CSUF basketball wins Big West tourney

KATIE ALBERTSON / DAILY TITAN

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball took home the Big West Tournament championship with a 71-55 win over the UC Irvine Anteaters. Only two members of Irvine’s team scored in double digits as Fullerton held its opponent to 31 percent shooting from the field. The Titans also turned the ball over five times, their lowest total of the season.

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball defeated UC Irvine 71-55 to earn its third Big West Tournament Championship in program history. “Unbelievable accomplishment. They picked the right game to play their best

basketball. Most importantly the competitive spirit that we needed, the togetherness, the unselfishness that these guys displayed, it’s hard to put into words how proud I am of this group,” said Titans Head Coach Dedrique Taylor. The game started off slow for both teams, when five shots were missed before Irvine was able to get on the board. However, Titans guard Kyle Allman answered back with the first 3-pointer of the match and converted two early free throws to start his efficient night. Before long, the Titans jumped out to a

10-point lead six minutes into the half. The Anteaters fought back and retook the lead at 23-22 with five minutes left in the period. Fortunately for the Titans, that deficit was short lived, as CSUF bounced back to take a 29-25 lead at the break. Unlike in its two previous tournament games, Fullerton held the lead for the entire second half. Irvine cut the deficit to 3 points early in the period, but as the game progressed, they trailed by as much as 18 points. Allman and guard Khalil Ahmad were

unstoppable offensively, combining for 49 of the Titans’ 71 points while shooting a combined 53.8 percent from the three-point line. “I knew I had to play well. It was a lot of pressure but I just played my game and my coach set me up to have success, so I just went out there and took my shots,” Allman said. Much like in the Titans first two games, they relied on netting free throws to help them extend the advantage. SEE CHAMPS

Cal State Fullerton baseball played a three-game series against No. 2 Oregon State University this past weekend and took a 1-2 loss against the Beavers. The Titans are now 3-4 against the Beavers all-time, playing one series in 1977 and one game in the 2017 College World Series. Game 1 Sophomore Sahid Valenzuela was the hero who cemented the 5-3 upset over Oregon State. In the bottom of the ninth, Valenzuela hit a two-out RBI single to secure a win at Goss Stadium.

Things are clicking and I think we’re coming together and things are going good for us right now. So, hopefully we can keep it going.

The Titans handed the Beavers their first loss (13-1) of the season and believed that game put the team on track to success. “Things are clicking and I think we’re coming together and things are going good for us right now. So, hopefully we can keep it going tomorrow,” Valenzuela told Titan Sports Media. Fullerton headed into the final inning of the game tied 3-3 until junior Hank LoForte drew a walk and advanced second after a wild pitch in the next at-bat. Valenzuela then hit the game-winning knock to bring LoForte home. Offensive powerhouse and outfielder Ruben Cardenas pushed a Beaver win out of sight with a hit that brought in Valenzuela and took the score to 5-3. Defensively, pitcher Brett Conine earned his second save of the year after throwing a shutout inning in the bottom of the ninth. “They’re a good team but so are we,” Titans Head Coach Rick Vanderhook told Titan Sports Media. “The guys took good at-bats and kept their poise in a very hostile environment. At the same time, it’s one win and we’re not going to get too high on it. We need to keep getting better.”

His employment came to an end after eleven months in the position. BRANDON PHO AMY WELLS News Editors

Clem Guthro’s employment as Dean of the Pollak Library came to an abrupt end Friday evening. At 3:18 p.m. Friday, Donna Rader of Fiscal Services at the Pollak Library informed some library staff that Guthro is no longer working for the library, according to communications via the work messaging application Slack. “Sadly, I have no details as to why,” Rader said in her message. Shortly after Guthro was dismissed, Kari Knutson Miller, vice president for academic affairs, sent an email at 4:32 p.m. to the library faculty and staff saying Karyn Scissum Gunn, associate vice president for academic operations, will serve as a temporary library lead for a short period of time. Knutson Miller did not name Guthro in the email or offer a statement on his departure. On March 9, Knutson Miller sent an email to faculty announcing that Emily Bonney, interim assistant vice president
