The CSU Students for Quality Education (SQE) protested Wednesday to crit-icize Cal State Fullerton’s de-cision to not reopen the four floors of the south side of Pollak Library until 2017.

The organization gath-ered in front of the library in hopes of pressuring school officials to take action toward reinstating a fully accessible library for students.

“The worst part about that is that you can’t go up to the books physically, and look at them, and see what oth-er books correlate with that subject,” said Sean Wash-burn, a member of the SQE and graduate student at CSUF. “As concerned stu-dents, we just want that ac-cess back to the library and we want that for all students, not just us.”

Pollak Library sustained about $6 million in dam-ages due to the earthquake in late March. That damage forced the campus to make unexpected changes to how the library operates.

“We have a book paging system, and that just takes a few hours, depending on amount of traffic to get those books,” said Interim University Librarian Scott Hewitt. “We are also plan-ning on moving the books from the south side to the basement of PLN and to the second, third and fourth floor of PLN. We can’t move all of the books, but we can move most of the books. We’ll try to move the ones that are used most often.”

About 24 percent of the books in the Pollak Library have never been checked out, Hewitt said. The li-brary has begun thinning out the collection, and get-ting rid of unused texts as part of a forthcoming ren-ovation to provide more space to students.

SQE fears moving books to the basement will change the way the library func-tions for students, said Ca-rie Rael, a member of SQE and history graduate stu-dent at CSUF.

“The earthquake shouldn’t be used as a catalyst to put in this new way of conduct-ing business,” Rael said. “We think a library is a sacred institution on a university’s campus, and we have it as one of our highest priorities.”

SQE is also scrutinizing Associated Students, Inc. for the planned $20 million ren-ovation to the Titan Student Union.

“It’s kind of infuriating that $20 million of money that is paid by students with our ASI fee is being used to expand a building which is in perfectly good condition,” Rael said. “It’s pretty much a slap in the face that ASI is not at least considering or putting some actions in place to allocate some of that $20 million from the TSU to the library where it’s actually much needed.”

However, ASI President Harpreet Bath said this is be-yond what ASI is capable of doing. ASI does not receive any funding from the state or university, and CSUF is pro-hibited from accepting any funds from ASI, Bath said.

“Since ASI acts as an aux-iliary on campus, we cannot use the fees that we collect from students that come into ASI. That is our budget for any improvements of campus buildings, classroom experi-ences, anything that needs to be and should be funded by the state,” Bath said. “That includes the library.”

The library will be mov-ing more seating to the open areas of the library before finals. Part of the Student Success Fee will be going toward expanding library hours, allowing the library to stay open until midnight on Mondays through Thurs-days, and until 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The library will be open 24 hours during finals.

Cal State Fullerton part-nered with neighboring cit-ies and city officials to host a symposium focused on hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as frack-ing, and the issues sur-rounding the oil extraction process.

The symposium featured a large turnout of students, faculty, concerned com-munity members and pub-lic officials looking to gain knowledge of the oil ex-traction taking place in North Orange County.

Among the panelists was Steve Bohlen, state oil and gas supervisor at the Cali-fornia Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR).

“Lets start talking about what (fracking) isn’t,” Bohlen said. “It is not a

drilling process, and it’s not continuous injection of waters and chemicals, it is a mechanical process that is designed to increase per-meability in rocks.”

The fracking process creates cracks in the rock thousands of feet below the surface where mate-rials and fluids are car-ried through to hold the

fractures open and increase the permeability of the for-mation and allow resources to flow out.

Michael Chacon has big goals set out for himself.

Chacon is one of the 23 recipients of the CSU Trustees’ Award for Out-standing Achievement for demonstrating superior ac-ademic performance, com-munity service and finan-cial need.

As a student from the Mi-haylo College of Business and Economics and recip-ient of this scholarship, he is well on his way toward achieving these goals.

Chacon wants to work for the FBI one day, a hefty objective for anyone to achieve.

“I got intrigued by the FBI and fighting crime, fraud specifically so I was looking at business schools,” Chacon said.

He decided on Cal State Fullerton and decided this would be the place for him. Chacon is pursuing a busi-ness administration de-gree with a joint emphasis in accounting and finance. The scholarship recipient hopes to use these skills

in the FBI one day, a goal he decided on after seeing so many people affected by the 2009 financial crisis.

Chacon was homes-chooled until the ninth grade, when he began at-tending the Los Angeles

County High School for the Arts. He was very much in-volved in the theatre pro-gram, but decided to focus

on business after the reces-sion hit.

He wants to fight white-collar crime and end

corruption in the corporate world.

“They often call it a vic-timless crime when it’s not really because there are tons of victims and it often has an even more profound impact on more people,” Chacon said.

To gain experience, Chacon also enrolled in the California Air Nation-al Guard, which required taking time off of school for six months of basic training.

When he returned to CSUF, he re-enrolled in the business honors program and became involved on campus. He joined the Ac-counting Society, where he now serves as secretary for the Association for Certi-fied Fraud Examiners. This group within the club or-ganizes speakers who talk about fraud and white-col-lar crime.

“When I was a freshman, I joined that group and it was really cool because we had people from the FBI come in and the IRS and so now that I’m part of that group, I’m able to get oth-er students fired up about this,” Chacon said.

World urged to destroy IS

Anaheim to list sex solicitors

Santa Ana woman dies in market

President Barack Obama spoke to the United Nations General Assembly in New York Wednesday, urging the world to help end the Islamic State’s (IS) “network of death,” ac-cording to the BBC.

U.N. discussion needs to be translat-ed into actions and deeds, Obama said, arguing that nations must unite to take on IS terrorists.

The U.N. Securi-ty Council adopt-ed a binding resolu-tion compelling states to prevent citizens from joining terrorist organizations.

An anti-IS coalition has been formed and more than 40 coun-tries have offered to join.

U.S. airstrikes in Syria continue to as-sault IS targets.

Anaheim City Council voted Tuesday to post the name of anyone convicted of soliciting a prostitute to an on-line list.

The list will not in-clude convicted pros-titutes or pimps, how-ever, according to Anaheim officials.

The Orange County District Attorney’s Of-fice enacted a similar policy last year. The office posts names of convicted solicitors to its website and distrib-utes the list to media outlets.

Opponents of the decision claim that naming the convict-ed solicitors could harm the perpetrator’s families.

Last year, there were 72 prostitution arrests in Anaheim. Another 35 arrests were made this year as of Sunday.

An unidentified wom-an died Wednesday at a Santa Ana meat mar-ket after stripping her clothes off, accord-ing to the Los Angeles Times.

The woman may have been intoxicated or suf-fering from mental ill-ness, police said.

She died after being detained by security of-ficers for stripping and acting erratically.

The woman was handcuffed in a back room of the store when she started showing signs of physical dis-tress. Paramedics were called but the woman died at the scene.

The cause of her death is currently un-known. Homicide de-tectives are investi-gating the death. An autopsy may provide further details.

The multi-million dollar grant comes from the Departent of eduaction to encourage achievement among Hispanic graduate students.

COURTESY OF WIKI IMAGE

The Office of Graduate Studies at Cal State Fuller-ton is seeking to improve learning opportunities and services for post-bacca-laureate Hispanic students with funds from a $2.8 mil-lion grant from the Unit-ed States Department of Education.

The five-year Promoting Post-baccalaureate Oppor-tunities for Hispanic Amer-icans grant is meant to foster learning and achieve-ment for Hispanic graduate students on campus.

It will require university officials to implement sys-tems that will better serve students who are in some form of graduate study. Those systems will serve credential, master’s or doc-torate program students, said Katherine Powers, Ph.D., director of graduate studies for the university.

Since more than one-quarter of the student population identifies as His-panic–CSUF is classified as a Hispanic-serving insti-tution. About 35 percent of the CSUF students identify as Hispanic.

The primary goal of the grant is to help foster great-er learning opportunities for Hispanic students, but many of the services pro-vided will be accessible to all students, Powers said.

The grant will allow for the creation of a graduate student success center and an online peer-mentoring community. The grant plan also seeks to implement a smoother advising system for graduate students on campus.

Traditionally, undergrad-uate students have had bet-ter advising experiences as compared with post-bacca-laureate students due to the different needs of the two education levels, Powers said.

“Some grad advising is great, but there isn’t a ... strong infrastructure for graduate advising on cam-pus,” Powers said. “It’s not fueled well in every corner, so this grant will help sup-port that.”

Powers said that while advising is mandatory for certain groups of under-graduate students, that’s not necessarily the case for master’s students. It may be difficult for students pursu-ing their post-baccalaureate degree to even find some-one to talk to, she said.

Through the grant, the graduate studies program is aiming to provide advising for new graduate students on academic success, finan-cial aid and graduate stu-dent life.

The grant will also pro-vide $100,000 in scholar-ships for about 50 students. But those students must ei-ther identify as Hispanic, or have a demonstrated finan-cial need.

Prospective students will also benefit from the new advising.

This is the second grant the CSUF graduate stud-ies program has received in the last five years. The first of the two grants, awarded in 2011, was an-other a five-year award also geared toward helping individuals who identify as Hispanic or disadvan-taged, Powers said.

In the past, students from families considered to be part of the middle class fell through the financial aid cracks, thought of by the state as able to pay for tu-ition and books without breaking the bank. As tui-tion and fees increase, even middle-class students and their families cringe at ris-ing costs.

Now, there will be some relief to offset costs for those students.

The Middle Class Schol-arship (MCS), introduced this year, will provide un-dergraduates with fami-ly incomes up to $150,000

a scholarship to attend a school in the University of California or California State University system.

If students filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), they will be notified by email and the awards should be distributed by mid to end of October, according to the Cal State Fullerton Office of Financial Aid.

Students of families that earn up to $100,000 per year and not more, may be eligi-ble for a scholarship of up to 40 percent of tuition and fees.

It will be phased in over four years, starting this year with 14 percent of tuition. In 2015, it rises to 20 percent, to 30 percent in 2016 and will be fully phased in at 40 percent of tuition in 2017.

Students whose families earn between $100,001 and $150,000 per year are only eligible for 10 percent of tuition and fees.

The award amount for each student receiv-ing MCS funds is deter-mined after other grants, like the Pell or Cal Grants, are factored into their fi-nancial profile. The num-ber of students eligible for the MCS and the statewide budget determine the fi-nal amount available for disbursement.

The MCS will be divid-ed and rationed out by the number of students eligi-ble and money in the MCS pot allocated by the state budget. The award money isn’t a set amount and will be varied by student and institution.

Funds will aid students from families who make up to $150,000, yet still need help

The process has be-come controversial in re-cent years due to suspected links to seismic activities, polluted groundwater and other issues.

David Bowman, inter-im dean of the College of Natural Science and Math-ematics and professor of geological sciences, mod-erated the event.

“The goal of this sym-posium is to provide city leaders and the public with the critical information needed to understand the local impacts of the oil in-dustry,” Bowman said.

The event hosted a se-ries of expert panelists to discuss the concerns of the industry in an attempt to inform the audience in a nonpartisan and unbiased forum.

“I’m interested in being persuaded to not be afraid that all the fracking they’re doing up there isn’t respon-sible for the earthquakes,” said Jessica Warren at the symposium.

Robert Graves, research geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Pas-adena Field Office and

Southern California re-gional coordinator for the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program addressed the is-sue of the possible connec-tion between earthquakes and fracking. With frack-ing, most seismic activity occurs when waste water developed by the fractur-ing process is injected into the well conduit, Graves said.

The risk of fracking contaminating water also arose as an issue at the symposium.

W. Richard Laton, Ph.D., associate professor of geo-logical sciences at CSUF, displayed a graphic show-ing that some business-es, landfills and pesticides contaminate groundwater and air even more than the process of fracking.

“The groundwater in Or-ange County, the Fuller-ton and Yorba Linda frack-ing, sits directly atop of the groundwater basin, which supplies drinking water for 2.4 million people, and when we know that this in-dustry has a track record for contaminating ground-water supplies, there’s real-ly a lot at risk here,” said Alexandra Nagy, SoCal

Organizer of nonprofit or-ganization Food and Water Watch.

By the end of the sym-posium, some community members still felt unsure as to what side of the fracking

fence they were on.“They all kind of seemed

to say there’s nothing to worry about; it’s pretty safe and harmless, but I’m still a little skeptical,” said Donald Kinda, a CSUF

alumnus who graduated in the 1980s.

CSUF has not released who provided more than $9,000 of the event’s $12,000 budget. The bud-get released to the Voice

of OC nonprofit investiga-tive website lists $9,000 of the budget as coming from “philanthropic funds” or “TBD.”

Individual donors have not been identified.

Fracking: Community gathersThe fracking symposium brought panelists to CSUF to discuss issues surrounding the oil extraction method in Orange County. Attendees submitted questions for panelesits prior to the event.

I’ve frequently found myself walking around campus and looking at all the things I would have never considered looking at a year or two ago.

A lot of that time has been spent examining the art on campus, specifical-ly the many sculptures that are here.

I’ve never really cared about Cal State Fullerton’s campus.

That sentiment may sound odd coming from a student who has gone here for the last three years, but it’s one that’s culminated out of my experience of be-ing a commuter student.

Having to commute back and forth to my home in Temecula has required me to stick to a hardset bus and train schedule that’s left little time for anything outside of my classes while I’m here.

I’ve never really had time just to walk around the campus and enjoy it, and I never really saw that as an issue when I first started as a student at CSUF.

I always visualized this campus as a big slab of concrete and never con-sidered that there might

be anything worth looking at as I hurriedly made my way from class to class.

But lately, I’ve had a change of heart about CSUF as a campus to admire.

Perhaps I’ve taken more of an interest because I only have two semesters left before I graduate, or perhaps it’s because I’ve been driving to campus and have more time on my hands.

A lot of the art installa-tions on campus are things that are easily overlooked by many students. Take for example the Dale Hall-berg Sculpture Garden, which is located between two different wings of the art building. Filled with a myriad of spindly-looking metal sculptures, the gar-den seems like something from another planet.

The water wall located just a few feet beyond the garden is also a sight that is taken for granted. Paint-ed ribbons of cut and fab-ricated metal are located along an art building wall. Water drips down the azure bands into a chlorinated pool that’s just as blue.

Many students may not know about the mythology surrounding the Fallen Da-vid statue located outside of the Pollak Library.

Whoever rubs the stat-ue’s posterior before their midterms are guaranteed

good grades. However, the statue has a

history. It wasn’t always a clump

of collapsed body parts, but a replica of Michelan-gelo’s David sculpture. The duplicate toppled when an earthquake hit its original home of Whittier in 1987 and it was subsequent-ly donated to Cal State Fullerton.

Today, what students

might view as a modern art piece was really the result of an accident.

The Water Wall, Fallen David and Sculpture Gar-den are only three of doz-ens of different art pieces on campus.

Other commonly over-looked art installations in-clude the Sea Bee, a boat that looks like it’s sink-ing into the grass outside the library; The Nautilus,

a corten steel sculpture that looks like it’s flowing with movement because of its various bent panels; and the Double Scoop Ice Cream Cone, a replica of a dairy treat that has stood on campus since 1973.

Now that I’ve had more free time, I notice a lot of students rushing from place to place, disregard-ing pieces of art that are a part of this campus.

As I sit in the sculpture garden drinking coffee, part of me wishes I spent more time enjoying the sights and sounds of this campus. I never looked be-yond what I perceived to be a vast concrete wasteland. I never bothered to consid-er that there might be great things to look at. I’ve nev-er really cared about Cal State Fullerton’s campus, but now, I’m beginning to.

Some of Chacon’s oth-er experience includes his work with the Young Americans for Liberty club. Members of this organiza-tion are invited to exercise their right to free speech.

In the past, they have also worked to bring libertarian candidates to campus, in-cluding presidential candi-dates Ron Paul, Gary John-son and vice presidential

candidate judge Jim Gray.Anna Sargent, president of

the Cal State Fullerton chap-ter of Young Americans for Liberty, has been involved with the group for about a year and said that the club has opened up networking opportunities for its mem-bers, including herself and Chacon. Both have attended state and national conven-tions within the organization and its affiliates.

“We want to get people

more aware of their basic rights,” Sargent said.

After graduation, Chacon hopes to continue

gaining experience in ac-counting and through the

International Guard before applying to the FBI once

he reaches the minimum age of 23.

Chacon and his fami-ly were invited to Long Beach for the award cere-mony on Sept. 9, where he was able to meet the other recipients, many of which faced challenges such as homelessness.

“It just made the award seem that much more worth it and that much more special,” he said.

Chacon has also received

the Dean’s Advisory Board Award for the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics.

There are 23 Trustee awards available for the cam-puses in the CSU system.

The scholar award is funded by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, who were recognized as sovereign California Indi-ans in 1891 with the passage of the Act for the Relief of the Mission Indians..

In just a few short months, Californians are going to be faced with an important question at the polls: which propositions are worth a “yes” vote and which are worth a “no” vote.

While each proposition is important to research and understand, there are two that pose the greatest im-portance to Californians collectively; Propositions 1 and 2.

Proposition 1 is a bond measure which would make improvements to water in-frastructure through the im-plementation of water re-cycling, water storage and stormwater capture. One of its biggest costs would be the implementation of water storage systems for a whop-ping $2.7 billion.

Proposition 2 would in-crease the amount of sav-ings in California’s “rainy-day fund.” California would have to put away 1.5 percent of its general fund revenues until its budget stabilization fund reaches 10 percent of its general fund revenue, and it would do this for the purpose of paying down its debt.

The reason that these propositions are the most important on the ballot is because the issues affect all

of the states residents, not just some.

California farmers are now using one-third of the the water they normally use, according to a recent UC Davis report. Fields that have historically produced fruit now lay barren. The economic impact of those empty fields is noticeable, with estimates of the agri-cultural industry taking a $2.2 billion hit as a result.

California is currently $340 billion in debt, which is more than $8,500 of debt for each of its 38 million residents.

With California suffering through its worst drought since 1959, and an exor-bitant amount of debt, it’s critical that voters open up a dialogue about these propositions and the impact they will bear on the future of this state.

That dialogue is already taking place as advocates and opponents of the propo-sitions spar with each other on their potential effects.

Advocates for Proposi-tion 1 include Central Val-ley farmers, who have con-tested the importance of having a storage method for water, as periodic drought may become more com-mon due to climate change. They’ve been some of the individuals hardest hit, as their ability to grow pro-duce has been directly

impacted by the tremen-dous lack of water.

Opponents of the propo-sition, including marine sci-ence and biological protec-tion groups, have looked at it from a cost-benefit analy-sis, saying water infrastruc-ture projects would have no immediate benefit to Cal-ifornia’s drought situation and that the price tag would be too high. They’ve also commented on the proposi-tion’s ambiguous language, saying it doesn’t get into specifics about the kind of projects it would finance.

Proponents of the prop-osition have said fiscal re-sponsibility on the part of California is the obvious choice. Careful budgeting is something that nearly any-one can get behind, regard-less of political affiliation.

Critics, however, would be quick to point out that language which indicates a proposition’s requirements could be canceled in times of emergency is too vague, making it all too easy to get rid of a logical and sound budgetary plan.

Cal State Fullerton Polit-ical Science Professor Matt Jarvis said he can see why people might vote for the proposition, but the ques-tion remains of what consti-tutes an emergency.

Jarvis drew parallels to when the Bush administra-tion procured funding for

the Iraq war under their placed budget constraints simply by stating the war was an emergency.

“The devil’s in the de-tails,” Jarvis said. “I’m not sure if it would do as much as people think it would. However, I will note that it seems to have the majority of the votes—Democrats and Republicans—in the legislature supporting it.”

Jarvis said he thought the other propositions on the ballot were not quite as impactful as Proposi-tion 1 or Proposition 2. He said many were unlikely to pass and others bared no real impact to the state as a whole. A referendum ap-proving the construction of a casino in Madera Coun-ty was not likely to impact the state collectively in any measurable way.

The arguments being made about the proposi-tions are impactful because they give insight into the inner workings of the prop-ositions, good or bad.

It’s important that reg-istered voters familiarize themselves with all the is-sues, but it’s especially im-portant that they research and know how they might vote.

That’s especially true when the proposition they might be voting for could affect their future as a res-ident in this state.

Two important propositions to watchCalifornia propositions derseve serious attention

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

Today is all about other people -- so keep your eyes open for good deeds you can do. Karma is yours for the taking if you want it. You should find it handy in a few weeks when fortune calls.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

A friend gets even closer today -- though it may have nothing to do with romance. You should expect deepening connections as a result of your great energy. This could lead to something big!

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

Do you have a backlog of communication? Now is the time to catch up. You’re usually the master of instant messaging, but sometimes even you forget to get back to certain people.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

You’re in the middle of a big social muddle -- but it’s easy to turn it into something positive. Make sure that you’re dealing with people who aren’t as important to you as they should be.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Spending may be a problem for you -- but you can also find a way to get past it. Things are sure to get better once you deal with one little bud-get issue that has been tripping you up.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

You ring the bell and take care of something new and exciting today -- and everyone knows it was you. Life keeps getting better, and you’re in the perfect position to move ahead quickly.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

You’re a bit overwhelmed by all of today’s noise and activity. Try not to get too freaked out -- things are sure to settle down tomorrow as long as you keep your cool today.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 - NOV. 21):

It’s a good day to share a secret with your best friend -- or someone else who can fill in. It doesn’t even have to have anything to do with you, as long as it’s meaningful to the both of you.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

It’s really hard for you to handle authority today -- either yours or someone else’s. Make sure that you’re as respectful as you can be, but even that may not work for you. Take a deep breath!

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

It’s the perfect time to indulge your need for careful planning. Your great energy is right for taking all the details and making them fit to-gether. You should amaze someone who’s watch-ing.

AQUARIUS(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

You feel somewhat more grounded than usu-al. It’s easier for you to take care of socializing and difficult conversations. Things are easier to move forward, as long as you know what you really want.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

You need a new project, and one should come your way early today. It may not seem like all that much until you start to get your hands dirty, and then it should get really exciting.

Cal State Fullerton wom-en’s soccer hopes that its recent offensive breakout will continue this weekend when they play the Pepper-dine Waves and the Univer-sity of San Diego Toreros.

The Titans have had a scoring surge lately, scor-ing seven goals in their last three games.

They are coming off a 4-1 win over Idaho State where they had eight shots on goal and 10 corner kicks.

It was only the second time the Titans have scored multiple goals in a game in 2014 and only the second time a game was decided by more than one goal.

CSUF is undefeated this season in games where they have scored more than one goal.

If the Titans can main-tain their recent offensive success, they are bound to continue winning.

The defense has been ex-cellent all year for Head Coach Demian Brown’s squad.

They have only allowed 10 goals, which is second best in the Big West Con-ference this year.

Sophomore Jennifer Stu-art has been a brick wall in

goal for the Titans. She has only allowed

three goals in her five starts this season, and has two shutouts.

Stuart has allowed just 0.55 goals per game and has a .800 save percentage, both of which are the best in the conference.

The Titan defense will have to contain the best of-fensive player in the West Coast Conference—Lynn Williams of Pepperdine.

Williams has six goals and 20 shots on goal this season and gets off 5.3 shots per game.

She also sets the table for her teammates and has three assists on the year.

The Pepperdine defense is staunch as well.

They have six shutouts and have only allowed three goals in the month of September.

They allow 0.59 goals per game, which is by far the best in the WCC.

Sophomore goalkeeper Hannah Seabert has started all 29 games of her colle-giate career.

The Riverside native has an .846 save percent-age and has 33 saves on the season.

No. 11 Pepperdine is 8-1-1 on the season and their only loss came at the hands of No. 1 UCLA on Sept. 7.

The Waves are on a four-game winning streak and are coming off a 2-1 win against USC on the road.

After hosting Pepperdine Thursday, the Titans will travel to San Diego to play USD.

The Toreros are 3-4-2 overall, but are much more impressive at home where they are 3-1-1.

They won their last two games against San Diego State and Oklahoma, who

are ranked No. 20 and 19, respectively.

But USD has struggled against Big West opponents on the road this season, playing to a scoreless tie against No. 20 Long Beach State and losing back-to-back games to Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine.

Sophomore defender Victoria Walker leads the Toreros in goals with three. USD has only scored 12 goals in nine games, but are a well-rounded offense with eight different players scoring this season.

The Toreros know how to share the ball.

They are second in the WCC in assists per game with 1.56, trailing only Saint Mary’s.

The Titans won their last game against USD in 2011, a 2-0 shutout at Titan Stadium.

Rebecca Wilson scored a goal in that game and she currently is the CSUF lead-er in goals with three.

The Titans should be well rested for the week-end’s tough games, consid-ering they have only played one game in the past two weeks.

They begin Big West play on Oct. 2.

The Cal State Fuller-ton men’s soccer team will look to stay hot and build on their current three-game winning streak when they visit Grand Canyon Univer-sity on Sunday.

Fullerton started off the season on a rocky note with an 0-3-2 mark, but their re-cent success has given Ti-tan fans a reason to believe this year’s squad is devel-oping into a Big West Con-ference contender.

Grand Canyon University enters the game with a 2-3-1 mark after tying UC Da-vis 1-1 this past week.

The Antelopes play Loyola Marymount on Fri-day before the Titans head to Phoenix on Sunday.

Three different Grand Canyon players have netted two goals this year, but out-side of those three reliable sources of offense, the An-telopes have just one goal.

Both squads are bat-tle-tested in extra time, as they’ve been involved in four overtime matches al-ready this year.

The Antelopes will rely on goalkeeper Kendyl Day to keep them in the game against the scorching Ti-tans offense.

The sophomore goal-ie has started every game for Grand Canyon, allow-ing just over one goal per match.

The Titans have not had the same continuity be-tween the pipes all year, as they have switched from ju-nior Jeff Salt to sophomore David Rodriguez Elias in recent games.

The insertion of Elias has directly correlated with the team’s success, as the Titans have won all three games in which he started.

Senior Garrett Losee has been the hottest Titan as of late, scoring one goal in each of the last three games to bring some life into what had been a very inconsis-tent offense early on.

Senior Marc Fenelus,

junior Julian Okai and se-nior Amara Soumah each have two goals on the year for the Titans, giving them a more well-round-ed offense than their opponents.

Senior Ian Ramos and freshman Diego Sanchez have also added scores this year for Fullerton.

After scoring just five goals in their first five games, the Titans have poured in eight goals in their past three games.

The three-game winning streak began with a stun-ning upset of the No. 14 ranked University of Mary-land-Baltimore County Re-trievers in the UNLV Nike Invitational.

The come-from-behind win has seemingly ener-gized George Kuntz’s club right before they begin Big West play.

After a 3-6-1 record in conference play last sea-son, the Titans clearly have room for improvement in 2014.

CSUF finished last in the Big West South divi-sion, failing to qualify for

the conference tournament which results in a NCAA Tournament bid for the winning team.

As it stands, the Titans are currently third out of four teams in the Big West South division before con-ference games begin.

The Titans will need to play more consistent-ly away from Titan Stadi-um than last year, where they finished just 2-7 on the road.

UC Irvine and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo appear to be the class of the Big West in the early going, with the Anteaters sitting undefeat-ed at 6-0-1, and the Mus-tangs holding a 5-2-1 mark to this point.

Both teams will be trav-eling to Titan Stadium this year, giving CSUF an ex-cellent opportunity to make a strong statement in front of their home crowd.

With solid goalkeeping from Elias and a consistent offensive effort from the Ti-tans, there is hope for the 2014 team to take massive strides from where they left off last season.

The Titan men are undefeated since putting David Rodriguez Elias in goal on Sept. 14
