Campus GOP asks ASI for support of resolution

CSUF Republicans speak at Board of Directors meeting.

Lupe Fiasco was one of two headliners for ASI Productions’ 2017 Spring Concert. The rapper and producer performed songs including “Superstar,” “Hip-Hop Saved My Life” and “Kick-Push.”

Hundreds of students and guests merrily made their way to the Intramural Fields on Saturday for ASI Productions’ 2017 edition of Spring Concert headlined by rapper Lupe Fiasco and EDM artist Zhu.

The highly-anticipated event was met with some controversy beforehand as Associated Student Inc. began selling tickets two weeks prior to the headliner announcements.

“I was surprised to see that (ASI Productions)

didn’t announce who was going to come out (before selling tickets). I don’t think it was a good strategy,” said Nataly Miranda, who was in attendance at the concert.

Four Cal State Fullerton College Republican club members spoke at the ASI Board of Directors Governance Committee meeting Thursday to garner director support for their resolution to bar part-time anthropology lecturer Eric Canin from returning to campus.

“I’m really pleading that [ASI works] with us on this issue and represent the entire student body here and make sure that none of us are subject to basically bullying by people in power,” said Chris Boyle, president of the College Republicans.

The resolution is in response to a Feb. 8 incident in which Canin was accused of striking a member of the College Republicans during a protest on campus.

Titans take down Aggies in sweep

CSUF pulled off two comeback victories over UC Davis.

BRYANT FREESE Daily Titan

No. 12 Cal State Fullerton baseball (21-10) rebounded from a five-game losing skid with a six-game winning streak after a weekend sweep of UC Davis.

“I hope it feels good on Thursday and we don’t go out and piss three away next weekend like we did last time we got a sweep. But I thought we swung the bats, we’ve scored some runs over the last few games,” said Head Coach Rick Vanderhook.

CSUF swept New Mexico in March and followed up its performance by losing all three games to Long Beach in a nonconference matchup.

Titans 6, Aggies 0 Fullerton began the series with a 6-0 shutout victory Friday night behind stellar pitching from right-handed ace Connor Seabold. Seabold pitched a complete game for

the second time this season and gave up three hits while fanning 11 batters, tying a season-high.

“I felt the same as any other start. As the game went on and progressed, in the back of my mind I thought, ‘I have a perfect game going,’ so that kind of gave me a little extra adrenaline and it never really wore off from then on,” Seabold said.

Seabold didn’t give up a hit to the Aggies until the top of the fifth inning. The righty now has a 2.68 ERA and leads the Titan pitching staff with 54 strikeouts.

Titans 9, Aggies 8 Game two was a much tighter contest for the Titans.

It took late-game heroics and a little luck to overcome a two-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth inning and take the series-clinching game 9-8.

Fullerton got ninth started with designated hitter JT McLellan drawing a walk, which was followed up by freshman catcher Daniel Cope getting hit by a pitch.

Multicolored shirts were displayed in a clothesline art project in the Quad Thursday to commemorate survivors of violence. Students were given the opportunity to write their own experiences on blank shirts and add them to the display.

“2004 was when it happened.

The event was hosted by CSP, CSUF club Consent is Key, and the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center. It is part of CSUF’s Sexual Assault Awareness month, which holds events on campus until April 27.

The Cambodian Student Association (CSA) performed an original play and modern dance to celebrate its 10th annual culture night Friday at the Titan Student Union (TSU).

After CSA President Linny Khok welcomed the audience, Treasurer Christian Try sang the American national anthem and Sidrich Chhour sang the Cambodian national anthem in Khmer, Cambodia’s native language. Sally Sorn performed a blessing dance before the start of the play.

Khok wrote and starred in an original play titled “Rice Field of Love.” The play featured main characters Nary (played by Khok) and Dara (played by Try) as they fall in

love in Cambodia after Dara moves there to live with his grandmother. Together, they save their native land from intruders and reunite later in the United States.

“Cambodian or Khmer culture is not really exposed. It is not well known and I wanted to make it well known,” Khok said. “I wanted to keep our tradition as well because it’s just not a big country in Asia at all so we usually just don’t ever get mentioned.”

Khok has been planning the culture night for two months, including writing the script, casting the play, and choosing the “scene-changing music.” She said she thought of the play’s storyline after watching a Korean drama and wanted to write a “cheesy” and comedic play that also represented the culture.

Rice was heavily mentioned in the play because Cambodian people rely on rice for their income, Khok said. She said rice is a big part of the culture and “the

country is covered in rice fields.”

The CSA also performed a modern dance, which was a new element for this year’s culture night.

“I think it’s just a little fun activity to see that we’re also Khmer-American. We are cultural but then we are also a different culture as well,” Khok said.

The CSA and Cal State Fullerton Faculty Librarian John Hickok hosted a book drive at the culture night to sell books and send to schools in Cambodia. They have been participating in a joint project for eight years, Hickok said.

“This all started in 2009 when the leadership of (the) Cambodian Student Association approached me and said, ‘Hey, we want to do something. What can we do?’ and I said, ‘I’ve got a great idea for you: children’s books,’” Hickok said.

Hickok said children learn English very early in Cambodia, but they don’t have any

authentic books to read, so the books are like a treat for the children.

Karina Perez, a second-year political science major, said she attended the event because she is friends with a lot of the cast members in the play.

“Personally, I am not connected with (the Cambodian culture) but I think this is just a good experience to get to learn something else about a different culture,” Perez said.

Perez said she enjoyed the event and was interested to learn about what the Cambodian culture represents.

Khok said she was pleased with the way her and her members executed the play and the turnout of the event.

“I feel like it went really great. I know we were pressured before (and) it was a lot of stress on us. I was worried like, ‘Oh, maybe it’s not going to go well.’ But I trust my members so I really believe that we put on a really good show tonight,” Khok said.

The clothesline event was hosted by Community Service Programs, CSUF club Consent is Key and the WoMen’s and Adult Reentry Center as part of CSUF’s sexual assault awareness month.

Consent: Survivors of violence tell their stories CONTINUED FROM

Dawn Foor, supervisor of the Rape Crisis Center for Orange County, said a lot of the shirts in the installation were created by students.

The shirts are an ideal way for students to speak out anonymously, said Foor, who graduated from CSUF 46 years ago. “They approach us. We don’t

approach anybody.”

Students were able to come up to a table of blank t-shirts and supplies and add their own story to the clothesline. Some contained explicit content.

“Survivors of violence have the right to express anger or fear,” Foor said. “Who am I to tell them they can’t express themselves?”

The event has been held on

campus annually since 2002, Foor said.

It’s an important cause for Consent is Key historian Gloria Alonzo, who said she believes everyone knows someone impacted by this issue.

“It’s nice to know that there’s a way for them to express how they’re feeling and feel supported by the community,” Alonzo said.

Kirby Gibson, a junior majoring in human services, visited the display after hearing about it in class. Gibson said reading the shirts was “devastating” and described the one that affected her the most.

“This woman was choked, whipped, beat, burned, shot and even died once. It was really heartbreaking. But she survived that,” Gibson said.

NEWS Canin: Resolution support still pending

PAGE 3 MONDAY APRIL 10, 2017

CONTINUED FROM

1

Apart from Boyle, members Amanda McGuire, Keith Hickson and the president of the Students for Life club Brooke Paz spoke in favor of the resolution during public comment.

“Clearly (CSUF President Mildred Garcia) has chosen to disregard the safety, rights and concerns of students who hold different views than her,” Paz said. “For CSUF’s president to ignore the safety and concerns of the students who are physically attacked is absolutely disgraceful and unacceptable.”

Canin was suspended following the incident and has denied striking anybody. Cal State Fullerton Chief Communications Officer Jeffrey Cook reiterated a Feb. 22 statement that the university is taking “appropriate action” in an email Sunday.

“What does it say about the values of this institution when a professor can physically attack one of our students and the administration of this campus takes no action,” Hickson said.

Cook said in an email Sunday that the matter has “been taken very seriously by the president and her administration” and referred back to an email from Garcia on Sept. 13, 2016 where she “set the tone” for being respectful of other people’s opinions on controversial issues.

“Out of respect for that process, and since this matter is now largely a personnel issue which limits our ability to discuss it further, both this office and Dr. Garcia have not made additional comment,” Cook said.

Paz said that as a “Christian conservative,” she no longer feels included and respected on campus. She said Canin gave up his privilege to work at CSUF “when he

resorted to antagonizing and violence instead of intellectual discussion.”

“It feels that our school only speaks out for certain voices when they say we’d like to make everyone feel safe,” McGuire said. “It’s hard to recommend this school to anyone else when you know that you’re afraid to speak out on your beliefs.”

Hickson said he feels the integrity of CSUF is in question and that the matter is not a debate of personal political beliefs.

“We are here as students, and we are here to pursue knowledge. We are here to seek the

truth,” Hickson said. “There is no moral integrity in this institution by selectively picking and choosing who it is going to protect.”

McGuire said that the longer Canin stays at CSUF, the more students’ freedom of speech and “ability to speak safely” are threatened.

“There is zero evidence, apart from the say-so of the College Republicans, that Dr. Canin did any of the things he is accused of, and of which he has always categorically denied,” said California Faculty Association Fullerton Faculty Rights Chair Tyler McMillen in a text Saturday.

McMillen called the College Republican’s attempts a “witch hunt” and said Canin was the victim in the attack and “now is being further victimized.”

The College Republicans club resolution on Canin is “unique,” said ASI Board of Directors Chair Kayleigh Bates, because it was already written before being brought to the attention of the Board.

“Typically, a director will write a resolution after hearing issues and exhausting all avenues to figure out if a resolution is the right path,” Bates said. “I think it was important and impactful for them coming forward to show how big of

an issue it is, and it means a lot that they felt comfortable sharing with our body during public comment.”

While the Governance Committee must review and approve the resolution, Bates said the resolution itself can be brought forward by any member of the board, not just those on the committee.

The College Republicans need a director to author their resolution for it to make it to the Governance Committee for review. Bates said that because of the many things that have to be done at the end of the spring semester, members of the board have to “be realistic” with their

time and may not pick up the resolution now as a result.

However, she said there are multiple avenues of getting things done and encouraged not necessarily being “fixated” on one path.

“I would encourage students to push how they feel is best,” Bates said. “I think students need to feel heard and I do think (the College Republicans club) did feel heard in this meeting.”

Bates said she will be bringing the comments made by College Republicans club members to the Board of Directors meeting on April 11 at 1:15 p.m. in Board Room 200.

OPINION Trump’s strike is undeserving of praise PAGE 5 MONDAY APRIL 10, 2017

Irresponsibly handling affairs in the Middle East shows the president’s heedless decision-making.

ASHLYN RAMIREZ ATHENA SOBHAN Daily Titan While CNN host Fareed Zakaria, among others, was quick to compliment President Donald J. Trump’s use of Tomahawk missiles on a Syrian air base last Thursday, it’s a stretch to say that one act has solidified his stance as a powerful and effective leader. If anything, such a thoughtless and hypocritical act shows blatant, gaping holes in the logic of the president.

The best thing to do would’ve been to implement a “no-fly” zone over Syria to continue fighting the bloody, mindless wrath of President Bashar al-Assad, while not stepping on Russia’s toes.

Instead, Trump reportedly launched 59 cruise missiles in retaliation to a chemical attack last Tuesday ordered by the Syrian government in which more than 80 people, including children, died at the hands of toxic Sarin gas.

Trump, shaken by photos

of Syrian children affected by the attack, called the attacks “egregious crimes” that “shouldn’t have happened,” in a press briefing.

Unfortunately this reaction and the subsequent actions, are just for show and are undeserving of the praise that it’s garnered.

Trump sat on the decision to handle al-Assad for all of two days. CNN National Security analyst Peter Bergen called the strike a decisive action in an article published April 7, which couldn’t have been further from reality.

Trump gave Russians on the ground no more than 90 minutes to get away from the airstrike. Trump’s hot-headed and irresponsible actions aren’t deserving of any praise.

The office of Syria’s president condemned the attack in a statement and Russia suspended all cooperation with the U.S. in Syria,

calling the launch a “disgraceful act,” according to the New York Times.

Russia also chimed in with displeasure during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council.

“The consequences of this for regional and international stability could be extremely serious,” said Russian Deputy Vladimir Safronkov.

Although Trump was in the presence of top military leaders, including Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, it never seemed to dawn on any of the men sitting around a table at the Mar-a-Lago that an attack like this is detrimental, not beneficial.

Now, the Assad administration has reason to flex its muscles, and Russia will, without a doubt, follow suit. Flagrantly launching missiles caused al-Assad to attack a Syrian observatory for human rights in the countryside on the same exact day from the same base that was just bombed by the US, according to Reuters.

The biggest issue is that there was a better way to solve this, and it was introduced in Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy during her presidential run. Her stance was to enforce a “no-fly” zone over Syria, effectively killing al-Assad’s military air force. However, Trump said that her policy would’ve started World War III. Syrians have praised Trump for the airstrike.

Mohamad Chaghlil, a

35-year-old refugee from Damascus, told the New York Times he hoped that the strike would trigger more action from Trump and the United States.

However, Chaghlil, like many others, questioned why this particular chemical attack triggered the American’s response rather than countless other atrocities committed on the Syrian people.

Trump is a hypocrite for saying the strike was for the children that suffered from the chemical attacks, but continues his attempt at banning Syrians from taking refuge in the U.S. from these types of atrocities.

Though the chemical attack was horrendous, it is not the first sickening attack from the Assad administration.

In 2013, then-President Barack Obama was made the decision to become involved in a growing unrest in Syria. Since that time, America has bombed seven countries using methods including Tomahawk missiles and drone strikes.

Trump himself was against getting involved with Syria at all, often attacking Obama on Twitter repeatedly over the issue, which is further perplexing.

What Trump did is not brave or as calculated as his administration and members of the media would like to think. It doesn’t make any sense why America is patting him on the back and giving him a cookie for his actions.

CATHRYN EDWARDS / DAILY TITAN

Instead of thinking about the effects that this strike would have with foreign relations, Trump decides to make a move.

A&E Music: Fiasco and ZHU bring the noise PAGE 6 APRIL 10, 2017 MONDAY

As students started to trickle into the venue early, they were welcomed with the music of PCH Crew, winner of ASI’s “Battle of the Bands.” The group began the evening with a feel-good blend of hip-hop, pop and rock.

Guitarist RJ Root is the only member of the California-based group who is actually a student at Cal State Fullerton. Frontman Patrick Rohn said events like the Spring Concert are important for the band’s exposure and introducing the student body to new sounds.

“I think every show, you got to give it your all because whether you gain one fan or hundreds or thousands, it really doesn’t matter, every fan is important,” Rohn said. “And it’s also great for the fans to find new music that isn’t being played on the radio every five seconds.”

Following PCH Crew’s set, winner of ASI “Battle of the DJs” DJ Niko came out with high energy as a small crowd began to form in front of the main stage. His remixes and electrifying beats were a change of pace from the band’s laid-back style.

Guests also engaged in the multiple activities and attractions scattered across the grounds. The most notable attraction was a chair swing ride that replaced last year’s Ferris wheel.

Other activities included a vortex tunnel which guests could walk through, a photo booth and designated areas where guests could caress and

In addition to the snakes, lizards and tortoises that were on display, tarantulas and frogs were available for brave guests to interact with.

Food trucks were also on site including Scooter’s Italian Ice, Coconut Truck, Bakery Truck, Nostimo and on-campus regulars like Barcelona On The Go and Crepes Bonaparte. Free food Vouchers were also handed out by ASI Volunteers on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Fiasco’s performance at Spring Concert comes two months after the release of his album

and featured a pro-education speech encouraging the crowd to stay in school. Fiasco went

on to say that CSUF is “bigger than Lupe Fiasco” and could invest its money in the future on more popular artists like Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

Fiasco’s popular hits “Superstar,” “The Show Goes On,” “Jump,” and “Hip-Hop Saved My Life” livened up the crowd for short spurts, prompting many audience members to throw their water bottles into the twilight sky.

Electronic musician ZHU delivered dazzling visuals and

exuberant melodies. His set was highlighted by a housestyle remix to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” He also played his more popular songs, including “Faded.”

All in all, some guests did not care so much for the headliners nor the activities and only attended the concert in search of good time and for the atmosphere.

“I just came for the vibes,” said third-year art major Jaemison Yoon-Hendricks.

Week of events seeks to promote creativity SARAH EL-MAHMOUD Daily Titan Fresh splashes of color and imagination will fill the air this week as students are invited to “Break the Mold” by attending Arts Week from April 9 to 14 organized by the College of Arts and Arts Inter-Club Council (AICC), the events will highlight creatives.

Art galleries, workshops, guest artists and musical performances will be held all around campus.

“We feel like Arts Week is the perfect opportunity for the College of the Arts to spread out and let their presence be known in the university,” said Janelle Valenzuela, co-advisor of AICC and graduate assistant for the College of the Arts.

At Titan Walk on Monday at noon, a 4-by-7-foot wide blank canvas with only an outline design will be

available for students to contribute and leave a mark on a communal mural. After it is transformed into a collaborative work of art, it will be showcased at many of the events throughout Arts Week and then donated back to the college.

On Wednesday April 12, the all-female Latin American group Trio Ellas will be playing in the central Quad, performing a traditional mariachi-style mixed with classic, romantic, jazz and country, Valenzuela said in an email.

Polysquad, among other clubs, will exhibit a virtual reality room at the Titan Student Union (TSU), where students can put on Oculus Rift glasses and be transported to the clubs’ chosen creative landscape.

The annual SOMA Visual Arts Show will also exhibit student submitted art throughout the TSU starting Monday, awarding them in the six categories including photography, sculpture, traditional illustration, digital illustration, traditional paint and graphic design. Pencil

HOROSCOPE PROVIDED BY tarot.com

ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)

These are the cosmic waves you’ve been waiting for, so grab your metaphorical surfboard and gear up for the action. Opportunistic Jupiter’s presence in your 7th House of Partnerships offers you new ways to work with the existing dynamics.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

Everything seems to be falling into place today. However, there’s no reason to assume that your good luck will carry you all the way to the top. Your legendary follow-through is arguably more important than making a big move today.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

There’s an inherent instability in the atmosphere today, but you might choose to ignore it because you want to express your hopes for the future.

Although you may feel extra lucky, it’s not wise to bet the farm on an emotional hunch.

CANCER

(Jun. 21 - Jul. 22)

A simple mood change could turn your day upside down, pulling you into intriguing and complex relationship dynamics. No matter how positive you are feeling about the future, you are driven to express unresolved feelings for the sake of clearing the air.

LEO

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

You’re on a roll today and everything you encounter seems to add a little extra boost to your momentum. Unfortunately, you could be so engrossed with your forward movement that you overlook a co-worker’s feelings or ride roughshod over the wishes of those who might be your biggest fans.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22)

Creative possibilities are blossoming all around you today. But the Moon’s visit to your perfectionist sign can be a hook that’s loaded with the bait of unrealistic expectations.

LIBRA

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

Seeing both sides of an argument is not a new dilemma for most fair-minded Libras. However, making a final deliberation is tough when opposing views are equally compelling.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

http://www.dailys CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Your clear vision of success motivates you to reach higher to achieve your ambitions. However, buoyant Jupiter creates an inflationary spiral in your 10th House of Public Life, possibly lifting you right off the ground.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You’re feeling a sense of professional pride today, stemming from your recent accomplishments. However, you’re reluctant to completely buy into the trappings of the material world, even if you’re in a position to amass power or wealth.

It’s tempting to create an action plan based on the bright blue sky of big ideas today. But you can easily mislead yourself into believing that your life is on track, even if it’s not.

SAGITTARIUS

(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

You may lose your sense of purpose, only to uncover a more meaningful mission later in the day. You’re normally not one to give up prematurely, but you’re tempted to toss in the towel when things don’t go your way today.

PISCES

Creating a tight agenda for the day is only one piece of the puzzle needed to manifest your hopes and dreams. In fact, willful Mars teams up with dark Pluto to channel news clips from the Underworld. Inexplicably, sharing your highly opinionated perspective doesn’t scare others off.

BAILEY CARPENTER / DAILY TITAN

Right-handed pitcher Kelsey Kessler pitched two games in the weekend series against Cal Poly in her first games play since March 23 since getting 17 stitches on her face after being bit by a dog. Kessler gave up four earned runs in 14.2 innings pitched.

Titans trampled in Cal Poly series Softball drops two of three games to topranked Mustangs.

ADAM CASTRO Daily Titan After splitting a doubleheader in its first day of a pivotal series against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal State Fullerton softball lost the finale of the series on Sunday.

“I wish we were 2-1 and not 1-2 in the series but I think as a whole, I think we got better and it’s never a loss if you get better,” said Associate Head Coach Jorge Araujo. “That’s

what I’m taking out of this, is that we got a little bit better.”

Game 1 Fullerton squandered a stellar pitching performance from Cerissa Rivera in game one, losing 1-0 in extra innings.

Rivera allowed one run in an eight-inning complete game, ending a 37-inning streak without an earned run. She struck out five and set down 24 of the 26 batters she faced before taking the loss.

The Mustangs took the lead in the top of the eighth on a solo home run by Courtney Tyler. It was Rivera’s only blemish of the game and the only run the

Mustangs would need.

“I didn’t get the result that I wanted,” Rivera said. “One pitch can define a game, and that’s what happened, but I’m still happy with how the game went and how my pitching was and what my defense did behind me.”

CSUF was not able to muster anything against Sierra Hyland, who went the distance and earned her Big West-leading 16th win of the season.

Game 2 In game two, Fullerton came from behind to beat the Mustangs 4-2 thanks to a fourrun fifth inning and a strong pitching performance by

senior Kelsey Kessler.

In her first game action since March 23, Kessler threw her ninth complete game of the year, going seven innings and giving up two earned runs while picking up her 11th win.

“I really think she did well,” Araujo said. “She makes big pitches when they’re needed.”

The Titans found themselves down 1-0 after four silent innings against Mustangs starter Lindsey Chalmers, but the Titans’ bats woke up in the fifth. Three consecutive twoout, bases-loaded singles gave the Titans a 4-1 lead.

“It felt like a big weight was

taken off our shoulders ,“ said catcher Lexi Gonzalez. “It took us most of the game, but once we finally got that initial run to tie it, the game was ours to take from there.”

Game 3 The Titans’ pitching collapsed late in game three, allowing five runs in the ninth inning to give Fullerton a tough 7-2 loss.

Fullerton trailed 1-0 until getting two runs in the fifth inning thanks to a Zoe Richard RBI double and Delynn Rippy RBI single gave them a 2-1 lead.

The game went into extra innings after a Hyland RBI

double tied the game at 2-2 in the sixth. The Mustangs broke through and took the lead in a five-run ninth inning against Kessler, highlighted by a two-run homer from Hailey Martin.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish it up at the end, but overall, I think we saw some growth and I think that’s all we want,” Araujo said. “I think our girls and our coaching staff understand that it’s not a sprint in the Big West.”

The Titans (20-18) next series will be on the road where they start a threegame series against the UC Davis Aggies (17-21) beginning Friday at 3 p.m.

Freshman second baseman Sahid Valenzuela continued his hot hitting with eight hits during the three-game series sweep over UC Davis.

Comeback: CSUF dominates UC Davis CONTINUED FROM

Tristan Hildebrandt stepped to the plate and laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third.

In just his second game back from injury, right-fielder Ruben Cardenas came up with a clutch RBI double to left field to narrow the Titans’ deficit to one run.

Two batters later, Fullerton got the break they needed as the second baseman’s throw to first sailed wide, allowing two runs to score and the Titans to put the game in the refrigerator.

“It’s a character builder,” Vanderhook said of the Titans’ comeback.

Titans 8, Aggies 5 Sunday, the Titans needed another comeback to sweep the series. After scoring three runs in the first, Fullerton gave up five in three innings to go down by a score of 5-3 heading into the bottom of the fifth.

CSUF answered with one run in the fifth to close the gap before unloading for four runs in the bottom of the seventh to take an 8-5 lead. This gave right-handed reliever Brett Conine a three-run lead to work with in his two innings of work.

Conine didn’t give up a single hit in his two innings and struck out three Aggies batters on his way to picking up his

sixth save of the season.

Freshman second baseman Sahid Valenzuela was the standout player of the weekend for Fullerton. Valenzuela racked up eight hits in three games against UC Davis on 14 at-bats.

“I’m just trying stay simple and not trying to do too much, just stay with my approach what I’ve been doing throughout the season,” Valenzuela said.

The Titans return to the diamond Thursday when they head to Los Angeles for a showdown with USC before returning home to finish the three game series at Goodwin Field Friday and Saturday.

Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team split its weekend series, losing to UC Santa Barbara Saturday before defeating Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Sunday.

UCSB The Titans lost their second game of the season Saturday, falling 4-1 on the road against UCSB. Despite it being only the Titans’ second loss of the season, the defeat was a costly one as it was their second in the Big West Conference.

CSUF started the match off on the right foot, securing the doubles point which the Titans have not lost yet this season.

Seniors Camille De Leon and Alexis Valenzuela clinched the doubles point after beating the 46thranked team of Melissa

Baker and Palina Dubavets by a score of 6-4.

However, that was the Titans’ only point of the day as the Gauchos swept the Titans in singles play.

Portalatin defeated Jaimee Gilbertson, 6-3, 6-4, with Stefani Stojic beating Nuno, 6-3, 6-3. Nuno and Portalatin beat Stojic and partner Amanda Atanasson (6-4) in doubles play.

UCSB clinched the day with two more victories in singles play. Atanasson defeated sophomore Masako Makiba, 6-3, 6-4, while Baker beat junior Danielle Pham, 6-1, 5-7, 6-0.

The matches of CSUF’s top two singles players, De Leon and Valenzuela, went unfinished.

This loss was the Titans’ 18th straight defeat at the hands of UCSB since 2000.

Cal Poly CSUF was able to save the weekend by eking out a victory against the Cal Poly Mustangs 4-3.

Once again, the Titans were able to start the day off one

point ahead by winning the doubles point. De Leon and Valenzuela won their 11th straight doubles match with a 6-1 win over Molly Reed and Seriana Saltzen.

The Titans then jumped to an early three-point lead with singles victories by Pham (6-0, 6-4) and Makiba (6-3, 6-1).

The Mustangs did not let up and came roaring back to tie the Titans with three straight singles victories. De Leon (62, 6-3), Nuno (7-5, 6-1) and Portalatin (6-2, 7-6) all lost in straight sets to their Cal Poly counterparts.

However, Valenzuela came through for the team and clinch the victory in three sets against Susanne Boyden (6-4, 4-6, 6-4).

The Titans are now 16-2 overall with a 4-2 conference record. The team is just one win away from tying the program record of 17 wins they set last season.

With just three games left, the Titans will look to break that mark and keep afloat in the Big West when they face Cal State Northridge April 15.
