Travel ban expanded to North Korea List of countries with restricted US access grows amid global tension. AMY WELLS

Asst. News Editor

The Trump administration announced new travel restrictions Sunday for North Korea, Venezuela and Chad. These countries will join the five that were listed in Trump’s revised travel ban from March, with the exception of Sudan which was dropped with this

new revision. This is the third revision of the Executive Order that bans travel to the U.S. from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. The purpose of the limited and suspended travel restrictions are to “protect its citizens from terrorist attacks and other

public-safety threats,” according to the White House Presidential Proclamation. The restrictions for Venezuela are targeted at the nation’s government agencies’ officials and their immediate family members for failing “to share public safety and terrorism-related

information adequately.” Trump extended the ban to North Korea for “(not cooperating) with the United States government in any respect and fails to satisfy all information-sharing requirements.” The new restrictions will be effective on Oct.18, shortly

before the administration’s refugee ban from the six majority-muslim nations is set to expire on Oct. 24. The total list of countries with travel restrictions now includes Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, Venezuela and Chad.

Celebrating Titans under the stars Two Title IX policies revoked

Titans of all ages flocked to the Intramural Field Saturday evening to enjoy hours of entertainment at Cal State Fullerton’s annual Concert Under the Stars. In addition to providing live music, the event also commemorated the university’s 60th anniversary with a Diamond Jubilee theme. As the sun began to set, donors, alumni and faculty filed to their assigned tables on the front half of the field as the first-come, first-served lawn seating quickly filled up. Administrative assistant for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Celia Reynolds and her daughter Teresa Reynolds, a senior analytics major, arrived over two hours before the show began to make sure they could get front row spots on the lawn. “I’ve been coming every year since (2005),” said Celia Reynolds. “I like the fireworks. I like the music.” Celia and Teresa Reynolds were in for a treat when professor of music Bill Cunliffe brought out the College of the Arts Jazz Ensemble to prepare the audience before the main program began.

A circle of about 40 protesters held hands in unity in front of District 39 Congressman Ed Royce’s campaign office in Yorba Linda Saturday to serve as an emotional support system for those scared of potentially losing their health care. The Hear Our Voice Healthcare Rally, which was co-hosted by Indivisible CA39, the Courage Campaign and the #Fight4OurHealth coalition, hoped to urge Royce to oppose the bill proposed by Sens. Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy. Indivisible CA-39 Action Committee Chair Viviana Martinez helped organize the rally to attract Royce’s attention.

“We’re just trying to find a way to say ‘Hey, we’re not scary people. We’re just your constituents and we want to have a conversation with you. We don’t agree with the choices you’re making when you vote and you’re representing us, and we’re a big part of this population and I think you should care,’” Martinez said. The Graham-Cassidy Bill could create a block grant program allowing states to control the spending of its hospitals and end former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which has provided services like affordable and low-cost health insurance to people with disabilities and pre-existing conditions. The potentially affected constituents shared their stories and unleashed their voice, hoping to sway Royce toward voting “No” on the bill.

The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced Friday it will be withdrawing two statements of policy and guidance for Title IX based on legal criticism through a Dear Colleague Letter. It will begin developing a new approach to student sexual misconduct through a process with more public input, which the CSU system will be a “strong participant” in, according to a statement from Chancellor Timothy P. White. The two documents being withdrawn are the previous Dear Colleague Letter regarding sexual violence from 2011 and a Q&A regarding Title IX and sexual violence from 2014. SEE TITLE IX

Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer closed its nonconference season with a two-game winning streak featuring dramatic shutout to drive it toward its opening Big West match next weekend. “There was a couple moments where we weren’t happy with our performance but every time that happened, we always bounced back and showed who we really were,” said forward Sarah Fajnor. “In past years, our nonconference has been a hit or miss and this year kind of a hit, and so I think we’re ready and really excited to use this as motivation.” After a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the University of Denver, the Titans went into their final weekend of nonconference matches looking to regain their rhythm. “We wanted to end

FOR THE RECORD It is Daily Titan policy to correct factual errors printed in the publication. Corrections will be published on the subsequent issue after an error is discovered and will appear on page 2. Errors on the Opinion page will be corrected on that page. Corrections will also be made to the online version of the article. Please contact Editor-in-Chief Zack Johnston at (657) 278-5815 or at editorinchief@dailytitan.com to report any errors.

“The 2011 and 2014 guidance documents may have been well-intentioned, but those documents have led to the deprivation of rights for many students – both accused students denied fair process and victims denied an adequate resolution of their complaints,” Friday’s letter read. The 2011 Dear Colleague Letter extended Title IX requirements to sexual violence as well as sexual harassment and laid out procedural requirements for organizations receiving federal funding on disseminating official notices about commitments to not discriminate, designating Title IX coordinators and publishing grievance procedures. It also established steps for schools to take proactive measures in preventing incidents of sexual misconduct. The 2014 Q&A elaborated on and sought to “further

clarify the legal requirements and guidance” of the 2011 letter as well as the Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance from 2001. “The department imposed these regulatory burdens without affording notice and the opportunity for public comment,” Friday’s letter read. As a result, OCR will be working on a new policy “that aligns with the purpose of Title IX to achieve fair access to educational benefits” based on more integrated public comment and the concerns of stakeholders. OCR referred to a Q&A on Campus Sexual Misconduct released alongside Friday’s Dear Colleague Letter, its Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance from 2001 and a Dear Colleague Letter from 2006 for Title IX enforcement policies and regulations that will still be relevant while the process of setting up new guidelines is ongoing.

“In the 45 years since the passage of Title IX, we have seen remarkable progress toward an educational environment free of sex discrimination,” Friday’s letter read. “The Department remains committed to enforcing these critical protections and intends to do so consistent with its mission under Title IX to protect fair and equitable access to education.” White’s Friday statement in response to the Dear Colleague Letter said the CSU system will “ensure our values are represented at the table” while new sexual misconduct guidances are developed. “As we wait for OCR’s process to unfold, I assure you the CSU’s existing policies will continue to protect our students and employees, and provide a fair process to all,” White’s statement read. “Today’s letter from the OCR does not change CSU’s approach because compassion

and fairness to all parties is a bedrock of our existing policies.” White said the CSU system continually reviews its policies and will “not be deterred” from providing more safe, fair, compassionate and equal opportunities to university communities. CSUF Chief Communications Officer Jeffrey Cook said in an email that he has not had the opportunity to discuss these developments with colleagues as of Saturday, but that he is confident CSUF will participate in the CSU system’s effort to have a voice in the process. “This issue is very important to us as we continue to combat sexual harassment and sexual violence,” Cook said in an email. “I would echo the Chancellor’s comments that we remain committed to ‘fairness, compassion, and equal opportunity’ at our university.”

Representatives from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences gathered in the HSS quad to inform a steady turnout of students about the different resources available to them. “We’re just out here today to make sure that students who are new to humanities and social sciences know about the resources we provide and all the services that we offer as a department,” said graduate assistant for the African American Resource Center Erica Claybrook. The Academic Advisement Center offered forms for students to change their major, as well as information for those who are undeclared at the HSS Fall Welcome event Thursday. “We are here to be a resource for students who are looking into majors,” said associate director for the Academic Advisement Center Josh Loudon. “We want to help guide them into making decisions.” Aside from the different majors and minors, the event also hosted many organizations that provide help to students who need it. The Diversity Initiative & Resource Centers offered information on their five different identity-based spaces, including the Titan Dreamers Resource Center, which supports undocumented students.

They get a certain amount of free sessions (and) free therapy,” said CAPS psychologist Cynthia Martinez, Ph.D. “We want them to know that so before they get in trouble ... They can come talk to a counselor, maybe get back on track.” Resource organizations like Disability Support Services and the University Learning Center were also represented at the event. “There are free resources available to students here on this campus … We support

students across the curriculum,” said ULC tutor and student assistant Megan Miller. “Right now we are tutoring over 50 different courses. We have a team of 12 tutors that represent almost every different college on this campus.” Senior Tanisha Hicks passed by the event and used the opportunity to learn about the academics and programs that HSS offers. “I stopped at a few of the tables and got information that’s really going to be useful to me with the DSS program. Then there’s the study abroad information since I’m thinking about studying abroad next year,” Hicks said. However, students weren’t the only ones who stopped

by to learn more about what HSS offers. Professors and other CSUF staff attended the event to learn more as well. “I’m actually out here because I’m trying to get information for my students ... to explore minors, explore what certificates, what other people are doing in other colleges,” said Human Services academic advisor Ramona Perez. “Our campus is big and many times, we kind of just stick with our unit, our little club circle and we don’t really explore outward. That’s why I’m coming out here, getting a bunch of brochures, seeing what else is out there for my own students.”

Rally signs read “Medicaid cuts hurt the most fragile … like my dad,” and some of the stories shared ranged from daughters with spinal muscular atrophy to sons with cerebral palsy. “I don’t know what would be the next step. (My son) wouldn’t have services. I’d have to quit my job, then what would I do? How would I live? How would I take care of him?” said Foothill Ranch resident Laura Reyes. Reyes’ son is diagnosed with cerebral palsy and relies heavily on medical services. “Shame on them!” was the crowd’s response.. Martinez said the ACA has made a big difference from before it was enacted, when it was difficult to treat everyone that needed aid but

couldn’t afford it. “I remember life before the ACA and what it was like and I know what life has been since the ACA and how many people have been helped,” she said. Martinez said that when she worked for a private non-profit that was medical based, she would be faced with the difficulty of not being able to aid everyone because of funding. “Many times, it was always a routine. April would hit, and we’d get the numbers and be told ‘Ok we don’t have enough money to get through June so we have to end services,’ whether or not people were ready,” Martinez said. Placentia resident Christian Swann shared the story of his 7-year-old daughter Kennedy, who was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy.

“The FDA approved the first treatment to treat her disease. Her treatment is $750,000 a year, every single year for the rest of her life. Without the ACA, she won’t be able to have this treatment, SPINRAZA (the first FDA-approved therapy for SMA),” Swann said. “Without treatment, Kennedy would grow weaker and weaker until she passes away.” Swann said they are lucky to have a good health care plan but said with the Graham-Cassidy Bill, that could all be over. The rally concluded with protesters moving toward the front of Royce’s new campaign office to take a commemorative photo and release a final chorus of steadfast chanting. The office had a volunteer event to spread word of Royce’s upcoming reelection

Two hundred and fifty-nine students registered for the event located in the Titan Student Union Pavilions. “You get to network with different people and find out what it is you want to do,” said Justine Zevallos, who checked in students at the expo.

is the only position that we have,” Flores said. “We have more positions behind (the) scenes.” Along with making job and internship connections, students at the career fair also learned directly from potential employers about what they wanted in a recruit. “We’re looking for students who are motivated and driven (who) also want to impact the community that they live in,” said CSUF alumnus and recruiter from Habitat for Humanity Colby Conder. Conder graduated from CSUF in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. He didn’t attend a career fair during his time at

the university or after graduation, so he experienced the difficulties of job searching on the internet firsthand. One benefit of a career fair is that students can interact in person with a potential employer, Conder said. “You get a sense of the people that work there, to see if you’re really going to mesh well with the other individuals working,” Conder said. Senior communications major Megan Ayala said she came to the career expo to widen her job possibilities. “It opens up a lot of opportunities for students,” Ayala said. “It broadens people’s world views that these are other options for you, rather than just go for the job everyone else is going to go for.”

They’re all over the place.” With a full lawn and the jazz ensemble off the stage, the lights dimmed and the show began with two energetic opening numbers before alumni Lauren Stevens and Ryan Nearhoff took the stage to tell the story about how their relationship came to be at CSUF, dedicating their songs to “the everlasting relationships formed at Cal State Fullerton.” Titan pride continued to shine as alumna Erin McNally took the stage with Tuffy and company for a fun (albeit cheesy), fully-choreographed number expressing love for their favorite mascot with chants of “Oh Tuffy, you’re so fine. You’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Tuffy.” The energy on stage flowed into the audience

when attendees danced in front of the stage as the show went on.

Review: ‘Kingsman’ sequel surpasses original

‘The Golden Circle’ is action-packed, comical and character driven. JULIAN MUNIZ Staff Writer

Good sequels are difficult to achieve, especially when the first film is an unexpected success, like director Matthew Vaughn’s “Kingsman: The Secret Service” back in 2014. It feels great to say that “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” is an absolute blast that will keep viewers at the edge of their seats. The film is a fun-filled, action-comedy that redefines the stereotypical spy movie and successfully surpasses the series’ first installment. Vaughn utilized the film’s R-rating by developing violent action sequences while simultaneously including crude humor to balance it out. The more frequent use of technological gadgets, like electronic lassos and machine-gun umbrellas, made this more appealing than the first film. The first car chase scene in “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” sets the tone for the rest of the movie by incorporating music from Prince and Elton John, which keeps the brawling fun running throughout the remainder of the film. The movie takes place a year after the events of “Kingsman: The Secret Service” when Eggsy (Taron Egerton) and Merlin (Mark Strong) are caught off guard when someone has terminated

the rest of the Kingsman’s agents. The tragic events lead Eggsy and Merlin to resort to the doomsday protocol for which they partner up with their American counterparts, the Statesman agency. The majority of the film is set in Kentucky, the home base of the Statesman agency. However, the main characters travel to different continents including Europe and Asia. Working together, they set out on a mission to stop a lunatic drug lord by the name of Poppy, played by Julianne Moore, who plans to gain notoriety by implementing her horrific drug-related plot. The film’s constant use of flashback sequences and scenarios from the first film works well in further developing their characters, especially Harry Hart, played by Colin Firth. Hart’s return to the franchise brought an emotional drive to the film overall and led to dramatic performances from the supporting cast. It was especially exciting to see how much the characters from “Kingsman: The Secret Service” have grown in terms of their identities. Eggsy has become somewhat of a leader of the Kingsman agency and even Merlin evolved from running things behind the computer screen to fighting alongside Eggsy on field missions. The movie assembled a star-studded cast that gave entertaining performances by Jeff Bridges, Channing Tatum and Halle Berry. With that being

said, the performance that stood out most came from Pedro Pascal, who plays Whiskey. Whiskey was the most charismatic character when it came down to his fighting style and all-American charm. He personified the ideal southern rancher from the accent down to his kick-ass skill set with a lasso, making him a total badass. Although “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” came together marvelously in many ways, Tatum’s character, Agent Tequila was a minor disappointment. When he first appeared, he was introduced as a charming, smooth-talking Statesman agent who knew his hand in combat. Tatum had quite the personality, but he was too much of a likable character to have only been in the movie for a couple scenes. Unfortunately, Tatum had minimal screen time compared to other characters and that was truly a shame. There was an extensive variety of trailers and teasers for the film that had Tatum’s face all over them as if he was going to have a crucial role in the storyline, but it felt as if the movie only used him to draw audiences’ attention. Nevertheless, his cowboy-like demeanor is enjoyable to watch, which makes Agent Tequila’s moments in the movie that much more special. All in all, “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” did the first installment justice by amping up both the action and comedy from start to finish.

You can find a spot. It’s happened to me before, even this semester, but it just takes so much time and sometimes, you don’t find anything.

“

With the CSUF fall semester a month underway, students are still going the extra mile to cope with the congested parking issue that plagues the campus. Due to fierce overcrowding in designated parking structures and lots, students have had the opportunity to use the campus shuttle service since the beginning of the semester. The two shuttles, which transport students to and from the First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton parking lots every 10 to 15 minutes, offer students an additional option that reduces the stress of searching for a parking spot. “I’m new here. I didn’t know parking was this overwhelming and stressful,” said Yanet Perez, a liberal studies major who currently takes the shuttle four days a week. For students who attend classes from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the struggle to find parking is all too common. “I have a 10 o’clock class, so it’s almost impossible to find parking at 9:30,” said James Hayton, a kinesiology major who frequently uses the shuttle service. “It helps me out because it’s just super easy to get on the shuttle and take it to school.” It’s not impossible to find a spot for students who pass on the shuttle, but the search isn’t quick. “You can find a spot.

JAMES LINDSEY CSUF Student James Lindsey, who rides the shuttle Monday through Thursday. Lindsey had mixed, but mostly positive feelings about the service.

6 OPINION People should stray away from drinking pop

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2017

Limiting the amount of soda consumed may lower health issues.

RICK PIÑON

Asst. Opinion Editor

Popping open a crisp, cold Coke initially sounds great, with its bouncing bubbles and candy like sweetness. As the liquid flows smoothly down throats, the cola slowly begins to break down the enamel in the mouth, putting consumers at greater risk of cavities. Before reaching the stomach and creating sugars that increase weight gain, it will attack the heart and increase the chances of a heart attack as well as chronic heart disease, according to a 2012 study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. If that’s not enough to limit daily consumption of soda, then maybe a raised risk of pulmonary complications within the lungs will. These dangers don’t seem to deter people from drinking 39 grams of sugar per 12-ounce Coca-Cola daily or even multiple times a day. People would reconsider their cola consumption if the impact of these drinks were made into real issues. Soft drinks can create a domino effect, leading to more dangerous addictions that could take the body over the edge. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention

People should be aware of what daily consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages can do to harm one’s body, because soda may pose an increased risk to health, leading to concerns like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and gout.

reported that those who consume larger quantities of sugary soft drinks are more likely to smoke, not exercise and constantly eat fast food. Approximately 50.6 percent of U.S. adults consume at least one sugar-sweetened beverage on any given day, according to a 2010 survey published in PubMed, a free resource maintained by the National

Center for Biotechnology Information. The sugar levels found within these drinks are terrifying. A 20-ounce can of soda contains about 15 to 18 teaspoons of sugar and an upwards of 240 calories, while a 64-ounce fountain drink could reach around 700 calories, according to Harvard’s School of Public Health. The health risks caused

DeVos should refrain from altering Title IX Sexual misconduct on campuses are handled justly by colleges.

NATALIE NUESCA Staff Writer

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos criticized the Dear Colleague Letter during her speech about sexual misconduct on campuses. Although she announced no specific changes, it seems she is possibly rescinding this portion of Title IX. This action must be prevented because it would be a huge step back for the U.S. Title IX is a section of the Education Acts of 1972 that fights against discrimination of sex. In 2011, under former President Barack Obama’s administration, the U.S. Department of Education released a Dear Colleague Letter in regards to Title IX. This guidance gives schools detailed protocol for handling sexual misconduct cases among students. The act draws more attention to sexual misconduct on campuses and allows schools to effectively take immediate action, especially when the government is unable to. Title IX should stay because it gives an extra protective layer for students.

Additionally, students may be increasingly more comfortable with speaking up about their experiences when they know that action will be taken to protect them. During her speech, DeVos said “Washington has burdened schools with increasingly elaborate and confusing guidelines.” But the Dear Colleague Letter seems to be clear about which forms of sexual misconduct and which situations warrant an investigation of an incident. It proves usefulness by providing a guide to help schools decide what to do when certain situations arise so that they can take action to further prevent this issue from occurring in the future. DeVos brought up the issue of the lack of due process on both sides of a sexual misconduct case. This would mean taking it up with the legal system. The prosecution may take years before a perpetrator of sexual misconduct is convicted. Survivors of sexual abuse will not want to run into their perpetrators after such a traumatizing experience. Imagine the pain and horror of having to face the person who took away something that can never be given back. For survivors to wait possibly years for their perpetrators to pay for the crime they committed, is absolutely absurd. Acts of sexual abuse are disgusting and dehumanizing. The Title IX Guidance alleviates this. It gives schools the authority to make the

environment safer for survivors by taking necessary actions against the perpetrators, whether that be firing the student from their on-campus job or expelling them. DeVos stated that the previous administration “listened to survivors, who have brought this issue out from the backrooms of student-life offices and into the light of day.” She wrongly criticized the act calling it a “failed system.” It has helped shed light on an issue far too common on school campuses. Given sexual assault incidents’ history as a largely taboo topic in the past, DeVos should be grateful, not critical of the attention that is being drawn toward them. Now our society has become more open to hearing stories in regards to sexual abuse, and now survivors are less afraid to speak up about it. More are willing to talk about their experiences. Students are being heard. They are being viewed as survivors rather than victims, the latter term indicating weakness. With Title IX, more people would accept the fact that sexual abuse is an issue in society, leading to more survivors speaking out. The first step to solving the problem is bringing awareness to it, which is what the 2011 Title IX Guidance is doing. To have it rescinded would mean taking a huge step back in the progress that former President Barack Obama made.

by overconsumption of soda are wrongly dismissed. Soda elevates chances of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and gout. Sugar-sweetened beverage consumers should be aware of the actual health risks of these sorts of fluids and cut back. Men and women who drink one 12-ounce serving of a sugary drink per day displayed a higher chance of gaining weight over time,

according to a 2011 study published in PubMed. Health groups should counter-advertise soda company ads to alert the public with more specific information about the dangers these drinks pose to the body. Another option includes pushing toward involving the federal or state governments. Philadelphia is leading the way to a health revolution by passing a tax bill

that taxes soft drinks made with sugar-based sweetener or an artificial substitute at a rate of 1.5 cents per ounce. With the restriction of soda and soft drinks, the body could truly become a temple. Put down the Coke and pick up a bottle of flavored water if a similar taste is needed, and stay educated on the true destruction of the human body caused by a can of soda.

OPINION 7 ‘Star Trek’ is not given the credit it deserves MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2017

Series served as inspiration for tech advancements. STEPHANIE DELATEUR Freelance Writer

“Star Trek” first aired in 1966 but was incredibly futuristic and influential for its time. The show featured groundbreaking concepts such as the communicator and the touch screen. These fictitious creations seemed unreachable but now sit at human fingertips. What most don’t realize, is that “Star Trek” may have inspired others with the technological innovations displayed in the series. For instance, teleportation may be thought of as unattainable with today’s technology, but it may come sooner than “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry predicted. In July, Chinese scientists proclaimed they were able to teleport a light particle from Earth to space. The teleportation didn’t involve physical movement of a person from one place to another, but it serves as proof of the beginning of a new innovation. This sort of fiction should be referred to as temporary fiction. The technological ideas exhibited in “Star Trek” have inspired others to convert these ideas into realities. Hand-held communication devices came from Roddenberry’s imagination. The concept resembles today’s tablets: An idea that was fictitious, but is now real and essential in most people’s daily lives. “Star Trek: The Next Generation” showcased the touch screen, a piece of technology incorporated into most modern-day cell phones. The show, again, could be attributed with the initial inspiration. Data, a robot with artificial intelligence, was also initially

Gene Roddenberry, creator of ‘Star Trek,’ displayed a lot of technological innovations, such as hand-held communication devices that were considered fictional for its time. Little did people know, the series served as an inspiration for today’s technology.

featured on the show working aboard the Starship Enterprise. Data had a human appearance with incredible strength and intelligence, but lacked human emotions. Now robots are being used in factories to help humans perform difficult tasks, and can also understand emotions. Facebook artificial intelligence researchers created a robot that learned to

comprehend human emotions after watching Skype for several hours. The advancement drove scientists to create an AI robot that appeared real and emotional. This is a much less advanced form of Data, but the idea became reality nonetheless. Another idea from “Star Trek” was the main computer, a software in the ship that could verbally answer

anything one might ask. Today there is Siri, a virtual assistant on the iPhone. VentureBeat said Apple made adjustments to Siri adding the ability to translate sentences in different languages, the ability to act as a personal DJ and a more human-sounding voice for the iPhone 8. Once again, an idea that came from the imagination of “Star Trek” creators. The surprisingly accurate

technological predictions in “Star Trek” displays the power of the imagination. These ideas are essential to the creation of technology because it acts as a starting point for future advancements. They could even become integrated into everyone’s lives, just like the touch screen and the communicator. The 21st century is truly an exciting time to be alive. In only a few decades,

humans have created the most incredible inventions, most of which have evolved tremendously. In the years to come, the public is going to witness spectacular new advancements in technology. People should be excited for the coming advancements, since nobody knows the end to the technological growth and the potential impact it may bring.

BAILEY CARPENTER / DAILY TITAN

Cal State Fullerton forward Sarah Fajnor and forward Atlanta Primus are now in a three-way tie for top scorer on the Titans after midfielder Samantha Koemans scored her fifth goal this season that contributed to the Titans shutout match against Grand Canyon University.

Shutout: CSUF extends winning streak CONTINUED FROM

Fajnor led the Titans with the first and final goal of the match and midfielder Samantha McKenna sandwiched the first goal of her college career in between. “A 3-0 win is huge for us. It really gets the offense going, which gets defense going, which gets the whole team going,” Fajnor said. The momentum CSUF gained in its previous match carried over to its final nonconference game against the Grand Canyon University Antelopes as it racked up five shots on goal 10 minutes into the first half. Morales, controlling the ball through GCU defenders, scored her first goal of

the season, giving the Titans a 1-0 advantage in the 20th minute. Shortly into the 26th minute, midfielder Samantha Koemans scored after a run along the sideline and an assist from Fajnor, adding another goal to the scoreboard. Late into the 33rd minute of the half, forward Connie Caliz found her footing outside the box to give the Titans a 3-0 lead and score her very first goal of the season. “Different players scoring this time around just shows that anyone on the team is a goal scorer,” Caliz said. The Titans’ 24 shots to GCU’s seven continued to provide offensive pressure for the remainder of the match. As the half neared the final

20 minutes of play, substitutions allowed different Titans to take the field. “I think it helps bring the team together,” Fajnor said. “Everyone getting a chance to play, getting minutes, it’s huge going into conference because conference is huge for us and there’s going to be hidden heroes that come off the bench.” In the 76th minute, McKenna scored the fourth and final goal for the Titans off a pass from Hailey Pohevitz. The Titans continued to hold their lead and shut down GCU 4-0. “We have a powerhouse,” Caliz said. “There’s no stopping us from here on out. We have players from every position that can score.”

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer continued to roll with its third win in its last four games, a 1-0 win over the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels at Titan Stadium Friday. The win allowed the Titans to finish nonconference play with a record of 5-3-1. The match was midfielder Irving Arvizu’s third time starting for the Titans after he nearly redshirted the season. Instead, Arvizu’s unexpected start on defense against Vermont a week ago earned him extra playing time. “It was definitely motivating for me just to be on the pitch that day,” Arvizu said. “I just had to give it my best. It wasn’t my normal position, so it was something new for me.” Arvizu wasn’t the only member of the Titans to step up. CSUF defender Corentin Ohlmann made his return to the field in the win, starting for the Titans after a twogame absence, and he credits the team’s success over their last three games to their ability to adapt to adversity. “We have freshmen stepping in and running the back, and we’re just all doing our job,” Ohlmann said. The Titans took charge offensively in the first half of the match, firing five shots at UNLV goalie Enrique Adame. The activity paid off when Ross McPhie scored his fourth goal of the season by taking advantage of the rebound off a free kick from Mark Hernandez in the 31st minute. “It takes a team effort to get in the back of the net. I’m just the one there,” McPhie said. “I always try to be an option. If you’re always an option, then you’ll always

The Titans will leave nonconference play in the rearview mirror as they begin their conference schedule at UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly Thursday and Saturday, respectively, with a stronger record than they

held at the same point last season. Titans Head Coach George Kuntz is satisfied with the way his team is entering Big West play. “One of our goals was not to get .500. We wanted a winning record going into league,” Kuntz said. “Knowing where we came from, where we started, we had a couple speed bumps, but we’ve come a long way.”

12 SPORTS Titans drop three matches in conference MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2017

CSUF fell short in both of its road matches over the weekend. HARRISON FAIGEN Managing Editor

Cal State Fullerton women’s volleyball entered conference play two wins short of tying its six-win overall record from the 2016-2017 season. That tie will have to wait if it comes at all. The Titans are still searching for their first Big West victory of the season after dropping their first three games of conference play, including both contests of their two-game road trip to Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara. The Cal Poly Mustangs stampeded over the Titans in straight sets Friday as part of their three-game winning streak to open Big West play and move into first place in the conference. The Titans lost every set by at least nine points while Cal Poly produced 25 more kills than CSUF, despite Summer Kerins racking up six kills to lead the Titans in the stat for the first time this season. However, the rest of the Titans’ offense was trampled by the Mustangs as Cal Poly’s stifling defense only allowed CSUF to put up a kill percentage of .054, which paled in comparison to the Mustang’s own .477. Cal Poly also held massive advantages over the Titans in digs (43-29) and assists (49-25) while committing just eight errors compared to CSUF’s 20. The Titans didn’t fare much better on the second leg of their first road back-toback of Big West play. CSUF was swept for the second consecutive game when they traveled to Santa Barbara to
