Cal State Fullerton is paving the way for student journalists with new and upcoming endeavours. The home of the Titans has partnered with the Spanish language broadcast television network Univisión, to create an on-campus news bureau to provide opportunities for the Hispanic and Latino community in Orange County.

Univisión anchor and reporter Francisco Ugalde is the on-campus mentor for student reporters. Ugalde’s office is located at the Titan Studios in the Pollak Library and is on campus on a day-to-day basis when he is not covering stories. The partnership between the two platforms synergize students with professionals.

This effort was part of a push from the Latino Communications Initiative (LCI), a workforce initiative that helps bilingual students enter the industry through internships and professional newsrooms.

It was the night of June 13 when I got the phone call that changed my life forever. I was sitting on my twin-sized bed on the sixth floor of our modern-Italian apartment finishing an assignment for my class. I answered with “hello” and after what felt like minutes of silence, I finally heard a crack in my brother’s broken response.

“Are you sitting down?” he asked. *** Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine. This past June, that dream finally came true.

Cal State Fullerton’s College of Communications offered a trip of a lifetime to study courses in the beautiful country of Italy for four weeks during the 2016 summer semester. Being a single mother of a 4-year-old (now 5 years old), I thought my chances of going were slim to none.

Cal State Fullerton’s WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center offers a voluntary Gender Chat Inclusive Language workshop to students, organizations and academic courses.

The program “focuses on how the language we use alters our relationships with other people and attempts to question the language and phrases we use,” according to the WoMen’s Center website.

The WoMen’s center would not provide comments about the workshop and directed all questions to be answered by CSUF’s Strategic Communications department. Paula Selleck, the associate director of News Media Services for Strategic Communications spoke with the Daily Titan on their behalf.

DTBRIEFS LAPD Chief Beck rejects deportation

on

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said Monday that he has no plans to change LAPD’s immigration stances, despite President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants once in office, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Beck has made an effort to keep LAPD far from immigration policies and he intends to keep it that way.

“We are not going to engage in law enforcement activities solely based on somebody’s immigration status. We are not going to work in conjunction with Homeland Security on deportation efforts. That is not our job, nor will I make it our job,” Beck said.

Inez Gonzáles, director of the LCI, says the purpose of this bureau is to promote “a sharing of knowledge.” Univisión already hosts two student interns from CSUF and will also offer a tour of its station in upcoming semesters.

“The LCI really prioritizes networking with professionals so what I’m hoping is that the students tap into the knowledge of Francisco, that they be able to pitch him stories and pick his brain and learn from the cameraman and Francisco the daily life of a reporter,” Gonzáles said.

In addition to the center, a Spanish for Spanish Media certificate will be awarded to students who complete four collateral courses with the Department of Language and Literature. These courses ensure that students have

completed work which will enhance their professional verbal skills in Spanish.

The network has actively been involved with the school. Last spring, Ugalde, part of the Los Angeles branch, filmed a segment on campus featuring CSUF’s Spanish newscast “Al Día.” A month later, anchor María Elena Salinas addressed the graduating class of 2016 during the university’s commencement ceremony.

Executive producer of Al Día, Roxana Paul, says the presence of Univisión on campus is beneficial to the Spanish-speaking students.

“For us to have that opportunity to go and talk to (Ugalde) and ask him questions, not only about how to write a script … but also like ‘Ok what stories should I go cover? What are the people interested in hearing?’” Paul said. “I’m hoping Al Día students are

CSUF panel asks ‘what happened?’

The 2016 election results analyzed by professors, students.

JAYNA GAVIERES Daily Titan

In the wake of the 2016 presidential election, many are expressing their feelings on the outcome of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.

Cal State Fullerton hosted a panel discussion Monday in the TSU on initial analyses and general reactions to the surprising results and what they could mean for future politics.

In an accommodation of history and future hypothesis, a panel of professors and students joined together to discuss issues that lead to the election results.

Professor Steven Stambaugh of Political Science said it was a normal election but took a strange process in getting there. Ultimately, he said it came down to Republicans doing a better job at convincing Republicans to vote than Democrats did.

There are multiple concepts that could’ve possibly led to the decision, but Rob Robinson, political science assistant professor, said comparisons of past elections such as 2004 and 2008 haven’t correlated to what happened in the recent

elections such as 2012 and 2016.

Robinson said what democrats needed to do in 2012 didn’t reflect what they needed to do to win this year.

“We have weak parties and strong partisanship,” said Matthew Jarvis, assistant professor of political science.

Jelane Diamond, third-year history major, political science minor and self-identified conservative, said she felt alone in the election process.

“I think the millennial conservative population has struggled in this election, and I don’t think we shared it with one another,” Diamond said.

Diamond said she didn’t share the same views as the people she was surrounded by being a conservative Republican attending a more liberal college.

Diamond said she believes that parties need to do a better job at empowering the millennial population with resources and mentorship.

“I know that not one (view) is right and that both parties have the same goal–to make the United States a better place–but have different means of getting there. The problem is this polarization. There’s no discourse or discussion among our population,” Diamond said.

Alec Marshall, sociology major, political science minor

and self identified Democrat, comes from the conservative state of Montana but said he was influenced and inspired

by Bernie Sanders and his message.

Marshall said he believes there’s an unacceptable level of disenfranchisement with young people and that the millennial generation has different values than older generations.

“I think that being spurned at the polls is going to have a momentous effect on our generation because from what I can tell, a lot of people are frustrated and angry with the way things are being done and are moving to be more active in the process,” Marshall said.

Neither Diamond nor Marshall voted for their party’s presidential nominee in the primaries, showing the dissatisfaction in young voters this election despite their party affiliation.

When addressing the issue of valuing political party over principle, Robinson said that most people lack the detailed knowledge of policy and principle. With the difficulty in finding non-partisan information in the media on problems and issues, people take the shortcut in voting for parties because politics is a team sport.

Diamond said there are major generalizations of each party based on their presidential

candidate. There’s a dissonance between Republican supporters and Trump as well as Democratic supporters and Hillary Clinton and the dissonance can cause more confusion.

After two hours of analyzing and discussing the outcome of the 2016 election and what this means for the future of American politics, it all came down to these main

issues: partisanship, disenfranchisement, polarization and a lack of empathy throughout the country.

“You have to think about what other people think, and finding empathy is important,” Robinson said. “Empathy is simply understanding why people believe what they believe.”

At least half the panel said

they believe that with more empathy, America can become more united and face the issues together to make the change that people want to see.

“This isn’t something on Democrats because they lost; Republicans should show empathy too because they very easily could have possibly lost.

It’s a universal responsibility,” Robinson said.

Physics department holds lunar party First supermoon since 1948 brings crowds to engineering lawn.

ALYSSA MARTINEZ Daily Titan Astronomy students and fellow Titans from all majors gathered together on the lawn across from the engineering building Monday night to witness the first supermoon, or the closest full moon to Earth, since 1948.

“We usually typically look at the stars on special nights, tonight we have the supermoon,” said Catiana Huante, a child adolescent development major at Cal State Fullerton.

The name “supermoon” comes from the fact that the moon appears 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than a normal full

moon and is used to describe a full moon at its perigee, which refers to the point in the moon’s orbit when it is closer to Earth, according to NASA. “We see supermoons on other occasions too, but not as bright or as big as the one today,” said Shovit Bhari, a staff physicist.

The event was aimed to give astronomy students extra credit for viewing the moon, with the intent of having the students take advantage of an opportunity to observe and look at the moon in greater detail. However, anyone was welcome to take a look at this rare occurrence through one of the three telescopes provided by the physics department and faculty.

“I came out here because my communications professor told us to see it because it won’t happen again until 2030,” said Natilee Duran, a

communications major.

Regardless of the reason, people in attendance had the opportunity to see something that hasn’t happened in almost 69 years.

In addition to viewing the supermoon, some students were able to see phases of Venus and the rings of Saturn through the telescopes, Bhari said.

Students formed lines behind one of the three telescopes. The ones brought from the department were Smith Cassegrain reflecting telescopes.

Reflecting telescopes use curved mirrors to reflect light toward a focus point, making an image.

Mountains and craters on the moon were visible enough to be seen, Bhari said.

“Just seeing the moon in full detail was really interesting. You could see a whole bunch of craters that

had been forming, just the landscape of the moon. I’ve never seen the moon with that much clarity,” said Jakob Castro, political science major.

It was earlier in the evening when the moon was just

rising above the atmosphere where it appeared orange, Bhari said. Even so, when the moon no longer looked orange, it was still much brighter than any other night.

“Light pollution is the biggest obstruction in this area.

Whatever we can see, to expand our knowledge, we try to show them everything,” Bhari said.

The full moon is not expected to come this close to Earth again until Nov. 25, 2034, according to NASA.

Chat: Center speaks on exclusivity of words CONTINUED FROM

1

Although the program is not new, it was recently featured in an article titled, “Word ‘Man’ banned by California State University Fullerton, along with ‘Secretary’, ‘Male Nurse’ and more” by HeatStreet, a website that focuses on free speech.

Selleck called the article an “inflammatory and inaccurate web posting.”

The article referred to several program handouts which

provided examples of words deemed exclusive and inclusive. Words such as “mankind” and “policeman” were listed as inappropriate compared to their inclusive alternatives like “humankind” and “police officer.”

In the article, the writer described these words as being “off-limits” by the university.

“They posted something that is inaccurate about how the institution was banning language,” Selleck said. “We are not banning language.”

Despite some backlash, 12 workshops have been conducted since August 2015, with the attendance ranging from 15 to 30 people at each one. The workshop is open to the entire CSUF community and is completely voluntary.

“It’s to promote inclusive language on the part of members of the campus community,” Selleck said.

“The workshops give practical guidance on incorporating gender inclusive language into our

everyday interactions.”

Christine Valenciana, associate professor of elementary and bilingual education, has had the WoMen’s center present workshops to the students in her University 100 class.

“I think that the students need to be aware of language that others may find offensive.

People find things offensive, not only because of the way they act and their actions, but by the way they speak,” Valenciana said.

Valenciana has done the

workshop for two years in her classes. She said both times the students have had positive reactions.

“People have to hear that there are other ways of speaking that are inclusive and are not exclusive,” Valenciana said.

The workshop allows students to learn about perspectives different from their own.

This workshop is important because it encourages Cal State Fullerton students to be inclusive members of the

community, Valenciana said.

“You don’t create inclusiveness unless you hear there’s another world out there,” Valenciana said. “Language is extremely powerful, it paints pictures for people. Those pictures, sometimes have feelings.”

For Valenciana, respect is tied to being inclusive, “It’s not about being politically correct, it’s about being inclusive and it’s about being respectful.

When you’re inclusive, you’re being respectful.”

Jumpstart students join new preschool program CSUF organization offers members real world training.

ELIZABETH HUMMER Daily Titan Jumpstart students at Cal State Fullerton are taking time to help serve children in local low-income neighborhoods.

For the past 13 years, Jumpstart has been guiding about 45 students each year to succeed within their field while trying different teaching techniques to increase

the learning process for local children in low-income communities.

“We (Jumpstart) are the top one or two in the nation for impact on the preschoolers that we serve,” said Dawn Macy, director of CSUF’s Center for Internships and Community Engagement (CICE).

This year, CSUF’s Jumpstart has been one of the five sites to pilot the new preschool curriculum.

“In the past, the Jumpstart curriculum focused on a lot of different skills that would prepare children for the demands of kindergarten,” said Katie

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/NEWS

Herbst, program coordinator for CSUF’s Jumpstart. “This switch they are making focuses more on oral language development and social-emotional awareness.”

Without a strong foundation of oral language and vocabulary, it would be hard for the children to truly succeed in other subjects, Herbst said referring to the research Jumpstart has done.

The Jumpstart members have the opportunity to take this curriculum to local preschools, test it out and see if there is anything else that could be added or taken from this new pilot.

Hailey Shenk, a senior child and adolescent development (CHAD) major, has worked with the program for two years.

“Last year was my first year doing it and my first year being in the classroom,” Shenk said. “We were with the same kids for the whole year and at the end of it, we give them a backpack that has all of these school supplies that they get to take for the next year. That was such a rewarding experience to do because they were just so excited.”

Shenk said the program is a big commitment but completely worth it. Students in

the Jumpstart program must go into classrooms twice a week, for a minimum of 300 hours for both fall and spring semesters and complete their lesson plans each time.

“We definitely work as a team throughout the internship, but again, a lot of us are super busy students; we work, we take full-time classes,” Shenk said. “So, it is very difficult at times, but I think it is probably a little more rewarding than the average internship because of the connection that we get to make in the classroom.”

Although CHAD majors receive internship credit, this

program is open to all majors.

Mathematics, geology, and health science majors have been involved this year.

Herbst said the new curriculum has been going well with many students and is excited to work hard to ensure this new program will be successful.

“Just seeing the investment that the college students make into the children, into the community, how attached they get and how much they really care for the children and want to see the children grow is really encouraging for me,” Herbst said.

Italy: Student faces life without father CONTINUED FROM

1

With encouragement and reassurance from my family, especially my father, I ultimately decided to go, knowing it would make him happy. I also knew that if my decision to go would make my father happy, then there would never be anything to regret about it.

On day 11 out of the 32 total days I was to be in Europe, my father was sent to the heavens.

Being nine hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time, I was getting ready for bed when my brother called to break the devastating news.

Surely I was shocked, but the tears didn’t come pouring out immediately.

The pain wasn’t as apparent as it is now because those were just words to me then. I had no idea what my life would become hours, days, weeks and even months later in my father’s absence, and that was truly the scary part.

Now, five months later I am filled with a feeling of overwhelming loneliness.

I’m experiencing immense pressure from the enormous amount of responsibility I’ve adopted, more so now than ever before.

I am now juggling being a single mother and a fulltime student while grieving the loss of the one person I was closest to and who understood me most.

Talk about a heavy load.

The amount of stress I’m experiencing this semester has caused new anxiety attacks and it’s unnerving, to say the least. It’s exhausting being in my own head, trying to maintain the happiness that people expect from me while still suffering through a traumatic experience so new and seemingly everlasting.

Lately, I’ve felt more distant from my family and friends because no one seems to understand what I’m feeling and going through. People have offered their condolences and I am so very grateful for the support I’ve received thus far, but this is an individual experience.

No one knows what I need most, and even I’m still learning what that is.

This lonely process becomes so frightening that I notice thoughts of depression sneaking in and I feel ashamed. Why is there a stigma on depression? Are people afraid of sadness and those with sorrowful souls? However, those who are saddest are the ones who need the most love and support.

I knew my father wasn’t going to live forever, but imagining a life without him wasn’t something I ever really prepared for.

What this is all teaching me is that it’s ok to be sad.

It’s ok to grieve. It’s ok to accept defeat and failure

because it won’t last forever. And as lonely as it feels now, I am surely not alone.

It’s easy to be hard on myself and lose sight of my goals when in a vulnerable state, but someone is always out there to help, professionally or otherwise.

The one lesson my father taught me that trumps all is that the depth of love in my heart will give me the answers I need.

There’s beauty in the darkness and slowly one can find a way to light the path again through the power of love.

JAYNA GAVIERES / DAILY TITAN

While Gavieres was studying in Italy, she received a call from her brother informing her that her father had died.

Students share messages of unity and support

Titans gathered in solidarity through handwritten notes.

AMY WELLS Daily Titan

The days following the presidential election have been emotional for many Cal State Fullerton students.

Feelings of fear, anger, and disappointment have been voiced continuously by the campus community.

On Monday, Students for Quality Education (SQE), in partnership with Associated Students Inc. (ASI), allowed students to tape their notes of support on the “TITANS” sign in front of the Titan Student Union as a form of therapy.

“People are really concerned and they need an outlet to express that,” said Liz Sanchez, SQE member.

“Most Titans feel devastated by the Trump election.”

For those affected by the results, this is an opportunity to maintain a community and stay strong, Sanchez said.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., students covered each letter with their reflections and messages of unity. Many students wrote uplifting signs such as, “Titans protecting one another” and “We Must Work Together.”

Communications student has a love for the horror genre.

NIKKI NADVORNICK Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s Garrett Hanneken loves anything that contains gore, blood, blood and more blood.

Hanneken, a 22-year-old senior majoring in communications with a concentration in public relations, has been passionate about horror ever

Lindsey Ohling, second-year art major, wrote “I don’t want to be scared in my own country.”

Ohling was disturbed by Donald Trump’s comments regarding women. To her, Trump’s remarks are setting America back in the past where women were seen as objects rather than as people.

“I don’t want that. I don’t want to be the next rape victim and people just put me off to the side,” Ohling said. “I want my story to be heard. I want people to know that it’s okay to stand up to people like him.”

Aylin Garcia, a first-year transfer student and sociology major, said Trump’s statements about undocumented immigrants hurt her on a personal level.

“My parents came here when I was five in hopes to give me a better future,” Garcia said. “What they really wanted was for me to get an education, for me to make something out of myself.”

Garcia felt empowered to write the message, “I am a manifestation of my parents’ dream. Undocumented and unafraid.”

“I think it’s really nice to be in a university where your voice can be heard through demonstrations like this one,” Garcia said.

Jessie Chan, a first-year

mathematics major, was passing by when she saw the demonstration.

“This makes me feel more at peace, I have a community around me that’s safer,” Chan said.

She said she felt scared after hearing about violence

since his parents presented him with the genre at a very young age.

“They kind of showed me the scary movies when I was younger and I just liked them,” Hanneken said. “My dad showed me one of my favorite horror movies, ‘An American Werewolf in London.’ I actually met the lead actor too. So that was pretty nice. I got his autograph.”

Horror movies are not the only forms of this genre that Hanneken loves to engage in.

“Then, I just stumbled upon

writers. H.P. Lovecraft really got me back into reading.

Just his whole idea about the unknown is his theme,” Hanneken said. “He questions the creation of humanity. That, to me, is really scary.”

Hanneken is excited about attending Monsterpalooza, a horror convention held in Pasadena, for the fourth year in a row this upcoming spring. *** If you are interested in being featured in Humans of Cal State Fullerton, contact the Daily Titan Features Desk at features@dailytitan.com

Technology obsession needs an end

Addiction to glaring screens is detrimental to child development.

STEPHANIE DELATUER For the Daily Titan

The millennial generation and the baby boomers have one outstanding thing in common–an obsession with technology.

A common counter-argument expressed is that technology is a testament to the advancement of humankind. But with advancements comes problems that are lasting and detrimental to today’s youth.

It is no surprise that technology has addictive factors, such as coffee or nicotine, that draw the user in over and over in an almost maniacal way.

One example is teenagers using their cell phones while driving, as “over 78 percent of all distracted drivers are distracted because they have been texting while driving,” according to a 2015 study by distractedriversaccidents. com This is definitely not what teens, or anyone for that matter, should be doing when behind the wheel. Society can’t seem to wait to send that last text, or scroll through their news feeds until they can pull over.

It’s bad enough that young adults feel this unsurmountable need to use their phones while behind the wheel, but even while afoot, they keep their eyes glued to those little illuminating screens.

Ohio State University researchers found in a 2013 study that an estimated “1,500 pedestrians were treated in emergency rooms in 2010 for injuries related

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

While parents and millennials walk around staring at their screens, the young ones looking up to them are learning to mirror their muted interactions with others. This addiction to technology must be stopped by those who created it or else the next generation will inherit the same dangerous habits.

to using their cell phones while walking. “ Technology is a new and fixable problem for the Net Generation, but will become an ingrained problem for future generations if ignored.

A Common Sense Media poll found that half of the teens they asked felt that they were addicted to their mobile devices, which is alarming because it suggests a heavy decrease in the amount of human interaction.

The younger generation is also affected by this technological craze of the modern times. Instead of playing with toys, most children are now occupied with iPads or

other electronic devices.

Children under the age of two have an actively developing mind, as they learn the proper social interactions from their parents as they get older. While technological advancements are great at teaching educational aspects, they are hurting the social developments of children.

“These developments are only made possible, however, when the child is actively engaging with their caregiver,” according to a 2014 article in the Medical Daily.

It is interesting to note that companies that manufacture these child-proof tablet covers and tablets designed for children are

actively engaging in this brainwashing of toddlers.

They are blatantly ignoring the harmful ramifications that these devices will have to turn a profit.

For children older than 2 years old, ”research has shown that only one extra hour of TV can lower a child’s motor skills and psychosocial abilities,” according to Medical Daily.

This brings up justified concerns as everyone has seen babies at the mall that are screaming one minute, then the next are quietly subdued by a glowing screen.

Worryingly, this addiction can start at a young age. However, the parents

are worse with these addictions, as shown by the same Common Sense Media poll which found that, “27 percent of parents feel they are addicted to their mobile devices.”

These children will most likely grow up with impaired developmental abilities, like a lack of focus, bad eyesight and some sort of social nervousness as these devices aid in an aversion to traditional upbringing, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

It’s not impossible in the slightest as children learn from watching parents and millennials walking around staring at their phones and tablets. These kids will

know no other type of interaction in society.

The general public needs to reconnect their kids and themselves to the world around them and disconnect the endless stream of news popping up on their social media accounts.

As technology continues to evolve, individuals must practice better self-control in the presence of electronic devices while improving the social relations that are a natural part of human interaction.

While this is a relatively new problem in society, it can be thwarted just as quickly as it was brought up. The only way to do so is recognizing it first.

‘Movember’ has been covered and forgotten

Cancer awareness can’t seem to grow from “No Shave November.”

ANTHONY BAGHDADY Daily Titan

What once used to be a beautifully hairy way to spread awareness has now dwindled down to forgotten stubble.

Those who are unaware of “No Shave November” are probably confused when November comes around each year and are unable to make sense of the increased number of mustaches, even though there’s been a decline lately.

“No Shave November” is a charitable organization that asks men of all ages to grow out a mustache for the month of November in the hopes of spreading cancer awareness, particularly concerning men’s health.

The movement was founded in 2003 and managed by an organization called the Movember Foundation. Its website states that, “Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn’t being talked about. Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent.”

A bold statement from a bold movement that it’s main goal is to reduce the number of premature male deaths by 25 percent in the next 14 years. Part of that is raising awareness.

The Movember Foundation is doing a rare thing with its charity work; it doesn’t ask outright for people to donate as simple awareness has become the currency of understanding FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

and sympathy.

Instead of buying an expensive shirt or brandishing some other article of clothing, “Movember” gives everyone around the world the opportunity to share in raising awareness for free.

The website does, however, collect donations and uses the money to fund projects focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical activity.

“Movember” used to be exceptionally trendy among middle-aged men, however, popularity has dwindled in recent years, leading to less and less mustaches each “Movember.” And less mustaches means less cancer awareness.

As hilarious as it is to see a wide array of mustaches all month long, the charity is no laughing matter.

By making the movement something that every man has dreamed about doing, namely growing out a cool Tom Selleck-like ‘stache, the charity has managed to raise over $700 million for multiple charities over the past 13 years.

In 2012, the organization raised $42.4 million, but just three years later, the organization only managed to raise $12.9 million.

The “Movember” trend has suffered a substantial and sequential decline since 2012 as the organization sees less money and less members each year.

Any organization against cancer is a godsend and ones that reach younger demographics for the price of nothing is truly amazing.

It’s heart-wrenching to see

that this charity is losing popularity.

Cancer is terrifyingly unforgiving, affecting 39.6 percent of both men and women at some point in their lifetime. It continues to be the leading cause of death in the world so spreading awareness among those who otherwise would be ignorant to these problems is integral in leading the way to finding a cure.

The hard truth is that nearly everyone knows someone who was affected by cancer. And for the sake of those who have it, it’s important to spread awareness, even if it just means growing a silly mustache for a month.

Please keep in mind that a mustache isn’t a membership fee. Women can also become honorary “No Shave November” members as well.

Just because your ‘stache doesn’t look as cool as Jeff Bridges’ doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it. But please, when Dec. 1 comes around, make sure your unkempt mustache is gone.

If we do not spread awareness about multiple cancers that affect everyone’s lives, then people will forget how treacherous they are and will not donate.

Less money means less research done to cure these diseases, and without a cure, people will continue to lose their lives.

So do the right thing, and let that pretty face be covered with as much facial hair as your body allows and spread awareness for a cause that truly is asking for nothing.

Lathan drops 27, but Titans drop game HAYLEY M. SLYE Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton leading scorer Iman Lathan fell to the ground with an ankle injury early in the first quarter of the Titans’ 88-86 loss to the University of Idaho Monday. Clearly in pain as she was helped off the court, her team went on without her.

“When she fell on the floor, I was like ‘oh my gosh please get up.’ It scared me,” said Fullerton guard Jordan Jackson.

Jackson and Kemeshia Walker helped keep it close, moving the ball and scoring five points to protect a two-point lead.

Meanwhile, Lathan had her ankle wrapped up on the sidelines.

“I knew Iman. She’s not going to sit out,” Jackson said.

Lathan returned with a little over five minutes left in the first, going on to tally 14 points in the half and 27 on the night.

“I was really scared that I wasn’t going to be able to play after it happened, but I’m a little dramatic sometimes,” Lathan said.

“My teammates helped to keep me going. Their energy just transferred to me and my coaches’ energy just transferred to me so it was easy to bounce back.”

Despite the effort, the Titans fell to 0-2 on the season with their loss to the Vandals, who went 24-10 overall and made it to the NCAA Tournament last year. Idaho came into the matchup with a firstplace preseason Big Sky Conference Coaches’ Poll vote while The Titans finished last in their respective one.

“There’s something about a team that gets your motor going as a coach, that just lights that fire and when they ignite it because of their passion and how they play and

them doing the things that you’ve asked them to do,” said Head Coach Daron Park. “It makes me want to run through every single wall I can for these kids.”

The Titans got on the board first Monday with a Jade Vega three-pointer, followed by a Lathan layup that put the Titans up 6-5.

The contest remained close throughout the quarter, but ended tied at 1818. Walker led the team in scoring at that point while Jackson added three assists, matching the Titans’ total as a team in Friday’s 103-50 loss to the University of San Diego.

“

My teammates helped to keep me going.

Their energy just transferred to me and my coaches’ energy just transferred to me so it was easy to bounce back.

“

Fullerton hangs tough with formidable Idaho in 88-86 loss.

IMAN LATHAN Guard “We knew we weren’t going to make the same mistakes that we did on Friday,” Lathan said.

“We knew we were going to come out with a little more passion, a little more fire.”

Fullerton came out strong in the second quarter, rattling off five points in the first minute of play. Lathan contributed the first field goal of the quarter and went on to rack up nine points in the period, continuing to roll following her 20-point performance against San Diego.

The game remained close, and the Titans went into the locker room trailing 43-38. At the half, Fullerton was neck and neck with Idaho in field goal percentage, threepoint percentage and rebounds.

The Vandals controlled the third quarter, leading by 10 at one point, but Fullerton continued to match their physicality.

Lathan scored nine points and Jackson added five assists to combat the efforts of Vandals forward Geraldine McCorkell, who dropped 13 points in the third and 30 on the night.

In the fourth, the Titans stayed on Idaho’s heels as they were down by only one point with less than two minutes to go. Lathan missed a shot from beyond the arc, but Dhanyel Johnson was there to clean things up, snatching the offensive rebound and finishing a putback to give the Titans an 82-81 lead.

It didn’t last, as McCorkell made a three to retake the lead for Idaho.

The Vandals struck again on another McCorkell layup, putting Idaho up four with less than a minute left. As the clock dwindled, Lathan careened into Vandals guard Karlee Wilson, fouling her with just over 15 seconds left.

Wilson made just one of her two free throws, and Lathan answered with a quick layup on the other end to pull the Titans within three.

The short clock left Fullerton forced to foul. Taylor Pierce only made one of her two free throws for the Vandals, but with only eight seconds remaining Lathan’s final layup on the other end could only cut the Titans’ deficit to two as time ran out.

Going forward, Park said he wants the team to work on protecting the basket and limiting fastbreak points.

“If we did 50 percent better, then they only get 15 total points in those two areas and we walk away with a win,” Park said. “I hope these kids hear this message, I hope they read it in the paper and dangit, I hope they come into practice in two days committed to doing that. Because that’s the only chance we have to be successful for the year.”

The Titans will head to Laramie, Wyoming to take on the University of Wyoming Sunday.

After scoring 20 points Friday and 27 Monday, Fullerton guard Iman Lathan (above) shared the credit with her team. “I have good people around me, it makes it easy,” Lathan said.
