CSUF student killed after Halloween party Sophomore Alex Zepeda shot to death Saturday.

BRANDON PHO News Editor

Cal State Fullerton student Alex Zepeda of Wilmington, CA, was shot and killed after a Halloween party early Saturday morning.

Zepeda’s friend Kimberly Talavera said the 19-year-old sophomore criminal justice

major, who was the first in his family to go to college, bled to death at 1:40 a.m. after being shot twice by three unidentified individuals in Wilmington.

The Los Angeles County Department of Medical

Examiner-Coroner office has a page for case details on Alex Zepeda, but has not released details regarding his cause of death because the examination is still pending.

Talavera said she

witnessed the shooting alongside CSUF student Javier Perez as the three were walking home from the party, and set up a GoFundMe page to help Zepeda’s family with the estimated $27,000 funeral and memorial

arrangement costs.

“He has a big brother and a little brother,” Talavera said. “He was definitely an example to his family and all his friends.”

Senior night at Titan Stadium was not as celebratory as the Titans hoped, as Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer fell to the UC Irvine Anteaters 2-1 in its final match of conference play.

While the Titans didn’t get a victory on the field Saturday night, they walked away with an offthe-field win, clinching the Big West southern division and the top seed in the Big West tournament after Cal State Northridge fell to UC Riverside 2-1.

“This is a very new team ... When you assemble a team like this and win the South, it’s a huge statement for these guys,” said Titans Head Coach George Kuntz. “We didn’t want to win the South that way. We wanted to put a stamp on it, but we’ll take it.”

Despite beating the Titans Saturday, the Anteaters’ season is officially over.

Although he’s adapted to frequent backline changes, Guerin said it was a challenge for him to play without defender Corentin Ohlmann. Ohlmann speaks

French, Guerin’s native language, which relieves Guerin of relaying commands to the rest of the defense.

“The communication is really important in the defense. We switch a lot but we know each other well, so it’s not such a bad

thing,” Guerin said.

The offense picked up the slack early, as Fullerton took the lead in the first half 1-0 after Samuel Goni scored his eighth goal of the season in the 22nd minute.

The CSUF College Republicans club tweeted a link to the “Free Speech at CSUF” website, which includes information about what objects and behaviors will be prohibited at the “Troll Academy” event.

According to the event website, ticket holders will be subjected to a security screening to look for a number of prohibited items.

Food, beverages and large objects like

skateboards, bicycles and anything larger than 30 inches by 30 inches are prohibited.

Yiannopoulos has encouraged attendees to wear costumes. However, masks, face paint and anything concealing one’s identity will not be allowed at the event.

Weapons, including toy weapons and pepper spray, as well as incendiary devices like matches are also prohibited from entering the event space.

Certain behaviors will

also not be tolerated during the speech according to the “Free Speech at CSUF” website.

Guests of the event are asked to be respectful and not rattle barricades or cause a disruption. Individuals who do disrupt the event will be subject to liability and costs if it results in damages.

In response to the upcoming event, CSUF President Mildred García also sent out a campuswide email Oct. 25 stressing the importance of standing

together as a campus community.

García said the campus should ignore the event, and encouraged CSUF to be a role model for inclusivity and diversity on college campuses.

“As a public university, we have been clear about where we stand when it comes to hate and intolerance, and I will now leave zero ambiguity as to where I hope we will stand on October 31st and every day thereafter: Together,” García said in the email.

Old-school Cumbia music filled the air at Richman Park Saturday as Fullerton adults and children alike participated in the third annual Community Health Fair.

The event, hosted by Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Healthy Neighborhoods and organized by the students in a Health Science 410 course, brought health and educational services to a community that lacks resources.

“Instead of having the community go out and reach for the resources, we’re bringing the resources to them,” said CSUF lecturer and Health Science 410 instructor Alejandro Espinoza.

The park was full of booths from local health and community organizations with information disseminated in both Spanish and English.

“The first year, we had 10 organizations, now we have 30. It’s definitely grown,” Espinoza said.

St. Jude’s Neighborhood Health Program educated the community about its medical and mental health services that provide care for uninsured and undocumented residents.

“It’s a great program to learn what officers do,” Lopez said. “They have tough jobs so you really get an appreciation for them.”

The Center for Healthy Neighborhoods is located at Richman Park and provides services like English classes and tutoring for students in elementary through high school.

The center also collected information via questionnaires to learn how they can provide better services for the community.

“We noticed there were a lot of health disparities in this zip code 92832,” said Amy Santos, Center for Healthy Neighborhoods research assistant. “A lot of people come here and see it as their own place, and that’s the purpose of why we’re here.

FERNANDO SALAZAR / DAILY TITAN

Constituents of Congressman Ed Royce gathered at his district office at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 26 to protest his refusal to stand against President Donald Trump and ask him to vote against the U.S. House bill looking to cut funding from Medicare and Medicaid.

“With him representing the idea there should be a hearing protection act, it’s ridiculous,” said Viviana Martinez (pictured). “He also was supportive of having a conceal and carry from another state reciprocated here.

That doesn’t make us safer. It goes against California values.”

“He just voted for the new budget to strip away a trillion dollars of health care coverage from the neediest people around our country,” said California 39th Congressional District candidate Phil Janowicz (pictured above). “We’re protesting that vote because we believe that our neediest Americans deserve health care and shouldn’t be thrown out on the streets with no lifeline whatsoever.”

Conference addresses rape culture

La Habra Life Center

Impact of culture and power on domestic violence examined.

ANITA HUOR

Daily Titan Staffer

Students and faculty learned about the prevalence of domestic violence during the 18th annual Violence Prevention Conference, hosted by the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center Friday in the Titan Student Union.

“The one thing I hope they take away from this is that we all do have a role in this. Even if we haven’t been personally affected, we all have a role in the culture we share,” said CSUF Assistant Professor of sociology Devon Thacker Thomas, Ph.D., the conference’s keynote speaker.

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, “The Role of Culture in Power and Control: Shared Experiences of Violence,” conference, focused on how power and control plays a part in various cultures, through shared survivors’ stories.

Thomas’ workshop, called “It’s About Time: Dismantling the Global Culture of Violence,” examined how society reinforces the ongoing culture of violence and how different experiences of violence can be recognized as a shared experience.

During the workshop, participants filled out a form

asking “What Composes Rape Culture?” that depicted a mostly submerged iceberg to show there are aspects of rape culture that are invisible.

There was also a screening of “Breaking Silence,” a documentary that focused on those impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence in the Muslim-American community. Women in the film called for a need to hold perpetrators accountable and talked about how to help survivors.

After the film, a panel of experts — including a survivor featured in the film — spoke about power and control and

held a Q&A session.

Workshops were also available for participants to learn how to protect themselves and provide resources to survivors, the history of sexual violence and identity domestic violence situations.

Attendees had the opportunity to attend the workshop “I Know What You Are Doing and I Know Where You Are: Using Technology and Social Media to Track, Coerce and Control” presented by Detective Michael McCaskill of the Fullerton Police Department’s Family Crimes Unit.

During his session, McCaskill covered how

power and control can result in an abusive relationship and showed examples through case studies. He also advised the audience to turn off locations on their accounts and photos when posting on social media, to limit who has access to them.

“It’s so common, especially with CSUF students, for us to run into people who become victims from things that have happened on social media,” McCaskill said.

“Coming out here and educating people ... Saves our agency time and a lot of grief and a lot of hardship for people.”

Review: A rebellious tale of teen love CONTINUED FROM

Set in Baltimore, Maryland in 1954, “Cry Baby” is the love story between the innocent Allison (Kelly Rosales) who wants to shake off her “square” tendencies as she falls in love with the infamous and rebellious Cry Baby (Jeff Garrido) to the chagrin of many. Garrido adds a great dynamic to the show by playing both a rebel and a good guy at heart. Rosales jumps up and down with glee when she does something “bad,” displaying her naivety.

The cast entrancingly performs Adam Schlesinger’s tunes, engaging audiences wonderfully. . Many of the songs throughout the production are quite catchy, and the fun choreography adds more to the personality of each character.

Characters like Mona “Hatchet-Face” Malnorowski (Olivia Pence), Pepper Walker (Kiana King) and Wanda Woodward (Beth Roy) move in sensual ways as they dance, expressing their rebellious nature. Lenora (Kayla Contreras) — who is obsessed with Cry Baby — moves outlandishly showcasing her eccentric character through each dance number.

The live band adds more charm to the musical, bringing a concert-like atmosphere to the electrifying production.

Baldwin (Matthew Ollson), and his gang The Whiffles: (Colby Hamann, Evan Borboa and Joe Stein), serve as great comedic relief. They constantly exaggerate their hands and facial expressions, showing just how kooky their characters

Celebrating culture with friendly competition Filipino-American clubs faced off at CSUF in 32nd Friendship Games.

KATHERINE ABANDO ANITA HUOR Daily Titan Staffers

CSUF Filipino-American students chanted together “I said brr, it’s cold in here, there must be PASA in the atmosphere,” among the surrounding groups. Their competitive roars built anticipation for the upcoming games, as it contagiously echoed throughout the Intramural Field.

Pilipino-American Student Association (PASA) is a college organization dedicated to educating and promoting the Filipino culture on campus with events like the 32nd annual Friendship Games Saturday.

College students from 40 campuses on the West Coast converged at CSUF to show their school pride and celebrate Filipino-American culture.

Spirit, pride, unity and friendship (S.P.U.F) encapsulate the core meaning of the games by honoring Filipino-American History Month with lively competition of picnic games, dance performances and chant battles.

CSUF freshman Renzo Openano participated in the Friendship Games for the first time Saturday. He enjoyed the combination of the intensity of the games and meeting new people who share his heritage.

“I wanted to learn more about my culture because our generation is more Americanized now, and by joining this club I will learn more about the Filipino culture,”

Openano said.

The opening ceremony included roll call performances which showcased each organization’s theme with choreographed dance moves. The cheer chants and playful battles between teams hyped up the competition throughout the day.

CSUF wore “PASA” on NASA-style shirts and held up a sign decorated as a rocket as their theme for roll call.

Each school embodied different themes like Mean Girls, Nintendo and Powerpuff Girls through their team spirit, clothing and signs to represent their organization.

Scoring varied for each game, but the three teams with the most points at the end of picnic games competed in a final rampage.

With practice and hard work, CSUF made it to the finals alongside San Jose State and Cal State East Bay. The final rampage was a series of obstacles organized by sports coordinators. The last standing colleges were unaware what the obstacles would entail. Each obstacle had a time limit and if a team couldn’t finish, they moved on to the next task. The team with the fastest time won.

At the end of the event, trophies were awarded to the schools who earned the most points during the competitions. The college that showed the most S.P.U.F. was awarded an 8-foot-tall trophy.

While taking a break from all-day activities during the halftime show, participants enjoyed performances from dance crews Pac Modern, Theta Delta Beta and Team Millennia. Spoken-word artist Steady and musician Sheryl Ann Padre shared their

PASA Internal Vice President Angelyn Garcia has been involved with the club for two years and enjoys the process of preparing for the Friendship games despite the stress of organizing it. Garcia enjoys watching her fellow PASA members hustle during games and the empowerment the teams pass along to one another.

“What I do like is the fact that we intentionally put Friendships Games during this month just so we remember to celebrate our history,” Garcia said. “It’s a great way of celebrating our culture.”

6 OPINION

MONDAY OCTOBER 30, 2017

OP - ED

Free speech threatened by Milo Many suggest that Milo Yiannopoulos is beneficial to our campus and that he is a proud supporter of free speech. However, Yiannopoulos is hindering our freedoms, including free speech. The problem is that he flip-flops whenever it benefits him. In 2012, Yiannopoulos said he completely agrees with censorship, and that “trolls” should be banned from the internet. It is possible for him to have changed his mind on the subject.

Afterall, he was known in 2016 to be a defender of free speech, regardless of if it offends anyone. Even before Yiannopoulos’ ban on Twitter, he was advocating for freedom of speech.

The problem is that he changes his mind too often. Right after his ban, Yiannopoulos told NBC in a July 20 interview, that he agrees with his 2012 article entirely but states he does not want Twitter to be hypocritical.

That sounds noble and all, but that is the opposite of free speech. He changes his mind again in the interview and states that he “endorses free speech.” When the anchor caught him flip-flopping, he then gave a not-soclear stance on his views and quickly tried to change the subject.

Not only is his word inconsistent, his actions flip too. On the same day of the NBC interview, he censored someone for quoting that same article. A Facebook user provided photographic evidence of Yiannopoulos repeatedly deleting his comments and then blocking him. Yiannopoulos states his freedom of speech was at risk on social media

and afterward did the same thing to someone who was criticizing him. It is both fitting and ironic to censor someone who was proving that he supports censorship. Yiannopoulos seems (at times) to be for the practice of “trolling,” but criticism is too much for him.

After his scandal on protecting pedophilia earlier this year, Yiannopoulos tried to become the rector of Glasgow University. His goal as rector was to ban the school’s Muslim Student Association. He tried to silence and ban the MSA and considered them “anti-LGBT” because they were Muslim. Yiannopoulos deemed them hateful and called to shutdown the group. Students questioned his motives as he claimed to protect the LGBT community. Yiannopoulos tried to silence them for hate speech without evidence. Even if they committed hate speech, silencing them goes against protecting free speech.

Yiannopoulos is not only anti-trans but stated that homosexuals are not as good as straight people. He said he would rather be straight due to his religion and is considered a “self-loathing homosexual” for his comments. He also tried to make people vote “no” on same-sex marriage in Australia marrying his longtime boyfriend. It seems Yiannopoulos will silence similar opinions, if they come from different people. He also argues that there should be a “cap” on women in STEM programs.

Many fear that students will be outed and doxed by Yiannopoulos. In September, Associated Students of the University of

California attempted to pass an anti-doxing bill to protect students’ privacy in response to Yiannopoulos’ UC Berkeley appearance.

He also does not seem to care about the rights of private businesses. In an NBC interview, he stated businesses should have the right to limit their customers or users but constantly dictates how they should do so. In another instance, a bartender said that Yiannopoulos, White Supremacist Richard Spencer and others were forced to leave a bar due to the practice of Nazi salutes. However, he refused to leave while his group chanted “make America white again.”

Yiannopoulos will hinder free speech if he believes he can get away with it. He lies to push his own rhetoric. He does not respect the rights of privacy and adds to discrimination of immigrants, LGBT, women. Yiannopoulos is only using freedom of speech as a shield to limit the rights of anyone other than his preferred demographic. If you truly support free speech, show it by tossing Yiannopoulos aside. Otherwise, you might seem hypocritical, gullible or too protective of people for the wrong reasons. One can’t expect to successfully criticize the left on limiting free speech if they support an authoritarian using free speech advocacy as a shield. Pick someone else. Free speech is dying and hypocrites like Yiannopoulos are killing it from the inside.

Hassan Fawaz Fifth-year CSUF history major

Letter to the Editor In response to: ‘Visit from Milo Yiannopoulos is a learning experience for CSUF students’ published Oct. 23 Dear Editor, I’ve heard it’s difficult for those on college campuses to defend the rights of anyone promoting sexism or racism, but Associate Dean Doug Swanson certainly did a bang-up job.

In his letter to the editor Oct. 23, Swanson condescendingly encouraged the campus community to set aside their “angst” over Milo Yiannopoulos’ upcoming visit and instead “use (it) as a learning experience.” I’m not sure it’s that easy. As a professor here at Cal State Fullerton, I believe the best place for learning on campus is in the classroom.

When students don’t feel safe coming to campus and attending their classes, the university is failing them.

Encouraging our students to “ramp down the rhetorical freak out” and find “something good” in Yiannopoulos’ visit because he is “pretty successful at marketing his brand” and “quite wealthy” is a pretty slick way of promoting capitalism at the expense of ethical responsibility and social justice and belittling student fears.

Swanson forgot to mention that several local elementary and high schools, along with the campus Children’s Center, are closing early on the 31st. In an email sent to parents last week, one elementary school principal explained it as a “proactive effort to ensure the safety of our students and

staff.” Would Swanson justify these children’s loss of instructional time by suggesting that they, too, should learn something from Yiannopoulos’ visit?

Since my work day will be cut short by these school closures, maybe I should follow Swanson’s advice to “do some research” and use the opportunity to teach my three-year-old about Yiannopoulos.

I’m particularly eager to teach him about what Yiannopoulos means when he says, as he did at Louisiana State University, that “fat people should absolutely hate themselves.”

Maybe I’ll try to explain how Yiannopoulos outed a transgender student by displaying her name and photo on screen at the University of Wisconsin last year.

Or maybe we’ll discuss that time at Ohio University when Yiannopoulos said that “in every meaningful way, the patriarchy favors women.” Do we really need to “do some research” on whether all this is admirable or even reasonable behavior, as Swanson advised? Are Yiannopoulos’ words really that difficult to judge? I don’t think so.

What we should investigate is why college administrators like Swanson are telling students to “do thoughtful inquiry” about a man who has viciously harassed comedian and actress Leslie Jones on the basis of her race and gender, the same man who wrote an article in July 2015 claiming

that feminism makes women ugly.

Swanson’s condescending tone hit a fever pitch when he warned the campus community not to get their “collective panties in a bunch.” Not only is that phrase sexist and demeaning (when’s the last time you heard someone say “don’t get your boxers in a bunch?”); It really shouldn’t be used by anyone over the age of 12, let alone by a college administrator in his university’s student newspaper.

At the end of his letter Swanson wrote, “My life is full already, so I don’t have room to take in whatever it is Yiannopoulos is selling. But those troubled about his appearance here and those whose lives are impacted have the obligation as learners to do thoughtful inquiry.” I don’t think our students stand to gain any meaningful knowledge from Yiannopoulos’ visit, but they can learn a valuable lesson from Swanson’s letter. He’s provided our students with a wonderful example of male privilege in action: By asserting that his “life is too full” to be bothered by Yiannopoulos, he’s demonstrated how very easy it is for those in power to not only ignore hate and prejudice, but to suggest that those “impacted by it” are the only ones who should care.

ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

On the surface, everything appears to be copacetic, but there may be a tempest brewing out of sight. You can pretend to be innocent and focus only on what is pleasant today, but failing to acknowledge the tension won’t prevent it from making itself known.

You don’t necessarily want to go over an emotional waterfall; you wish you could find an easier way to reach the calmer waters down below as you struggle to find your voice in a relationship.

TAURUS

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

You might sense that something isn’t quite right in a relationship at work. Relying on the familiarity of routine is often enough to put your anxious thoughts to rest.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

Your attempts to take a relationship to the next level may lead you through rough terrain today. Normally, you might turn back at the first signs of difficulty, but you’re empowered now by your unrelenting quest to be seen and acknowledged by someone you love.

LEO

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

You are quick to offer to act as the mediator in a domestic disagreement today. Although it hurts your heart when people are in conflict, you are eager to step in to reduce the emotional tension through diplomatic means.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

You are hoping to avoid an intense exchange with someone who appears to be exercising too much control over your life. You wish you didn’t need to set such firm boundaries now, but it seems to be the only way to maintain your autonomy.

You are strongly opinionated today, and your passion could act as a lightning rod that attracts an unsolicited argument. You believe someone is purposefully trying to pick a fight, but you won’t have any part in it.

VIRGO

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

You are motivated to initiate a dialogue about a very sensitive topic today, because you are so positive about your position that you’re willing to take on anyone.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

You may think that others are taking you for granted today. You wish your contributions were recognized and appreciated more often. Ironically, your needy behavior could be the cause of your apparent invisibility as you try harder than ever to be noticed. © thewordse

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You’re faced with a conundrum today as you’re tempted to participate in a group activity while simultaneously wanting to escape. You long for a deep connection with your peers and wish to pursue current opportunities to develop meaningful relationships.

Men’s basketball tips season CSUF is optimistic about its campaign after an intersquad scrimmage.

HARRISON FAIGEN Managing Editor

Cal State Fullerton men’s basketball took the court for its first official action of the 2017-18 season, playing its annual Blue/Orange Scrimmage Sunday.

Titans Head Coach Dedrique Taylor had modest goals for the afternoon run.

“Hopefully we got some conditioning because we needed to get up and down the floor,” Taylor said.

“Every time we’re out on the floor, we need to take it as an opportunity to learn about ourselves as individuals and learn about ourselves as a team.”

With Drake and other hip-hop artists blaring, the team threw down dunks, put up shots, ran through basic offensive sets and stretched during a public warmup session for a sparse crowd around noon before the game tipped off at 1 p.m.

Titans guard Khalil Ahmad and forward Jackson Rowe — the last two winners of the Big West Freshman of the Year Award — played for the orange side, continuing their success from last season at their natural positions. The team utilized undersized and versatile frontcourt tandem to outrun and outgun opponents down the stretch last year.

“It’s a good matchup because obviously they’re going to have a bigger, slower four on me and a bigger, slower four on Jackson,” Ahmad said. “Defensively, I think we’re both fast enough and versatile enough to be able to scramble around, crash the boards and get the rebound and be able to go.”

Tons of the oranges’ offense ran through Ahmad, an uptick that will likely continue for the Titans after the departure of Big West-leading scorer Tre’ Coggins.

“I’m ready for it,” Ahmad said.

“A little bit more of the load will be on my back, but I also have great teammates to help me out.”

Like Ahmad, Rowe — the only Titan voted onto the media preseason all-conference team — is also expected to take on an increased

role. The 6-foot-7-inch forward showed off his versatility by knocking down a few jumpers and finishing around the rim.

“They (coaches) want me to focus more on scoring in the paint and then working toward the outside from there,” Rowe said. “The more I score in the paint, the easier it is for my teammates to get paint touches.”

After finishing third in the Big West during the regular season last year, CSUF received one first-place vote and was picked to finish third in the Big West in the preseason media poll, its highest rank since the 2012-13 season.

The Titans couldn’t live up to that in one scrimmage, but Taylor liked what he saw.

“If we are on the same page and the ball is moving and we can get into the paint, good things can happen for this group,” Taylor said.

The Titans will play their first of two exhibition games when they host La Verne Saturday Nov. 4 before starting the regular season with a road matchup against the University of Southern California Nov. 10.

Baseball looks to improve The Titans tested their bats before the 2018 season.

KATHRYNE PADILLA Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton baseball gained insight about what its fresh, new team still needs to improve before the 2018 season after falling 5-4 against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the its first exhibition game of the year.

“They still have a long way to go,” said Titans Head Coach Rick Vanderhook. “I’d give us a C- for the day.”

The bottom of the second is where the Titans gathered their

first hit, courtesy of right fielder Ruben Cardenas. With runners on second and third, designated hitter Tyler Lasch’s hit to left field gave the Titans a one-run lead.

UNLV’s offense outplayed Fullerton’s defense after five scoreless innings, scoring one run each in the sixth and seventh.

With the game tied 2-2 in the top of the eighth following a pitcher switch, Brett Conine took the mound and promptly gave up the first home run of the game to UNLV’s Nick Ames.

“I thought the infield caught the ball good. We didn’t make an error. We only walked two guys in 14 innings,” Vanderhook said.

“We didn’t play very good in the outfield.”

Pressure didn’t lighten up for

Fullerton after a double from UNLV brought in another runner followed by a home run, giving UNLV a 5-2 advantage.

The Titans ultimately lowered the deficit to 5-4 but was unable to close out. Still, second baseman Ryan Williams saw value in getting out on the field.

“I think we played alright. I don’t think we executed all our at-bats as well as we should have, but to get on the field against a different team, it really showed how we can come together as a team and how we work in the dugout together,” said Williams.

Vanderhook was a little less pleased.

“I expected to kick their butt, and we didn’t do that,” Vanderhook said. “So that’s life, go back to the drawing board.”

Women’s soccer ends fourth Fullerton fell to UC Irvine to end Big West conference play.

JARED EPREM

Asst. Sports Editor

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer traveled to UC Irvine for its final match of conference play, and with Big West tournament seeding on the line, the Titans fell 1-0 against the Anteaters.

“Its unfortunate for our women to end on the other side of a Big West conference championship,” Head Coach Demian Brown told Cal State Fullerton Sports Media. “But we’re very

excited now and looking forward toward the Big West conference tournament.”

The Titans wasted no time in their pursuit of a goal. Forward Sarah Fajnor and midfielder Samantha Koemans attempted shots within the first four minutes of play, but neither delivered. The Anteaters’ defense was put on alert and limited the Titans to one more first-half shot.

Irvine controlled the rest of the first half. Anteaters midfielder Lili Andino scored in the 30th minute off an assist from midfielder Elizabeth Hutchison and defender Andrea Mensen. This goal would be the lone point put on the board by either team.

Fullerton was not going down without a fight, though,

sprinkling in six shots during the second half.

Fajnor, who sat in fourth place on the Big West leaderboards for shot attempts before this game, moved up to third after taking three shots in the second half.

After Sunday, the Titans now sit in fourth place in the Big West. They will face UCI in a rematch Thursday Nov. 2 at Cal State Northridge. If the Titans can avenge their loss and defeat the Anteaters, they will face the winner of the CSUN, UC Riverside game with a conference title on the line.

“We’re looking for a second chance at Irvine and another chance at a Big West conference tournament championship,” Brown said.

Volleyball breaks its losing streak CSUF gained its first win of conference play over UC Riverside.

KATHRYNE PADILLA Sports Editor

After seven straight weeks of losses and only showing glimpses of the team’s strengths, Cal State Fullerton volleyball returned to Titan Gym and broke its 12-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the UC Riverside Highlanders, its first victory since Sept. 9.

“They worked so hard and they have been working so hard since the beginning of the season,” said Titans Head Coach Ashley Preston.

“This is the standard, and now we want to grow from it.”

The first set was aggressive, with CSUF tying UCR two times (1717, 19-19) but the Titans to edged out the Highlanders for a 25-23 set win.

“Our main goal was to keep the past in the past and start to rewrite history today,” said left outside hitter Cady Francis.

UCR wasn’t going to give up without a fight, as the Titans trailed the Highlanders for most of the second

set. They lost 25-22 to tie the match at 1-1.

The Titans weren’t shaken as they returned to gather another set under their belt. After building a five-point lead (19-14), the Titans ripped off six consecutive points to end the third set ahead 25-14 for a 2-1 lead.

“I think it was more determination,” said middle blocker Jayla Norman. “We just limited our mistakes, and we were more determined to put that ball down.”

The fourth and final set became was as the Titans have a history of losing leads late in matches and allowing errors to overcome them, but they held strong Saturday.

CSUF played close with UCR to start the final set but took a ninepoint lead (19-10) after scoring five consecutive points to gain a considerable advantage.

UCR getting a two-point break only pushed Fullerton to make another four-point streak to extend its lead to 23-12. Two kills from outside hitter Madeline Schneider placed the fourth set in the Titans hands and solidified their victory.

The win only whet the Titans appetite for their next victory.

“A new standard has been set, and we’re ready to meet it,” Francis said.

Despite Goni’s efforts, the Titans couldn’t hold on to their lead as the Anteaters answered back quickly scoring in the 35th minute to tie up the match.

“I feel good when I score, but I don’t think we took advantage of the situation of being one score up,” Goni said.

“I think they came with more intensity because they had to play for everything.”

The second half of the match was a lot more heated when challenges against both teams flew out of the referees pockets as both teams racked up three cards in under five minutes.

The Anteaters knew going into the match they would have to fight for the win to secure their spot in postseason play. They received their

golden opportunity for a win with a penalty kick when the Titans defender Michael Lopez gave up a foul off of a slide tackle just outside the box.

“

At the end of the day, it’s a team effort, the ten guys in front of us and the guys who step into the match, it wouldn’t be possible without them.

give the Anteaters a 2-1 lead in the 54th minute.

Despite the two goals given up, Guerin maintains the top position in the Big West for fewest goals allowed (18), but goalkeeper coach Jonathyn Lomeli said that Guerin didn’t earn it alone.

“It’s good for him. He’s getting some recognition,” Lomeli said. “At the end of the day, it’s a team effort, the ten guys in front of us and the guys who step into the match, it wouldn’t be possible without them.”

Guerin’s success, as well as the team’s, has left the Titans confident heading into the postseason.

“We have one goal, and we’re two games away from doing what we’ve dreamed of,” Kuntz said. “And this was one of our goals, to win the South.”
