In the final game of the Judi Garman Classic against the North Carolina Tar Heels, Mikaela Francis (center) cheered with her team in celebration of Alexis Gonzalez’s (left) game-tying homerun in the bottom of the first inning. The Titans would go on to win the game 6-5.

Titan softball takes four out of five games at home HAYLEY M. SLYE Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton softball team regained its early-season dominance this weekend, taking four out of five games in the Judi

Garman classic and improving to 13-7 overall. The success came after a lackluster 1-4 performance at the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs during the prior weekend. On Sunday, with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh and the score tied at five, CSUF shortstop Shianne Brannan stepped into the batter’s box at Anderson Family Field and ripped a single to right.

Her hit ended the classic with a dramatic flourish, giving her team the 6-5 win against the North Carolina Tar Heels, its fourth in five games. “I’ve been struggling hitting, so to get that hit was just amazing,” Brannan said. “I almost cried. It was very emotional.” The success at the Judi Garman Classic after a hard weekend in Palm Springs mirrors the last game of

the tournament. The walkoff win came after the Tar Heels took a two-run lead in the top of the seventh while the Titans squandered a bases-loaded, one-out opportunity in the previous inning. “I think it shows how we can come back from such a devastating tournament,” Brannan said. “We can come back and turn it around the next weekend.” On the first day of the

tournament at Anderson Family Field, the Titans found success in a 3-2 extra-innings win against the Arizona State Sun Devils (18-5 overall) and a 6-3 win over the San Jose State Spartans (6-15 overall). In the Arizona State game, lefty Desiree Ybarra pitched all eight innings, striking out four and giving up only two earned runs. SEE CLASSIC

Cal State Fullerton’s College of Communications has created the CSUF Presidential Debate Portal, an online resource center for students and faculty members to educate themselves and participate in the current election year debates. The department wanted people who had an expertise in politics, debate and argument to make informed decisions on who won the debate, Jon Bruschke, Ph.D., associate professor of human communications, said. “At the end of the debate, if you want to know who convinced the most people, you could just take a poll and be done with it,” Bruschke said. People don’t really have an outlet if they want to find an answer to which candidates actually presented the most reasonable and logical arguments, he said. “The purpose of the debate portal is to help interested people focus on the issues that were raised in the debate and figure out who made a better case based on reason, evidence and logic,” Bruschke said.

15th annual Festival of Winds aims to educate University Wind Symphony mixes jazz and classical music DAISY ORTIZ Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton’s University Wind Symphony captivated an audience of family, friends and future university musicians Friday night. The performance was part of the 15th annual Festival of Winds, held at the Clayes Performing Arts Center in Meng Concert Hall. Admission was free and open to the public. The Friday and Saturday all-day event featured performances of an extensive variety of music from high school wind bands from all over Southern California. The University Wind Symphony, directed by Coordinator of Wind Studies and Director of Bands Mitchell J. Fennell, consists of CSUF’s

best and brightest wind studies majors in the CSUF School of Music. The ensemble has performed all over the world including Portugal, South Korea and Japan. They performed three songs on Friday, which included “Lincolnshire Posy,” a piece by composer Percy Grainger that was adapted from various English folk songs, and “Bachseits,” a somber but powerfully chaotic composition by Dutch composer Johannes Stert. “I loved, particularly, the last two sets of songs,” said Mitchell Wong, a 26-year-old illustration major. The former voice major’s love of live orchestral music brought him to the show that evening. The highlight of the evening, and audience favorite, was the “Concerto Grosso for Saxophone Quartet and Band,” a complex, jazz-infused contemporary classical piece by American composer William Bolcom.

DTBRIEFS Nancy Reagan dies at 94

Former first lady Nancy Reagan died Sunday morning at the age of 94, according to CNN. She died in her Los Angeles home due to congestive heart failure, said her spokeswoman Joanne Drake. She will be buried next to her husband, the late former President Ronald Reagan, at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. Born Anne Frances Robins in 1921, Nancy Reagan became known by her stage name Nancy Davis during her short-lived acting career in the 1950s. As first lady, Nancy Reagan was best known for her “Just say no” anti-drug campaign, and her staunch support for her husband’s image and policies. Even after President Reagan’s death, Nancy continued to be an influential figure in the Republican Party. - GERARD AVELINO

Singer-songwriter Diana Cervera performed at Friday evening’s “Voices of Women of Color” event in celebration of Women’s History Month.

Women celebrate diversity through art Students gathered to artistically express their struggles Friday IMAN LATHAN Daily Titan Women of color came together in Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Student Union Pub Friday evening to enjoy and participate in the “Voices of Women of Color” event for Women’s History Month. The evening featured a wide range of artistic performances with dance, poetry, music and a dramatic reading. The performances and pieces represented the struggles that women of color experience in America. “Voices of Women of Color” discussed topics including independence, fighting the stigma of not acting your color, migrant and refugee women, racism, definitions of beauty and sexual abuse. The event was inclusive to all women of color.

The WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center partnered with the African American Resource Center and Sistertalk to put on the event. The event coordinators Rosalina Camacho, coordinator of the WoMen’s Center, and Fnann Keflezighi, coordinator for the African American Resource Center, said they wanted to ensure that they provided a space for women of color to offer their voices and share their stories. Events such as these allow people to see other individuals’ struggles and experiences and find how they correlate to pre-existing systems in the country, Keflezighi said. The event was really about creating a space for women of color to celebrate themselves and their experiences, Keflezighi said. The event opened with a dramatic reading of Dominique Matti’s, “Why I’m Absolutely An Angry Black Woman” poem.

YaaAsantewaa Faraji’s poem “Broken Mirror” explored definitions of beauty in a society that glorifies traits not associated with women of color. Diana Cervera, a singer-songwriter from Mexico City, performed an acoustic set and spoken word highlighting the struggles that brown women in the United States experience. Lydia Wong-Chung performed a dance that symbolized independence from toxic relationships. “I didn’t choose to be a woman of color,” WongChung, a communications and RTVF double major, said. “Now that I am, I have to live with that and make myself comfortable with the circumstances that make me uncomfortable.” The next event for Women’s History Month, International Women’s Day, is March 8 at Cypress MPR-Housing at 11 a.m. The event aims to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women.

For the Record In the Daily Titan article, “HIU offers housing to CSUF,” published March 2 stated that CSUF charges $11,238 per semester to live in the residence halls. This was incorrectly stated. It costs $11,238 per academic year.

Carrie DeLaurie of St. Jude Medical Center answered audience questions about the state of local homeless people at the end of the “Homelessness 101” seminar, hosted by Fullerton Advocating Community Transformation on Saturday. She was joined on the Q & A panel by Fullerton Police Cpl. Mike McCaskill (left) and Jacob Mize (center).

Seminar examines homeless life Speakers share their expertise on helping alleviate poverty EMILY DIECKMAN Daily Titan Fullerton Advocating Community Transformation (ACT) presented a seminar Saturday at Cal State Fullerton about homelessness in Orange County. “Homelessness 101” was designed to educate the community about the causes of homelessness, how to help homeless individuals and what can be done to prevent homelessness. Jacob Mize, a member of Future in Humanity, an organization that works to empower those in need, spoke about some of the barriers that keep the homeless from accessing services, such as not having a mailing address, being in poor health or being unable to store their belongings. Many homeless people have carts full of important keepsakes, clothing, memorabilia and documents, Mize said. “You can’t take public transportation if you have all these items; you can’t

go into certain buildings with carts,” he said. Deborah Stout, Psy.D., a professor at CSUF and member of the Fullerton Collaborative, spoke about how people may not realize how homelessness affects demographics. “The rising cost of tuition, the rising cost of living in the city, has really hurt a lot of the students in regards to their ability to find secure housing,” she said. “The starving student is real.” Some students are dropping out of school because of these issues, Stout said. Carrie DeLaurie, a representative from St. Jude Medical Center, talked about how mental illness affects much of the homeless population. She explained that a mental illness is a condition that impacts a person’s feelings, mood or thought processes and affects his/her ability to carry out daily functions and relate to other people. DeLaurie spoke about how it negatively affects the homeless population, and how individuals with mental illnesses can often become homeless. “They’re unable to secure or keep their housing because of their mental

illness,” DeLaurie said. She talked about how individuals with mental illness can become stuck in a cycle. Mental illness interrupts daily living and compromises a person’s ability to relate to others, she said. Cpl. Mike McCaskill, a member of the Fullerton Police Department Homeless Liaison program, spoke about being safe when interacting with the homeless population. He advised against giving money directly to homeless individuals, invading personal space or being alone while doing outreach. He also spoke about reaching out with compassion. “It’s really important that if you’re going to engage the homeless, that you care about what you’re doing, that you’re not just going through the motions,” he said. “Every homeless person is an individual.” Briana Stickney, a member of Fullerton ACT and one of the event’s moderators, offered some practical tips on how anyone can help to end homelessness. She suggested measures such as giving gift cards to individuals to help them buy food, helping to

connect them to resources, donating high-quality clothing, creating hygiene kits and snack packs and being an active supporter in forums such as city council meetings. “All people are worthy of compassion. We’re all human beings regardless of our circumstances, so never lose sight of people’s

humanity,” Stickney said. In a Q & A session after the seminars, Mize, DeLaurie and McCaskill answered questions from the audience about where Fullerton’s homelessne are located, how to approach individuals suffering from both homelessness and mental illness and how to help portray the homeless

population to the public in a positive manner. Jason Phillips, a member of Fullerton ACT who helped moderate the event, added that it was important to look past the label of “homeless” when doing outreach work. “They’re people first. They just happen to be homeless,” Phillips said.

SInger-songwriter Damien Verret, also known as So Much Light, is set to perform on March 8 at Slidebar Rock-n-Roll Kitchen in downtown Fullerton.

Artist expands Slidebar’s sound with R&B music So Much Light to bring a mix of indie rock and R&B to Slidebar RYAN WHITEHEAD Daily Titan In today’s music scene, listeners are accustomed to bands that incorporate different sounds in order to keep audiences interested. Damien Verrett is a musician from Sacramento, So Much Light, a one-man band that mixes indie rock and R&B. Verret used to be a part of Sacramento math rock band The Speed of Sound in Seawater, which explores experimental rock with a guitar-based style. So Much Light is Verret’s attempt at a solo career. With songs such as “To Kelly Lee” and “Soulmate 2.1,” The Speed of Sound in Seawater was successful from its beginnings in

2009 to the release of its second album, First Contact, in 2013. Verret’s music roots began at a young age. His father, who played in a multitude of rhythm and blues bands, was an influential figure in sparking Verret’s passion for music. Verret’s incorporation of So Much Light’s R&B sound directly correlates to his early exposure of the genre. Metallica and other classic, guitar-driven rock bands gave Verret inspiration to pick up his first guitar. Once in high school, Verret made friends with fellow musicians who were already writing lyrics and recording their own songs and taught him how to set up his own home studio, Verret said. Another pull for Verret was the ‘80s English band The Smiths, which heavily influenced his guitar style. Johnny Marr, songwriter and guitarist for The Smiths, is Verret’s biggest role model.

The piece featured the Hyperion Saxophone Quartet, members from the University Wind Symphony who not only perform with the school ensemble but who have also taken their talents beyond the school grounds playing at private parties and high schools. Steven Ragsdale, a 25-yearold graduate student studying jazz performance and a member of the Hyperion Saxophone Quartet, travels with

fellow members Joseph Spence, Nathan King and Daniel Castellanos to various high schools throughout Southern California to perform for students and educate them on their instruments of choice. “The saxophone is a beautiful instrument. Not a lot of people know how good it can sound,” Ragsdale said. “We’re on a mission to show everyone what we can.” Their mission proved successful, said Enaudi Alfaro, a 26-year-old

audience member who accompanied a friend to the performance. “It was beautiful,” Alfaro said. “I’m not really one to search out performances like that, so coming in here, with the acoustics and all, was really wonderful.” The University Wind Symphony will be performing again May 7 at 8 p.m in Meng Concert Hall. For additional information, people can contact the box office at the Clayes Performing Arts Center.

The Smiths came out at a time when it was weird to be so guitar-driven, Verret said. He was impressed by Marr’s ability to create many effects with his guitar, allowing him to invent cutting-edge sounds. Marr was more of a composer in Verret’s eyes rather than just a guitar player, Verret said. The show at Slidebar is part of a larger U.S. tour that So Much Light will be doing. “I’ve never played in Fullerton before,” Verret said. “Hopefully some new people come out, and it’s always fun to meet new people and talk music with them.” Opening acts for So Much Light include Los Angeles new wave band Decorations and indie band Their Wedding. The show is set to start at 8 p.m., March 8, with free admission to Downtown Fullerton’s Rock-n-Roll Kitchen.

Jazz Orchestra and Big Band executes an assortment of tunes SAVANNA CLEVENGER Daily Titan

The audience sat beneath the glow of the purple lights in Meng Concert Hall on Thursday, March 3, in support of the Cal State Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and Big Band. The two-part performance featured student musicians showcasing their talents on trumpets, pianos, drums, guitars, saxophones, trombones and bells. Big Band Director Chuck Tumlinson and Jazz Orchestra Director Bill Cunliffe led their students through a variety of jazz tunes. The students executed a number of jazz songs, including “Eight Below,” a new tune directed by David Holben, CSUF School of Music instructor, that featured the tuba ensemble. The songs, generally upbeat, all included student solos. Notable acts included Christine Araoka and Elizabeth Derchert, who both performed piano solos, and David Saliby, who was featured on the trumpet and Nathan Evans on the baritone saxophone. Along with student performers, the show also featured guest singer Dawn Bishop, who sang two songs accompanied by the FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

Jazz Orchestra: “Drink Muddy Water” and “You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To.” Music has been a part of many of the student performers’ lives since childhood. “I’ve been playing music since about fifth grade or so,” said Freddy Uyehara, the upright bass player for the band. “I actually started with a little xylophone, and then from there it grew to guitar, and from guitar I started playing bass in high school.” Stephen Layten’s love for music pushed him to strive to be in the jazz band. “I wanted to play in the top group, and this is one of them,” Layten said. “I also play with the Latin ensemble. It’s one of the other top combos.” Layten began his music career at around age 12, excited about music after watching his mother and friends play and recall their experiences. Layten said that while he doesn’t tend to get stage fright after his 20 years of playing music, he occasionally gets the pre-solo nerves. “All of a sudden, you jump and everything starts to come out. You almost forget everything, and then you don’t,” he said. Layten explained that with music there is always an instinct to better oneself and push oneself further. “There’s always that strive to

be perfect,” Layten said. “We constantly strive for that 99.9 percent.” Along with Layten, Uyehara also enjoys the feeling of performing. “If you play with a good group of musicians — talented people — it’s very rewarding,” Uyehara said. “You inspire each other to be better for each other.” Students had various plans for their musical futures, including teaching and performing. “It’s a very difficult business and very competitive,” Uyehara said. “If I could go and play music and actually make a living off of that, I’ll be happy (and) to be able to actually live my dream and just play.” Christian Lissner, trumpet player for CSUF, currently plays in his hometown church worship band. “I want to either teach in schools or use my musical talent in church,” he said. Performers and faculty members also offered the audience a chance to donate to “Friends of Jazz,” an organization dedicated to keeping music in schools. The performance ended with a piece called “Bolivia” and was met with a standing ovation from audience members. Meng Concert Hall will be holding a faculty recital on March 22, and the Fullerton Jazz Big Band will be performing there again with the Latin ensemble on April 22.

New bill faces moral dilemma

The proposed change to the $10 note illustrates old bias GALEN PATTERSON Daily Titan

As treasury secretary Jack Lew’s statement for declaring a new face for the $10 bill by the end of 2015 turns into a holdover, more concerned citizens have turned to advocate a new female face on U.S. currency. Though it is wrong to give someone an award based solely on qualities like skin color or gender, which could be the reason behind Lew’s delayed decision, American history has generally been skewed in favor of white males. American history’s focus on white males is wrong; however, forcing a change just for the sake of change is equally as wrong. If a woman is to be on a bill, her contributions to the country should be the reason to put her on the banknote, and the shortlist, at the moment, could be better. A woman has not been featured on an American-dollar bill in over a century. On the path to equality, candidates, regardless of gender, should have to prove themselves like past people have. In a survey conducted by the organization Women On 20s, asking if Americans thought a bill should be changed to depict a prominent and worthy woman, nearly 300,000 people agreed. Among the names proposed by Women on 20s were Rosa Parks, Wilma Mankiller, Eleanor Roosevelt and Harriet Tubman. The problem with

The next face to be portrayed on the $10 bill should be chosen based on a person’s contributions to the United States, instead of his or her gender. Putting a woman on a bill is great, but putting her there because she’s a woman is not right.

changing these bills is that they have both recently been redesigned to stay ahead of counterfeiters, and the $10 bill is next, according to the U.S. Treasury. Bequeathing someone this honor should be carefully considered and restricting the choice to only women would not be conducive to the progress of equality, but go against it. It should be made on who possesses the most merit.

Harriet Tubman, the winner of the survey, is a great candidate, given the circumstances in which she made her name: escaping slavery, freeing more slaves and acting as a Union spy for the military. She gathered intelligence and successfully freed more than 750 slaves on one raid alone. But is she the best? Someone like Sacagawea is a better option. Here is a woman who risked as much

as the explorers she traveled with, all the while carrying a newborn baby on her back. She was instrumental in ushering in a new age of American expansion, even at the expense and relocation of her own people. Some may argue that Sacagawea has already been given the dollar for a short run, but is this enough? As a slave, she and her husband were hired by Meriwether Lewis and

William Clark for their explorations. They held Sacagawea in high regard as she would help them wrangle horses and supplies across the Rocky Mountains. She represents the sacrifices it takes to build a great nation, qualities that every exceptional man on current bills exemplifies. In the interest of diversity, she would definitely expand the normal type of person on the

GOP debate displays immaturity Republican candidates wasted a debate by attacking each other RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan Fox News’ Republican debate on Thursday turned out to be more of a childish interrogation than a debate. The Republican candidates squandered their opportunity to reaffirm their individual platforms and instead chose to ridicule and belittle one another. The night saw Trump get called out on his claims, but it would have been better to see more of a classical debate on policies rather than allowing the

candidates to play on each other’s idiocracies. About 40 minutes of discussion was spent with moderator Megyn Kelly questioning Donald Trump on his past stances. “Time and time again in this campaign, you have actually told the voters one thing only to reverse yourself within weeks or even sometimes days,” Kelly said. Another irrelevant debate began and Sen. Marco Rubio brought up Trump’s track record with the Better Business Bureau. Rubio talked about the D-minus that was given to Trump University. Trump interrupted Rubio and retorted that it was in fact an A, claiming everyone loved it.

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

A highlight of the night occurred when Kelly got a sparkle in her eye as she called out Trump and said the latest public rating of the company was, in fact, a D-minus. The night didn’t only shine on the mannerless Trump. Moderator Chris Wallace brought Ted Cruz into the mix, questioning his plan to abolish the IRS. “Every American can fill (their taxes) out on a postcard,” Cruz responded. After his joke of an answer, Cruz turned to Trump and began to accuse him for being part of the government that he is trying to draw away from. This promoted a great deal of back-andforth between the three

musketeers, all the while excluding John Kasich, who received an A-plus from Fox News the end of the debate. Rubio began picking at the false image that Trump is portraying. “(Trump) has spent a career convincing Americans he’s something that he’s not in exchange for their money,” he said. Trump retorted, “You haven’t employed in your life one person. I’ve employed tens of thousands of people.” Though this back-andforth between the candidates gave the audience some entertainment, the only thing the argument expressed is how unreliable Trump can be. Hopefully the candidates involved will be a bit more

informative in the next debate. Until then, the only thing the audience was left with was a shred of comfort toward the future. At the end of all the shenanigans, the four little tikes agreed to support whoever is to be the GOP nominee. As encouraging as the ending was supposed to be, it doesn’t instill a very confident view for the future of the Republican race. If the candidates had focused more on real issues facing the nation instead of trying to cover up their past proclamations, then this debate could have garnered some good points that the public could look to when deciding who to lead their country, rather than seeing who can come up with the best punch line.

American currency. The revamped bills are set to debut in 2020, so the decision will have to be made soon. The general public has mostly decided on Harriet Tubman, a fantastic choice. But, really, it should come down to who has represented America in the best way possible. The official choice has to represent the same values that people can pride themselves on as Americans.

CSUF baseball team wins series against the Red Raiders 2-1 AARON VALDEZ Daily Titan The Cal State Fullerton baseball team capped off its weeklong road trip with a 2-1 nonconference series win over the Texas Tech University Red Raiders over the weekend. The Titans went into the weekend series coming off a lackluster performance against the University of Arizona Wildcats, who defeated the Titans 2-0 last Wednesday. CSUF managed to put runners in scoring position on multiple occasions but struggled all night to bring them home for a run. Fullerton went on to continue its four-game road swing with a three-game series against the Red Raiders on Friday through Sunday. The Red Raiders, on the other hand, went into the series against the Titans riding a wave of momentum from their 14-2 win over New Mexico State. In Friday’s matchup against Texas Tech, junior right-handed ace Blake Quinn went to the mound to open the series. Quinn had a superb performance, as he only allowed two hits and reached a new career-high with 10 total strikeouts in 5.2 innings played. In contrast to their game against Arizona, the Titans did a better job of taking advantage of their opportunities, accumulating seven hits with five runs batted in. Fullerton’s biggest rally came in the top of the fifth, as sophomore catcher Chris Hudgins and junior infielder

After taking the series against Texas Tech, the Titans move to an overall record of 6-4. Through its first 10 games, CSUF has improved on last season’s 5-5 record, helping to establish a better seat in the Big West Conference as it comes to a nine-game homestand.

Timmy Richards each provided an RBI, knocking in a total of three runs. Despite CSUF’s junior righty pitcher Blake Workman giving up three runs in the final inning, the Titans held off the Red Raiders for the well-earned 7-3 win. In the second meeting Saturday, the Red Raiders gained the upper-hand on the Titans. A Texas Tech two-run homer and RBI double in the early second

inning quickly eclipsed the 1-0 Fullerton lead, making the score 3-1 in favor of the Red Raiders. CSUF wasn’t be able to take back the lead during the remainder of the game, but the Titans did manage to make a comeback and even the score at 5-5 in the top of the sixth. Singles from Richards and senior outfielder Dalton Blaser put the Titans in scoring position, and senior

outfielder Tyler Stieb stepped up to the plate converting an RBI single, and bringing in his fellow teammates. The game remained tied until the bottom of the eighth inning when the Red Raiders’ senior catcher Tyler Floyd executed a go-ahead RBI double. Texas Tech went on to take the contest 6-5 after it held the Titans scoreless in the ninth. Sunday’s final clash between the two sides saw the

Titans cruise to a 4-1 win over the Red Raiders behind solid outings from freshman right-handed pitcher Colton Eastman and the rest of Fullerton’s defense. In seven innings pitched, Eastman allowed four hits but only surrendered one run while picking up a total of six strikeouts. Other notable performances from the afternoon included Richards, who hit a leadoff home run in the first

inning, and senior infielder Tanner Pinkston, who hit two-for-four with an RBI single. On the season, CSUF is now 6-4 overall through its first 10 games, improving on last year’s record of 5-5. The Titans will return for a nine-game homestand, starting with a match against the Arizona State University Sun Devils (8-3 overall) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Goodwin Field.

Classic: CSUF’s efforts rewarded CONTINUED FROM

“Ybarra set the tone — that win against ASU was major,” said Pitching Coach Tori Tyson. “We got beat up a little bit in Palm Springs, so to come back and hold them in check like she did, that’s a big deal.” Against the Spartans, the Titans’ pitching continued to shine as freshman righty Sydney Golden notched five strikeouts in seven innings of work, allowing two earned runs. Senior third baseman Missy Taukeiaho and senior designated player Sarah Moore led the charge offensively, recording two runs batted in apiece. Friday’s game against the

Wisconsin Badgers (9-9 overall) did not go as smoothly for the Titans. Fullerton’s junior pitcher Cerissa Rivera gave up two home runs and a double in the contest against the Badgers. CSUF could not overcome Wisconsin’s one-run lead, and lost the game 3-2. In Saturday’s 2-0 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats (7-12 overall), both teams had trouble driving in runs early. The Wildcats had an opportunity in the third as CSUF went through three pitchers and gave up three straight walks, but they were shut down before they could score when Golden entered the game. The Titans scored two runs in the bottom of that frame,

which proved to be the only support Golden needed, as she pitched four no-hit innings with eight strikeouts as Fullerton received the win. The victory improved her own record to 7-1 on the season. “That just showed a whole new level of Sydney Golden, coming in with runners on first and second with a threetwo count,” said Head Coach Kelly Ford. “I’ve talked before about her composure. That was just a perfect example.” Northwestern managed just one hit against Titan pitching. The next challenge for the Titans will be Tuesday night against the Florida State Seminoles (17-3 overall) at 6 p.m. at Anderson Family Field.

CSUF misses playoffs by a coin flip

Women’s basketball loses its final game to UC Riverside 69-45 BRANDON ROSS Daily Titan

The Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team ended its conference play on a sour note, dropping a matchup against the UC Riverside Highlanders 69-45 at the SRC Arena on Saturday.

Fullerton (3-27 overall, 1-15 Big West) finished the season tied for eighth in the Big West Conference, along with the UC Irvine Anteaters (4-26 overall, 1-15 Big West). Unfortunately for the Titans, a coin flip gave UCI the tiebreaker, leaving CSUF on the outside looking in for postseason basketball. The season was an unmitigated disaster for the Titans, who at one point rode a 24-game losing streak. UC Riverside (23-7 overall, 16-0

Big West) finished as the regular season conference champions. In their final game of the season, Fullerton got off to a decent start over the Highlanders, leading 14-8 after the first quarter. Freshman forward Michelle Berry led the charge for the Titans with six points and five rebounds, including a perfect three-forthree from the field in the first quarter. However, the second quarter saw CSUF get

outscored 24-4 and shoot 0-for-12 from the field. The only four points of the quarter came off Lauren Nubla’s four free throws. By the end of the half, the Highlanders had taken a commanding 32-18 lead. While the shooting returned for the Titans, their turnovers continued to add up, Fullerton committing six in the quarter to increase Riverside’s lead to 20 after three quarters of play. Junior center Dhanyel

Johnson contributed with five points off the bench. Fullerton ended up losing the game by a whopping 24 points. Berry finished the game with a double-double, putting up 17 points and 11 rebounds. Junior guard Samantha Logan contributed nine points and four rebounds. The turnovers destroyed the Titans’ chances of winning the game, as they committed 22 of them in the matchup. Fullerton also had

a difficult time finding the basket. The team collectively shot a mediocre 32 percent (16-50) from the field. The development of Berry was a bright spot this season for the Titans. She ended the season leading the team in points per game with 14.5, and rebounds per game with 9.1. Head Coach Daron Park will look to help spark Berry’s development along with the overall improvement of his program next season.
