Threat to DACA imperils the undocumented Trump expected to undo education safeguard Tuesday BRANDON PHO Daily Titan Undocumented students at CSUF now face a question of security amid reports of President Donald

Trump’s impending decision to terminate Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an executive order signed into law by Barack Obama in 2012. “Our university police departments will not honor immigration hold requests, and our university police will not contact, detain, question or arrest individuals solely on the basis of

being – or suspected of being – a person who lacks documentation,” said CSU Chancellor Timothy White in a Feb. 22 written statement responding to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly’s memoranda on Trump’s border security and immigration-related orders. White stipulated in his memo that Kelly’s

statements did not affect existing DACA policies and that he was not expecting subsequent “stepped up enforcement” on CSU campuses. He said any member of the CSU community that has been approached by federal, state or local officials regarding documentation or immigration status should contact the

University Police Department, which will act as a liaison and coordinate with the Office of General Council to provide guidance. Students have a variety of rights in the event that they encounter an Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The Immigration Legal Resource Center has

Push to allow larger occupancy raises citizen concerns. ETHAN PESCHANSKY Daily Titan

Fullerton City Council voted 5-0 Aug. 15 to approve a Resolution of Intent to address a proposition to change the maximum occupancy of downtown bars. Changes to the downtown occupancy restrictions have procedural hurdles to overcome before they are enacted. “We need more information. We have a lot of questions about how we can better regulate these businesses, and I think we need those answers,” said Councilman Greg Sebourn. Many downtown Fullerton business owners have requested the City Council approve changes to lower restrictions at many of their establishments. Currently, downtown bars are subject to a requirement stating that one person be allowed for every 15 square feet available for the building’s maximum occupancy. If approved, the maximum occupancy requirement would match the California law, totalling one person for every 7 square feet. Bar owners are claiming damages to their business because restrictions are driving customers to neighboring cities. “We’re just asking for a chance to compete. We’re asking leadership to step up and give us the opportunity to help Fullerton grow,” said Joe Florentine, owner of Florentine’s Grill. Many complaints have piled up over the years about the downtown Fullerton bar scene. Fights, vandalism and public drunkenness are some of the problems associated with downtown. Citizens are worried that increasing the maximum occupancy downtown will worsen these problems. SEE BARS 3

Before Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical phenomenon “Hamilton” gained massive popularity, his musical “In the Heights,” changed how CSUF alumnus Rubén Carbajal saw his potential as an actor. “I remember sitting there and thinking, ‘I can see myself on that stage,’ and it was because I saw people that looked like me. I heard people speak the way I speak, the way my family members speak,” Carbajal said. Carbajal now sees himself onstage eight shows a week at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre playing John Laurens and Phillip Hamilton in Miranda’s “Hamilton.” He visited the Titan Theater last Monday to speak to CSUF students and alumni about his professional journey during an intimate event. CSUF professor Jeremy Lewis hosted the “Inside the Actor’s Studio”-type event presented by CSUF’s Office of Alumni Engagement,

followed by an exclusive meet and greet. The day Carbajal first met Miranda at the stage door after an “In the Heights” performance years ago was among the stories he told the captivated audience. “I was very lucky to see

(Miranda) perform. I remember it was super quick but it felt like I was meeting someone that I knew was going to change my life. I shook his hand and I remember saying, ‘Hey man, you’re my idol. I really appreciate everything you’re

doing for us, Latinos,’” Carbajal said. “Little did I know, I would be in one of his shows.” Before graduating in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree of fine arts in musical theatre, Carbajal starred in campus productions such as

“Legally Blonde,” “Spring Awakening” and “Kiss Me, Kate.” Right out of college, he was able to star in an “In the Heights” production along with a few others based in Orange County. SEE HAMILTON

Titans take first loss of the season CSUF women’s soccer ends undefeated streak against Utah. YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA KATHRYNE PADILLA Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer recorded its first loss of the season Sunday in a double-overtime, 2-1 defeat against the University of Utah Utes. “It’s a disappointing result, and we thought we could’ve gotten more. But that’s how football is sometimes. We just pick our heads up and go again for the next game,” Atlanta Primus said. For the duration of the match, the Titans maintained pressure on the Utes’ defense. However, both teams remained scoreless in the first half. The Titans re-entered the match in the second half with more intensity, despite weather conditions that made it difficult for both teams to effectively take advantage of any opportunities to score. The Utes attempted to

The Fox Block Development Plan is meant to replace the Ellis Place parking lot using one of four development plans: A 200-space parking structure, a parking structure plus a mixed-use building, condominiums on top of a 260-space lot or a movie theater with a 260-space lot.

The parking structure-only plan would build the 200-space parking structure in the Ellis Place lot and cost $7.2 million. Fullerton currently has $6.2 million designated to the project by the Redevelopment Agency and would require an extra $1 million contribution from the city. It also includes “improvements” to Ellis Place and Fox Alley. The parking structure-plus plan not only includes the parking structure but also the triangle lot, located across from Angelo’s and Vinci’s, which would be developed into a two-story, mixed-use building. Another building for mixeduse or office space would be built on the lot located at the corner of Chapman and Pomona Avenue.

The Fullerton City Council and Planning Commission postponed deciding on which of four potential ways the Fox Block Development Plan would replace the Ellis Place parking lot, at a joint session meeting Tuesday. The council also voted to extend the city’s contract with the developer Pelican Communities, who have been overseeing the effort to relieve Fullerton’s parking issue, for another nine months. “They’re all feasible. All four (plans) could be implemented physically. They have different degrees of difficulty,” said division manager from Pelican Communities, Richard Hamm.

RICHARD HAMM Pelican Communities division manager rant to make way for development. •

The movie theater plan would build the 260-space parking structure and include an 8-screen movie theater and retail courtyard. Pelican Communities developed this plan to give the possibility of a family-friendly space in

a longstanding agreement between the owners of Angelo’s and Vinci’s restaurant and Fullerton’s now-defunct Redevelopment Agency. However, reception for the four potential plans was mixed. City Council members were eager to see development on the Ellis Place lot, but disagreed on which approach would be best to utilize. Council members Jesus Silva and Jennifer

Fitzgerald were interested in exploring options the parking structure-plus plan as well as the residential over-parking-plan. “I want to see those two ideas fleshed out more so we can see what benefit they would bring to the community of Fullerton and how realistic either one of those might be,” Fitzgerald said. However, Mayor Bruce Whitaker and Councilman Greg Sebourn were in favor of only building the parking structure. Mayor Pro Tem Doug Chaffee leaned toward a lighter version of option of the parking structure-plus plan. “My preference is stick with the simple idea of building a really nice parking structure and solve the [parking] problem that has brought us all together,” Sebourn said. The council decided to discuss further, and is expected to decide on one of the four plans at their Sept. 19 meeting. However, the agenda for that meeting has yet to be released.

For the Record In the Aug. 28 article “1976 CSUF Massacre: then and now” the Daily Ttian incorrectly spelled Patricia Teplansky-Almazan’s last name as Alzaman. It also incorrectly stated that Edward Charles Allaway’s sister jumped from the Humanities building when she actually shot herself in the heart. The article also incorrectly said she worked as a custodian at Cal State Fullerton when she actually worked as a secretary in the sociology department. The Daily Titan staff regrets the errors.

NEWS 3 Bars: City considers capacity increase TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2017

CONTINUED FROM

“There are reports of overcrowding of bars and forced closures, which means, to me, the internal controls for these bars have failed ... So why do we wish to exacerbate this situation by permitting more crowds in bars,” said Fullerton resident Tony Package. However, many bar owners and managers believe raising the maximum occupancy will help alleviate those problems. Dave Dennis, general manager of the Matador Cantina, believes customers can be better managed if they are inside a bar instead of waiting in the street. “(Because of the law) you have more people standing in line out in the street ... causing problems out there,” he said.

While citizens believe an increase in the maximum occupancy of bars in Downtown Fullerton will worsen issues concerning public drunkeness and fighting, bar owners feel it will keep intoxicated crowds under control as opposed to letting them wait in the street.

IT removes VCR players from classrooms AMY WELLS Daily Titan Communications professor Andi Stein was preparing for the start of the new semester when she received an email from Information Technology saying most classrooms would no longer have VCR players. It was four days before she planned to show her tourism venues and attractions class “Life was a Lark at Willow Grove Park,” a video about an old amusement park outside of Philadelphia. “When I saw that memo I

realized I needed a backup plan because I don’t have a DVD version of the video,” Stein said. “There is no DVD version of the video because the video was made years ago.” Short on time to make any arrangements to rent a VCR, Stein decided to forgo the VHS tape and revise her lesson plan. “The first night of class is stressful enough as it is. To then have to be standing there trying to figure out how to connect equipment was more than I wanted to deal with,” Stein said. Fortunately, Stein said she had a promotional DVD for the state of New Jersey which she showed her class instead. “It was a very cheesy video called ‘Discovering New Jersey,’” Stein said. “I was

happy that I had it because I had owned it for about two weeks and thought, ‘Oh, maybe this will work,’ and it did.” IT made the decision to remove the VCR/DVD players because they could not adequately support the outdated

challenge. In some classrooms, VCR players were breaking down or the tapes were getting stuck. While each classroom computer has the ability to play DVDs, faculty have two options for using VHS tapes: renting

“

VCR players or digitizing their older materials. They can rent a VCR for one day from the Academic Technology Center, which currently

has 10 VHS players available for checkout. Each player has been tested by the center to ensure they are in working condition. The players that were pulled from the classrooms are in storage and will be used to replace any players that break down. “When they break down, we have to support to replace them. For the replacement parts, if you can find the older ones, they are very expensive,” Peng said. Peng said he had not heard of any faculty checking out a VCR player yet. Faculty who have their own recordings on VHS can bring them to ATC to have their tapes digitized. According to the email sent by IT, the process takes about two to three weeks. However, faculty who need their

tapes sooner can have their request expedited. “Whenever we have a queue that we need to fill, we process the one that really needs it for the next week. We can process them during non-rush,” Peng said. Stein believes that those still using VHS tapes are professors with old materials that cannot be found on other formats. Although the VCR/DVD players have been removed, IT has installed Apple TV’s in the majority of classrooms. With this technology, faculty can connect their laptops or iPads to present their materials. “We always try to find the most efficient ways to support the classrooms,” Peng said. “We’re trying to also help faculty to bring their teaching into the 21st century.”

4 LIFESTYLE Hamilton: Alumnus talks about new role

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2017

CONTINUED FROM

In October 2016 he was offered the role in “Hamilton,” but not before many rejections in Los Angeles and a jabbing initial rejection from his first call back for the Chicago run of “Hamilton” for which he flew out to New York. “There were some (auditions) I felt great about. I was like ‘That was the best I could have done. I left everything in that room,’ and then I wouldn’t hear from them. I just wouldn’t hear anything. So I kind of learned to take everything with a grain of

salt and to go into an audition, do my best but then move on to the next one,” Carbajal said. A Los Angeles native, Carbajal began his career an actor when he was five, excited to hang out with his mom as they attended acting classes and commercial auditions together. Carbajal’s parents, Sonia and Tino, sat proudly in the front row of the audience as their son spoke about their continued support. His father is an immigrant from Mexico who owns a successful business called Superior Coatings, distributing

wood-finishing products, and his mother is a full-time caretaker to his siblings. Although Carbajal initially felt like he was following a path his parents didn’t understand, they started to show complete and unwavering support once they noticed his passion. CSUF President Mildred Garcia attended the event, introducing Carbajal to the audience before it began. Garcia declared herself a huge fan of the Broadway hit, which may have been the inspiration for the recent “Hamilton” parody performed during her

Convocation Address. “We are in a time in history when art like ‘Hamilton,’ art that Ruben is bringing to life, is not only appreciated. It is necessary for the evolvement of who we are as a nation. ‘Hamilton’ is all of us and it’s underlying message of hope in the face of adversity and the power of diverse people from all walks of life collaboratively creating a new world is the very definition of what Cal State Fullerton is,” Garcia said. So far, Carbajal feels he has learned the importance of staying healthy through his intense schedule. He

finds his motivation and energy with the third number, “My Shot” as well as strength in John Laurens’s fight against slavery and Philip Hamilton’s love for his father. Carbajal stood on stage for the first time on March 14 at the West Coast premiere of “Hamilton” in San Francisco in the SHN Orpheum Theatre with one of the first lines of the show. “I messed up the words so bad on opening night because I was just so nervous. I saw the lights and all the people and I was like ‘What?’ I know the hardcore

fans noticed but I still made everything rhyme,” Carbajal said. “That show was unlike anything I’ve ever done. It was in front of 2,200 people that were just energized and so excited for the show to be there.” Carbajal was pleasantly surprised to get to meet many “Hamilton” fans at the meet and greet, many of whom had already seen him perform on tour in the Broadway production. Coming back to CSUF reminded him that the next generation needs people to inspire them like Miranda inspired him.

CLUBS

Potterheads, politics and Hollywood NICHOLE TORRES Daily Titan Entering a school with over 40,000 students seems like a great way to meet new people and make friends, but doing so can be daunting. Thanks to Discoverfest at Cal State Fullerton, however, freshman and seniors alike were able to unearth the various clubs and organizations on campus and become more socially connected with the community. Discoverfest is a two-day event on campus that showcases each semester the unique organizations and clubs the school has to offer. During the event, students were able to learn about some of CSUF’s 300 clubs and organizations and how joining them can help both professionally and socially. From cultural to special interest clubs, students had the opportunity to learn more about each organization. One of the most unique clubs at Discoverfest was the Harry Potter Alliance. According to the nonprofit’s TitanLink page, HPA’s mission is to “empower our members to act like the heroes that they love by acting for a better world.” To fulfill their mission statement,

HPA uses elements from Harry Potter books to help educate “young people across the world toward issues of literacy, equality, and human rights.” After attending the first meeting, club members get sorted into their respective Hogwarts House and participate in Harry Potter activities like making their own wands and playing quidditch. The club has Harry Potter-themed challenges like scavenger hunts during meetings and by earning

Corey Harper serenades crowd Emerging artist brings John Mayer-inspired tunes to CSUF. RAYMOND PELAYO Daily Titan As Portland, Oregon singer-songwriter Corey Harper crooned over acoustic melodies, Becker Amphitheater became a refuge from the sun and the bustle of Discoverfest Wednesday. Curious about the concert, passing students stopped to join the crowd. Stepping outside the frame of Discoverfest, they walked into a more tranquil world manifested by Harper’s mellow performance. Despite sweat barreling down their faces, the audience looked serene listening to his performance. A large crowd gathered at the start of the show but continued to grow throughout the concert. Although they could not fully escape the simmering heat, many found shade under a tree near the stage. Although he’s usually backed by a band, Harper performed with only an acoustic guitar and an accompanying guitarist, bringing a more skeletal and laid-back energy to his ruminative songs about personal freedom and relationships. Comprised of

original material, the choice to go acoustic made the set feel like an intimate confession. According to his website, Harper aims to cross the vintage sound of blues and country with that of contemporary singer-songwriters. Growing up, his parents would play a mixture of classic rock, and his own interest in musicians like Ben Howard lead to a natural development and musical direction for him as an artist, Harper said. “I think (music) kind of just found its way into my soul and in my heart,” Harper said. “The way it comes out is the way I hear it.” Harper’s music often channels the soulful twang of John Mayer, which encouraged ASI Wednesday Concert Coordinator Brennan Lyell to book the singer for the first show in this semester’s concert series. “One of my goals this year is to bring all types of genres,” Lyell said. He hopes the Becker Amphitheater concerts will become not just a source for weekly entertainment but a place for students to discover new artists as well. The Northwestern musician opened for Justin Bieber during the Pacific Northwest run of the “Purpose Tour” last year. Soon after, Harper released his 2016 EP “On the Run,” for which he brought his

influences together into a signature style of bluesy Americana. Following the release of his first project, he toured throughout the United States. Along with Cal State Fullerton students in attendance, there were Corey Harper fans who visited the campus just to see him perform. Third-year Orange Coast College student, Taylor Ann Zoepfel, who was looking forward to the concert, loved Harper’s unexpected acoustic set and the calming nature of his music. “I’m a big fan of very easy-listening music and I think he really delivers that well,” Zoepfel said. Some fans came from as far as San Diego, like Hannah Harrington, who said she

made a two hour drive and missed class to catch Harper’s set. Like Zoepfel, she enjoyed the musical direction of the performance. “His acoustic sets really create that personal, intimate feel,” Harrington said, adding that being outside, in a small venue heightened the closeness she felt during the concert. While he does not tour universities as often anymore, Harper said he still enjoys performing for college students, noting that he was happy and encouraged by the turnout for the show. “It was really cool to see people come out and show support for my music, especially in a place I’ve never been before,” Harper said.

OPINION 5

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2017

Devil’s Advocate

Should Milo Yiannopoulos be allowed to speak at CSUF? Dangerous rhetoric is not what free speech stands for.

CODY GION Daily Titan Professional provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos should not be allowed at his upcoming and highly controversial event at the Titan Student Union Pavilions as his speech could pose a risk to public safety. Looking to the riots that Yiannopoulos spurred in Berkeley with nothing more than his flaming rhetoric, it’s clear that his presence at CSUF will be nothing but hostile. Public colleges and universities who uphold the First Amendment are taken advantage of by agitators like Yiannopoulos who carry out their own interpretations of free speech. “He seems to be mostly interested in provoking rather than engaging in a serious discussion,” said associate professor of political science Matthew Jarvis. Yiannopoulos is traveling around college campuses to speak and intentionally provoke people hoping to spark rash reactions like the ones in Berkeley. And of course, he knowingly brings ideas that are unpopular among most college students. “Colleges and universities tend to be fairly left leaning. The right-wing tests that commitment to free speech,” Jarvis said. Speakers like Yiannopoulos come to left-leaning college campuses to cause a stir. By doing so, they gain more attention, which eventually leads to increasing profits from books or website traffic.

It’s great that public colleges and universities promote freedom of speech, but if that speech is expected to threaten public safety, the speaker should not be welcome. Yiannopoulos’ defense of pedophilia led to his resignation from Breitbart, a far-right American news website. He also advocated for cultural appropriation while wearing a poncho at UC San Diego during his speaking tour called “The Dangerous Faggot.” Thirty minutes before his scheduled speech at UC Davis, it was canceled because “it was determined that it was no longer feasible to continue with the event safely,” according to UC Davis News and Media Relations. If the event hosted by the CSUF College Republicans club is not relocated or prevented, costs on resources to carry out this “speech” will be needed. The Berkeley riots were estimated to cost around $100,000 in damages, according to CNN. “Somebody has to bear those costs. In a public university, it has very often been the university. As part of our marketplace of ideas, it’s a cost we take on,” Jarvis said. CSUF advocates for freedom of speech for all individuals but when someone like Yiannopoulos dares to cross the line and provoke Titans, that speech is no longer welcome. Preventing hostile provocateurs from speaking in public colleges and universities should be a priority. Stopping Yiannopoulos from speaking will protect public safety and prevent avoidable altercations heading forward. If this university allows Yiannopoulos to speak, it is well advised for those who disagree with his ideas to stay as far away from the event as possible. “In a sense, I think the way you shut down a hateful provocateur, is you ignore them to the extent you can,” Jarvis said. “Would you care if Milo was yelling in a forest?”

College is for understanding both sides of an argument.

RISHU BHARDWAJ Daily Titan As some readers may know, controversial self-proclaimed provocateur, Milo Yiannopoulos, is set to speak at the Titan Student Union Pavilions sometime this fall. While Yiannopoulos has blazed a trail of fire and fury in the past with the Berkeley protests, it seems the right-wing celebrity is a veritable hot potato with all of his future appearances being vehemently opposed. Instead of dismissing someone because their speech serves as kindling to political fire, once again, organizations and opponents need to grow up. Yes, his rhetoric is hateful and he doesn’t know how to tread a line of decency and morality, but he should not be shunned from every public event that will have him. If there’s a way to defeat the Yiannopouloses of the world, it’s letting them crash and burn on their own accord, as can be seen from the colossal mess his pedophilia comments brought him. Pushing them away is precisely what they want, it’s fuel to their fire. Instead of snuffing out opposing forces, students should see this as a learning opportunity. Domestically, Students for Quality Education has set up a petition on change. org calling on President Mildred Garcia and company to prevent Yiannopoulos a stage at CSUF. As of Sept. 4, 4,502 people signed the petition online and while change.org seems like it’s just a way to compile a list of lazy activists, this specific grievance points to a narrow-mindedness that is unfortunately common today. Moments like these are supposed to be educational if those instances are being

dismissed to appease, there is no room for growth. The importance of hearing both sides of an argument is a sentiment that this petition and those fighting for it are sorely ignorant to. It’s easy to be mad, to kick a trash can in the street, to revolt. But what’s challenging is finding a way to win. The reason Yiannopoulos has gotten so much traction in his rhetoric is because he uses his opponents arguments against them. A common tactic in his argumentation is questioning his opponents on their beliefs. This devilish- socratic method lets him find weaknesses in logic and rationality because most people’s political rationale is dangerously emotional. It’s important for those trying to suppress people like Yiannopoulos to be solid in their arguments, meaning that simply calling someone a figurehead for white-supremacy and the alt-right might not be enough to prevent them from attending. While it’s totally justifiable to protect students from unnecessary bigotry and hate speech, it’s petitions and narratives like these that will embolden a new type of activist, one that sits behind a computer to start a revolution. The Daily Titan facebook page has been host to a slew of comments from outraged users. Looking at these comments it’s clear how Yiannopoulos is getting what he wants. A specific comment referencing Yinnapoulos’ reprehensible remarks toward pedophelia in a podcast from 2015 reads, “Why would anybody let that pedophile on that campus?” Thankfully, someone questioned this commenter and brought out the truth that Yiannopoulos is, in fact, not a pedophile. Yes, he made some extremely distasteful comments. However, using a lie as a point to denounce someone weakens the foundation of anyone making an argument. Now it’s true that Yiannopoulos’ presence brings a sort of chaotic, hostile energy that calls for expensive security. Instead of trying to protect students of CSUF from Yiannopoulos’ words, try to realize that this is college, a place to hear voices you wouldn’t get the opportunity to otherwise. While it might incite some brash behavior, it’s important that as students we learn to deal with these types of occasions and challenges with a mature outlook. Otherwise, we have learned nothing.

6 SPORTS Titans defeated in Fullerton Classic

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2017

Volleyball loses all three matches in home tournament. KATHRYNE PADILLA Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton volleyball dropped its record to 2-4 over the weekend as three heartbreakers tested the Titans’ ability to rebound from errors and continue their energy throughout the sets. Game 1 CSUF lost 3-2 against the Chicago State Cougars in an intense five-set match Friday. The Titans made multiple errors in the first two sets to fall behind but took the third set as they finally found their footing on the court. It was not until the fourth set when Fullerton regained its energy and allowed its outside hitters Shimen Fayad, Meagan Carlson and Madeline Schneider, to dominate and win a second set to tie the match 2-2. The Titans lost their momentum in the fifth set, allowing the Cougars to hold on and win. “We’re kind of in a gray area where we have to decide to push through and win those games,” Fayad said. Game 2 The Titans dropped their second game in a row when the San Jose State Spartans swept them in the first game of a Saturday double-header. Fullerton started the first set trailing but managed to get a break when a kill from Summer Kerins gave the Titans momentum and helped lead to increased errors for the Spartans. The Titans were tied with San Jose at 9-9, but the Spartans pulled away to beat CSUF 25-18 in the first set. “It’s very important to win the first set and get off to a fast

start to be able to execute our offense,” Titans Head Coach Ashley Preston said. “In the game of volleyball, the more sets you win early, the more energy and excitement that you have if you lose and you’re already behind, it’s an uphill battle you have to fight.” The Titans fought but continued to slide downhill as they dropped the second set 25-17. With a 2-0 advantage, the Spartans battled to sweep the series with a 25-14 win in the third set.

“We’re just learning that we can’t keep saying things and nodding our heads and going along with the motions. We have to take it onto the court and execute,” said outside hitter Cady Francis. “It was a disappointment, but I think at the end of the day we can only go up from here.” Game 3 Fullerton faced the Southern Utah University Thunderbirds in another hard-fought, five-set match, but the Titans

failed to complete their comeback as the Thunderbirds beat them 3-2. The first kill in the set from Titan Jayla Norman looked like it would set the tone for Fullerton. However, the Thunderbirds began to increase their hitting opportunities soon after and took the first set 25-21. Fullerton came closer in the second set. The Titans trailed 24-23 in the final moments, but failed to steal the win after an attacking error

from Meagan Carlson gave the Thunderbirds their second win of the match. The Titans evened the score 23-23 in the third set, and a kill from Schneider kept the score tied 24-24 after the Thunderbirds took the next point. After an error from Southern Utah Kerins took the opportunity to complete the final kill of the set, giving the Titans their first win, 26-24. The Titans then trailed by one set and took the lead in

the fourth frame when Schneider broke the tie and gave the Titans an 18-17 lead. Not long after, two consecutive kills from Norman ended the set in the Titans’ favor 25-21. With the match tied at 2-2, attacking errors from the Titans allowed the Thunderbirds to rack up kills and take the lead to win the final set 15-11. The Titans will travel to Towson, Maryland Thursday to compete in a fourmatch tournament.

“I think we gained confidence, and in the second half we came out and we dominated,” Primus said. Utah quickly followed to tie up the match in the 68th minute when Paola Van Der Veen scored her first goal of the match. The Titans would go on to earn three yellow cards in a span of 10 minutes as a result of aggressive play and disagreement on calls. A foul called on Maribell

Morales resulted in a yellow card being awarded to Titans Head Coach Demian Brown after he challenged the referee’s call. With the game tied 1-1, the Titans went to overtime. Neither team could score in the first frame, sending CSUF into its third double-overtime match of the season. Their undefeated streak in those scenarios ended in the 102nd minute, when Utah’s Eden Jacobsen assisted Van Der Veen, giving them a 2-1 lead.

Despite it being their first loss of the season, the Titans were confident in their performance and are optimistic about the rest of the season. “I think we played amazing considering the circumstances with it pouring rain and it being super wet and having to adjust,” Oronoz said. “I think overall we work really well together and this year is our year.” The Titans take on Iowa State on Friday, Sept. 8 at Titan Stadium.

8 SPORTS Portland Pilots shut out men’s soccer 5-0

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2017

Titans fall short against Pilots in Labor Day loss. KAILA CRUZ Daily Titan

Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer traveled to Oregon for a Labor Day match at the Nike Portland Invitational only to fall to Portland University in a 5-0 shutout after failing to keep up to speed. Titans team captain Nicolo D’Amato started the match strong by taking the first shot of the game within the first five minutes. CSUF continued to lead in shots, but Portland midfielder Gio Magana-Rivera scored in the 20th minute of the game. By the end of the first half, Fullerton led not only in shots and corners, but also in penalties after a yellow card was awarded to Bass Sarr. The Titans remained tied with Portland in shots on goal (2-2), but the score remained at 1-0. At the half, tension grew between the teams when the Titans returned to the field late after taking too much time in the locker room. The Pilots used the friction as fuel for their play as Portland midfielder Rey Ortiz scored the second goal of the game in the 51st minute. CSUF attempts to maintain possession were constantly met by Portland opposition. The Pilots increased their lead to 3-0 in the 60th minute of the match when Portland forward Benji Michel scored after a one-on-one challenge with CSUF goalkeeper
