INSIDE

The Cal State Fullerton men’s lacrosse team domi-nated the Northern Arizo-na Lumberjacks, 13-5, at the CSUF Intramural Fields on Sunday.

The win clinches first place in the Southwestern Lacrosse Conference north division for the Titans.

The top seed will give the Titans (10-1, 3-0 SLC) a bye in the first round of the Men’s Club Lacrosse Association National Championship held in May.

“It feels good to get a bye,” said junior goalie Chris Laurino.

The players weren’t the only ones to recognize the

importance of a bye in the upcoming playoffs.

“We do have the number one seed so it’s going to be a good competition,” Head Coach Mike Ansel said. “I’m happy to have it; I can’t complain.”

The Lumberjacks (7-3, 4-1 SLC) came into the game first place in the conference.

The game was sched-uled to take place Friday at Fallbrook High School, but NAU’s bus broke down during its trip, which forced the game to be rescheduled to Sunday.

The Titans wasted lit-tle time getting the scoring started.

The Titans jumped on the Lumberjacks early when se-nior midfielder Matt Mar-tinez scored an unassisted goal just 33 seconds into the game. Just 50 seconds later, senior attackman Gabe Ala-millo scored to give the Ti-tans a quick 2-0 lead.

NAU got its first posses-sion of the game following the Alamillo goal. They were not on offense long when se-nior defenseman Paul Mor-gan forced a turnover that led to a fast break goal by se-nior midfielder Jeff Lyon.

The Titans held a 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Six different Titans scored goals in the first quarter.

“It’s great because you don’t just have to go to one guy over and over,” Ansel said.”

The excellent team balance

will continue to be an advan-tage going forward.

“It helps tremendously when it comes to the oppos-ing team trying to focus on other people, who to focus on and who to play defense on when you have multiple people scoring and they don’t know who to guard,” Alamil-lo said. “It’s a huge help for our team being able to fire the ball around and letting other people score.”

Cal State Fullerton sus-tained $6.5 million in damage from the mag-nitude 5.1 earthquake that rattled the campus on March 28, accord-ing to data from the Or-ange County Board of Supervisors.

This total far exceeds the initial estimate of the damage, which the uni-versity put at $500,000. The board has requested federal aid to help repair damage to structures and facilities.

The entirety of Pollak Library South is closed while repairs to the ceiling and ventilation systems are being performed.

“Our initial assessment of the bulk of the campus damage that we invento-ried involved furniture that had been broken or fallen, some glass cracked and largely some aesthet-ic (damage),” Christopher Bugbee, director of media relations, told radio sta-tion KPCC.

Damage to CSUF made up the bulk of the proper-ty damage caused by the earthquake, which also broke water mains and caused landslides in the surrounding area.

The earthquake dam-aged drop ceilings in the library, and replacing those would cost about $6 million, Bugbee said.

If the requested federal aid does not come to fru-ition, alternatives for the library include leaving the ducts exposed or patching the ceiling.

A platoon maneuvers their way to the top of a hill through the prick-ly bushes of the San Diego des-ert. Suddenly, an explosion. Enemy forces come out shooting, and the platoon immediately suffers two casualties.

Chaos breaks out. Fortunately, this isn’t real combat.

It’s a field training exercise that puts cadets with the Cal State Fullerton ROTC battalion through patrols, terrain navigation challenges and live-fire exercises to test the abilities cadets have learned throughout the semester and to teach new skills.

The battalion spent their weekend at Camp Pendleton, the largest Ma-rine Corps base in the country, for the yearly challenge.

Explosives and blank rounds are used to give cadets the most immer-sive experience possible.

Amid all of the chaos, communi-cation is usually the first to break down.

When a platoon leader receives or-ders, he or she must communicate them down the chain of command through squad leaders and team leaders to the individual soldier who carries out the order.

Sending down orders though the chain of command is important to make sure every cadet is on the same page, but sometimes orders from the platoon leader may not make it all the way down to every single cadet.

This may be the first time cadets have led such a large force, and the extra links added to the chain of command create a new challenge.

“We use a crawl-walk-run men-tality,” said Lt. Col. Kelley Donham, a professor of military science and ROTC coordinator. “In the fall se-mester, we’re at the crawl stage, al-most, getting to where we can actu-ally assemble into larger formations, but by this time, they can assemble into large formations, command large formations and … use more of that critical thinking that we are trying to drive home.”

The biggest benefit of the field

exercise is for the cadets to final-ly extend their knowledge that they learn every Friday and apply it to a more real-world setting, said Cadet Private Joshua Cole, a freshman.

“Normally we have class and then we conduct a minor lab at Cal State Fullerton’s campus, but we’re so

limited as to what we can do,” Cole said. “We can’t operate with actual rifles, we can’t shoot actual blanks, so getting to come out here and use this area is far better.”

Arrests made in deaths of 4 sex workers

UN summit addresses Ukraine riots

Student bus crash under investigation

Two men believed to be involved with the killings of four sex workers were arrest-ed Friday, according to the Orange County Register.

“We believe we have two serial killers in custody and we have stopped them in their tracks,” Anaheim po-lice Lt. Bob Dunn said.

Franc Cano, 27, and Steven Dean Gordon, 45, the two arrested, are both convicted sex offenders.

Police said the vic-tims were all tied to prostitution or es-cort services. Eight sex workers have been killed in Orange County since Febru-ary 2013, including Modesto resident Jar-rae Nykkole Estepp, whose body was found at an Anaheim recy-cling facility.

The ongoing ten-sions between Russia and Ukraine caused the United Nations Se-curity Council to call an emergency meeting Sunday, according to CNN.

Pro-Russian dem-onstrators in Ukraine have occupied govern-ment buildings in cit-ies in eastern Ukraine, including the city hall in Kharkiv. Earlier this month, Russia officially annexed the peninsula of Crimea after citizens voted in favor of split-ting from Ukraine.

Ukraine’s acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, said Sun-day that anyone who supports the Russian takeover of govern-ment buildings will be held responsible, but offered amnesty to nonviolent demon-strators who leave the buildings by Monday.

A fire expert found no evidence of the Fe-dEx tractor-trailer that collided with a bus full of students Thursday being on fire before the crash, according to the National Transporta-tion Safety Board.

The crash occurred Thursday on the 5 Freeway near Orland, Calif. and claimed 10 lives, including five students. The students were on their way to visit Humboldt State University for a cam-pus tour.

Authorities said the bus driver tried to avoid the FedEx truck. But investiga-tors found no skid marks where the truck crossed the median, in-dicating the driver did not apply the brakes.

NTSB officials said they are not ruling any-thing out at this point in the investigation.

For freshmen and sopho-mores, the trip gives the ca-dets a taste of what to expect in the Army before signing a contract as a junior commit-ting to enlist as an officer.

While the exercises are a learning experience for low-erclassmen, they are an im-portant test for the juniors. Juniors are evaluated by senior cadets to see what they can improve so they are ready for the leadership development assessment course (L-DAC), a national ROTC event.

The L-DAC is the biggest test for juniors, and it deter-mines if they qualify to grad-uate from ROTC and become an officer in the Army. This is where they find out if they are able to move on as senior cadets; if not, they have to re-peat the test.

As instructors, the best one can hope for is that the next patrol is better than the last, said Cadet Captain Evan

Edison, a senior in charge of evaluating juniors.

“It’s a big change, going from a position where you are always under a microscope to one where you have to be able to see the big picture and the little picture at the same time and let your guys know just exactly what you’re looking for and what they can do better on the next go-around,” Edison said.

The battalion splits up into two platoons to run patrol. It is an exercise in leadership, coordination and enemy en-gagements. Cadets are giv-en coordinates to find, and all they have to navigate is a map, notepad and compass.

Before darkness complete-ly overtakes the sky, planning begins. Freshmen and soph-omores can be seen huddled around red lights plotting out points on a map and fig-uring out which direction to depart together, while ju-niors have to go solo.

Red lights are used to pre-serve what little night vision the cadets have left to make it

easier when traveling only by the moonlight. When the sky is completely dark, they final-ly depart through the brush and crater-covered hills of Camp Pendleton.

After the allotted time is up, the cadets turn back to their main base, known as TOC, where they turn their papers in under harsh spot-lights, then receive grades based on how many of the four locations they were able to find under the time limit. Two are required to pass.

Three days of no shower-ing, sleeping under the stars and carrying everything on their back–the cadets were relieved to head home.

With this experience under their belts, they felt ready to take on further challenges.

The next big event for CSUF’s ROTC is the oppor-tunity to ride in helicopters Friday. The Blackhawks will be landing in the soccer field and will give the cadets a chance to familiarize them-selves with the structure and safety of a helicopter.

Taking their first steps at CSUF

Students to bring TED’s ‘ideas worth spreading’ to campus

Cal State Fullerton will play host Tuesday to Jer-emy Bellotti, a fitness en-trepreneur who will be fine-tuning his talk on how perception affects reality before delivering it to an audience in Luxembourg on April 26.

Bellotti will partici-pate in TEDx UBI Wiltz, a conference hosted inde-pendently but adheres to standards set by organiz-ers of official TED events. TED (Technology, Enter-tainment, Design) con-ferences invite speakers who embody the slogan of “ideas worth spreading.”

LEAD at CSUF, an off-campus branch of a na-tional organization that helps encourage personal growth among students, helped organize the event. LEAD members had to work quickly in partner-ship with Sigma Nu and Delta Sigma Pi to reserve

space for Bellotti, a busi-ness management consul-tant and life coach.

Jen Wang, a team leader with LEAD at CSUF, met with Bellotti at a confer-ence about two weeks ago, and he expressed an inter-est in speaking at CSUF. Bellotti agreed to speak for free; that will also be the case at the TEDx confer-ence, which is required to be a nonprofit operation.

Royce Duong is a busi-ness marketing student at CSUF, member of LEAD and president of Sigma Nu. He said he developed an interest in TED and TEDx talks when participating in speech competitions at high school.

He cited a 2006 speech from Ken Robinson, titled “education kills creativity,” as one of the significant lectures that sparked his interest in TED.

“It really changed my life and introduced me to the whole idea that there’s more out there,” Duong said. “There’s dif-ferent ways to think about things. It just spoke to a very curious person inside of me, and ever since then, I’ve just always followed

TED.”Bellotti’s speech, titled

“From Hopeless to Lim-itless: The Power of the FitLife Experience,” will concern the power of per-ception and how peo-ple can control it to their benefit. The Bellotti Fit-Life Project, which Bellot-ti founded, provides indi-vidualized coaching and consultation for consum-ers, as well as freely avail-able articles and videos on the organization’s official website.

As of Sunday, 84 attend-ees have declared their

intent to attend the speech on the event’s Facebook page.

“We’re trying to get a lot of people who have the same interest in the same room together, and from that, we just thoroughly believe that great things are going to happen,” he said.

The speech, Duong said, will hopefully spark stu-dents’ interest in TED conferences, which could ultimately lead to a TED-fo-cused club on campus and possibly TEDx events being hosted at CSUF.

As a result of the library closures, students have had issues retrieving books required for their class-es. Interlibrary loan ser-vices and e-books provid-ed through the library are available as alternatives.

The library has also in-stituted a book paging ser-vice. Using a request form available on the library’s website, books can be re-quested and will be placed on a shelf in the Writing Center on the first floor of

the library with a 24-hour turnaround time.

If a book cannot be lo-cated in the library, it will automatically be request-ed through the interlibrary loan service.

Services previously of-fered in the south side of the library have been moved to the northern end. A full list of relocations is available on the library’s website.

To help the commu-nity to understand the quake that left many resi-dents with broken belong-ings and displaced some from their homes, David

Bowman, Ph.D., the in-terim dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, will explain the science behind the quake.

Bowman, a seismologist, will host a lecture Tues-day at 7 p.m. to help break down the aftermath of the earthquake in the Com-munity Room of the Ful-lerton Public Library. He will explain which faults may have caused the earth-quake and what the most recent temblors could mean for earthquake safe-ty in the future.

Local seismologists have

determined the quake struck on a fault under the Puente Hills thrust fault, but it did not agitate the Puente Hills or Whittier faults. They expect a major earthquake would strike on the Whittier fault.

Federal damage assess-ment teams are expect-ed to survey the problems caused by the earthquake this week to determine if the situation warrants fed-eral aid.

A full report on the structural damage on campus will be completed within the next few weeks, a university official said.

Stephen Colbert was just announced as the new host for CBS’ Late Show, and with all due re-spect to David Letterman, the man who has hosted the show since it began in 1993, the decision seems appropriate and vital.

Comedy, like any oth-er form of entertainment, evolves and grows. Humor that worked in the past might not necessarily be as applicable now. And if time is any indicator, this particular change is necessary.

Letterman’s show has generally always trailed the Tonight Show in terms of ratings. With 3.83 mil-lion viewers thus far this season, the Tonight Show attracts a larger audience than the Late Show, according to the Hol-l y -

w o o d Reporter.

Since Feb. 17, the To-night Show has garnered 5.018 million viewers, while the Late Show has gathered 2.769 million viewers, accord-ing to ratings col-lected by Zap2It.com.

Clearly, the an-nounced change has arrived at an appropri-ate time.

However, some have claimed that going with another “white mid-dle-aged man” to host a show that a white old-er-aged man hosted for over 20 years argues there is an implied patriarchy among late-night talk show hosts.

Amanda Hess, a writ-er for Slate, described late-night shows as being “white-male dominat-ed” and are f i l l e d

a g a i n s t that last

statement.CBS Enter-

work spoke with men and women from a vari-ety of ethnicities before coming to the decision of Colbert.

“We had a completely diverse group of people being talked about. But you have to make a deci-sion that’s the best choice for the job. And Stephen was just above everyone else,” Tassler said.

Conan O’Brien found success as the host of Conan on TBS after

NBC deemed him u nsuccessf u l

work and dropped him as the host of the Tonight Show less than a year into his hosting tenure.

Clearly, middle-aged white men aren’t nec-essarily safe in terms of success when it comes to hosting a late-night talk show.

While on that thought, demanding that a wom-an should host the Late Show as a means to pro-mote diversity in the media is somewhat presumptuous.

Not only is David Let-terman the only man who has hosted the Late Show, but he is also the only person to ever host the show. And not to discred-it women in the slightest, but the risk of putting a woman as a host would be too great for CBS.

Also, if there is one thing that all the late-night talk show shows seem to agree on, it’s try-ing to find a fresh voice that will reach out to a new audience. The age of most of the current primetime talk show hosts is about 50.

Jay Leno, who was re-cently replaced by Jimmy Fallon as the host, is 63. It only makes sense that the 67-year-old Letterman has the younger Colbert take his place.

Johnny Carson retired as the host for the Tonight Show at the age of 66 af-ter hosting the show for 30 years. While Carson hosted the show longer than either Leno or Let-terman did, he was very close to the age of Letter-man when he retired.

Maybe some trends s h o u l d n ’ t

change.

New Game of Thrones rekindles flame

Winter has passed, spring is here, and with it has come another season of Game of Thrones.

The first episode of the fourth season premiered last Sunday, April 6.

While the last season of Game of Thrones left quite a few loose ends for this sea-son to pick up on, the start of this season only touched on a few.

The death of Sansa and Arya Stark’s family has left them both in separate yet similar situations: un-der the protection of two men with whom they like-ly would have never seen themselves.

Sansa’s husband, Tyrion Lannister is trying to pro-tect her from the insuffer-able king Joffrey. While Arya has found herself under the protection of the surpris-ingly lovable Hound as he accompanies her to con-nect with her last remaining family.

Jon Snow has made it back to the Night’s Watch after escaping from the wildlings. Granted, he made it there with a couple arrows in him and barely hanging on to life.

After making it to safety, he almost lost his life again

for admitting to the Night’s Watch council that he slept with a wildling.

Sleeping with a woman would normally result in de-capitation, but after some smooth talking he made it out of his hearing alive and his head attached.

The mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, now has an army of freed slaves in addition to her slowly growing dragon trio accom-panying her to Westeros. The promotional materi-al for season four showed a dragon flying over King’s

Landing. Hopefully this means Daenerys will final-ly make it to King’s Landing this season.

At one point, Daenerys tries to touch the biggest dragon, he snaps at her, nearly biting her. This could be foreshadowing for her

eventual loss of control over her dragons.

After nearly an entire sea-son of being held in cap-tivity and losing one of his hands, Jaime Lannister has finally made it to King’s Landing with the help of Brienne of Tarth.

Last season left the ques-tion of whether or not Cer-sei and Jaime would re-sume their incestuous relationship.

This question happened to be answered quite ear-ly on in the season four premiere.

It turns out Jaime took too long to get back to Cer-sei. Jaime’s attempted sex-ual advances toward Cersei were stopped and followed by her bluntly telling him their relationship was over.

The Hound and Arya made sure to fill out the death quota for the episode.

Arya was reunited with her sword, Needle, and got sweet revenge by killing the man that killed her friend.

The episode overall was a good start for the season. It was packed with all of the things that Game of Thrones is known for: death, violence and nudity.

It set up the upcoming season, while shining some light on a couple of the loose ends from the previous season.

The takeaway from this episode: If the Hound wants chicken, give the Hound chicken.

The episode two teas-ers show scenes of Joffrey’s marriage, so it seems he and Margaery will be tying the knot this episode. Fingers crossed one of Daenerys’ dragons swoops in and eats him before that happens.

“I met a lady in the meads. Full beautiful–a faery’s child; her hair was long, her foot was light, and her eyes were wild,” reads the fourth stanza in John Keats’ La Belle Dame Sans Merci, a tale of a knight’s love scorned by a beauti-ful woman. Or, perhaps, a metaphor for the way the beauties of the Earth mask the death and tragedy that come along with it.

This quintessential Keats piece, in both its literal and metaphorical interpreta-tions, serves as the lifeblood and backbone of Johnna Adams’ intense three-wom-an play, Sans Merci.

Sans Merci tells the story of two polar opposite wom-en dealing with grief and loss in the wake of a horri-ble tragedy.

Kelly, a passionate hu-man rights activist and po-litical science major, meets Tracy Bird, a wide-eyed lit-erature major with a pen-chant for anxiety attacks, while attending UC Irvine, and ignites a romantic re-lationship that would ulti-mately lead to Tracy’s tragic death.

After learning of Tra-cy and Kelly’s relationship, Tracy’s mother, Elizabeth Bird, travels to California

to confront her daughter’s former lover and the person whom she feels is responsi-ble for her death.

The play opens on Kelly, played by the enthusiastic Cassie Vail Yeager, being disturbed by a knock on her apartment door on an un-usually stormy Los Angeles afternoon. A rain-soaked Elizabeth Bird, played con-vincingly by Paige Polcene, enters and the two women begin to unravel the story of Tracy’s death on a human-itarian mission, the truth behind Kelly and Tracy’s relationship and the tragic bond the two women now share.

The dialogue between Kelly and Elizabeth is spo-radically interrupted by flashback scenes that play out downstage of the pres-ent scene, in which Kelly and Tracy’s relationship is shown blossoming. Even-tually Tracy decides to ac-company Kelly on a trip to Colombia to help save the sacred land of the U’wa tribe from an oil drilling.

While on the trip, the two girls are beaten and raped by rebel soldiers, with only Kelly surviving the attack with a crippling leg injury.

In her final scene Ash-ley Elizabeth Allen, the actress that plays Tracy,

gives an outstanding per-formance, which far ex-ceeds the content of the written material.

Naked, bloodied and beaten Tracy wails a vow to tell the world of the soldiers’ horrific deeds before being shot in the head.

While the tone and sub-ject of this story are ex-ceedingly somber, the odd couple-esque pairing of Elizabeth and Kelly pro-vide the narrative with some much needed laughs. In addition, Yeager and Al-len have great chemistry as captivated lovers.

This performance also benefits greatly from excel-lent stage production, par-ticularly in the aforemen-tioned flashbacks and death scene. The crew was able to perfectly use the intimate space of the small theatre to the story’s advantage.

Sans Merci is directed by Katie Chidester and runs Thursday, Friday and Sat-urday at 8 p.m. from April 4-26 at The Garage Theatre in Long Beach.

Tickets may be purchased online at TheGarageTheatre.org or at the theater’s box of-fice 30 minutes prior to each night’s performance. Tick-ets are $18 for general ad-mission and $15 for seniors, students and teachers.

Sans Merci is the first play of the spring season at The Garage Theatre in Long Beach. The show will until April 26 with performances Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m.

Johnna Adams’ powerful college-themed drama debuts in Long Beach

Page 6: Monday, April 14, 2014

The Cal State Fullerton baseball team dropped two of three games against UC Santa Barbara in a Big West Conference series over the weekend.

Game 1

In game one on Friday, CSUF (18-13, 3-3 Big West) and UCSB (22-8, 4-5 Big West) engaged in a back and forth battle that was suspended due to darkness after 10 innings with the teams tied at nine.

When play resumed on Saturday, junior J.D. Davis made sure the conclusion of the game would come quickly after his two-run double scored fellow ju-niors Matt Chapman and Clay Williamson for an 11-9 lead.

Davis pitched a scoreless bottom half of the inning to earn his second win of the season.

The Titan offense got off to a quick start, bringing across five runs in the first three innings, thanks to timely hitting and shaky Gauchos defense that al-lowed two runs on errors.

Trailing 5-3 in the fourth inning, the Gauchos battled back and took the lead on RBI singles by Jackson Mor-row and Robby Nesovic. A Titans fielding error also re-sulted in a run, giving UCSB a 6-5 lead.

The very next inning, CSUF put four runs on the board, highlighted by RBI singles from sophomore Jake Jefferies and senior Jar-ed Deacon. UCSB answered with runs in the fifth, sev-enth and eighth innings that kept the score tied un-til play continued a day later.

Titan starter Thomas Es-helman went six innings, allowing 10 hits and eight runs, six of which were earned in a no-decision.

Game 2

In the second game on Saturday, the two teams again played a tightly con-tested game, with UC Santa Barbara coming away with the 3-2 walk-off victory.

With the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth in-ning, Gaucho Joey Epperson ripped a single up the mid-dle off of junior Koby Gauna, bringing in Cameron Newell for the winning run.

Gauna dropped to 1-2 on the season as he came in as relief for starter Grahamm Wiest.

Wiest turned in a solid eight innings of work, allow-ing two runs, one earned, while giving up seven hits.

The Titans recorded eight hits on the afternoon, but left seven runners on base. Junior Austin Diemer was the only Titan in the game with multiple hits, finishing the day two-for-four.

For the Gauchos, Dome-nic Mazza improved to 3-2 this season after throwing five dominant innings, al-lowing one hit and striking out five.

UCSB shortstop Peter Maris was three-for-four with one RBI and one run scored.

The Titans jumped out to an early 2-1 lead after a Tan-ner Pinkston RBI single in the third and Deacon’s bas-es loaded walk in the fourth inning. The score would stay the same until the sixth inning when UCSB’s Andrew Calica brought in Maris to score on an RBI groundout.

Game 3

In the series deciding game on Sunday, the Titans were unable to generate much offense in a 2-1 loss versus the Gauchos.

With the game scoreless in the fourth inning, UCSB took the lead on a Newell sacrifice fly and a Billy Fred-rick RBI single, which was enough for the victory.

Despite eight hits, CSUF left 10 runners on base as the season-long issue of scoring runs continued to

plague the team.Trailing 2-0 in the fifth

inning, the Titans finally got on the board thanks to a Chapman RBI single that brought Williamson in to score. Unfortunately for the Titans, it would be their only offense for the game.

Gauchos starter Ken-ny Chapman came up with his first victory of the sea-son after silencing the Titan bats for most of the game. Chapman allowed five hits and struck out three in five innings of work. Reliev-er Dillon Tate came in for

his eighth save of the sea-son, striking out four in two innings.

For the Titans, freshman Phil Bickford fell to 3-2 on the season after allowing eight hits and two earned runs in six innings of work. After the freshman exited in the seventh inning, relievers Willie Kuhl, Tyler Peitzmei-er and Miles Chambers held the Gauchos to one hit the rest of the game.

The Cal State Fullerton softball team lost to UC Riverside, 6-0, Sunday at Anderson Family Field.

The loss marked the Ti-tans’ first series loss of the season. CSUF went into the Sunday afternoon match with the series still hang-ing in the balance after splitting the doubleheader on Saturday.

Head Coach Kelly Ford gave the ball to Jasmine Antunez to start the rub-ber match for the Titans (24-16-1, 5-4 Big West). An-tunez made her 20th start of the season and entered the game with a team-high 97 innings pitched and al-most six strikeouts per game.

Antunez struck out se-nior center fielder Dionne Anderson to open the game. She then gave up her team-high 11th home run to freshman first baseman Karina Romero.

“They were a really ag-gressive team and we just didn’t make our adjust-ments soon enough,” se-nior catcher Ariel Tsuchi-yama said.

Antunez ran into trou-ble again in the second in-ning when she allowed a leadoff single and a walk to start the inning. Junior shortstop Kris DeAnda hit an RBI double to give the Highlanders a 2-0 lead.

Junior Alyssa Raza start-ed in the circle for the Highlanders (21-21, 2-7 Big West). Raza leads the High-landers in innings pitched (143) and earned run aver-age (3.18) while also lead-ing the Big West Confer-ence with 27 starts. She continued her excellent season on Sunday.

Raza scattered five hits in her sixth scoreless out-ing of the season while re-cording her first complete game shutout.

“She just placed it well. She figured out real quick where our weakness was and kept exposing it,” Ford said. “She did such a good job of sticking to her plan and exposing that weakness.”

The Titans were making solid contact off Raza but they could not find holes in the Highlander defense.

“Their outfield was ridic-ulous. They were throw-ing money throws at ev-ery opportunity, taking every potential hit away with just playing great de-fense,” Ford said. “Hats off to them. They put together a great series.”

“We just couldn’t catch a break,” Tsuchiyama said. “Every solid hit that we

thought we had, they dove and caught it.”

Tsuchiyama got one of the Titans’ five hits Sun-day. She extended her hit-ting streak to a career-high nine games. She had five hits in 11 at bats in the se-ries and recorded a double in all three games.

“I’ve just been trying to simplify things a lot,” Tsuchiyama said. “Hitting behind Missy (Taukeiaho) isn’t an easy task but I’ve just been trying to keep it simple and do what I can.”

Ford pulled Antunez af-ter just two innings and gave the ball to freshman Christina Washington.

Washington coasted through her first two in-nings in relief but her de-fense let her down in the top of the fifth inning. An-derson singled and stole second base on the ensu-ing pitch. Romero then reached first on a fielding error by sophomore third baseman Missy Taukeia-ho. Anderson’s stolen base was her 37th of the sea-son, good for tops in the Big West.

The Highlanders re-mained aggressive on the basepaths and executed a double steal, moving two runners into scoring po-sition. Sophomore desig-nated player Ashley Ercol-ano singled to drive in a run and freshman second baseman Haley Harris hit a sacrifice fly to extend the Highlander lead to 4-0.

Sophomore catcher Na-talie Sanchez hit a double to drive in Ercolano to ex-tend the lead to 5-0. Ford brought in sophomore Monique Wesley to finish the frame. Washington al-lowed three runs in her outing but only one was earned.

Wesley allowed a sixth inning home run to fresh-man right fielder Som-mer Wilson that ended the scoring for the game.

“It lights a little fire un-der our butts. We might have had a little bit too much confidence. I think it really humbles us and now we have to get to work and figure out what we’re going to fix,” Tsuchiyama said.

The Titans hope to bounce back against Long Beach State in a three-game series starting Wednesday.

HOROSCOPESARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19):

Pluto turns retrograde (until 9/23), and power struggles decrease. It’s still not a good time to argue. Pressure eases, and you can take time to look back. Secure the ground taken. Be cautious with long-distance travel, and take it slow. Watch conditions for changes.

TAURUS(APRIL 20 - MAY 20):

With Pluto retrograde for the next five months, political control issues ease. Careful financial review reveals future expenses, so keep it frugal and stick to the budget. Pay bills. Do the research to craft a plan that fulfills a brilliant idea. Share your dream.

GEMINI(MAY 21 - JUNE 20):

Listen, but don’t argue. Intuitively, you know which path to take. Don’t gam-ble or spend on treats for the kids. Push yourself recreationally. For the next five months, re-affirm and revise partner-ships. Wait to see what develops. Some-one’s saying nice things about you.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22):

Figure out how much you can afford to put away. Your intuition gets validated. With Pluto retrograde (until 9/23), au-thoritarian pressure eases, and you can relax and recharge. Express your emo-tions artistically. Settle into a pleasant routine at work. Make future plans.

LEO(JULY 23 - AUG. 22):

Don’t gamble with your reserves or buy stuff you don’t need. Check on supplies. Over the next five months, strengthen relations with your community and partnerships. Take time to knit struc-tures together for mutual support. Work for peace, beauty and freedom. Talk is cheap.

VIRGO(AUG. 23 - SEPT. 22):

Discover family secrets from the past over the next five months. Get into the research. Take time for personal discov-ery, and capture it in words and images. Indulge in creative chaos. Get outside and taste freedom. Schedule more time for rejuvenation and relaxation.

LIBRA(SEPT. 23 - OCT. 22):

Bossy overlords get distracted while Pluto’s retrograde (until 9/23). Savor creative freedom, and push your per-sonal agenda. Consider possibilities, and make long-range plans. Budget carefully, and play by the rules. Listen to your intuition about the road ahead. Communicate your passionate commit-ments.

SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22 - DEC. 21):

Over the next five months, reassess your resources. Include talents, affinities, and connections. You have more than you think. Keep equipment in repair. Avoid wasting time indulging gossip. Com-munications could unveil surprises... make statements as if everything you say were public. Keep secrets to yourself.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 - JAN. 19):

The intensity lets up with Pluto retro-grade for the next five months. Use this break to review strategies. Write the roadmap to reach a future personal goal accomplished. Cultivate your leader-ship. Take it slow to avoid accidents. A new contraption isn’t reliable.

AQUARIUS(JA. 20 - FEB. 18):

With Pluto retrograde for the next five months, take time to review and reflect. Prepare a retrospective, dig into family history, or write your memories. Study and explore. Plan a peaceful retreat. Communications could seem intense today... soothe emotions with some-thing delicious. Sign contracts later.

PISCES(FEB. 19 - MARCH 20):

Let love spur you to make or renew a commitment. New information could change options. A decision could get reversed. Listen to your senses. Take on new responsibility for greater indepen-dence. For five months (with Pluto ret-rograde) review and refine plans. Learn from the past.

NAU freshman goalie Ian Smith showed frustration with his defense by yelling at them.

The Titans found open shots easily and the NAU defense was not communicating effectively.

The Lumberjacks got on the scoreboard early in the second quarter with a goal by senior midfielder Hayden Heigel.

Junior midfielder Jeffrey Gibb found a hole in the Titan defense and set up Heigel for the goal.

Laurino and the Titan defense were a brick wall in the first half.

Laurino leads the SLC in save percent-age (.649) and goals allowed average (5.3).

“We came out really strong in the first half and kind of gave it to them and they just let up. The game was over before it even started, honestly,” Laurino said. “When you have defense like that and their shots are from far outside all the time, they are easy to gobble up.”

The Titans tacked on four more goals in the second quarter to head into halftime with an 11-1 lead.

Sophomore attackman Braden Goebel found freshman midfielder and the team’s leading scorer Alex Kowalski for the final goal of the half.

NAU battled in the third quarter. Soph-omore attackman Alexander Adler scored two goals in the quarter.

Kowalski tacked on another goal for the Titans to go into the fourth quarter up 12-3.

Ansel cleared the bench in the fourth quarter, bringing in junior goalie Tony Lopez.

Sophomore midfielder Ryan Mendenhall scored the Titans’ final goal in the fourth quarter.

Mendenhall was the eighth Titan to score a goal.

The Titans will play Cal State Chan-nel Islands Friday to finish the regular season.

Titans squander chances in UCLA loss

Titans dominate NAU to win conference title

Missed opportunities doomed the Cal State Ful-lerton softball team in its 5-2 loss to No. 2 UCLA on Thursday in front of a sell-out crowd at Anderson Family Field.

Third baseman Missy Taukeiaho got the game started with a bang, mus-cling a high and away pitch over the right-center field fence to give the Ti-tans an early 1-0 lead.

Taukeiaho increased her Big West leading home run total to 13 after her first inning blast.

The sophomore trans-fer had experience facing UCLA starting pitcher Ally Carda with her first year playing for the Washing-ton Huskies.

“We faced them last year playing with Washing-ton and we swept them, it was a pretty good se-ries though. We faced Car-da, so it was pretty famil-iar,” Taukeiaho said. “I wasn’t too overwhelmed or worried about playing tonight.”

The Titans seemed poised for another upset over a top-ranked team af-ter the early lead.

Previously this season, CSUF has notched big wins over defending na-tional champions Oklaho-ma and No. 12 Baylor.

However, UCLA quick-ly erased the Titan lead in the second inning with a three-run bomb courtesy of right fielder Jelly Felix.

CSUF starting pitcher

Monique Wesley would be pulled at the end of the in-ning in favor of freshman Christina Washington.

Washington worked herself into jams in the next pair of innings, but made the key pitch when it counted to get out of each inning unscathed.

Washington gave up two hits and a walk in her two innings of work.

Jasmine Antunez was next called on by Head Coach Kelly Ford in the fifth inning to quell the potent Bruin offense.

Like Washington, An-tunez bent but did not break in her inning of work, giving up three walks but no hits while striking out one.

“When you’re facing such a great hitting team, you’re very cautious with where you’re placing the pitches,” Ford said about the seven walks by CSUF pitchers in the game. “I wish we could have tak-en three or four of those walks back for sure be-cause that gave them free-bies. Great teams capital-ize on freebies, and they capitalized on them. It hurt us.”

The Titans threatened to tie the game in the bot-tom of the fifth inning.

UCLA committed an er-ror on what appeared to be a routine double play.

Senior left fielder Leesa

Harris grounded the ball back to Carda, but Car-da’s toss to second base sailed to the left of Del-aney Spaulding.

Taukeiaho singled after Carda’s error, loading the bases for the Titans.

With no outs and the bases juiced, Carda struck out two Titans and in-duced a lazy infield pop f ly to escape the inning.

Carda’s brilliant mix of her rise ball and her chan-geup were what aided her to get out of the jam.

“We haven’t seen a rise ball that good in a while, we chased that sucker,”

Ford said. “And then she’s got a great off speed. She just has a calm presence, I was very impressed with her.”

Wesley returned in the sixth inning to finish off the game.

The sophomore ran into trouble almost immedi-ately as the Bruins load-ed the bases with only one out.

Spaulding hit a sacrifice f ly to center field to bring home the fourth UCLA run and a bases loaded walk forced in the fifth to give the visiting Bruins a four run cushion.

The Titans were able to scrap across a run in the seventh inning, but that was all the comeback bid could muster.

Senior catcher Ariel Tsuchiyama hit a sharp grounder to right field to drive in Harris to pad the CSUF stats.

With the win, Carda’s record moves to an im-pressive 21-2 while the loss drops Wesley to 3-3 on the season.

The Titans should be en-couraged by a valiant ef-fort against a powerhouse program in which they set themselves up with

numerous opportunities to win. CSUF was in posi-tion to topple another top-ranked school, but timely hitting would ultimately be the deciding factor in this game.

“I’m of course disap-pointed with the loss be-cause we’re capable. We played right with them, and a few breaks and a few different outcomes and we have a victory,” Ford said. “We competed with them and that is inspiring.”
