CSUF’s discourse on gun control City

Council votes on library

Public commenters expressed disagreement with possible change. NATHAN NGUYEN WILL ROBBINS Staff Writers

Faculty and students volunteers share their viewpoints on whether universal background checks should be mandated for gun purchases & transfers.

Civil Dialogues fosters conversations about gun policies. SOMMER CLARK Staff Writer

The Titan Student Union became a safe space Wednesday for public opinion on the topic of gun control as a way of facilitating different perspectives among students, faculty and staff. “The structure of this type of dialogue itself allows for every audience member to identify with at least one person on the panel since

the five views are strongly agree to strongly disagree,” said Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, coordinator of Civil Dialogue, a structured public dialogue that facilitates and bridges differing viewpoints. Both professors and students led the discussion sharing their stance on the requirement of background checks for all gun sales and transfers in the United States. Suwinyattichaiporn said the program started last fall after she received funding from the president’s commission on equity and inclusion. The commission serves as a platform for students, faculty and staff to express

a range of viewpoints through its subcommittees. Civil Dialogue is not a panel of experts; it’s conversations between people from the Cal State Fullerton campus who respond to a statement on a particular topic that typically has opposing viewpoints. The event was not a debate, but an “innovative tool for productive civil communication,” Suwinyattichaiporn said. The issue was chosen as the topic of discussion due to its timeliness and ability to relate to recent gun-related tragedies that have fostered controversy,

Suwinyattichaiporn said. Isaiah Salgado, CSUF philosophy student, sat in the chair representing a “strongly disagrees” stance on the requirement of background checks. “Gun regulations would end up criminalizing marginalized communities because they are often targeted by the state and state actors. We need to affirm their ability to protect themselves and regulations (that) don’t ever get to the root of why this type of violence happens within those communities,” Salgado said. SEE FORUM

Vietnamese culture inspires artwork

Works that involve oil on canvas, acrylic on boards and watercolor on silk are combined together to make one cohesive platform in the Salz-Pollak Atrium Gallery of the Pollak Library. The piece “Summer Light” by Duyen Ha, sticks out in particular to accounting student Jovann Delgado, who describes it as being bright and vibrant.

“The eyes, the mood of the painting and the style the artist decided to paint the picture. She’s so poised, looking straight into your soul,” Delgado said. Other works in the gallery incorporate everyday objects like plastic bottles, aluminum cans and charger wires, collaborating with its respective images to create a unique visual for people to see. “VIETNAMESE ART: AN OVERVIEW” is a general review of artwork from Vietnamese culture ranging from ancient to modern styles. The exhibit was curated by Do Le Minh, Ph.D., professor of information systems

and decisions sciences. Paintings, sculptures, artifacts and books from Vietnamese artists surround the space for students, faculty and other visitors on campus to take notice of. Viewers can see a different cultural viewpoint and find appreciation in pieces they may not see in their regular lives. The pieces “Fighting for Space” and “Floating in Ocean” were created by Ann Phong who graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 1995 with an MFA in painting and, according to Minh, represents the younger generation of artists in the gallery. “I think what’s so appealing

is that it’s not like what we have. It’s almost like a different world sometimes,” said Ivy Lomax, animation student. Students who come in to admire the gallery also have the ability to share their thoughts in a notebook where pages have already been filled with praise and appreciation for what they have seen. Minh, who has a painting of his own on display in the gallery, said the idea for making this exhibit came to fruition when he met a group of artists last year who wanted to have a place to show their work.

The Fullerton City Council unanimously agreed to absolve the motion that would have replaced the public library’s board of trustees with members of the council Tuesday night. During the council meeting, Mayor Doug Chaffee asked if anyone in the audience supported the idea of the city council also serving as the library’s board of trustees, to which there was no response. When asked if the board of trustees should be left as it was, almost all of the audience stood in solidarity. “Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke,” said Kathy Dasney, who has been a staff member of the Fullerton Public Library for decades. Dasney opposed the council’s actions that would have stripped the library’s board of any administrative power. “Our board members come to the table with no personal or political agenda. They are there to make decisions that are in the best interest of the library,” Dasney said. The proposal, which was first proposed by Councilwoman Jennifer Fitzgerald in May, would have effectively replaced the board with the city council. “Libraries protect the right to free speech and support democratic institutions written into our Constitution,” said one public commenter. “Why would you want to change something that is so successful and has provided us with the magnificent library we have today?” During the period of open comment in the meeting, multiple people publicly criticized the council members with others in the audience sharing the same sentiment. “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this,” said one Fullerton resident. “We’re trying to do the right thing but we see so many unethical things going on in our city.” The resident brought her two children with her to the meeting in an attempt “to show our children how to do things the right way.” “I do not like the idea of the council serving as the board, because then we’re reporting to ourselves. The board of trustees reports to the council, and if we are one in the same, there is no check and balance,” Chaffee said. All five members of the council voted unanimously to not assume the role of the library board of trustees. “I think it was outstanding that the council took the time to listen to the public, to reflect on what it is that we value as a library and responded in a really positive fashion,” said trustee board member Ryan Cantor after the council announced its decision.

Forum: Civil discussion aims to bridge gaps CONTUNUED FROM

Daniel Sutko, assistant professor of human communications studies, sat on the chair designated as “strongly agreeing” with background checks. “My byline is that guns don’t scare me, people scare me, which is why we need universal background checks,” Sutko said. Alyssa Samek, assistant

professor of human communications studies, agreed somewhat and was mostly concerned with safety. “The concerns about the ways in which not implementing background checks do foster loopholes and thinking about how to use these alongside a variety of policies that hopefully help change gun culture,” Samek

said. From the agreeing side, Sutko said universal background checks could close some loopholes. “Just because we cannot change that big frame work or big structure, doesn’t mean we can’t start somewhere,” Sutko said. The original statement came to be framed under demilitarization of police and the politicalization

of crime and punishment, said Lee Thach, the event facilitator. Overall, the audience dialogue focused on issues that related to economic and cultural concerns, the question of whether universal background checks are covered under constitutional rights and whether or not the government could be trusted with gun policy.

Morteza Rahmatian, dean of Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, said these types of dialogues support civil and passionate discussions from participants. “People who engage in civil speech and civil listening are helping all of us become more informed members of society,” Rahmatian said.

Faculty share signs of plagiarism CSUF students can be penalized for unintentional cheating. SAMMY JONES Staff Writer

Sharon Sekhon, faculty member from the University Honors Program, said she once caught a student in her online Asian-American women’s history class plagiarizing a book review Sekhon had written. “I started reading it and I’m like ‘This is great writing, wow,’” Sekhon said. “No wonder I thought it was great, it’s my writing. The person was too lazy to even check the name at the top of the book review.” Surveys conducted between 2002 and 2015 by the International Center for Academic Integrity gathered data on cheating among college undergraduates excluding first years, and two year schools. Of the 71,300 undergraduate students who responded to the survey, 39 percent admitted to cheating on tests and 62 percent admitted to cheating on written assignments. According to the Cal State Fullerton Student Conduct website, plagiarism is defined as “the act of taking the work ... of another whether that work is paraphrased or copied in verbatim or near verbatim form and offering it as one’s own without giving credit to that source.”

JOSHUA ARIEF HALIM / DAILY TITAN

Sekhon said there are obvious indicators when a student is not using their own words in a paper. “Often you can tell by the quality of the language and the consistency of the language. You will have one paragraph

that is really elegantly written, with really sophisticated language, and then the following paragraph will be much simpler,” Sekhon said. “I can also tell by use of evidence. I think about the argument they are trying to make.

CSUF has developed its own academic policy involving the issue of plagiarism. Responsibility is left to the faculty member, who can assess a grade penalty for the student. However, the faculty member is required to report the incident to

Student Conduct. From there, the student will have a chance to appeal their grade penalty. After further review, that student may be prone to probation, suspension or even expulsion, according to the Student Conduct website. Frank Russell, communications professor, said students may not even know they are plagiarizing. While the plagiarism may be accidental, the consequences remain the same. “It’s still plagiarism if it’s from someone else, if it’s not your words; it’s still plagiarism regardless of whether you meant it to be plagiarism,” Russell said. CSUF’s Student Conduct website includes tips on how to avoid plagiarism like re-reading over work to make clear what ideas are specifically the student’s and what are not. The key, according to Russell, is attribution. He said it is critical to give credit where it is due and that a lot of trouble can be avoided by simply stating the source of information. “Any fact, any opinion — you need to show where that information came from,” Russell said. “If you are using someone’s exact words, not only do you need to use attribution, but you need to put direct quotes within quotation marks or put exact quotes within quotation marks.”

Board of Directors meeting covers financial benefits and liabilities with the Guzman and Gray Audit Firm.

Associated Students’ employees discuss pensions at Tuesday’s board meeting. ALYSSA LOPEZ Opinion Editor

Associated Students’ board of directors approved the 2017-18 Associated Students’ audit report

prepared by the Guzman and Gray Audit Firm at Tuesday’s board meeting. Issues were reported by Associated Students’ employees about the retirement pension and post-retirement medical insurances that have been provided to them, said Dave Edwards, Associate Students’ executive director. Patrick Guzman, Guzman and

一䔀嘀䔀刀䴀䤀匀匀䄀䜀䄀䤀一⸀

Gray Audit Firm representative, told the board their pensions were safe. “This is the liability that has been projected out over the years. It’s very large and it’s getting bigger all the time,” Guzman said. “So far yours is under control.” An audit report highlights the financial position of an organization by analyzing its liabilities and assets.

Mark Stohs, Cal State Fullerton professor of finance, said liabilities, in a financial sense, are obligations owed to people or institutions who have provided funds or services to a company — in this case, the pension owed to retirees. For the board to control liability Guzman recommended that Associated Students not offer the new employees the pension

as a separate benefit because it can freeze that benefit for other employees. Guzman’s firm has highlighted pensions as a liability in past years. The audit firm told Associated Students it was an ongoing expense “you need to get in front of,” Edwards said. “Smartly, this organization started funding it decades ago,” Edwards said.

Review: ‘Beautiful Boy’ hits hard Upcoming film tells story of the struggle between a father, son and drug abuse. BAILEY JONES

Asst. Lifestyle Editor

Countless young adults feel isolated, misunderstood by the world and estranged from their families during their adolescent development. “Beautiful Boy” explores these ideas as well as how emotions such as these can lead to a lifetime of drug addiction. However, this true story is not your run-of-the-mill drug-addiction flick. Nicholas Sheff, played by Timothée Chalamet, is a troubled teen from a broken yet affectionate family. David Sheff, portrayed by Steve Carell, worries for his son’s future, understanding he no longer knows his beautiful boy who he once knew inside and out. Sheff justifies his son’s strange behavior as a hormonal, teenage phase, but things take a turn for the worse when Nicholas turns to meth to fill his internal void. Young Sheff becomes a stranger to loved ones and eventually himself. The film is the result of two books by David and Nicholas Sheff, telling both perspectives of the same occurence. It seamlessly connects the story of a father and a son with the reality of substance abuse. It explores the internal workings of a family torn apart from the mental — not the physical — loss of a child. Nicholas’ character depicts both the light and dark sides of adolescence. His loving and carefree childhood contradicts the tough and often unrelatable childhoods associated with typical criminals and addicts. However, his character is not without struggle. The main source of his pain stems from the divorce of his parents when he was a toddler, an occurrence many may correlate to their own childhoods.

Still, his relationship with his father is seemingly unbreakable, but the unconditional support of his family leaves him sheltered as adulthood approaches. To Nicholas, pain may seem irrational, but it’s obvious the divorce has left a part of him looking for an escape. He finds this in the band Nirvana and a poem by a depressed author he claims saved his life. Themes of depression, hatred and drug use are planted in his subconscious through his idols, feeding his curiosity and leading him to become trapped. Because of the believability of Nicholas’ portrayal, it cuts even deeper as we see the drugs take over his mind. Nicholas pours out sketches and drawings of dark, misshapen faces. The drawings give David insight into his son’s thoughts. He reads about how his son’s world went from black and white to Technicolor. Nicholas feels the more he uses drugs, the more uncontrollable his actions become, and the harder it is for him to turn back. On the other hand, David’s mind is filled with montages of his son’s childhood filled with days surfing at the beach and picnics at the park. Internally, Nicholas’ gratitude for David is apparent, but after every night of bad decisions, he feels he betrayed the work his father did to give Nicholas a better life than he had. David becomes as helpless as his son after trying and failing to help him. This causes him to realize that, as a father, he can do nothing. “I think (while working on this film) I realized the gravity of a parents love and perhaps torturously their sense of responsibility towards their kid,” Chalamet told Jake Hamilton, host of “Jake’s Takes,” in an interview. The mind of Nicholas is being manipulated by fried nerve endings from meth, all while battling incomprehensible guilt.

KAYLA ALCARAZ / DAILY TITAN

He has to make a decision to pursue love with Lauren, his love interest, at the price of continual drug use, or return to his family and leave his old life, love and habits behind. “Beautiful Boy” has an effective and compelling message regarding addiction, but may be hard to follow for audience members.

The transition of scenes at some points makes it difficult to tell at what point in time the events occur. However, the emphasis on the story itself prevents merely a couple of discrepancies in time from majorly distracting viewers from key concepts. That being said, it is imperative

that the intensity of this poignant film is understood, or it could leave the watcher an emotional wreck. Currently nominated for three awards, the film is another masterpiece from director Felix Van Groeningen and is sure to both warm and break hearts this October.

Louis C.K.: It was never funny Comedian’s shameful behavior cannot be easily accepted.

ALYSSA LOPEZ Opinion Editor

Comedian Louis C.K.’s surprise return to the stage doesn’t deserve the applause it received. Louis C.K admitted to accusations of sexual misconduct by numerous women last November

after the New York Times released a report in which different women described the comedian’s inappropriate behavior. His shameful past behavior needs to be publicized so he’s forced to deal with the consequences of his actions and others in the entertainment industry realize that they can’t get away with everything. Celebrities seem to expect their audience to forgive and forget, and unfortunately that appears to be the case more often than not. Louis C.K. didn’t just make a mistake once; he made the same mistake multiple times. In one of these instances, comedy duo Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov told the New York Times that Louis C.K. invited them to hang out in his hotel room for a drink before bed.

The women said once they were in the room he asked them if he could take out his penis, which they thought was a joke, but he actually did it. The situation would have been different if everyone involved agreed to engage in sexual behavior, but simply inviting a woman or women to hang out does not mean that they agree to do anything sexual. Now that women have spoken up, he has no choice but to admit what he did. It was his only option in maintaining somewhat of a career. Louis C.K. might have gained a little more sympathy had he apologized to those women, but he didn’t. He didn’t seem to even consider what any woman might have felt in that situation, especially female comedians who

may have respected him. After admitting to the accusations, Louis C.K. disappeared from the spotlight for about nine months. His appearance at the Comedy Cellar last month was his first time being back on stage since then. Some women were left feeling uneasy about it. Comedian Rebecca Corry wrote a column for Vulture in which she talked about what she’s experienced since accusing Louis C.K. of sexual assault. In the column she wrote, “The day Louis C.K. asked to masturbate in front of me on the set of the TV show we were shooting, I was put on an unspoken ‘list’ I never asked or wanted to be on. And being on that list has not made my work as a writer, actress, and comedian any easier.”

Louis C.K. can eventually be forgiven, but that forgiveness can only come from the women he’s sexually harassed. Additionally, the situation should not be forgotten, but rather used as an example of what won’t be swept under the rug. After everything, losing his career seems like a justified consequence. Comedian Kathy Griffin took to Twitter Aug. 28 to comment on how easy it was for him to return back into the business, tweeting, “Gosh, does it payoff to be in the boys club...the white boys club.” While his decision to perform on stage once again is something he can choose to do, his audience can also choose to not support his career. This is the response he deserves.

‘Insatiable’ lacks insight Recent Netflix show deserves backlash for bad satire.

SOPHIA ACEVEDO Asst. Opinion Edtior

N Netflix viewers are going to be crying tears — and not of laughter — because the streaming service has decided to renew the gravely controversial show “Insatiable” for a second season. Though the decision has been made and can’t be changed, this isn’t to say that angry or disappointed viewers can cower in defeat. Their untamed anger must continue to be heard, serving as a reminder to the entertainment industry to create material that is thoughtful and introspective, not just something that seems momentarily on trend. Before the show premiered on Aug. 10, it’s trailer met major backlash, portraying a stark image that some believe promoted fat shaming. While many people brought up valid points concerning the trailer’s narrow point of view, ultimately, it must also be acknowledged that these concerns were expressed before the show aired. This helped create pre-conceived interpretations that unfairly represented the material by taking it literally. Lauren Gussis, creator of “Insatiable,” posted on Twitter about her own experiences with an eating disorder, and actress Debby Ryan tweeted about the show being satirical, not a literal interpretation of how body image or eating disorders should be viewed. That being said, once the show premiered, those who were initial skeptics proved to be a little too on the nose regarding the way the season panned out. Anyone who endured the first season knows the show exposed just how misguided the entertainment industry can be regarding large contemporary issues. Another one of Netflix’s shows, “13 Reasons Why” faced similar backlash due to their portrayal of suicide. Similarly, “Insatiable” chose to focus on material relevant to today’s youth, like body image and eating disorders, and used it as their major thematic issue throughout the season. But rather than interpret the issue intelligently, writers involved in the show chose to represent these issues in a simplistic, cookie-cutter manner for the sake of driving plot. Satire is meant to reveal society’s wrongs through humor and absolute ridicule, and when done well, it should carry enough layered commentary that leaves the audience in awe of the writers’ skill. “Insatiable,” however, couldn’t get a better response than an awkward cringe, because VISIT US AT: DAILYTITAN.COM

even in its most serious and raw moments, it has no clue what it’s doing. Heather Osborne-Thompson, professor in the cinema and television arts, said that after watching the first episode, she couldn’t quite gauge what the satire of the show was commenting on. Eating disorders remain a prevalent and dire issue for Americans, with someone dying every 62 minutes as a result from them, according to the Eating Disorders Coalition for Research, Policy & Action. Treatment is often a rare occurrence as fewer than 1 in 5 adolescents receives treatment for their eating disorder, according to a 2011 study by the Genetic Epidemiology Research Branch in the National Institute of Mental Health. “Insatiable” chooses to ignore these statistics and the harmful realities of eating disorders, and dismisses any chance of it’s main character seeking professional help or providing their audience with outside information about eating disorders or mental health. “I was actually surprised in looking at the show that it sort of glossed over the journey of body image,” Osborne-Thompson said. Rather, the creators chose to highlight the issue of body image and eating disorders in their trailer and throughout their show without bringing up consequential or serious matters. At the very least, the writers could have chosen to analyze old-age stereotypes and historical trends of body image through the character by using satire and irony, but they couldn’t even bother to do that. This also isn’t Netflix’s first show regarding body image or eating disorders. Last July, the film “To the Bone” was released on the streaming service, and while it certainly wasn’t perfect as a comedy and drama, it had a much more well-rounded approach to understanding the emotional journey and consequences of eating disorders. While Netflix will surely continue to promote any show on its streaming service that gets viewed — no matter the amount of controversy — this doesn’t mean the second season of “Insatiable” shouldn’t undergo some changes. Producers, writers and actors of the show “Insatiable,” can continue their ridiculous rampage and stir more hatred, but if they want their show to be less about backlash and more about hype, they need to truly reconsider their methods of portraying serious dilemmas like eating disorders while also being able to carry a good laugh. Angered fans and critics aren’t going to stop their remarks any time soon, but if the writers and actors can step down from their superfluous inability to accept constructive criticism to better the show’s satirical elements, then perhaps the second season of “Insatiable” can have some form of redeemable qualities to it.

Column: Six teams that can win the Cup These franchises have set themselves up to take the Stanley Cup home in 2019. SAMMY JONES Staff Writer

As the defending champion Washington Capitals’ 2018 Stanley Cup parade and madness finally concludes and the preseason gets underway, fans and teams alike optimistically proclaim that 2019 is their year, and the Stanley Cup rightfully belongs to their city. To the dismay of most fanbases, Las Vegas might have differing opinions on who gets to walk away with the coveted trophy. According to vegasinsider. com, the Tampa Bay Lightning are the early favorite to win the Stanley Cup at 8/1. The Toronto Maple Leafs, who had a busy offseason, are a close second, opening up at 9/1. Unfortunately for all those Ottawa Senators fans out there, Vegas has its odds at 200/1. But, after doing my own research and looking at all 31 rosters, I have drawn my own conclusions. I have picked three potential winners from the Eastern and Western conferences and a Stanley Cup champion. Eastern Conference: Toronto Maple Leafs (9/1) The Maple Leafs made one of the biggest moves of the hockey offseason by signing center John Tavares to a 7-year, $77-million deal. Originally born in Canada, he comes over from the New York Islanders after a 37goal season a year ago. He will be paired with one of the most dynamic and young stars in the NHL, Auston Matthews. With those two manning the center of the ice in 2019, Toronto is a favorite to win the Stanley Cup. Pittsburgh Penguins (12/1) The Pittsburgh Penguins finally enjoyed some rest. After winning back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, the Penguins simply looked tired last year. It’s hard to bet against this team when their roster includes Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel. Jake Guentzel stepped into his role last year and contributed 20 goals for the Penguins. If they can get a similar year from him and consistent play from goalie Matt Murray, the Penguins will be tough to beat.

DANIELLE EVANGELISTA / DAILY TITAN

Washington Capitals (14/1) Despite not being a heavy favorite in Vegas, the Washington Capitals bring back most of their championship team from a year ago. They were finally able to beat the division rival Penguins in a playoff series. With superstar Alex Ovechkin and a supporting cast that includes players like T.J. Oshie and Nicklas Backstrom still on the roster, the Capitals are poised for another playoff run. Their toughest challenge is overcoming the championship hangover and play their best hockey all year. If they can do that, Washington, D.C. may need to make plans for another parade. Western Conference: Nashville Predators (12/1)

The Predators were the runners-up in 2017, losing to the Penguins in the final. After another solid regular season last year, they suffered an early exit in the second round of the playoffs at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets. But things are looking up in 2019. Nashville will rely heavily on Pekka Rinne, recipient of the Vezina Trophy, an award that recognizes the best player at their position, and defenseman P.K. Subban. A healthy Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen may bring the Predators the final push they need to get over the hump and hoist the Stanley Cup. Las Vegas Golden Knights (12/1) An expansion team that hockey experts wrote off from the

beginning of the season, the Golden Knights had a historic first season. After dominating the regular season, they won the Western Conference and lost in the Stanley Cup Final. But they are primed for success once again. They signed star goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to a three-year extension worth an average of $7 million a year. The loss of forward James Neal impacts the Knights, but acquiring Max Pacioretty in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens lessens the blow. Don’t be surprised to see the Golden Knights make another push at the cup. San Jose Sharks (12/1) The Sharks are proving to their fans they are in win-now mode. They recently made a

D A I LY T I TA N FEST

huge splash by acquiring twotime Norris Trophy winner (an award recognizing excellence in defensive positioning) Erik Karlsson in a blockbuster deal with the Ottawa Senators. Karlsson will join a potent defensive unit on the Sharks, which includes Brent Burns. The Sharks should be able to go head-tohead with the league’s best scorers and rely on their defense to bring them to the promised land. Stanley Cup prediction: The Toronto Maple Leafs will defeat the San Jose Sharks in six games and win the 2019 Stanley Cup. With the moves the front office made to improve an already talented roster, the Maple Leafs will be too difficult to stop on the offensive end.

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer (3-5-1) will finish its fourgame road trip Sept. 21 at the University of San Diego (3-3-1) before hosting the University of Denver (3-3-2). The Titans have lost their

two previous games by one goal each. “We’ve given up some pretty soft goals and we want to correct those wrongs,” said Demian Brown, Titans head coach. Defender Nano Oronoz sat out of practice on Wednesday but Brown said she will play on Friday. Oronoz leads the team in shots with 28 total and 10 shots on goal. Oronoz said she goes into each game with an attacking mindset to score goals for the team. “I give credit to the team in

getting me the ball and getting me in those positions. You can’t score unless you shoot, so I’m just trying to get more shots each game and to maximize my opportunities to get another goal,” Oronoz said. Oronoz leads Fullerton with four goals. Midfielder Kristen Swales trails her with three. Midfielder Samantha McKenna totaled six shots during the road trip. In the six games prior, she only attempted three. McKenna scored her first goal

of the season against Arizona Sept. 14. “I’m trying to get myself more involved up top. Sometimes, I’ll lag back and think the team has this one, but I’ve been putting effort forward and realizing that I should be a goal-scorer,” McKenna said. The Toreros are 2-1 in their last three games. Midfielder Milan Moses has scored in four of San Diego’s last five games. They’ve won every match she has scored in except its Sept. 9

game against USC. CSUF returns home for a threegame homestand starting Sept. 23 against the University of Denver. Pioneers midfielder Hannah Adler has scored in each of the last two games and registered seven shots in the last three games. “We’re working on our chemistry. It’s been a long time since we’ve actually clicked, but we’re working on our outside mids and our inside mids, connecting the ball and getting the flow of the game again like how we did against Auburn,” McKenna said.
