Deadly shooting on Las Vegas strip At least 20 are dead and upward of 100 are injured after a shooting outside the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas Sunday night. DAILY TITAN STAFF

At least 20 people are dead and 100 injured after a shooter opened fire on a concert from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, said Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo during a press briefing

following the incident. The gunfire was met with a massive police presence at the Las Vegas Strip. The University Medical Center of Southern Nevada alone was treating “approximately 50 patients,” while

two had died with “several” in critical condition, hospital spokesperson Danita Cohen told the Daily Titan in an email. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) confirmed that

one suspect — who Lombardo said the police believed was a “lone wolf-type actor” — is dead, and an active investigation is underway as of this writing. SEE VEGAS

Titans show unity amid national protests

HANNAH MILLER / DAILY TITAN

Various CSUF athletes share their opinions on the #TakeTheKnee demonstrations and how they will offer support to one another. YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA KAILA CRUZ Sports Editor, Asst. Sports Editor

Stadiums have become the new place of debate as professional athletes have used their platforms to highlight controversies that surround the country’s current

political and social climate. Last Sunday, 204 of the 1,696 NFL players protested during the national anthem after only six had protested the week prior. These

protests took many forms: A bent knee, a raised fist, linked arms or even staying in the locker room. They were all met with harsh criticism. Some NFL teams took a different, safer approach. Saints quarterback Drew Brees tweeted that his team “would kneel in solidarity prior to the national anthem and stand together during the anthem.” While these protests have firmly grasped the attention

of the country, they haven’t carried over to Cal State Fullerton’s athletic teams so far. CSUF volleyball and men’s and women’s soccer teams have all entered Big West conference play, meaning the Titans will not only have to face bigger opponents, but they will also have more media attention. But do the Titans plan to use the extra spotlight to protest? CSUF women’s volleyball

Head Coach Ashley Preston said she and her players aren’t sure if they’ll participate in the protests. “We had a discussion and we talked about it as a team. We understand and respect everyone’s differences. So if you see our team linking arms and some have their arms in different ways, that’s them expressing their right and expressing what they believe,” Preston said. Preston added that she wouldn’t stop her

players from expressing themselves. “I think in history, peaceful protest has always been regarded as respectful. So I believe in what they’re doing,” Preston said. “As long as it’s in the realm of what it means to be peaceful and the First Amendment and freedom of speech, then that is within their discretion of whatever they want to do.” SEE ANTHEM 8

‘Frankenstein’ electrifies Homeland Security broadens search

New adaptation brings depth to its story and elevates its origins. NICHOLE TORRES Asst. News Editor

As soon as electricity courses through the veins of the Creature, the Young Theatre is immersed in a new take on the genre-defining world of “Frankenstein.” Set within the mind of author Mary Shelley in 1816, the CSUF original adaptation challenges the way other productions of the famous novel are

viewed and focuses on the true meaning of humanity, family and oppression. Directed by Maria Cominis and written by Bruce Goodrich, this adaptation of “Frankenstein” moves past the idea of the Creature as an infamous horror monster by emphasizing the journey Shelley endured to create such an iconic piece of literature. “Frankenstein” tells the story of an eccentric scientist who creates a tortured individual known as the Creature, played by Casey Bowen. After he is brought to life, the Creature is subjected to the hatred and disgust of those

around him – including his creator – which in turn leads him to become malicious. Bowen exhibits the vulnerability of a newborn child, conveying sympathetic qualities from the start. Each time he stutters or mimics the word’s of another, Bowen displays the Creature’s sensitivity. Through facial expressions of bewilderment and perplexing hand motions, Bowen articulates the Creature’s constant confusion while also displaying signs of interest in learning about who or what he is. Suspense looms as the

cast expresses their animosity toward the creature. Believing that he’s an abomination, the Creature begins to show signs of malevolent intent. When he sees his creator for the first time, the tension is palpable with body stances that heavily imply imminent violence. Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the tortured being, is played by Anthony Ayala as an erratic young scientist. Each time Frankenstein feels defeated or angered, he yells at the characters surrounding him. SEE FRANKENSTEIN 4

what information constitutes the official record of an individual’s immigration history, DHS defines 12 points that they consider. Point five explicitly mentions social media handles, and point 11 emphasizes the inclusion of publicly available information that can be obtained from the internet.

BAILEY CARPENTER / DAILY TITAN

The Creature (Casey Bowen) displays the innocence of a child as he is met with a cruel world and betrayed by his creator, causing him to take a more violent approach toward society.

The Department of Homeland Security announced Sept. 18 that it amended its criteria for collecting information on anyone who has passed through the immigration process. The new policy, which takes effect on Oct. 18, will consider publicly available internet information, including social media, to be part of an individual’s immigration record, and possibly search histories. This policy can potentially threaten Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients because under the new criteria, public information can be monitored by DHS and passed onto Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “As DHS moves to conducting more immigration actions in an electronic environment … DHS no longer considers the paper A-File (Alien File) as the sole repository and official record of information related to an individual’s official immigration record,” the DHS notice reads. The Alien File is a physical file that contains documents pertaining to noncitizens. By moving to index all their collected information into one shareable, digital file, DHS and other agencies like United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and ICE will be able to access the information from anywhere. In an effort to clarify

JOANNE TALBOT DHS representative An email statement from Joanne Talbot, a representative for DHS, said the amendment aims to “help address these requirements, not launch a new policy initiative,” to comply with the Privacy Act of 1974, which governs the dissemination of individuals’ personal information. “DHS, in its law-enforcement and immigration-process capacity, has and continues to monitor publicly available social media to protect the homeland,” Talbot said.

Vegas: Suspect confirmed dead CONTINUED FROM

“It’s a devastating time … It’s unfortunate that it occurred here, but we have responded to the scene and we’re doing the best we can to provide safety for the survivors,” Lombardo said. “We have the place under control.” Lombardo said a local resident was identified

as the shooter. However, LVMPD did not disclose the man’s identity due to the ongoing investigation. Lombardo said the LVMPD is interested in talking to a companion by the name of Marilou Danley, who was traveling with the suspect. At the press briefing, Lombardo said that social media reports of multiple

shooters and explosives going off in numerous locations outside of Mandalay bay were false. However, he said LVMPD found an explosive when the SWAT team breached the suspect’s room. Police are also searching for two vehicles registered to the suspect: a Hyundai Tuscon with Nevada plate 114B40 and a Chrysler

Pacifica Touring with Nevada plate 19D40. In addition, Lombardo requested that anyone who may have any sort of video that would be of benefit to the investigation turn it into the LVMPD.

While DHS maintains that these policies were in place before, there is a notable difference in content. The original policy from 2012 only contained six sections that talked about the role of the DHS chief privacy officer and mentioned social media without elaborating on how it would apply to the collection of information, while the amended policy goes more in-depth with social media guidelines through its 12 points. The ICE Office of Public

Environmental policies praised CSUF earns high score in ‘Guide to 375 Green Colleges, 2017.’ GENE PIETRAGALLO Staff Writer

Cal State Fullerton was featured in The Princeton Review’s “Guide to 375 Green Colleges, 2017,” receiving a score of 91. Colleges are rated on a scale of 60-99 to obtain a listing in the top 375. Three major judgments they consider include: • Whether or not students have a campus quality of life that is both healthy and sustainable. • How well a school is preparing students for employment in the clean-energy economy of the 21st century, as well as for citizenship in a world now defined by environmental concerns and opportunities. • How environmentally responsible a school’s policies are. Students were given an 80-question online survey covering their opinions on topics like campus life and rating campus food services. “Out of the 2,000 schools we considered for this project, the ‘Top 50 Green Colleges’ (not to mention all 375 Green Colleges that are profiled on our site) are, in our opinion, truly up to the task of training the next generation of leaders who will be responsible for putting green

ideas into practice,” The Princeton Review’s website read. The Princeton Review, which makes its selections based on a specific “Green” rating system, collected scores from 629 colleges out of the 2,000 originally considered. The 375 top-scoring schools on the final list received profiles but were not ranked in any particular order. Among the amenities aimed to create an energy efficient campus, The Princeton Review focused on and acknowledged CSUF for transportation, food resources and sustainability organizations. Fifty-five percent of the entire CSUF campus food budget is spent on local and organic products, according to The Princeton Review. CSUF also has a variety of alternative transportation

options including carpool and bike services and free or discounted transit shuttle passes. “We have free charging for student, staff and faculty at electric vehicle charging stations on campus. We have eleven level two charging stations for anyone who drives an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle,” said CSUF Sustainability Programs manager in Facilities Operations and Management Megan Moscol. A part of CSUF’s score comes from campus housing being built to follow the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ratings. Moscol said 1,200 out of 2,000 students in on-campus housing live in the highest level for certification of a green building that can be earned.

Another reason the campus received such a high score is because it generates five megawatts of its own power, which provides 50 percent of campus power during the busiest hours of the day. Moscol said that annually, the campus generates 16 percent of its own power through renewable energy efforts initiated by Facilities Operations. “We’re growing our renewable energy on campus,” Moscol said. “We just added two solar rays (on top of the Nutwood and State College parking structures) and they generate three megawatts of power.” With these factors and more contributing to a placement on the “Guide to 375 Green Colleges, 2017,” Moscol said she thinks CSUF is “only looking at better and better performance in the future.”

Fortune 500 companies meet with students ETHAN PESCHANSKY Staff Writer

Dressed to impress with resumes in hand, almost 100 students packed the Fullerton Marriott Ballroom Friday. Their goal? To introduce themselves to some of the two dozen Fortune 500 companies seeking new employees at the third annual Sales Career Academy. The CSUF Sales Leadership Center hosted the allday event featuring panels from recruiters, workshops and networking opportunities aiming to help students jumpstart their careers in sales. “The Sales Career Academy is designed for students who believe they have an interest in a professional sales career, to develop their confidence and skills associated with their resume, interviewing skills, (dressing) for success and dining etiquette,” said SLC Co-Director Mark Mantey. “It’s also an opportunity for (students) to network with the center’s corporate partners who are here on campus recruiting.” Morning activities included workshops to help improve students’ interviewing skills and resume preparation. “I really loved being broken down into the groups and doing the mock interview questions with the candidates,” said Toby Sexton, regional sales manager at Henry Schein. “What I was able to give back to these students was the ability to answer a question (professionally) and be themselves at the

same time.” The event offered participants insight into the recruitment process while companies got to meet with potential employees. “I really liked the informal environment ... for students to feel comfortable and able to talk to us on a one-on-one basis,” said Erika Waters, UPS inside sales representative.

THEATRE

Frankenstein: Classic arrives at CSUF CONTINUED FROM

The audience witnesses Frankenstein’s obsessive nature through Ayala’s emphasis on his speech pattern. Desperation is heard in Ayala’s voice and rapid breathing as Frankenstein loses control of his creation. What makes this production even more unique is the addition of the true creator, Mary Shelley as a character. Shelley is played by Olivia Kridle who adds a new, exciting component to the storytelling of “Frankenstein.” The plot unfolds simultaneously as Shelley writes it and even shares a fleeting moment with the Creature

which speaks volumes. The lighting and projections perfectly accompany the story. Each time a character has an important line or dialogue, the spotlight hits them, making their importance known. In moments of despair or suspense, blue lighting reflects the characters’ feelings. This production of “Frankenstein” is highly entertaining. Although it’s a story that has been adapted into various pop-culture contexts over the years, this production breathes new life into a well-known classic. “Frankenstein” will continue to run in the Young Theatre until Oct. 15.

Concert Rock and electropop played amid a crowd of students who came to the concert at “All Day ASI” to relax, catch up with friends and ease their way into the weekend. Hints of summer filled the air as attendees wore denim shorts and loose, oversized tank tops. The aroma of Cajun seasoning and garlic fries overtook the lawn as guests grabbed free food and the bands started playing. “All Day ASI” began at 8 a.m. on Sept. 28 and went on until midnight. It was organized to allow students to go to class or work and still catch a few of the events. After BRAEVES opened, FRENSHIP headlined the concert of the all-day event, pulling together a performance that excited the crowd. Blue and purple lights passed over the band, paralleling the band’s smooth, rhythmic style. “It was mellow, and everyone’s been really nice (so far) from who we’ve been talking to,” said FRENSHIP lead singer Brett Hite. “(CSUF) is a beautiful little campus.” As the sun set, FRENSHIP closed the concert with their most popular track, “Capsize” and transitioned into the after-party. “I think in this kind of capacity, it’s really great because it involves more students,” said fourth-year health science major Manilyn Pogoso. “There’s a lot of people who come in during different parts of the day.” Expo The expo at Titan Walk from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. was carnival-like.

OPINION 5 Homelessness plagued by stereotypes MONDAY OCTOBER 2, 2017

Stigmas are turning people away from aiding those in need.

NATALIE NUESCA Staff Writer

Volunteers counted 4,792 people living on the streets during Orange County’s January Point in Time homeless count. The homeless situation in Orange County is problematic on its own, but the less fortunate are plagued by things beyond their control, leading to stigmas which prove another issue: Public ignorance. Some assume that the homeless are lazy and have no education, thus making them unqualified for jobs. But this is not the case most of the time. “Homelessness is caused primarily by lack of sufficient income or job loss combined with high costs of housing in Orange County,” according to a 2015 collaborative study among Orange County United Way, Jamboree and the University of California, Irvine, with the support of the Association of California Cities. Uncontrollable external factors also affect individuals’ ability to create acceptable living conditions. The study found that other factors like family dysfunction increase one’s vulnerability to homelessness. Negative stigmas surrounding homelessness lead

The stigma created by people in society labeling homeless people as lazy and incompetent is negatively affecting the less fortunate by lowering other’s willingness to help. The homeless individuals are afflicted by external factors beyond their control, like family dysfunction.

to a reluctance to communicate with homeless individuals and support the notion that these individuals are less than. Respecting these individuals and normalizing them as actual citizens will break down the stereotypes held by the general public. A common stereotype that needs to be addressed is labeling all homeless people as dirty. It is easy to associate having a home with cleanliness and hygiene, but an

individual can still be clean without owning a house or apartment. Public restrooms and gyms are commonly used by the homeless to shower. A proposal directed at the government is necessary to create more safe spaces where the homeless can live. The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California is circulating a petition that pushes for more places homeless people can

live without worrying about where to sleep or maintain their hygiene. Many homeless individuals take to freeway offramps to ask for money or resources. The last thing they need is for privileged individuals in luxury cars to be second-guessing their intentions. Those who can spare the extra cash should always do so. For a person in need it can greatly improve their day. And anyone concerned about the possibility of bad

intentions should consider giving specific resources instead like food or water. It’s these negative stereotypes about homelessness that can keep people from offering their help. In some cases they can even justify harsh and demeaning language. Phrases like, “You’re dressed like a homeless person” are offensive and perpetuate more negative ideas about homeless individuals. Statements like there are disrespectful and

inconsiderate, especially because they could hurt people within earshot, even students, who struggle to find permanent housing. It’s important to understand that the homeless are people, too. They should not be dehumanized for facing adversity. Everyone hits bumps in the road; some are just much larger than others, and those that hit the bigger ones shouldn’t be made to feel less than human because of their misfortune.

Asst. Sports Editor

After finishing up nonconference play on a twogame winning streak and boasting a 7-2-2 record, Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer kicked off Big West conference play on the right foot with a 3-0 shutout over the Cal State Northridge Matadors. “This is exactly the way we wanted to start our conference play,” said Titans Head Coach Demian Brown. “I think we’ve put ourselves right where we want to be at the top of the conference.” Intensity was high on both sides from the start, which was reflected by a yellow card handed to CSUN defender Amber Edemann only two minutes into the game. Two minutes later, CSUN midfielder Sydney Gilbert earned another yellow card for the Matadors. As play got more aggressive,CSUF got closer to CSUN’s goal and the Titans didn’t let the Matador’s aggressive tactics slow their roll, with a goal from Tala Haddad in the 20th minute giving the Titans a 1-0 lead. “We just scored off our plan, and that’s what we’ll keep doing. It was a really, really well-executed goal for us,” Haddad said. Coming out of the locker room and stepping onto the field for the second half, the

Titans kept the pressure and possession up with CSUN managing only one shot on goal in the game. With 20 minutes left in the second half, the Titans put another goal on the board when the Matadors

knocked in an own goal off a shot from Jazzmin Mancilla, who made her conference return after a yearlong, injury-caused hiatus. “It’s super exciting. I’ve only had one other goal in my entire five years here,

now. So it’s a pretty great feeling to know that I beat the odds of my injury, and I plan to keep going in hard and making every game count,” Mancilla said. The Titans didn’t let up from there. Freshman Haley

Cross country holds steady in weekend meet CSUF showed stability in the Capital Cross Challenge Saturday. MARIANA VERA Asst. Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s and women’s cross country finished in fourth and ninth place, respectively, Saturday at the Capital Cross Challenge in Sacramento. Coming off a fourthplace finish at the UC Riverside Invitational, the men’s team finished fourth in the 8,000-meter once again. Collectively, the men earned 138 points with a total time of 2:05:37, while Chico State took first place with a score of 70 and a total time of 2:03:46. “The men ran solid. It wasn’t our best day but it

was solid. We didn’t have Joe Casco, so that hurt our depth a little bit,” Titans Head Coach John Elders told Cal State Fullerton Sports Media. “I thought it was a good day for us and something that we can continue to build on and help our confidence.” Titans freshman Jacob Smith led the way with a 20th-place finish (24:50.3) in the men’s 8,000-meter race. Junior Joshua Silva, finished with a time of 25:01.4 that earned him 30th place. Junior Samuel Pimentel placed one spot behind Silva with a time of 25:04.4. The women’s team improved by one place over the weekend, finishing ninth in the 6,000-meter race. The Titans finished with 198 points and a total time of 1:49:51. San Jose State took first place with 62 points and a total time of 1:45:27.

“When we get to a level where we all stay closer together, that’s when the team will be a force to be reckoned with. These last couple races haven’t been indicative of what our talent is, so we’ll make some adjustments and get ready for the next race,” Elders said. Freshman Wendi Leos led the women’s team and posted a time of 21:00.5 to earn seventh place. Sophomore Sam Huerta finished ninth with a time of 21:13.9, ranking two spots behind Leos. Thirdbest junior Brianna Jacklin finished 49th with a time of 22:15.8. “Wendi and Sam ran well, as expected. We expect them to be in the top group, and they were,” Elders said. The Titans will compete at the Bronco Invitational in Sunnyvale, California Oct.14 at 9 a.m.

ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

Cultivating a peaceful environment at work is more important than being productive today. However, complications still can arise if you misunderstand what’s expected of you.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Social interactions may be confusing today as the distinctions between professional and personal relationships blur. Two people can have very different expectations, making it all the more urgent to clear up any potential ambiguity.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

You wish to be surrounded by luxurious things and you can easily visualize what’s needed to create a comfortable nest for you and your loved ones. You might even enlist a creative friend or employ a professional in your quest to beautify your residence.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

You are fixated on a specific image that captures a romantic fantasy and you can’t get it out of your mind. Paradoxically, glimpses of perfect love vanish when you try to share your vision with someone else. In fact, the more you talk about it, the less clear it becomes.

The cosmos is sending you love letters today, and you open each envelope with eager anticipation. Whether you’re enchanted with the idea of invigorating a current relationship or cultivating a new one, your fantasies reveal emotional sharing.

LEO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

You might find something so beautiful today that you want to purchase it, no matter what the expense. Spending money on art for the purpose of investment makes sense only if you can afford it.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

A sudden change in your cash flow could be a catalyst that prompts you to reassess your financial condition. This is an opportunity to solidify your position for the long term.

SCORPIO

Although you know exactly what you need in your love life, you don’t always do such a stellar job of communicating your desires to others. Those closest to you might not be able comprehend what you are saying now if your words don’t match your actions.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

You want everything related to your career to be chugging along on track, but you might not know how to clear a path to success now. You must build a foundation on solid ground in order to reach your goals.

http://www.dailysu

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

You can dream your way to success today, but you still must do the hard work to reach the top of your game. It’s also necessary to pursue your goals ethically.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You may be so clever today that you outsmart your own intentions. Naturally, you want to succeed, but there could be unconscious factors at play which can work against you when you least expect it.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)

You could be sending mixed signals to others because you’re ambiguous about your relationship goals today. Fortunately, people close to you won’t be deterred by your lack of clarity because they can see right through your defense mechanisms.

8 SPORTS Anthem: Players talk pregame protests

MONDAY OCTOBER 2, 2017

Freshman volleyball player Tyler Fezzey said she stands with professional athletes and their message, agreeing that their status in the media is being used the right way. “I think everyone has the right to exercise their freedom of speech,” Fezzey said. “They’re just people like anyone else, and they’re using their platform the best way they can.” But Fezzey also blames

the media for shining a false light on the athletes and stirring up confusion among the public. “I think it’s something that obviously is being misconstrued in the media. I think people need to make sure they do their research and really understand what the athletes are doing, what their purpose is,” Fezzey said. “I think as long as anyone is respectful in what they believe, that they should be allowed to exercise their freedom of speech.”

Preston said no matter what the Titans do, they’ll

defender Sam Molz understands that the protests

... As long as it’s in the realm of what it means to be peaceful and the First amendment ... then that is within their discretion of whatever they want to do.

ASHELY PRESTON Titans volleyball head coach do it together, a recurring theme among CSUF athletes. Titans men’s soccer

have been in full swing in the last week for all the right reasons but said he doesn’t expect to take a

knee anytime soon. “It’s better than people going out and being violent to prove their point,” Molz said. “I personally would never sit out on (the national anthem), but I see why people are doing it.” Molz isn’t the only Titan on the men’s team to feel this way. Sophomore forward Rei Dorwart agrees that his type of protest is one that doesn’t need to be showcased in the stadium. “I don’t know if I would ever sit out on the national

anthem. I believe that everyone has the right to sit out if they want. As long as it’s not harming anyone in a physical way, then it’s fine,” Dorwart said. Although the Titans don’t have any out-of-the-ordinary gestures planned, the Titans will continue to support for one another in all dimensions – even if it’s on one knee. “Though we all have differences of opinion, in our team, we stand united,” Preston said.

CSUF gets first win of conference play Men’s soccer triumphed over Cal Poly 1-0 with 10 players on the field. YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA Sports Editor

Despite being forced to play down a man in its match against Cal Poly, Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer came out on top, taking down the Mustangs in a 1-0 victory Saturday. “It shows that we have heart. We have resilience, and we can compete even if we have 10 guys,” Titans midfielder Diego Sanchez told Cal State Fullerton Sports Media. The Mustangs held a five-game winning streak heading into the match but weren’t able to penetrate Titans’ defense. The Titans started off aggressively, with Titans midfielder Mark Hernandez attempting their first shot on goal in the second minute. Seven fouls were called in the first 20 minutes of the game, but it was at the eighth blow of the whistle when the Titans found their chance to put themselves on the scoreboard. Sanchez pocketed his first goal of the season off a penalty kick in the 25th minute to give the Titans a 1-0 lead. Titans defender Michael Lopez had a physical start in the first half, which earned him the first yellow card of the match in the 33rd minute. Three minutes later, Lopez was sent off the field with a red card, leaving CSUF with only 10 men on the pitch for the rest of the match.

Cal State Fullerton midfielder Diego Sanchez’s game-wnning goal against Cal Poly was his first goal of the 2017 season. Sanchez still leads the Titans in assists with three. Midfielder Mark Hernandez ranks second with two.

The deficit on the field left the Titans scrambling to fill the holes in their starting lineup, but CSUF’s defense held off the Mustangs for the remainder of the match, despite Cal Poly taking more than double the Titans’ shot attempts with 14. “I think it just shows guts that we have. The second

half we were just defending almost the whole entire time we had a man down,” said Titans defender Sam Molz. “It was a great team performance.” The Titans were more quiet on the field, attempting just five shots the entire game, only three of which were on goal. Cal Poly may have

dominated the Titans in shot attempts, but couldn’t beat CSUF in the only shot-related statistic that matters: Goals. The Mustangs nearly tied the game in the 74th minute when Mustangs forward Sean Goode fired at an open net but Molz was able to make the heroic save, sliding in just in time to

deflect the shot. “We knew we were gonna need plays like that from defenders and from goalkeepers,” said Titans Head Coach George Kuntz. “I thought it was an outstanding job by our guys, a great defensive effort.” Fullerton goalie Paul-Andre Guerin kept all opposing shots out of the

net for the second time this season. He was also awarded his first yellow card after spending too much time with the ball as the game neared completion. The Titans will look to build a winning streak as they continue their conference schedule when they face UC Davis Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. at Titan Stadium.

Titans drop their fourth game of Big West play Cal State Fullerton volleyball fell 3-0 to Hawaii on Saturday. JULIUS CHOI

For the Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton volleyball headed into its fourth conference game versus the University of Hawaii hoping to put an end to its five-game losing streak. The Titans came up short with Hawaii taking a 3-0 sweep Friday. Hawaii concluded the match in three straight sets to push its win streak to seven games and leave Hawaii four games over .500. “I think as a team, we’re waiting for that click moment,” said Titans outside hitter Madeline Schneider. “Now that it is conference (play) and the teams are bigger and the teams are better, we need to step up...We can play with these teams.” Hawaii’s high-octane offense set the tone early as it won the first set, 25-8. Hawaii middle hitter Emily Maglio notched seven kills without any errors, giving her a 1.00 hitting percentage in the opening frame. The Titans attempted to

turn things around in the second set after a service error kickstarted a three-point run which cut Hawaii’s lead to five. But it wasn’t enough as the Rainbow Wahine kept the Titans under double-digits in the first two sets. Hawaii outside hitter McKenna Granato tallied four service aces — including three in a row during a 7-0 run. Hawaii ended the match with a 17-1 advantage on service aces. “In the third set, we started having a lot more hustle,” said Titans right side hitter Tyler Fezzey. “We could see in each other that we really wanted to get the energy back up.” Although Hawaii swept the match, the Titans had some positive takeways as Fezzey led the team’s attack by finding holes in Hawaii’s defense, coming away with a team-high seven kills. Despite it being her first start of conference play, Fezzey has made significant contributions to the Titans, ranking third on the roster in kills per set with 1.82. “(Fezzey) makes a bigger impact than I think she realizes,” Schneider said. “She’s a big part of our offense, especially being a
