Students and faculty collaborate for concert PRISCILLA BUI Daily Titan

Students from Cal State Fullerton’s College of the Arts took guests on a musical journey across America for this year’s “Concert Under the Stars.”

The CSUF Intramural Field was decked with patrons sitting at tables and others sprawling across the lawn as undergraduates sang and danced under strobing lights through the theme of “America’s Bandstand,” which consisted of this country’s greatest and most nostalgic hits in jazz, rock, gospel, blues and many more.

“Concert Under the Stars” has a long history with CSUF that has lasted for over a decade now. For the past six years, the concert had only incorporated alumni who have graduated from the College of the Arts. However, this year marked a new change as auditions for the concert opened up to current undergraduates of all majors for the first time.

“I really thought it was important for the community to see what our current students were doing,” said Dale Merrill, Dean of the College of the Arts.

Merrill has only been a dean at CSUF for a year, so

this was his first time tackling the production. He said that he enjoyed being involved with the concert because he felt that he retained

a good amount of influence over it. Leading the concert itself wasn’t too difficult for Merrill, considering he had already directed a similar

production over at Chapman University in the past.

He also enjoyed working one-on-one with the students as well as having the

opportunity to work with the university’s singers, the musical department, the dance program and the theatre majors. Merrill said he

specifically choreographed two of the numbers for each group.

HARRISON FAIGEN Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer hit the road looking for its first win outside the confines of Titan Stadium over the weekend, but remain searching after shutout losses to Arizona State Friday and UNLV Sunday.

The Titans fell for the second-straight time on Friday, losing their first game of the weekend 2-0 to Arizona State.

CSUF had battled the Sun Devils to a stand still for the first 21 minutes of the match, until ASU midfielder Lara Lucy broke the seal on the Titans’ net with an unassisted goal in the 22nd minute.

Titans goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart had four saves on the afternoon and nearly had a fifth on Lucy’s shot. Unfortunately for the Titans, Stuart bobbled the ball, allowing it to cross the goal line for a 1-0 Sun Devils lead.

A “Social Justice” emphasis has been added to the curriculum for the CSUF College of Education. Two designated courses will accompany the new emphasis for students pursuing the graduate level program.

These two courses are Critical Arts Education and Foundations of Social Justice in Education, taught by associate professors in the Department of Elementary and Bilingual Education Sharon Chappell, Ph.D, and Pablo Jasis, Ph.D., respectively.

Chappell’s class is being offered this fall, while Jasis’ course will be offered in the spring of 2017.

A new emphasis in Social Justice from the College of Education will allow students to better deal with diversity in their lives and address the viewpoints of other people’s cultures more easily.

Emphasis: College helps future teachers CONTINUED FROM

1

“An emphasis is basically a particular orientation of a graduate program,” Jasis said. “That means that students have an opportunity to not only learn and take the core classes that are part of what we call the curricular instruction master program but also have the opportunity to take specific courses that allow them to focus on a particular area.”

Both instructors said they want to allow students pursuing a teaching career to have the ability to apply specific practices in their future classrooms.

“I hope they will implement critical arts practices in their school settings, from pre K through eighth grade, inspiring children, youth, families and other teachers to be creative, caring and critical in all we do,” Chappell said via email.

Within Jasis’ class, one of the main aspects dealing directly with social justice will be applied through the main project students

will be required to complete throughout the entire course.

The emphasis is going to connect students themselves with community organizations, non-profit community organizations or associations in the community according to Jasis.

“They are going to have an opportunity to choose if they’re going to work with women’s groups, or for farm workers organizations, with unions or with any opportunity of community-based groups that are really working in these issues and they’re going to develop a project with them,” Jasis said.

Jasis said the social justice emphasis plans on providing its students with situations that take place locally and globally.

Both professors have decided to teach under this emphasis based on previous experiences relating to social injustices.

“I am an advocate for people who have been hurt, traumatized and discriminated against. I have personal experiences with

bullying and harassment, particularly related to gender and sexuality,” Chappell said via email. “I am committed to dismantling all form of oppression and to making society safe, welcoming and inclusive for all people.”

Once the course is completed, Jasis said he hopes students will be able to better understand how to approach those around them.

“They’re going to increase their sensitivity and their level of understanding of the connection between education and social justice,” Jasis said. “They also are going to acquire specific tools that are going to help them move their curriculum and extracurricular activities into a social justice curriculum.”

The College of Education, located at College Park 500, welcomes any students interested in pursuing an emphasis in social justice to contact them.

Chappelle encourages any and all students to contact her or professor Jasis about getting involved in the program.

Professors offer new perspectives

CSUF Strategic Plan leads to more diversity in faculty AMY WELLS Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton’s new tenure-track faculty are bringing diversity to campus this semester.

In her fifth annual Convocation Address on Aug. 15, CSUF President Mildred Garcia said that the new tenure-track faculty members this year represent the school’s most diverse group of professors yet.

Child and adolescent studies professor Sasha Zeedyk is new to the school but feels welcomed by the faculty as she transitions into a new position.

“One thing I really like about this department is how open everyone has been to helping me as a new faculty member in terms of giving me suggestions for teaching and telling me what to expect out of the students and courses,” Zeedyk said.

Zeedyk previously taught at University of California, Riverside during her time there as a graduate student. Now at CSUF, she has plans to begin her research

in autism and developmental disabilities and work with the school’s Center for Autism.

As a first generation college student herself, Zeedyk aims to provide guidance to students who find themselves in an unfamiliar setting.

“I can relate to that feeling of not really having my parents to go to in terms of knowing how to navigate college and having to figure that out myself,” Zeedyk said.

Another newcomer is LaTosha Traylor, an assistant sociology professor from Temple University, where she taught in the criminal justice department.

Although she is transitioning to a new department, Traylor has found her fellow colleagues and faculty to be supportive. She enjoys the attitudes and engagement of her students.

“I like the students here a lot, and I like that they want to learn things,” Traylor said.

Now settled at CSUF, Traylor hopes to start her research looking at the lives of women after they leave prison.

She finds herself excited when her students are also excited. “It’s all about lighting that spark in students to make them want to learn more about the subject,” Traylor said.

The U.S. Justice Department sided with Anaheim Police protecting the use of devices referred to as stingrays, cellphone tracking technology that can mimic cellphone towers to reroute phone connections to law enforcement officers, according to the OC Register.

The devices, manufactured by Harris Corp., have been useful in aiding cases of terrorism and homicide Opponents, including privacy and civil liberties advocates, fear the technology is too invasive and has the potential for abuse by officers regardless of the cell phone holder’s involvement in the investigation.

The Justice Department ruled in favor of Anaheim Police regarding the use of stingrays because they “cannot intercept the content of calls and texts.”

Man dies at Doheny State Beach A man died in the parking lot of Doheny State Beach in Dana Point on Saturday around 2:45 p.m., according to the Orange County Register.

Initial witness reports suggested that the unidentified man, who exited his van with blood on his face, had shot himself. However, further investigation found that the cause of death was related to a medical condition.

Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. John Roche described the incident as “some sort of freak accident.”

Witnesses also told investigators that the man looked to be in his 50s and was a regular at the beach.

- SARAH WOLSTONCROFT

Due to the school’s diverse student body, it’s important that the faculty reflects that, Zeedyk said. Faculty members with different backgrounds also provide opportunities to collaborate with people that have different viewpoints.

“I’ve learned that it makes a huge difference for a student to be able to see themselves in the professor,” Trayor said.

Diversity plays an important part in creating a space where students and faculty from various backgrounds have a voice, Traylor said.

“It’s not about being politically correct, it’s about being open and inclusive. No matter what walk of life you come from, you have a place here,” Traylor said.

Anil Puri, Interim Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, hopes the campus continues to become more diverse by implementing ways to attract diversity to the school.

“Higher education, in some sense, is all about learning about diversity– seeing every aspect of life,” Puri said. “When it comes to faculty diversity, it’s very important to make sure that our faculty provide all different kinds of viewpoints to our students.”

Six injured in Fullerton car collision Six people were injured in a car accident that occurred Sunday morning around 9:56 a.m. in Fullerton, according to the OC Register.

A brown suburban traveling north on Acacia Avenue collided with a white van that was travelling west on Kimberly Avenue. Upon impact the suburban knocked the van into a railroad crossing.

Fullerton Police Lt. Robert Bastreri attributed the fault of the crash to the suburban, who he claimed “broadsided the van.”

The Fullerton Fire department took all of the injured people to UCI Medical Center, and Bastreri reported that their injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

NEWS Liberal Studies offers new minor

PAGE 3 MONDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2016

CSUF students can take classes in Food Studies as of fall 2016 WILLIAM OLIVIERI Daily Titan

A new “Food Studies” minor has been added to the liberal studies department at Cal State Fullerton and is open for student registration for the first time this semester.

“We want students to learn primarily about social and cultural factors that influence food choices and also the way we think about the meanings of food,” said April Bullock, Ph.D, the food studies minor coordinator.

The minor was put together to compliment other majors, such as business majors that focus on the hospitality industry or communications majors with an emphasis on entertainment and tourism, Bullock said.

Bullock started off as a social and cultural historian who doubled as a home cook and gardener. Her passion for food and history converged when she was writing her dissertation.

Over time, she began to publish articles about food history and became a food historian.

“Food is something that we all eat and we all know something about, but I think it’s something that we don’t think very carefully or deeply about generally,” Bullock said.

The minor consists of 18 units from upper-division coursework, which includes a required course that is taught by Bullock.

Students can choose classes that range anywhere

GRETCHEN DAVEY / DAILY TITAN

The new Food Studies minor being offered at CSUF, branching out of the College of Humanities and Social Science’s Liberal Studies department, will consist of 18 units from upper-division coursework. Among the classes, students will be required to take are an American food culture course and a nutrition course.

from nutrition courses to ones that focus on food in relation to culture, such as African American Food Culture (AFAM 301) and Food and American Culture (AMST 418).

“It’ll give you a better perspective on the cultural aspects, maybe the social aspects, associated with food and dietary intakes” said Archana McEligot, Ph.D., a professor

connected with the minor.

McEligot teaches Nutrition (HESC 350), which is both one of the electives and one of the options to fulfill the nutrition course requirements for the the minor.

“It’s the different perspectives, but also the multiple layers that go into nutrition and nutrition related fields,” McEligot said.

Bullock said she hopes

the minor could one day grow to become a major.

“It’s a matter of whether or not students are really interested,” Bullock said.

Bullock said she is finalizing an agreement with a food studies center in Rome that will allow students to go there any summer they choose to take a class and complete a food industry internship.

They will be able to intern

anywhere from farms to coffee businesses, wineries, restaurants or food industries.

The food studies minor launched this fall and currently has 13 faculty members that are connected to it, Bullock said. She said the goal is to have anywhere from 25 to 100 students that will declare the minor this semester.

Students can do so by

either going to the liberal studies office or to the admissions and records office, Bullock said.

“Food is connected to technological innovation.

It’s connected to trade and economics. It’s connected to the environment. It’s connected to culture and gender. All sorts of things that I think people don’t normally think very deeply about,” Bullock said.

“Concert Under the Stars” serves as a fundraising event that contributes to the scholarship programs at CSUF. The fundraiser doesn’t just raise money for students majoring in the arts, it provides scholarships for all students on campus.

“It also is a wonderful opportunity for the College of the Arts to showcase the extraordinary talents of all of our students,” Merrill said.

The concert began with the “Living in America Medley” where CSUF President Mildred Garcia and emcee Tim Alexander, who

graduated from CSUF in 2015, joined in on the singing and dancing while “Living in America” played.

“The Concert Under the Stars” ensemble flipped through the great American songbook with “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” “The Lady is a Tramp,” “Blues in the Night” and “He’ll Make it Alright,” covering jazz, Broadway, blues, and gospel respectively.

The ensemble then took the audience on a road trip across America, starting in the East with “Manhattan” and “Philadelphia Freedom”, trekking down to the South with “Walking in Memphis”

and “City of New Orleans”, continuing into the North with “Chicago” and “Cleveland Rocks” and stopping in

As musical director and conductor for the concert, musical theatre professor Mitchell Hanlon made

changes in the lineup for the “Concert Under the Stars” ensemble.

“We’re using 65 different students in the show,” Hanlon said.

The concert used to just

be an exclusive showcase for the theatre department and had only included about 20 students.

“It’s a big celebration of the talent here at Cal State Fullerton,” Hanlon said.

This year was all about highlighting the talents of current undergraduates.

Charles Tumlinson, music professor and co-director of the jazz ensemble, has been involved with the concert for around five years and said that his favorite part was being able to play at the “Concert Under the Stars.”

“We always love to play for large audiences… It’s

such a great atmosphere and audience to play for,” Tumlinson said.

The ensemble ended the concert with a national favorite, “America the Beautiful.” It was during closing remarks when Garcia came onto the stage once more.

“This is just a picture of what Cal State Fullerton is all about,” Garcia said.

“These students perform to you with all their hearts, souls and love for what they do.”

The biggest crowd-pleaser of the evening were the colorful and spiraling fireworks which concluded the evening’s festivities.

Arboretum hosts bubbly evening

Guests mingle with champagne under the moonlight JAYNA GAVIERES Daily Titan

The Fullerton Arboretum gave people another reason to say “Thank God It’s Friday.” On a comfortable 70 degree evening last Friday, about 100 guests strolled through the arboretum after hours at an event called Bubbles & Botanicals.

In an effort to raise awareness and support for the arboretum, Event Coordinator Ginger Ivey wanted to do something that was outside their usual events.

“We’re doing some garden strolls–opening the garden up after hours for people to give a nice exclusive event,” Ivey said.

Upon entering the rose garden, there was a table filled with rows of bubbly champagne glasses waiting to be infused.

On the next table over, various botanicals were offered for those who wanted to customize their drinks. Some syrups included lavender, apple, mint and the popular combination of elderberry, rose hip and ginger. All of the special concoctions were made in-house using ingredients from the arboretum’s garden and were FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

specifically chosen for what’s in season.

Many guests arrived early enough to taste the platters of appetizers that were almost gone by the middle of the event. Some chose to view the sunset while lounging on colorful blankets that were sprawled out on the grass, and others socialized with their drinks on high tables set for the night.

Tracee Schmidt, who sold “Wicked Treats,” catered her sweet chocolates for the event knowing it would be a good mix with the champagne.

She offered two different chocolates: a bonbon with mexican vanilla bean as well as a rosemary, dried cherry and a salted white chocolate bite that was inspired by the arboretum.

Schmidt said that she does events like “Bubbles & Botanicals” for exposure, but since she’s also a frequent arboretum visitor, she wanted to show support in her own special way because chocolates are her “bread and butter.”

“If I can get people that follow me to come here and enjoy something that they don’t normally come and do, I think that’s an even bigger benefit of doing an event like this,” Schmidt said.

Olson said that her favorite part was the atmosphere and being able to walk around the garden with friends and champagne.

Peplowski said it was the first time all three of them had visited the Arboretum, and the event was a great way to expose themselves to it.

Being the first-ever “Bubbles & Botanicals” event, Ivey said the night’s turnout far exceeded her expectations by at least triple the amount she originally anticipated.

“What we’re seeing is that it exposes people to the garden who maybe aren’t our regular guests,” Ivey said.

The intimate event brought a mixed crowd of ages – all over 21 of course – proving that the arboretum can be for anyone and everyone.

Although the “Bubbles & Botanicals” event is new to the arboretum program, Friday night’s event planted seeds of admiration in new visitors’ hearts.

With the passionate and dedicated team at the Fullerton Arboretum, a respectful love for nature will surely continue to grow throughout Orange County.

OPINION

PAGE 5 MONDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2016

NATALIE GOLDSTEIN / DAILY TITAN

Netflix has been asking the FCC to start cracking down on internet service provider’s regulations on data caps. The caps are a hindrance to Netflix’s streaming capabilities as it pushes down how many people can stream at a time and how much content can be stored on their servers. If the FCC would follow the European Union’s overruling of shady internet regulations, they would further the prospect of an open internet.

Internet providers unplug neutrality Europe advances on open net while USA remains closed WILLIAM OLIVIERI Daily Titan The Body for European Regulations for Electronic Communications (BEREC) finally put net neutrality into mass effect across Europe on Aug. 30. This was done by clearing up and fixing provisions from last year’s guidelines that would have been perfect for internet services providers (ISP) to exploit certain customers. Although this outstanding implementation is a great step forward

in achieving an open internet across the globe, it looks like U.S.A. is still trailing far behind.

Net neutrality is the practice of allowing consumers complete access to all different forms of content on the internet without interference from the service providers, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website. If the FCC would like to keep their reputation and stay true to their own definition, then it would be in their best interest to understand the problem of the data caps and release Netflix and other streaming platforms from the hindrance of this rule.

Across the pond, our shady

internet regulations are making precedented changes like the one in Europe­­–pointless in the pursuit for an open global internet. The EU has ruled for net neutrality to be unregulated and loopholes that service providers could have used to be closed. But in the states, the internet is governed by the handful of companies that control the traffic for the web, namely the internet service providers.

America needs someone to stand up against the unregulated exploitations of the providers who are privileging higher paying customers with a better network.

As Netflix has fallen under the line of fire from internet providers for placing data

caps, it’s up to the FCC to accept this challenge and help bring America to the same progressive level as Europe.

Netflix has been submitting filings to the FCC in hopes that they can demolish data caps, which put restrictions on how much a consumer can stream from their ISP. At the beginning of President Barack Obama’s first term, he was quoted as saying he would only hire people into the FCC that were in favor of net neutrality. Apparently, a few anti-net neutrality individuals have snuck through the cracks.

The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in June that the internet should be seen as a utility instead of a luxury, meaning it

does not need close supervision of the government. This ruling should be a big hint to the FCC and internet service providers that internet regulation, even as monotonous as data caps, will not fly.

What’s problematic here is that the FCC isn’t making any definitive statements. They are making vague rulings and the stubborn internet service providers are not backing down due to the fact that they don’t feel threatened by the FCC. Though the federal court ruling was a decent start to get us closer to the same state of regulation-free internet as Europe, it is certainly not being accepted by everyone.

Some internet service providers, such as AT&T and Sprint,

are ready to appeal to the Supreme Court against the regulations that make them equate all payments so that expedited internet is not something one can buy but is equal to everyone, according to Reuters.

The guidelines set up by BEREC will allow the EU to thrive. However, America is entirely confused as to what it wants. From one side ,we have Obama pushing for an open internet, while the other, the FCC is allowing internet service providers to take advantage of paying customers and businesses. Since Netflix has decided to take a public stand against data caps, perhaps America will make a change that will finally mirror the EU.

Prop. 59 unconsitutional Corporation free speech will be silenced

by November ballot LUKE RODRIGUEZ FREELANCE WRITER Imagine an America where all of the following are felonies: the Sierra Club produces a television ad advocating for the defeat of Ed Royce because of his record on environmentalism, the American Civil Liberties Union makes a website encouraging voters to vote against Donald Trump because of his hostility towards free speech, and the National Rifle Association publishing a book advocating for the election of Ling Ling Chang because of her opposition to gun control.

If you are concerned that making each of these felonies would violate free speech, as most progressives do, then you must believe money is speech and support the influence of corporations on our elections. After all, this type of censorship did exist within the past decade.

It was less than seven years ago when the Supreme Court published its landmark decision protecting political speech in Citizens United v.

Federal Election Commission. In that decision, the Supreme Court held that corporations and unions (the latter of which has been particularly inclined towards taking advantage of the decision) could not have their political speech criminalized by the government. In addition, any expenditures made to spread that message (such as advertising) could not be restricted so long as they were independent of a candidate.

Before that, in each of the aforementioned examples, as Justice Kennedy pointed out in the Citizens United decision, use of general treasury

funds to produce such work within 60 days before a general election would be a felony. Backed by criminal sanctions, under the dubiously named Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA), which casted campaign finance reform to a euphemism for government regulatory overreach over core political speech.

This November, Californians will be voting on an advisory question known as Proposition 59. If passed, it would symbolically affirm that Californians support a constitutional amendment to the United States Constitution to overturn the landmark decision and would encourage the legislature to push for an amendment.

Such an effort has been legitimized by not only Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, who both threatened our judiciary’s independence by promising to only nominate judges who promise to overturn this basic constitutional freedom, but also Donald Trump. This is unsurprising given his already well-established hostility to First Amendment liberties (let us not forget his contempt for a free press).

Such a constitutional amendment would be highly problematic. For the first time in our Constitution’s history, the doctrine would be amended to curtail what the Supreme Court has held to be a constitutional right.

Such an effort was visible when a bipartisan group pushed to do the same for an amendment banning flag desecration after the infamous 1989 Texas v. Johnson decision that held such an act to be a form of protected speech. While most progressives correctly condemned such an effort as an attempt to amend the Constitution’s free speech protections, many of those same progressives have dedicated

VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM/OPINION

themselves to push for this constitutional amendment.

Additionally problematic is the speech that the amendment would allow to be criminalized. While many on the American leftwing have been quick to condemn the decision, many are fine with its effects. After all, unions have been allowed to freely spend general treasury funds or donate to independent-expenditure committees (Super PACs) to support candidates of their choice. Of course, under BCRA, that would be a felony. Likewise, super PACs such as EMILY’s list, which supports prochoice democratic women, or the Lesbian Political Action Committee, which concerns itself with LGBT issues, would be criminalized.

In theory, the common adage that corporations do not have free speech rights could even be used to infringe on a free press–one of the defining characteristics in a free society. BCRA may have exempted news media corporations from regulation, but if the progressive agenda was advanced to forever strip corporations of free speech rights (under the guise of the belief that corporations aren’t people), then the New York Times would be subject to regulation by the government. The newspaper’s endorsement of John Kasich and Hillary Clinton in the primary would become a felonious act.

When Californians go out to vote in November, the common narrative will be that Proposition 59 is about committing the California Legislature to getting money out of politics.

The often unspoken view is the danger such an effort would have on a defining aspect of American constitutional liberty.

From Luke Rodriguez, a freshman and Political Science Major at CSUF.

Slide: Titans deserted by defense in OT CONTINUED FROM

1

The Titans were able to close out the first half without giving up another goal, but their defense was caught off guard early in the second when Arizona State midfielder Adriana Orozco scored in the 47th minute on an assist from forward Natalie Stephens.

CSUF was able to keep ASU leading scorer Jazmarie Mader in check, but the

2-0 lead would be too much to overcome in a game where CSUF was outshot 15-9. The loss was Fullerton’s sixth, and their sixth time being shutout this season.

The Titans braved temperatures as high as 95 degrees in Las Vegas, but were unable to find the oasis of a victory in their 1-0 loss to UNLV. Fullerton’s best chance of the first half came in the 23rd minute when forward

Nano Oronoz nearly scored on a header inside UNLV’s box. However, Rebels’ goalkeeper Jessie Clark was able to get a hand on the ball and deflect it off of the crossbar for her only save of the first half.

Titans goalkeeper Morgan Bertsch survived everything UNLV threw at her in the first 45 minutes, saving all four of the Rebels’ shots in the frame during her first start of the season.

The Titans also received the benefit of luck to close out the half, when UNLV senior Brittney Gideon juked Bertsch’s dive but couldn’t corral the ball as it rolled harmlessly left of the net, and the Titans went into halftime tied at zero Titans forward Connie Caliz had two good chances in the second half, almost striking paydirt on a shot off of a cross pass in the 72nd minute, and again in the 81st

minute when her shot went high. UNLV was also unable to score in regulation, sending the game to overtime.

Sophie Cortes nearly scored the decider in the 97th minute, but her shot ricocheted off the crossbar and the Titans survived the first 10 minutes of overtime.

Fullerton couldn’t hold off Cortez in the second overtime period. The junior midfielder drew a penalty kick when she was fouled by

Fullerton’s Lindsay Stasinis inside the 18-yard line.

Bertsch dove left, but Cortez’s shot slipped just past her outstretched arms to leave Fullerton with a shutout loss to end a winless weekend.

The Titans will get another chance to take their first road victory and break their three-game losing streak when they head south to face the University of San Diego on Friday at 7 p.m.

Men’s soccer snaps three-game win streak

Heilmann held scoreless as McPhie provides only offense ERIC DOMINGUEZ Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer split a two-game road trip over the weekend. The Titans topped San Francisco 1-0 on Friday, but came up short with a 2-0 loss in their Sunday match against St. Mary’s.

The game in San Francisco got off to a slow start as the Titans only managed three shots in the first half of play. Fullerton also took six corner kicks in the entire game, but were not able to capitalize on any opportunities.

Alex Heilmann attempted to get the Titans on the board in the sixth minute, but his shot was easily grabbed by Don’s goalkeeper Andre Glasnovic. The shot was Heilmann’s only attempt of the match, and the Titans’ leading scorer was held scoreless in his first game since being named the Big West Men’s Soccer Offensive Athlete of the Week.

the Fullerton defense held strong. In the 38th minute, San Francisco threatened with a shot in the box that was blocked, but the Dons would have their best chance in the 43rd minute when forward David Garrett took a shot from just outside the goal area. Titan goalkeeper Paul-Andre Guerin stepped up and made an outstanding save to keep the Dons off the board.

In the second half, Guerin was tested again in the 49th minute when forward Kevin De La Torre took a shot from inside the box, forcing Guerin to make a diving stop. The teams remained scoreless until the 58th minute when midfielder Ross McPhie chipped the ball over the goalkeeper from 15 yards out.

The goal was McPhie’s first of the season, and it was all the Titans needed to extend their win streak to three. San Francisco’s offense was aggressive in the second half, outshooting Fullerton 9-4 while also having the advantage in corner kicks (6-2). The Titans defense bent but didn’t break, shutting out an opponent for the second straight game.

Fullerton’s matchup against St. Mary’s had a similar first-half script with

neither team scoring in the first 45 minutes of play.

Both teams finished with six shots and three saves. Fullerton dominated the first half with set pieces–seven corners for the Titans, none for St. Mary’s–but couldn’t get anything into the back of the net.

The second half was a completely different story.

In the 53rd minute, forward Joseph Restani slipped past three Titan defenders and delivered a strike from the center of the box which deflected off Guerin, putting St. Mary’s up 1-0.

The Gaels weren’t

finished, however, as midfielder Evan Martinez made a run toward the center of the box in the 70th minute, topping it off with a pass to Kai Howe who placed it past the Titan goalkeeper.

Those two scores proved too much for the Titans to overcome, leaving them with their second shutout loss of the year. The loss ended Fullerton’s three-game winstreak and dropped the Titans overall record to 4-4 on the season.

The Titans will shift focus to their home opener on Sept. 25th against Pacific at 3 p.m. at Titan Stadium.
