TRUMP WINS PRESIDENCY America will no “longer settle for anything less than the best.

We must reclaim our country’s destiny and dream big and bold and daring.

Republican candidate wins despite odds against him.

MICAH AUGIMERI-LEE SARAH WOLSTONCROFT Daily Titan

Republican Donald J. Trump was elected 45th president of the United States, dominating the electoral college with 276 votes and a 48 percent popular vote.

“This is a historic night.

The American people have spoken and the American

people have elected their new champion,” Vice President Mike Pence said in his speech presenting the new president-elect to Republican supporters.

Despite polls and media outlets predicting that Secretary Hillary Clinton, who finished the race with 218

electoral votes and a 47 percent popular vote, would take the election in a landslide, the results proved that the silent Trump voters came out in large support of the Republican candidate’s promise to “Make America Great Again.”

“The silent majority is

back, and we’re going to take the country back,” Trump said in a July 2016 campaign speech, referring to the term the Nixon campaign coined in 1969 to describe the large number of voters who didn’t agree with the noisy minority of Vietnam War protesters.

Fitzgerald, Whitaker and Silva win out of eight candidates.

“I’m running for re-election to continue to be a strong voice for Fullerton,” Fitzgerald said in her candidate statement.

Fitzgerald also said in her statement the issues of infrastructure and public safety need to be addressed. Her record of accomplishments include reforming the police department, refunding rate payers for water overcharges and increasing road repaving.

Her solution to reduce the average response time of 911 calls was to hire additional police patrol officers. Another top concern for Fitzgerald was the need to retain and recruit new businesses in Fullerton.

“I have worked to shrink our unfunded public employee pension liabilities and make it easier for local businesses to grow,” Fitzgerald said.

Whitaker re-ran for city council in order to continue protecting and preserving Fullerton. Council members should represent the interest of residents, not the insider or outsider interests, Whitaker said in his candidate statement.

“We should all expect equitable treatment and honesty from a responsive city government,” Whitaker’s statement said. “Mutual respect, courtesy, thoughtful deliberation and a dignified demeanor is essential.”

Properly prioritizing expenditures was important to

ensuring a safe and fiscally sound city since Fullerton’s city government and the majority of the city council continued to increase payroll and pension costs, impose high rates and fees and shortchange infrastructure needs, Whitaker said.

“A well-functioning, honest city government promotes an environment where we all may pursue enrichment in our lives and those of future generations,” Whitaker said.

As a teacher and coach, Jesus Silva became familiar with the distinctiveness of every neighborhood within Fullerton on top of knowing and working with many students and their parents.

Indeed, businessman Trump, 70, did take the country back Tuesday night, defeating Clinton, 69, in a blowout race ending with his win in Pennsylvania. CNN announced his victory just after 2:45 a.m. EST. SEE TRUMP

Incumbent Royce wins 39th District UNDECIDED

Twenty-two year House veteran reclaims seat.

MEGAN MAXEY Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton alumnus Edward “Ed” Royce has once again been elected to be California’s 39th Congressional District’s representative.

By more than a 20 percent lead, the final results

determined the incumbent as the winner.

Royce hosted a results party at his campaign headquarters in Brea on election night. There, he welcomed volunteers, donors, friends and family to collectively wait for the results.

Royce, a prominent GOP voice in Washington politics, said he plans to continue to work across the aisle to reach consensus on issues as chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives.

“My goal will be to have the Foreign Affairs Committee, all 44 members speak with one voice, reach compromise on issues and be cognizant of the fact that we write the laws,” Royce said.

For the past 22 years, Royce has represented the people in the cities of Fullerton, Brea, Placentia, La Habra, Yorba Linda, Rowland Heights, Hacienda Heights, Walnut, Chino Hills, Diamond Bar and parts of Anaheim.

In comparison to

previous campaigns, the 2016 Royce campaign welcomed a large amount of young volunteers.

“One of the more exciting parts of the campaign is working with so many students, college and high school students,” Royce said.

The congressman said the development of local students and their involvement was one of the best things about this election cycle.

Veteran’s advocate John Newman and former Congresswoman Ling Ling Chang campaigned against each other for the state Senate seat of California’s 29th District.

With polling places located on campus and an election watch party hosted by Lobby Corps, there was an abundance of political participation at Cal State Fullerton.

With the 2016 presidential elections ending in Trump’s favor, those considering fleeing the country should instead be looking toward fixing the problem from the ground up.

“Part of my focus is always walking precincts, so I’ve had the opportunity to walk with many of these students,” Royce said. “It’s remarkable how quickly they become part of the process and start coming up with their own ideas in a campaign.”

Royce, a proud alumnus of CSUF, said he plans to continue his involvement with the university in this term.

“I have been involved in many of the community partnerships that we have had securing grants and funding … (and brought) world leaders to the campus including ambassadors,” Royce said.

During his time in the House of Representatives, Royce has sponsored 11 bills that have been enacted and signed by the president of the United States.

Some of these bills are

about wildlife trafficking and foreign relations.

Trump: Surprise victory for mogul CONTINUED FROM

1

“Because his win was so overwhelming, we’re calling it right now,” CNN reporters said.

The crowd of Trump supporters in New York City cheered and chanted “USA” as Trump took the stage for his acceptance speech.

“Now it is time for America to bind the wounds of division ... To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people,” Trump said. “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.”

CNN reporters on the scene said Clinton supporters didn’t take the decision lightly. While Trump pulled further into the lead, they were seen crying and leaving the venue as early as 11:50 p.m. EST where she was set to speak after the results were in.

It was announced just after 2 a.m. EST that Clinton would not speak early Wednesday morning, according to the CNN broadcast of Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta’s speech, despite the losing candidate traditionally giving a concession speech.

“We’re not going to have anything more to say tonight, so listen to me, everybody should head home, get some sleep and we’ll have more to say tomorrow,” Podesta said, Clinton’s campaign manager said in his speech to an audience of her supporters.

Clinton privately conceded to Trump via phone call around 2:40 a.m. EST, congratulating him and confirming his win, according to CNN. “I’ve just received a call from Secretary Clinton. She congratulated us. It’s about us. On our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very

hard-fought campaign,” Trump said in his speech. “I mean, she fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.”

Despite the strong public doubt, Trump fought his way to the top using unconventional tactics, staying at the forefront of the media because of his controversial rhetoric and policy positions.

Despite being a real-estate titan and businessman, Trump has often dabbled in politics, though never fully committing his energy to the system.

In 1980, he was asked by reporter Rona Barrett if he would like to be the president of the United States. Trump replied, “I really don’t believe I would, but I would like to see somebody as the president who can do the job and there are very capable people in this country.”

When asked by Barrett why he wouldn’t dedicate himself to public service, he said “I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life. And I also see it that somebody with strong views, and somebody with the kind of views that maybe are a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but may be unpopular, wouldn’t necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.”

Again in 1987, Oprah asked him if he would consider running for president and Trump again denied that he would want to be president. “I just probably wouldn’t do it Oprah, I probably wouldn’t, but I do get tired of seeing what’s happening with this country and if it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally because I really am tired of seeing what’s happening with this country.”

In the same year, Trump spent close to $100,000 to publish an advertisement in the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Boston Globe.

The ad was titled “There’s nothing wrong with America’s Foreign Defense Policy that a little

Donald J. Trump won the United States Presidency early Wednesday morning with 276 electoral votes and 48 percent of the popular vote. The mogul defeated multiple Republican candidates for the nomination earlier this year to then defeat Secretary Hillary Clinton.

backbone can’t cure,” in which he criticized the U.S. government for wasting money defending countries that couldn’t afford to defend themselves.

Fast forward 29 years to June 16, 2015 when Trump announced his run for president at Trump Tower in New York City.

The road to the presidency was met with major challenges for Trump, being one of 17 Republican candidates, overseen under the media’s magnifying glass and battling seasoned public servant and former first lady in Clinton who made it this far on the road to the presidency.

The rhetoric of Trump’s campaign ruffled many feathers, not just in America, but globally. Among many issues, he proposed to ban Muslim immigration into the U.S., deport all illegal immigrants and build a wall on our southern border that he

swears Mexico will pay for.

One of the more significant scandals involving Trump was the leak of an audiotape from 2005 in which he made lewd and objectifying comments about women.

Trump will be met with many problems beyond the personal scandals he faced in the election as he tackles the difficulties of being chief executive in a nation wrought with growing threats from ISIS and pending foreign policy decisions concerning the Middle East, high unemployment and issues in health care reform.

“The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer,” Trump said in his acceptance speech.

Trump said he has plans to fix the nation’s inner cities, rebuild infrastructure, put millions of people to work, take care of the veterans, embark upon a project of national growth and renewal,

double economic growth, have strong relationships with willing nations and no longer settle for anything less than the best, reclaiming the country’s destiny.

Trump’s swing-state wins stunned the media, election predictors and many Clinton supporters across the country.

The new president-elect gained support from white, working-class voters in rural areas of Ohio and even persuaded the more affluent voters of North Carolina. In addition, he swayed Pennsylvania and Michigan who haven’t voted Republican since 1988, according to CNN. Florida had one of the largest impacts on the 2016 election, setting Trump on the track to victory. It took over three hours to report the swing state’s final numbers.

Despite the sunshine state’s 129 percent surge of Latino voters in comparison to

numbers from 2008 and Clinton’s support in Miami-Dade, Florida’s largest county, Trump overcame Clinton’s early lead, winning the state.

While she started out with 49.9 percent and Trump at 47.3 percent just before 8 p.m. EST, the tides changed around 8:45 p.m. EST and held strong, with Trump taking Florida just after 11:30 p.m. EST with 49.1 percent and Clinton at 47.7 percent, according to CNN. Trump said this election has not witnessed a Republican campaign, but rather a movement that encompassed voters from all races, backgrounds and beliefs.

“It’s been what they call a historic event, but to be really historic, we have to do a great job, and I promise you that I will not let you down,” Trump said. “And I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning.”

State Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang (R) led Josh Newman (D) in the race for state Senate District 29 Tuesday 52.1 to 51.8 percent at press time.

“She is a rockstar among the youth, she really is. She’s young herself, and she’s just an amazing phenomena and she inspires quite a few young women, but also youth in general,” said her campaign manager, Joel Angeles.

Chang led the way in early counts. The 29th District represents parts of Fullerton, Anaheim, Placentia, Brea and La Habra.

“Even when it doesn’t work out well, democracy is still an amazing process and it’s great to be a part of it,” Newman said. “My strong belief is that people deserve the best choices for their public servants and then when you vote, you’re hiring somebody to work for you.”

Newman would have been the first Democrat to win the district in at least two decades. He supports improving the cost of public universities, government programs that address needs, and

the calculated “liberalization” of marijuana. He said he served as an officer in the U.S. Army upon graduating from Yale University.

“What I think you seem to be getting from Ling Ling Chang is somebody who is really committed to succeeding in politics,” Newman told The Daily Titan last month. “The

only difference between the assembly and the state Senate in California is the length of the term and the size of the jurisdiction. It’s not like Congress where there’s a really big difference.”

Chang was endorsed

by U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R), as well as Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens and OC

Auditor Controller Eric Woolery. Chang campaigned alongside Royce, who won the 39th Congressional District Tuesday as well. Royce, a Cal State Fullerton alumnus, has been in Congress since 1992.

NEWS CSUF students turned out en masse to participate PAGE 4 NOVEMBER 9, 2016 WEDNESDAY

Large voter turnout and watch party show political convictions.

JACQUELINE LINDENBERG Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton students had the opportunity to exercise their right as the campus offered voting locations and an election watch party to view the final results.

The George G. Golleher Alumni House at CSUF, also known as the Alumni House, opened its doors Tuesday as a prime location for students to vote on campus, bringing in a large turnout.

“I’ve never seen lines like this. It is amazing to see so many young people motivated and hard working, getting out there and willing to stick it out and go vote,” said Eddie Kirby, president of the California Young Democrats.

Water and snacks were passed out to voters as attendees waited out the long lines.

“We wanted to make sure the students felt very comfortable and had access to voting and not be discouraged by the long lines,” Kirby said.

CSUF stood out among other universities as not every CSU campus had polling locations.

Besides waiting in line and voting on actual election day, citizens also had the option to mail in their ballot. Students Anna Sargent and Damoira Chung did exactly that.

In regards to voting for specific presidential candidates, Sargent chose to vote for the candidate that best represented her views, while Chung’s main concern was the propositions.

“I’m glad there are going to be no more debates because those are just crazy– funny–but sad at the same time,” Chung said.

For those who didn’t decide to cast an early vote, including student Giselle Concepcion, waiting in lengthy lines was the next-best option. Concepcion urged voters to exercise their right, because their voice matters.

On top of providing students with a polling location on campus, an election night watch party was held in the TSU Underground Pub, where multiple televisions projected the live election results to any students and faculty who wanted to watch.

“It’s been a very interesting election, and I think a lot of people are waiting for it to be over. It’s really nice especially to see young people that are still wanting to vote and wanting to wait in those lines to vote, and they are committed to doing it.” said Jeanne Tran, the associate director of State and Community Relations at CSUF. Students kept their focus on the televisions while others talked among themselves in low murmurs.

The polls turned into a tight race as the night drew on, and the question of who could possibly win was up in the air. Even faculty members joined in on the watch party.

“Trump is overperforming

what the polls were. Things are kind of moving in his direction at this point. There are still states that need to be called. Clinton won Virginia which helps her out, probably going to lose Florida which hurts,” said Stephen Stambough, professor of political science at CSUF. Before most of the polls

in key states were officially tallied, guessing which candidate would accumulate enough electoral votes remained a hot topic. Ultimately, Donald Trump was declared as the winner and the president-elect.

“I wasn’t really expecting anything. Because one, (Hillary Clinton), is a female candidate and

(Trump) is a candidate with no political background, so both are kind of new in the game. So I didn’t really know how it was going to play out,” said Brianna Magana, senior sociology major with a concentration in social work, and a minor in child adolescent development.

CSUF enabled students

to be informed and voice their opinion in the 2016 presidential election, encouraging and supporting them to exercise their right to vote in this pivotal decision for the United States of America.

“Knowledge of our differences, as well as of our mutual strengths and interests, inspires my drive now to address needs and challenges across our city as a council member,” Silva’s statement said.

He gained insight by serving on the Parks and Recreation Committee and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Commission, the latter of which provided him an understanding of Fullerton’s housing needs and community development program priorities, Silva said in his candidate statement.

Now that he is elected, Silva’s promises to the city include reviving the Fox Theatre, preserving neighborhoods, working with local businesses to attract new economic opportunities, maximizing effectiveness of tax dollars and giving every neighborhood a voice in city hall.

A&E Nintendo looks to switch it up with its latest console.

KENYA BARRETT Daily Titan Back in August, the public caught wind that Nintendo will be releasing a new console named the NX, along with the highly anticipated “Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” game.

However, late last month, the company revealed that the NX was officially titled the Nintendo Switch.

The device is aimed to be released in March 2017. The Switch may just be one of Nintendo’s most revolutionary consoles to date.

In the YouTube video that Nintendo shared on its’ page, the actors promote the console as something that you can take on the go and basically use anywhere.

Users can connect the device to a box which connects to their television and play at ease with a wireless controller.

When they are getting ready to step out, players can remove the device from the box and continue to play as they travel. The video shows players playing together in a van, at a small gathering, at a park after a basketball match and even on an airplane.

PAGE 5 WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2016

The device resembles the Wii U tablet, except the controls that one would use to operate the device as a handheld are detachable.

The left and right controls turn into wireless mini controllers, known as Joy-Cons and can also operate in similar fashion as the wiimote and nunchuck did.

Unlike past three Nintendo consoles that used optical discs, the Switch will use game cartridges, similar to those found in the Nintendo 3DS. Many of the device’s other internal features and capabilities have yet to be announced officially by Nintendo.

Since the Switch will probably be released as a ninth-generation video gaming console, it is interesting to see what its’ competitors might have up their sleeves. With Sony and Microsoft consoles focusing more on immersing players in intense, graphically detailed gameplay, how will they compete with Switch’s brand new way of gaming?

While Sony recently released its own VR headset, and Microsoft may potentially be establishing one, enhancing these technologies to include 4K visuals and long battery life may create some competition for the Switch.

Honestly, unless both companies create their own variations of the Switch,

I feel as though Nintendo might have them beat for the ninth generation of video games. Who knows, maybe Sega might even make a grand return to the video gaming world as well.

Let’s not forget the success that all the companies had in the seventh and eighth generations of video gaming consoles. With the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii creating the seventh generation of home gaming, these consoles have all impacted the way gamers enjoy games.

While the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 focused on HDMI graphics and online gaming components, the Wii emphasized group play using motion sensors and interactivity. With the Nintendo Wii being such an innovative creation, it is no surprise that it was the best-selling console of its generation.

In the eighth generation of consoles, however, Nintendo’s Wii U sales fell short in comparison to the Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s Playstation 4. While focused mainly on the Wii U’s large and rather bulky tablet component, Nintendo failed to launch some big name titles that would bring interest to gamers.

On the contrary, the PS4 released critically acclaimed titles including “Until Dawn” and “Uncharted

Nintendo’s goal with the Switch is to breathe new life into the console market. An exact release date and price, will be announced at the Nintendo Switch conference on Jan. 12, 2017

4: A Thief’s End,” which both received good reviews.

Xbox One also released exclusive games “Quantum Break” and “Halo 5: Guardians,” also received great reviews.

The Nintendo Switch can

potentially revolutionize the way gaming consoles are made as a whole. With the concept and the design focused on being portable, convenient, multiplayer accessible, one can question whether the system is even

considered a home gaming console or a handheld console. Either way, the Switch is much more different and unique than any of the Sony or Microsoft gaming systems that has ever been released.

Exit Gallery finds hope amidst ashes

Heather Wright expresses beauty within grief.

Students with an interest in art can drop by Visual Arts Building E, where a very simple room has been transformed into one artist’s collective vision.

Within the Exit Gallery, there sits a room that can be molded to fit the artistic vision of whoever controls it.

Until Nov. 10, the space will be filled with feelings of deep grief and loss accompanied by hopeful traces of rebirth.

Heather Wright’s gallery is, in both the emotional and physical sense, completely hers.

As students enter the Exit Gallery, they will hear the sounds of rain and wind.

Wright said his is a means of bringing them into a meditative state so as to best appreciate the work.

With many of her works, she uses the process of burnout, which is taking fibrous material and applying liquid clay and then placing it in the

kiln. Finally, Wright allows the fibers to burn away, which maintains the core and the crust of what is left over.

“I like taking antique found objects and repurposing them,” Wright said.

Many of the pieces for her are about grieving the death of her father, who had died from emphysema. One piece, titled “My Daddy’s Chair,” features a chair with a luminescent pair of lungs glowing above it. An open padlock is shown below the lungs, which Wright said symbolizes him being free of his earthly shackles.

“This is probably one of my most personal pieces,” Wright said. “He couldn’t walk and he couldn’t breathe very well and after a series of visits to the hospital, we had to make the decision to stop keeping him alive.”

Sometimes, the process of burn-out has some potentially disastrous results, as illustrated in her piece titled “When the Bough Breaks.”

The piece features the ruined remains of a ceramic cradle which shattered as she attempted the burn-out process, leaving her with something completely different

than what she anticipated.

“It sat on my desk for a long time, just in a heap,” Wright said.

This process of finding beauty in ashes carries over into many of her pieces on display.

“In the past year or two,

almost every student art show that we have had in the TSU, she has submitted work,” said TSU gallery coordinator Danielle Clark .

“We have had a really great working relationship in terms of the expositions that are at the TSU.”

Wright’s aren’t the only pieces to be displayed for the remainder of the semester, as the Exit Gallery will be open for additional pieces. BFA student Audrey Higa will have control of the gallery from Nov. 12 through Nov. 17 ans well as BFA student

Ezekiel Stacey from Nov. 26 to Dec. 1. An ART 479 Student Show for creative photography will also make its appearance from Dec. 3 to Dec. 8.

The website’s FAQ page answers the question “Is this for real?” with a resounding “Yes.” Trump and Vice President Mike Pence want to crack down on immigration in a way that would sever children from their parents and leave more families with no possible way to support themselves. If you are an immigrant that would be in danger of this, go ahead and take a seat on that plane.

Trump has no solution to tackling rampant police

brutality against black citizens, other than his vague promise to bring “law and order,” and has endorsed stop-and-frisk, which is a practice already ruled unconstitutional for targeting minorities. If you’re black, hurry on over to the airport. And while you’re at it, carpool with every other minority group too because they probably won’t fare very well under this dictatorship–I mean, presidency.

Trump has not come out in support of same-sex marriage and Pence supports conversion therapy, a practice that uses psychological treatment and spiritual counseling to “pray the gay away.” It is banned in five states, is “dangerous and discredited,” and can lead to “depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness and suicide,” but not to the intended change in sexuality, according to the Human Rights Campaign. If you identify as part of the LGBTQIA community, buy a ticket to Canada too.

Trump and Pence are prolife, and Trump has said that he will appoint pro-life Supreme Court judges. They support defunding Planned Parenthood, even though Trump has admitted that it helps “millions and millions of women” in other ways besides providing abortion procedures.

In addition, his sexist comments (which should not be reduced to just “locker room talk”) create a nation of men who think it’s okay to talk and behave in such a way that makes women feel objectified and degraded.

If you identify as a woman, you better make sure your passport isn’t expired.

Why don’t we throw Jewish people on the plane, too?

Historically, they are not

Though the outcome of the 2016 Presidential Election may make it seem as though the only option is to leave the country, it’s not.

But, the only way that the public can make sure that this type of fiasco doesn’t happen again is to learn from the mistakes made.

fans of loud men with funny hair who want to make their country great.

Now that everyone who needs to get on the plane has been given this PSA, anyone else who won’t stand for bigotry and buffoonery should go ahead and pack their suitcases as well.

All that’s left of America will be white men led by one orange man.

While joking like this may help with the intense sadness and cynicism, in all seriousness, the biggest “f**k you” to Trump would not be a mass exodus from the country, but a drastic

reform against people like him.

People who want to be proud of the country they live in should get active in changing the parts they are not proud of. That begins at the local level.

Trump was able to win because America only had two

real options, and too many people deemed him the better one. If people start voting wisely at local levels and slowly building toward the national level, then we won’t be stuck with an oppressive two-party system, choosing between the lesser of two evils.

SPORTS Titans face familiar foe in Gauchos PAGE 8 MONTH ##, 2016 WEDNESDAY

Big West-best scorers go head to head in semifinals.

ERIC DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan

After Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer displayed grit in a first-round win over UC Davis, the Titans are set to take on rival UC Santa Barbara in the Big West Tournament semifinals Wednesday.

The two teams met once this season with the Gauchos taking the 2-1 victory in overtime at Titan Stadium. The Titans had held Santa Barbara’s second-leading goal scorer Kevin Feucht in check for most of the game. Ultimately, Feucht would sting the Titans by scoring the game-winning goal in the 92nd minute. “(Feucht) has scored a lot of game winners for them, he’s that kind of guy, so you have to make sure their point people are definitely marked,” said Head Coach George Kuntz following the loss in early October.

Throughout its history, Fullerton has struggled in the head-to-head matchups against Santa Barbara with a 24-31-3 overall record.

The 2015 Big West championship came down to these two teams, and despite Santa Barbara’s historical success against Fullerton, it

was the Titans who took the match 1-0.

Although the Gauchos outshot the Titans 22-5 in that match, the Santa Barbara offense proved ineffective against Titan goalkeeper David Elias. Elias would make a total of five saves in the game, all coming in the second half. The outstanding play from the Titan goalie earned Elias tournament MVP honors following the match.

“I think you’ve got to give the goalkeeping team, we call them the goalkeeping union, a lot of credit,” Kuntz said in a press release following the 2015 game. “We had to be a good team defensively this year. You can bend but you can’t break, and I thought we did very well.”

Elias and company will be tested once again, as Santa Barbara led the conference this season with 30 goals overall. Although the Gauchos have a robust offense, it will have a tough task against the stout Fullerton defense. The Titans’ 1.12 goals-against average was the lowest in the conference this season. Elias also led all goalies in the same category with an average of 0.99.

An advantage for the Gauchos is that the team will be fully rested heading into the match. Since Santa Barbara is the No. 1 seed out of the North Division, the Gauchos were awarded a bye week for the first round.

KATIE ALBERTSON / DAILY TITAN

David Elias (right) defends the net during the Titans’ Big West Tournament win over UC Davis Saturday. Elias led the Big West this season with a 0.99 goals-against average.

This means Santa Barbara hasn’t played since Oct. 30, giving them a full 10 days away from the pitch.

The Titans, however, have played two games in the last week and will be entering the game with only three days off.

“The most important thing to keep in focus is to get their health back,” Kuntz said after the Big West Tournament semifinals Saturday, in which the Titans drew 1-1 with UC Davis but snagged the victory on penalty kicks.

To counteract the discrepancy in off days, Fullerton will rely on its experience having previously played competitive matches in Santa Barbara.

“We’ve been there so many times. It’s going to be a great match,” Kuntz said.

“We play in such a great west region that everybody beats each other up, so we’ll see who comes out of that one.”

The match is slated to begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday at UC Santa Barbara’s Harder Stadium.

Volleyball defeated in 11th straight match Despite senior night spark, Fullerton falls to Matadors.

BRYANT FREESE Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton volleyball (6-20) lost its 11th straight game Tuesday night at Titan Gym to Cal State Northridge 3-1 as the Titans honored the only senior on the roster, Precious Manu, prior to the game.

Manu’s family showed up in support, performing the Haka dance on the court prior to the game. The crowd, primarily fueled by the Manu family, made for one of the loudest crowds at Titan Gym this season.

“It was amazing, I actually loved it,” Manu said. “I used to go to school in Maryland so I didn’t have the opportunity like this, so I was grateful that I can do that.”

Manu’s teammates were also energized by the family’s enthusiasm.

“We got way more passionate for the game too, just watching that and seeing how dedicated her family is to her,” said sophomore

Madeline Schneider.

That passion looked like it carried over to the court early on in the first set. However, the highly charged emotions only took Fullerton so far.

After controlling the game midway through the first set, the Titans relinquished the lead after the score was tied at 13 apiece. CSUN went on a 12-5 run to eventually take the set 25-18.

Fullerton was its own worst enemy as it tallied a total of eight errors in the first set alone. On the other side, the Matadors only committed one error in the first set. The Titans’ offensive efficiency was also a key issue yet again, hitting a .162 percentage in the first set and finishing the match with a .050 hitting percentage.

After hanging with CSUN for a large part of the match, the Titans eventually fell out of contention, which might partly be due to their lack of experience.

“We need to stay focused, and not lose focus and fixate so much on the error we just made,” said Head Coach Ashley Preston.

Leading hitter for CSUF, Shimen Fayad, started the match on the bench for the

Titans and didn’t see the court until CSUN was leading 21-18 in the first set. It was an unusual position for Fayad, who has led the Titans in kills and digs throughout the season.

Schneider stepped up in the absence of Fayad, leading the Titans with 12 kills and 13 digs in the match.

The Titans did not show the same drive in the second set as CSUN rattled off four straight points to start the frame, eventually taking the set handily, 25-10.

Aeryn Owens and Julie Haake led CSUN in kills with 14. Owens and Haake are ranked third and sixth in the Big West Conference in kills, respectively.

CSUF answered back in the third set and was able to play with consistency throughout, winning 25-21.

A major reason for the Titans’ victory in the set was the Matadors’ nine errors and -.030 hitting percentage.

The fourth set was another lopsided affair in favor of CSUN as the Titans came out with a lackluster performance much like the second set, giving up a 7-1 run to the Matadors to start the set. The Titans did their best

to battle back, but the point differential was too much to overcome. The Matadors went on to take the fourth

and final set 25-16.

The Titans are now 1-11 in the Big West with four games left to play in the season,

starting with a road trip to UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Friday and Saturday, respectively.
