Changes to curriculum and requirements to graduate for the California State University system were met with backlash by the CSU Academic Senate which said that the changes were made without consultation or input. ASCSU Senator Jon Bruschke mentioned the possibility of the Senate disbanding in protest.

Lack of consultation on executive orders breeds discontent. LAUREN HOFER Staff Writer

When the Academic Senate of the California State University reconvened at the end of summer, senators were shocked to find that revisions and executive orders had been made to statewide curriculum and graduation requirements without their consultation. “We’re sitting there thinking ‘Wow, you should have consulted with us.’ The curriculum

is up to faculty as a whole, and we need more input,” said Mark Stohs, Ph.D., Cal State Fullerton finance professor who serves on the ASCSU. Normally the Academic Senate would work together with CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White to come up with ideas before sending executive orders back to the campuses for feedback and eventual creation of statewide policy, said ASCSU Senator Jon Bruschke, Ph.D., and CSUF human communication professor. “The phrase that the faculty uses is ‘shared governance,’” Bruschke said. This shared governance never happened and some

Senate members are considering taking a dramatic stance in response. “The statement made on the floor of the Senate was, ‘This is such an egregious bypassing

a possibility. “People, I’m sure, are thinking about it, and some of the faculty are probably upset enough that they’ll argue as long as they can,” Stohs said.

The statement made on the floor of the Senate was, ‘This is such an egregious bypassing of our functions that maybe disbanding in protest would be appropriate.’

“

The Anaheim Fire & Rescue Department is expecting to have Canyon Fire 2 fully contained by Tuesday, Oct. 17. The fire has spread across 9,217 acres but is currently 90 percent contained, according to the final incident update posted on the department’s Twitter account Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. “While crews saw a few flareups and hot spots, the wind created fewer problems than were possible,” read a tweet from Anaheim Fire & Rescue on Oct. 14. Canyon Fire 2 Public Information Officer Mike Yeun of the Orange County Fire Authority said the Santa Ana winds “decreasing tremendously” Tuesday helped firefighters contain the blaze. There was also an influx of firefighters from all over Southern California coming to assist. Yeun said there were over 1,600 firefighters tackling Canyon Fire 2 at its peak and as of Sunday, there were still several hundred working to contain it.

On the issue of shared governance, Bruschke said the CSU Chancellor’s Office has remained quiet. “The Chancellor’s Office is

more or less acting like none of that has happened and is just saying we’re going forward,” Bruschke said. The Chancellor’s Office was unable to be reached for comment. Bruschke said the changes made by the Chancellor’s Office were twofold. Executive Order 1100 was revised, changing the general education requirement to 48 units systemwide, allowing general education requirements to fulfill or double count for major requirements and eliminating history section D2 of general education requirements.

Car show celebrates Hispanic heritage Titans

earn their first tie

Impressive lowriders and Chevys are displayed at CSUF. RAYMOND PELAYO Staff Writer

Vintage eye-popping cars, hydraulics and Aztec-inspired art are all aspects of Chicano traditions passed down for generations. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Mesa Cooperativa brought these visions to life in the “Exposición” car show at the CSUF central Quad Thursday afternoon. Mesa Cooperativa’s archivist Priscilla Mancilla said the show was meant to challenge stigmas found within the Chicana/o, Latina/o community. “Often times, perceptions of Chicana/o, Latina/o car clubs is that they are gangsters. It’s very negative,” Mancilla said. “However, it’s a big misconception because it takes a lot of financial stability to create these cars.” Mancilla said car owners and clubs also host fundraisers and holiday donation drives. “The reason we had the (car show) was to bring awareness about our identities. Historically, Chicano cars were a way to identify yourself as a rider, socially

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer earned its first tie of conference play in a 1-1 draw against UC Davis. The Titans controlled the tempo for the majority of the match against the Aggies, but a slew of controversial calls shifted momentum in favor of the visitors. “It’s good to get a point,” said Titans goalkeeper Morgan Bertsch. “Points are good anywhere in conference, but we missed out on two extra points today.” The majority of the first half showcased the Titans on attack. Whenever the Aggies maneuvered into the teeth of the defense, the Titans quickly forced the ball out of trouble through communication and teamwork. SEE DRAW

According to the incident update put out by Anaheim Fire & Rescue, 1,000 structures were threatened by the Canyon Fire 2. Yeun said residents can help prevent future fire damage by clearing out the brush around their homes.

“I don’t anticipate any change but as long as things are still going the way they’ve been going, we’re still on target for the 17th,” Yeun said. “Now we’re just cleaning everything up, putting out the hot spots and heading toward 100 percent containment.” The rugged and steep terrain of Anaheim Hills made it harder to contain the fire, Yeun said. The use of aircrafts dropping water and retardants throughout the week helped get things more under control. One thousand structures have been threatened by the fire, but only 25 have been destroyed and 55 have been damaged with only four reported injuries, according to the final incident report. The

report also stated that “all residential areas have been repopulated.” “We evacuated over 5,000 homes on Monday. Tuesday, the majority of those homes were repopulated so within 36 hours of the fire starting, we were able to get most of the people back home,” Yeun

because the vegetation has been removed and there is not much substance in the soil to keep things intact. However, Yeun said residents can take precautions to avoid further damages during the seemingly yearround fire season. “(Citizens) can be firefight-

those who take their time to clear the brush definitely give them a better chance for their house to have less damages in a fire.” State Route 241 was closed due to the fire, but some northbound lanes and the State Route 91 connector to Santiago Canyon Road and Chapman Avenue were partially reopened Oct. 13, according to a traffic advisory sent out by the California Department of Transportation. The state Route 241 southbound off-ramp and northbound on-ramp on Santiago Canyon Road remain closed. “Although some lanes are open, please drive slowly where traffic lanes are reduced, work crews are visible and fire crews use the facility to access fire-related areas,” the traffic advisory read.

NEWS 3 CSU: Academic Senate omitted from decision MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2017

The general education requirement at CSUF stands at 51 units. Executive Order 1110 was also put in place on Aug. 2, 2017. It removed standardized testing in math and English for high school seniors and the subsequent remedial college courses that those tests placed students in. Both orders are intended to bring “equitable opportunity for student success” across CSU campuses and ensure more efficient graduation rates according to an Aug. 23, 2017 memorandum from White. The policies will be effective as of fall 2018. The ASCSU and 11 of the 23 CSU campuses have passed resolutions stating that they either do not

support the executive orders, or at least need more time to implement them. Cal State Northridge resolved to do away with the executive orders altogether, while CSUF’s resolution states that “the timeline for implementation will be impossible to meet based on CSUF policy, procedures and traditions.” On Friday, Oct. 12, Executive Vice Chancellor Loren Blanchard responded to these resolutions with a memorandum that allotted more time for the implementation of Executive Order 1100 but only by specific request and in small allotments. An FAQ sheet from the Chancellor’s Office stated “it would be difficult to justify delaying the benefits afforded by these policy changes,

which increase opportunities for student success and facilitate efficient degree completion.” Brent Foster, Ph.D., CSUF interim director of Undergraduate Studies & General Education, said he agrees. “I believe that we have

of Executive Order 1100,” Foster said. However, Foster said he knows how vast the changes will be. “It’s a complex

implementation that involves many moving parts. Some of those moving parts involve rewriting policies. Some of those parts involve rewriting our catalogue, rewriting student and faculty handbooks, shuffling and moving courses around,” Foster said. The shift in general education courses, along with the removal of remedial courses, could potentially result in a loss of jobs for non-tenure track lecturers, specifically in the English, History and potentially in the Math departments, Bruschke said. “It could just mean when someone leaves they’re not going to rehire in that position. That’s up to departments,” Stohs said. Bruschke said other faculty concerns about the executive orders include students

not experiencing the full breadth of education and the potential downsizing of smaller departments like ethnic studies and women and gender studies. Some faculty across the state believe the executive orders have the potential to actually slow student graduation rates. “The big problem is that this was done without consultation with any campus in the system and its impacts are potentially enormous,” Bruschke said. In this instance, the campuses are strongly united in their opposition. “We think that virtually all of the campuses will go on record having a resolution saying that minimally, the executive orders should be delayed at least a year for implementation,” Stohs said.

Expo encourages more women in STEM fields Google, SpaceX among groups hosting booths for Girl Scouts to visit. NICOLETTE BELK Staff Writer

Companies like Google, SpaceX, Microsoft and the Aquarium of the Pacific were swarmed by about 450 Girl Scouts alongside parents and volunteers at CSUF’s second annual STEM Expo in the Titan Student Union Sunday. The College of Engineering and Computer Science worked with the Girl Scouts of Orange County and the CSUF chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery-Women in Computing (ACM-W) to organize the expo, which featured interactive experiences for the

scouts to enjoy. “Essentially, what we want to show them is that there are lots of different ways to be a scientist or to be an engineer, and there are lots of different pathways to find your way into those fields,” said Beth Harnick-Shapiro, the adjunct ACM-W faculty advisor for computer science. A majority of the Girl Scouts who attended the expo were fourth to ninth graders, who visited booths between 1 and 5 p.m. to take part in hands-on activities like experiencing virtual reality with Google and building robots to complete tasks with the Girl Scouts’ robotics program. About 50 high school-aged scouts were also able to go on tours of labs on campus. “We opened up our registration for this event at 10 a.m. a few months ago, and by 6 p.m.

the spots were all sold out,” said BJ Watanabe, volunteer manager for the Girl Scouts of Orange County. “It shows the demand, and we have over 100 girls easily on the waitlist.” Nancy Nygren, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Orange County, said the yearly expo is meant to open up a new world to young girls because there is a shortage of females in the math and science industries. “The statistic is that girls typically turn away from that passion by the eighth grade,” Nygren said. “You look at what’s happening here. We’re changing girls minds about that. Some of these girls will be our future scientists, and doctors and explorers.” Organizers hoped to give the young girls in attendance a positive experience with STEM fields, even if they feel

like it’s not the field of study they’re interested in. “We want people to understand that, yes, sometimes you have to revisit something or you need to grapple with it a little bit more but through that struggle, you can come out the other side stronger and better,” Harnick-Shapiro said. “You don’t have to necessarily know something initially by yourself. Part of that struggle and part of that failure is an acceptable component of learning part of STEM.” Watanabe said organizers hope to have an even bigger turnout next year. “You go around the room and you talk to everybody, both the girls and the volunteers here, and they’re so excited about seeing the future of women in STEM,” Nygren said.

A continuous flow of students stopped by the Quad to look at the cars. Chevrolet Bel Airs and Impalas were provided by car clubs, one of which was the Los Angeles-based Imperials Car Club. Throughout the car show, DJ Funk Freaks played classic funk tunes from artists like the BarKays and Rick James. Mancilla said Funk Freaks was their connection to the car club scene. Thursday marked the first time Mesa Cooperativa held “Exposición,” which was inspired by the annual car shows in Chicano Park located in San Diego. “It’s really cool seeing our culture just come together and have a car show,” said

It’s really rare to see these cars anyway, so it’s really cool they brought it here,” Hoang said. Valencia said Mesa Cooperativa is thinking of adding food vendors and more lowrider owners next year. “We were talking to faculty and staff, and some of the staff even had their own lowriders,” Valencia said. “We just didn’t know, so we couldn’t network.” Mancilla said she hoped the event helped represent the various stories within Hispanic culture. “It’s a lot about sharing your narrative because even within our Chicanx/Latinx culture, there’s so many narratives and so many subcultures within it. It’s time to appreciate all of them,” Mancilla said.

CSUF students unveil realities of domestic violence ANITA HUOR

Audience members watched intently as students shared their inspiring testimonies while others stopped in their tracks after hearing powerful poetry verses authored by survivors of violence. “Every bruise you gave me, has become a battle shield. Every scar you gave me, has regenerated stronger skin,” was an anonymous survivor’s words recited by a peer educator. The CSUF community gathered for Survivor Speak Oct. 11 in the Housing Piazza to provide a sense of security and safety for those who have faced domestic violence, stalking or sexual assault. This event was hosted by the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center and co-hosted by Housing and Residential Engagement and the Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. to educate, spread awareness and empower survivors of violence. During the event, brave survivors discussed their experiences to encourage and inform the community that they are not alone and help is always available. The survivors aimed to create an

environment that made it clear that their experiences are unacceptable. Some peer educators were fillers who went on stage in between the survivors’ stories. They read statistics, which shed a light on how endemic these acts of violence are and how difficult it can be to speak up. “60 percent of acquaintance rapes on college campuses occur in casual or steady dating relationships,” according to one statistic shared from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Several tabling activities,

between a healthy and unhealthy relationship. By going to each table and collecting six signatures, students had the chance to be entered into a raffle drawing and win prizes like CSUF gear. A new inclusion for this year’s event was a wall titled #TheyDontHitYouBut, which was dedicated to emphasizing emotional, verbal and psychological abuse, because it often goes undiscussed. Students wrote down their experiences starting with the line “They don’t hit you but…” on the front wall. On the back of the wall they wrote supporting messages on heart-shaped paper to remind survivors and victims of their bravery. In support of survivors, volunteers were also present to help out at the event “Personally, it’s being the voice of people who don’t have a voice, and creating awareness and touching someone that is maybe going through something and letting them know there are resources,” said LTA President Crystal Sagastume. By having events like Survivor Speak, the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center aims to highlight these ongoing issues.

Review: ‘Superstar Saga’ updates classic ‘Mario & Luigi’ remake is beautiful to explore but its battles are boring. JASON ROCHLIN News Editor

After 14 years, the Game Boy Advance classic “Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga” has returned to the limelight with a Nintendo 3DS remake. Despite having issues with its updated battle system, the remake presents a gorgeous, enthralling revamp of an older title with graphics and music that perfectly create a vivid and diverse world to explore. However, there are a number of things that fall short compared to the original. “Superstar Saga” follows titular heroes Mario and Luigi as they travel from the Mushroom Kingdom to the neighboring Beanbean Kingdom after an evil witch named Cackletta steals Princess Peach’s to use the sound of a pure soul to awaken a magical wish-granting Beanstar. Once the duo crosses the border into Beanbean, they’re pulled from different battles and tasks in seemingly unending succession before finally encountering the evil witch, but it’s only after that their adventure truly begins. The main story of the “Superstar Saga” remake is a carbon copy of the original game, even down to the most minuscule bits of dialogue. Only a few exceptions like short tutorials for additional features were not present in the original, but the game’s brilliant comedic writing is modernized extremely well and remains an enjoyable experience for series veterans and newcomers alike.

This lack of added content is somewhat mitigated by the new Bowser’s Minions gamemode, which follows a gullible and dimwitted, but naturally inspiring Captain Goomba as he assembles a small army of classic Mario enemies (Koopas, Bob-ombs, Boos, etc.) to search for their boss after he’s separated from the main heroes at the borderlands. Bowser’s Minions is an interesting distraction from the main game that fills plot holes from the original game, but the rock, paper, scissors-style army building gameplay feels wasted by a lack of interactivity. The fights Captain Goomba and his units engage in are conducted almost totally passively, which leaves the extra story tidbits hidden behind a boring experience to slog through. The main game “Superstar Saga,” is typical of a role-playing game in that it is divided into two primary experiences: Overworld exploration, where Mario and Luigi traverse the small but jam-packed Beanbean Kingdom and use abilities they learn throughout their journey to solve puzzles, and battling with enemies and bosses strewn throughout the land. In the overworld portions of the game, the protagonists travel together and are controlled by different buttons. The original game had whichever brother was in front act with the A button while the brother in back utilized the B button but in the remake, Mario is always A while Luigi is always B. This change can result in some mistimed actions, but switching abilities is easier because everything is selectable from the bottom screen of the 3DS. Other additions to overworld exploration, like using the X

button to jump — even when other abilities are selected — and a new markable mini map make the game more streamlined and accessible to players. However, some elements of the game are trivialized by these additions because they were designed for the constraints of a more simple control scheme. The remake’s visuals are stunning. Backgrounds are full of detail and vivid colors that make even somewhat silly things like the giant green bean pods that line the Beanbean Kingdom, feel more alive and real. The capabilities of the 3DS compared to the GBA are on full display in areas like

Hoohoo Village and Bowser’s Castle, which have things like waterfalls and lava effects that are pretty enough to stare at for hours. The only real downside to the visual design of the 3DS remake is the fact that you can only play the game in 2-D, which feels like a missed opportunity. The music in “Superstar Saga” varies widely, and each piece fits its locale perfectly, be it the quick beat and mysterious undertones of Chucklehuck Woods that evoke the feeling of something teeming with bugs or the sea shanty that becomes muted and slows down as the brothers traverse the ocean floor in the Oho Oasis.

Though the songs are short loops, they’re all catchy and head bobbing, made better by the jump from charming chiptune creations to more orchestral, complex pieces that add more depth and character to each overworld area. Despite all of these improvements, the remake falls short in one major respect: Battles. Changes to things like the special combination Bros. Attack make battles more streamlined and easy to understand – arguably too easy. On top of this, fights feel more drawn out due to the more complex animations of the detailed character sprites. Even if battling feels more tedious and tiring, almost

all other fronts of the game — from visuals and audio to gameplay mechanics — received massive overhauls that update the game beautifully for a modern audience. Combine this with writing that is clever and uproariously funny, improvements for player convenience and an easy to consume (if not short) 20-hour run time, and this remake is well worth its $40 price tag for both Mario veterans and players who haven’t experienced this 14-year-old adventure. However, it is worth noting that the original version has its own charms and a somewhat harder overall experience that makes it just as fun, if not possibly more fun, to return to.

8 OPINION Mom and pop stores offer more than just goods

MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2017

The impact made by small businesses comes from social media.

GENE PIETRAGALLO Staff Writer

Most people fail to realize how impactful small businesses are to local communities. And the small businesses are able to thanks to social media. Media platforms like Instagram are possibly the biggest and greatest technological influence that help small businesses reach many people which, in turn, provides more than just goods and services for the community. Small businesses like Afters Ice Cream have gained a steady following promoting products on Instagram and attracting new customers on a scale that keeps its doors open and leaves room for growth. Afters Ice Cream, coowned by CSUF alumnus Scott Ngheim, has reached 273,000 followers on Instagram since its first store opened in 2014. With posts averaging between 3,000 and 5,000 likes, Afters Ice Cream is the perfect example of a small business using social media to keep clientele updated and interactive. Not only are small businesses thriving in the social media age, but they’re also providing a large amount of jobs. Small businesses in the U.S. employed 57.9 million people of the private workforce in 2014, according to the Statistics of U.S. Businesses. “The majority of jobs created in the U.S. actually comes from the small business sector and not from the giant corporations. The giant corporations clearly

Small businesses like Afters Ice Cream are able to connect with locals in the community thanks to social media platforms like Instagram. Locals fail to realize that mom and pop stores offer more than high-quality products. They also give back to the community by providing more job opportunities.

create the most sales dollars and profits but when you look at the job opportunity, it’s really the small business that’s in charge,” said John Jackson, CSUF director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at Mihaylo College of Business and Economics. Resources like Patreon, Squarespace, eBay and Etsy, along with proper social media marketing, provide

a promotional platform for businesses that makes it easier to keep up than ever before. Any seller can create their own website or online shop with minimal computer literacy, a luxury once unheard of in the business world. “I think the internet really is the game changer that allows even mom and pops, that are able to find specific

niches and inefficiencies, to compete just as well if not better than some of these larger stores,’’ said CSUF management professor Gerard Beenen. Small businesses not only provide job opportunities, but better quality products as well, which many consumers look for and bigger retail giants like Walmart overlook.

Mass production is a response to the public’s demands, but the outcome is usually lackluster and cheaply produced. Compare a Walmart freezer-cake to a local bakery’s handcrafted cake made with fresh ingredients, and the difference is plain as day. The mom and pop stores of today are not given the recognition they deserve

despite what they give back to the community. Jobs and quality goods are just a few ways they repay the community. With social media, it seems that small businesses have the potential to be efficient enough on their own and perhaps even continue to independently sustain themselves in the foreseeable future.

Titans drop 10th straight match KATHRYNE PADILLA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton volleyball stretched its losing streak to 10 games over the weekend but was able to find a few positives despite all the futility. The Titans lost 3-1 to the UC Irvine Anteaters Friday. Left outside hitter Cady Francis — who stepped in as the libero against UCI — recorded her fourth-highest dig total of the season, while outside hitter Meagan Carlson led the team with nine kills and middle blocker Summer Kerins offered seven for the Titans. Fullerton dropped its second match of the weekend as well, falling 3-2 to the UC Davis Aggies Saturday. It was the first time the Titans forced a fifth set since the Indiana State Tournament Sept. 15. “We recognized the feeling of losing, and we’re ready to fight it,” said outside hitter Madeline Schneider. “We’re taking it head on and we understand that after every failure, there’s something to take from it.”

The Titans had 12 total kills to secure the first set 25-19. The Aggies returned to win the second and third sets (25-22, 25-19) of the match to push a fourth set. UC Davis dropped to a .077 attacking percentage in the fourth set when Fullerton took command of the court with its .500 percentage. The Titans made just one error as part of a comeback to win their second set of the match 25-16.

“

I can’t do my job unless the rest of my team does. I can’t take credit for that. My career high reflects my team.

“

Fullerton falls to UC Irvine 3-1 and UC Davis 3-2 over the weekend.

Madeline Schneider Titans outside hitter “As a coach, you want them to have as little errors as possible,” said Titans Head Coach Ashley Preston. “We really controlled that set, and I hope to continue to control sets like we did in the fourth.” The fifth set was an intense battle as Fullerton trailed 8-2 until the teams switched sides. The Titans saw it as the opportunity to regain control, which led to extra points in the set

as they tied twice (14-14, 16-16) before being unable to complete the comeback, falling 18-16. “We fought back,” Preston said. “We really came back and fought and tied it. If we really focus on minimizing our errors in the fifth set, then the outcome would be us winning.”

New Career Highs Francis set a new career high with 30 digs in the match. She also had her fifth-highest dig total of the season. Aniya Henry offered the Titans six block assists in the match, which was also a new career best for the middle blocker. Schneider achieved a new career high against CSU Bakersfield Oct. 3 by racking up 25 kills. In the more recent match against the Aggies, Schneider surpassed her record again, producing 26 of the Titan’s 60 total kills. “I definitely can’t do my job unless the rest of my team does, and they helped me out a lot. I can’t take credit for that,” Schneider said. “My career high reflects on my whole team.” Neilsen’s standout performance Outside hitter Katelyn Neilsen made her starting debut for the first time this

season in the match against the Aggies. Her growth throughout the season in practice was noticed, leading Preston to add her to the lineup. “She is just really doing good things with the ball, changing direction and hitting the ball off the blocker’s hand,” Preston said. Neilsen was the second-highest scorer in the match, providing the Titans with 12 points from

the 12 kills she successfully completed. Neilsen ended with a .136 hitting percentage which contributed to the team’s overall .235 percentage. Sibling Rivalry Titans setter Nastassja Bowman went headto-head with her younger sister, UC Davis setter Paloma Bowman, over the weekend. Nastassja Bowman

Appearing in 14 games this season, midfielder Kaycee Hooveris tied for third top scorer on the TItans with three goals alongside Tala Haddad and Samantha McKenna. Hoover has tallied a total of 13 shots this season which averaging a shooting percentage of .231.

Draw: Fullerton to focus on minor skills CONTINUED FROM

A few prior corner kicks came up empty handed, but CSUF did not abandon its game plan. The team earned a 1-0 lead after a header from Kaycee Hoover found the back of the net thanks to an Atlanta Primus corner. UC Davis only managed to get one shot off in the first half. “I think we play really, really well in our shape,” Bertsch said of her defense. “Our shape and our discipline and our fitness definitely helps me out.”

The match got scrappy after the second-half kicked off, with the momentum shifting after Titans midfielder Samantha Koemans found herself exchanging shoves with Aggies midfielder Ari Zamora. Both received yellow cards for the altercation, which paved the way for more physicality. The referees were put on alert when Aggies midfielder Mandy McKeegan collided with Bertsch in the goalie’s box after she had secured possession of the ball. Bertsch was noticeably roughed up on the play but

had little time to catch her breath. Five minutes later, an Aggies shot pinballed off Bertsch’s body, the crossbar and goal post before Titans midfielder Jessica Simonian was given a red card for a deliberate handball in the goalie’s box, forcing the Titans to continue the match one player down as the officials awarded the Aggies a penalty kick. The action forced the referees to stop the match to sort out the mess and communicate their decision to the players and coaches.

Whatever the reason, Bertsch was just grateful for the breather. “I took a second for myself because I was a little beaten up throughout the second half,” Bertsch said. “I took a second with the ref, telling him ‘Just give me a sec, give me a sec.’” Just when the Aggies thought they were back in the game, Bertsch dove in the direction of the ensuing free kick and punched the ball out of bounds. “As a goalkeeper, I think everything comes down to those types of moments. You

have to be able to make a split-second save,” Bertsch said. “I watch film all the time, and (Titans Assistant Head Coach Michael Thomas) and I discussed penalty kicks at the start of the game. She put it right where I knew she was gonna put it and I came away with it.” The pressure during the penalty was no problem for Bertsch, but patching the holes of an absent player was too tall a task for the fatigued Titans. Following the penalty save, forward Mahlah Catline found the back of the net courtesy of a corner kick

from by McKeegan. Yellow cards continued to plague the game following the goal. Titans forward Sarah Fajnor and defender Nano Oronoz picked up fouls, but neither harmed nor helped the team’s effort to secure a victory. Neither side could scratch in overtime, so when the final whistle sounded, the scoreboard still read 1-1. “I’m personally not satisfied,” Koemans said. “We knew that in the Big West, we got to make things happen. I think we fell short on the little things.”

MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2017

The Titans now hold an overall record of 7-6-2. KATHYRNE PADILLA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer fell 2-1 against the UC Riverside Highlanders after an early mistake left them playing from behind Saturday. Just minutes into the match, Fullerton was called for a handball within its 18yard box resulting in a penalty kick for UCR. Highlanders forward Olli Pirinen got the ball past Titans goalie Paul-Andre Guerin to put UCR ahead by one. After falling behind early in the match, the Titans attempted to get back in the game by taking 11 shots in the half, four of which were on goal, compared to just three shots total for UCR. CSUF racked up seven fouls in the first half, while the Highlanders collected 10 and a yellow card before the period ended with the Titans still looking to come back from the 1-0 deficit. The aggression didn’t lighten up in the second half. In the first ten minutes after the break the Titans were whistled for two fouls, and the Highlanders were called for five. The Titans got a break in the 57th minute when forward Samuel Goni sent in a goal to tie the game 1-1. The intensity increased

once both teams were even, and two yellow cards were given to UCR’s Alan Alcantara and David Cabral.

CSUF’s Michael Lopez also received a yellow card, his fifth of the season. With the match set to enter

overtime as the final 10 minutes approached, UCR’s James Alewine III completed a one-touch shot in the

80th minute to take control of the match yet again. When CSUF was unable to mount another comeback, the

game ended with the Titans dropping their third match of conference play and falling to 2-3-1 in the Big West.

58 points and a team time of 1:31:01, beating the UC Irvine Anteaters by 14 points. In the lead for the men, sophomore Jorge Sanchez finished in seventh place with a time of 18:04.3. One place behind Sanchez, fellow Titan junior Samuel Pimentel finished with a time of 18:07.8. In third place for the team, freshman Jacob Smith finished with a time of 18:09.9, earning him 11th place overall. The women finished with 67 points and a team time of 1:29:11 in the 5K race. The team fell behind first-place UC Santa Barbara by 17 points. Sophomore Sam Huerta led her squad with a fifth-place finish and a time of 17:27.4. About two seconds later, freshman Wendi Leos finished in seventh place. In third place for the Titans, freshman Trinity Ruelas finished with a time of 18:00.2, which earned her 15th place overall.

“It was definitely our best team race since the Mark Covert Classic,” Titans Head Coach John Elders told Cal State Fullerton Sports Media. “We’re getting healthier, and we seem to be coming together at a good time, which is great. Despite some subpar weather conditions, we still did well.” Last season, both teams placed second in the UCR Highlander Invitational. The men finished with a team score of 51 and an overall time of 1:31:34, improving upon last season’s time by 33 seconds. The women improved by 14 seconds, after finishing last year with a team score of 54 and a combined time of 1:29:25. The Titans return home Oct. 20 at 5 p.m. to host the Titan Invitational at the Titan Track Complex, the last race before the Big West Conference Championship Oct. 28.
