said Titan Head Coach George Kuntz. “To get a 2-0 lead is tough against (Cal Poly) for any team, and their record (2-6-1) is not indicative of the type of team they are. They’re hard to break down, so I thought it was a good win for us.”

Ross McPhie nearly put the game away in the second half, pushing through two defenders before being thwarted by Big West Defensive Player of the Week Eric Kam. Cal Poly did manage to get on the board with 13 minutes left on the clock, and the game got more aggressive from there. Fullerton’s Ruben Alvarez received a yellow card as Cal Poly made a few good runs. Mustangs offensive leader Justin Dhillon was whistled on an offsides call while making a practically uncontested run that could have resulted in the tying goal.

Fullerton maintained control of the match and went on to win 2-1, creating momentum going into Saturday’s game against UCSB. UCSB The Gauchos came into Sunday’s match hungry for a win. Santa Barbara had gone 0-5-1 in its last six games, having not won since Sept. 4.

Last time the Titans and Gauchos met, Fullerton defeated Santa Barbara 1-0 to win the Big West Tournament title.

The Gauchos put

pressure on Titan goalkeeper David Elias early on, but it was an avoidable mistake that dug Fullerton into a hole.

The Titans appeared to have an easy clearance until Gaucho forward Noah Billingsley attacked a Fullerton defender one-onone. Billingsley easily stole the ball, and with no other Fullerton player back to help goalkeeper Elias, Billingsley put Santa Barbara up 1-0.

“That’s not a goal that should ever happen to our team,” Kuntz said.

With the Titans struggling to get going offensively, Heilmann came off the bench during the 25th minute. Moments later, midfielder Ross McPhie put a cross from Rei Dorwart into the net to even the match.

At the half, the Titans found themselves outshot five to three, managing only one corner kick compared to Santa Barbara’s three. After giving up the early goal, Elias made two crucial saves for the Titans.

Despite outshooting

Santa Barbara four to two throughout the second half, the Titans were unable to capitalize on their opportunities.

“I thought we did a better job in the second half of pinning their midfielders back and it created problems for them,” said Kuntz. “When you get those types of opportunities you have to make the most of them.”

With neither team able to finish plays in regulation, the Titans entered their fourth overtime game of the season. Santa

Barbara’s Kevin Feucht headed a cross near the post in the 92nd minute that bounced into the net to win the game 2-1. The result would drop the Titans to 1-3 in overtime games, and 1-1 in Big West play.

“The good news is with a mistake like that in the first half, we didn’t lose faith. We kept believing,” Kuntz said. “The critical thing is overcoming this disappointment.”

The Titans’ next three games will be on the road, starting with a matchup against Sacramento State Thursday.

CSUF can’t measure up to nationally ranked Hawaii

Fullerton outplayed as it drops to under .500 in conference BRYANT FREESE Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton (6-11) was no match for No. 13 Hawaii as it lost in straight sets Friday. The loss leaves the Titans at 1-2 in the Big West Conference.

Friday night was Hawaii’s fifth consecutive win, keeping it undefeated with a record of 3-0 in the Big West, trailing only Long Beach State at 4-0.

The Titans were off to a sluggish start, losing the first set 25-13. CSUF racked up 12 errors and finished with only two kills on a -.333 hitting percentage compared to Hawaii’s five errors and .167

hitting percentage.

Fullerton came out in the second set looking motivated to bounce back, rattling off three straight points to start the set. The three-point cushion was not enough to hold off Hawaii as it came storming back with six straight points of its own to eventually take the set 2516. The Titans inability to cut down on the unforced errors was an issue again as they tallied nine in the second.

CSUF improved its play in the third set, posting 12 kills on a .320 hitting percentage and limiting its errors to four. The improvement was not enough to overcome Hawaii’s 14 kills on an impressive .440 hitting percentage as the Rainbow Wahine took the third and final set 25-18.

Hawaii was led by senior Annie Mitchem and

freshman Kirsten Sibley with nine kills each. Nikki Taylor, the Rainbow Wahine’s leading hitter this season, put up eight kills of her own.

Sophomore transfer Shimen Fayad led the Titans with seven kills but had a lowly hitting percentage of -.034. Fellow sophomores Madeline Schneider and Kyra Smith added five kills apiece while setter Rachel Hall dished out 14 assists.

Torrey Tinney, a transfer from Mississippi State, led the Titans with 12 digs. Junior Kyra Hill came off the bench to add three kills on 13 attempts through two sets. Friday was Hill’s first time seeing game action since playing against San Jose State back on Sept.

16.

Hawaii outplayed the Titans in all facets of the game, out-hitting Fullerton

MATT ULFELDER / FOR THE DAILY TITAN

Shimen Fayad (center) dives for the ball during the Titans’ 3-0 loss to Hawaii Friday. Fayad managed seven kills for the Titans.

37-23 in total kills, resulting in a drastically better hitting percentage of .284 compared to the Titans -.022 percent.

The Titans will look to clean up their errors going forward after totalling 25 against Hawaii, who only had 12 of its own.

Fullerton prepares for a three-game homestand at Titan Gym, beginning with a game against UC Davis Saturday at 3 p.m.
