This graph shows the availability of parking on February 2, 2014, a date chosen at random. From 9:45 to 11:30 a.m., all three campus parking structures were completely full, according to data from Cal State Fullerton Geological Information Systems. Although student enrollment has increased, CSUF has not kept up with demand.

No plan for parking

Some people would not assume that second-year kinesiology major Jennifer Low’s floral dress and charm-ingly unassuming manner would clothe an unyieldingly determined in-ner core.

Underneath the initially shy exte-rior is a girl with a drive that goes be-yond any obstacles that might hold her back from accomplishing her goals.

While some students pursue their majors for the prospect of person-al success alone, Low desires to give back to others, particularly her moth-er and father who struggled with se-vere medical conditions throughout much of her childhood.

Although she has never voiced it to her parents, they are her inspiration. As a young girl, Low remembers see-ing her mother battle nasopharyn-geal cancer, which affects the back of the nose.

Low did not understand the severi-ty of the cancer at the time, but she re-members the treatment of the illness, which ravaged her mother’s nose and face. The radiation would cause vom-iting in the middle of the night and constant discomfort in her nerves

and muscles.Seeing her mother deal with cancer

inspired Low to major in kinesiolo-gy, which studies human movement. She hopes to become an occupation-al therapist to alleviate her mother’s condition, along with helping others who suffer from similar ailments.

“That job would be really reward-ing and really personal,” Low said. “I would be helping people that would be in a similar situation to my mom.”

Low admires how her mother does everything for her family, in spite of her health. Low said she hopes to be able to do the same for the people she loves.

“I want to be a woman like her, somebody who does the most and the best for the people around me and the people I care about,” she said.

Low, a California native, said her close-knit family and her faith in God are her foundation. She found it diffi-cult being apart from her parents and brother and sister, even in her first year of college when she stayed in an on-campus dorm room.

Although Low said she learned a lot from being away from home, she has since moved back and currently com-mutes to school. This way, Low can continue to be a support system for her mom.

David Ike, Low’s boyfriend, is also a kinesiology major in his third year. He said he witnessed how often Low gives her mom massages to help ease the soreness of the years of radioac-tive treatment—a task that would

have been hard to do regularly if she lived far away.

“I see her take on a lot of responsi-bilities at home,” Ike said. “She is al-ways willing to do whatever it takes to help her family out.”

However, Low said she has not al-ways felt as grateful to her parents as she does now. It was only in the middle of a heated dispute with her mom did Low realize the depth of her mother’s sacrifice for her family.

By observing her mother, Low learned to never to give up even when situations seem unbearable.

“She never loses hope,” Ike said.Low’s former youth pastor, Hanley

Liu, who witnessed the family’s strug-gle and her growth firsthand, said there were times when her mom was suddenly hospitalized and the fami-ly had to immediately stop what they were doing to be with her. The family had to remain strong during times of uncertainty and hardship.

“I saw the perseverance in her par-ents, and how they continued to fight through, especially her dad, and how they persevered through a lot of trial and a lot of pain,” Liu said.

Jennifer Low, a kinesiology major at Cal State Fullerton, wants to perform research about nasopharyngeal cancer, which affects the back of the nose.

Major Spotlight

With a plan to increase parking fees from $229 to $236 per semester begin-ning July 1, 2016, and no af-firmative proposal in place to expand parking capaci-ties, parking fees and space availability rank highly among student concerns at Cal State Fullerton.

In an October interview

with the Daily Titan, Pres-ident Mildred García ac-knowledged the issues students may have with parking. However, she said the university did not have a plan in place to construct new parking structures or otherwise add parking spaces on campus.

“If we have to increase enrollment, then we’re go-ing to have to start looking at possible—more parking structures. But that’s go-ing to be a college discus-sion, a discussion with all of the major stakeholders,” García said. “Right now there are no options. It’s

not off the table, but we ha-ven’t decided.”

Since October, no plan to expand parking spaces at CSUF has been publicly announced.

Most parking traffic oc-curs between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Monday through Thursday, with about 10,000 students competing for parking spaces during these hours, as noted on the CSUF Parking and Transportation Services website.

From 9:45-11:30 a.m., it is common for all three cam-pus parking structures to be completely full, ac-cording to data from a Cal

State Fullerton Geological Information Systems web page that tracks parking availability.

More spots become avail-able at around 1:15 p.m.

No additional parking spaces have been added since 2011, but 4,000 more students were enrolled last semester compared to spring 2011.

There are no plans for ad-ditional parking structures in the near future, accord-ing to the Department of Parking and Transportation Services.

Although the current state of parking at CSUF

and the potential for expan-sion may seem discourag-ing, students should keep in mind that lots A and G, north of the baseball fields, usually have available spaces.

Cal State Fullerton’s park-ing program is self-support-ing and does not use any taxpayer funds.

Student purchases of daily or semester per-mits support the building, maintenance and operat-ing costs associated with university parking.

Fraternities and so-rorities have been fun-damental components of Cal State Fullerton since the 1960s.

CSUF is home to 30 na-tional chapters and lo-cal Greek letter organi-zations with more than 1,200 members, accord-ing to the CSUF Greek Life website. Greek members represent roughly 4 per-cent of the CSUF student population.

The Greek life at CSUF consists of the Panhel-lenic Council (sororities), Interfraternity Council (fraternities), Multicul-tural Greek Council (fra-ternities and sororities) and the National Panhel-lenic Council (fraternities and sororities) consisting of affiliated Greek letter organizations.

The Dean of Students staff helps some of the students in these orga-nizations by providing opportunities and pro-grams for students to grow personally, aca-demically and socially.

“I think when you are joining a fraternity or so-rority you should expect to get out of it some lead-ership development,” said Nathan Olmeda, coordi-nator at the Office of Stu-dent Life and Leadership. “Brotherhood and sister-hood is one of the four pillars of Greek life all around. They should feel that within their chapters and within their entire community.”

Some Greek organiza-tion activities include charity work, tutoring children, fundraising events and competitions, along with sponsoring blood drives and com-munity beach clean-ups. Each organization has a different philanthropy it focuses on.

Some of the other philanthropies the Greek organizations raise money for include Breast Cancer Research, the Ronald Mc-Donald House and Special Olympics.

Service opportunities are also available for stu-dents, such as Adopt-A-School, Achieving You and Greek Food Share.

One of the CSUF sorori-ties, Sigma Kappa, became involved in Alzheimer’s re-search as its philanthropic cause and held activities to raise money.

Michelle McClure, 22, a senior majoring in child and adolescent develop-ment and an alumna of Sig-ma Kappa, was involved in Greek life for four years.

Santa Ana man, 90, dies after crash

Motorcycle rider injured on 91 Freeway

Search for 276 missing girls persists

DTBRIEFS

A 90-year-old man was killed Monday morning when he was struck by a pick-up truck, according to the Orange County Register.

The incident took place at about 5:45 a.m. near the inter-section of East Hobart Street and Oak Street. The man’s family told police that he typically walks that route every morning.

The owner of the pickup stopped at the scene and was later released after officers determined drugs and alcohol were not a con-tributing factor.

The victim was tak-en to a nearby hos-pital, where he was pronounced dead at about 6:30 a.m. His identity has not yet been released and the investigation is still ongoing.

A motorcyclist was injured early Monday morning in a hit-and-run crash on the 91 Freeway, according to the Orange County Register.

A silver vehicle was switching lanes from the left into the car-pool lane and struck the motorcyclist near Magnolia Avenue.

The motorcyclist was knocked down as the car continued to drive away.

Other cars stopped to assist the vic-tim, and he was tak-en to Kaiser Per-manente Anaheim Medical Center for treatment.

The freeway was closed for about 30 minutes, with traffic backed up to the 605 Freeway.

The crash is under investigation with no suspects in custody.

Federal law enforce-ment officials said the FBI is prepared to come to Nigeria to assist in finding 276 teenage girls who were abduct-ed from school, accord-ing to ABC News.

On April 15, more than 300 girls were ab-ducted from their dor-mitories at the Govern-ment Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Ni-geria. Police report-ed 53 had escaped, but the rest were still being held captive.

The leader of Boko Haram, an extrem-ist militant group, claimed responsibili-ty Monday for kidnap-ping the girls, saying the group intends to sell them.

The Nigerian govern-ment is demanding the return of the girls, and President Goodluck Jonathan is promising their return.

PARKINGContinued from PAGE 1

Enrollment outpaces parkingStudents sometimes for-

get to properly display their parking permits, which can result in unexpected park-ing tickets. Some students even risk having their ve-hicles towed by frequent-ly parking on public streets and in front of the homes of residents in surrounding communities.

According to the Depart-ment of Parking and Trans-portation Services, not hav-ing a valid CSUF parking permit visibly displayed was among the most frequent parking violation occur-rences in 2013.

Students accounted for 76 percent of revenue dis-tribution from sale of park-ing permits for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, while 18 percent came from visitors and the remaining 6 per-cent came from faculty and staff, according to Parking and Transportation Services data.

There are currently about

8,640 standard parking spaces available to CSUF students.

Three parking structures, Nutwood, State College and Eastside, were added in 2004, 2006 and 2010, accounting for 5,433 parking structure spaces. The university also contains 3,207 permanent and temporary surface or non-structure spaces for stu-dent use.

The cost of student semes-ter parking permits has risen by nearly $100 since 2004.

Cpl. Jose Rosales, a crime prevention and community services officer with Univer-sity Police, advises students to arrive early and plan well in advance to avoid a parking citation.

“There’s 40,000 plus indi-viduals here including stu-dents, faculty and staff. Giv-en the size of the property, it’s hard to have so many parking lots,” said Rosales, a CSUF alumnus.

Although he understands students’ frustration, Ro-sales said arriving 15 to 20 minutes early is usually not

enough.“If you come 15 to 20 min-

utes before your class starts, it’s going to be tough, not just at this university, I think at other universities that are highly populated (too),” he said. “The best thing to do is

just come early, (even) if you need to come an hour early, find a parking spot; that way you’re relaxed and you’re not going to get angry.”

Rosales and Sweet both advise students to look in lots A and G, because these

lots have been reported to have the most vacant park-ing spaces.

AMANDA SHARP / Daily Titan

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Santa Ana), who will de-liver the commencement speech for Cal State Ful-lerton’s graduating class on May 18, has no short-age of connections to the campus.

Her involvement sprout-ed from her family.

Sanchez, who is one of seven children in a work-ing-class family, graduated from Katella High School in Anaheim.

Both her mother and brother graduated from Cal State Fullerton, and she spent her childhood right down the street from the school. Sanchez said she is excited that she gets to come back.

“It’s kind of a family thing,” she said.

As a person who is always in the public eye, Sanchez said she enjoys telling sto-ries and speaking to people, and she is looking forward to standing at the podium.

At a time when graduates may be a bit nervous about leaving school and jump-ing in to the uncertain job market, Sanchez said she hopes to deliver an optimis-tic message to the class of 2014.

“There’s great things hap-pening all around us, and I want to talk about that to them. About how you guys are the ones who really get to do it all,” she said.

This is Sanchez’s second time as commencement

speaker for the campus. She previously addressed the graduating class of 1997.

She began her congressio-nal career that same year, and she is currently serving her ninth term in the House of Representatives. As the representative of Califor-nia’s 46th Congressional District, she oversees cities in northern Orange County, including Anaheim, Santa Ana and Garden Grove.

Although she did not at-tend CSUF herself, and in-stead received her bache-lor’s degree from Chapman University where she teach-es and serves as a trustee, her ties to the campus com-munity are strong.

“Cal State Fullerton is a very important piece of our community,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez dedicates her ef-forts to programs such as the CSUF Special Games

and social work students’ efforts to combat home-lessness in Orange County with the “Box City” event on April 25. She has also brought in grants for cam-pus programs, including the gerontology depart-ment and obesity center.

Among her political plat-forms, education seems to be one of her biggest prior-ities as a congresswoman.

“We work a lot with our universities because educa-tion is a very important is-sue,” Sanchez said.

After a recent wave of re-districting in 2012, CSUF is no longer in Sanchez’s district.

However, some of her most important work has been improving the edu-cation system in Southern California.

Sanchez has addressed the needs of education in her district by creating

financial aid workshops and providing support for nourishing after-school programs.

In 2011, she introduced the Global Education Nexus in U.S. (GENIUS) Act, which did not pass.

The bill would have pro-vided funding for goals such as extracurricular programs that would pro-mote international educa-tion in elementary and sec-ondary schools.

Additionally, in January 2014, Sanchez’s office began offering financial aid work-shops at six high schools in Orange County free of charge.

“Education is synony-mous with opportunity and I believe every child deserves the opportuni-ty to learn, work hard and succeed in our society,” Sanchez said in a press release.

Library staff has begun to move back into floors two and three of Pollak Li-brary South, but library stacks will remain closed until at least the end of the summer, a Cal State Fuller-ton official said.

Repairs have been com-pleted on the ventilation system that was damaged by the magnitude 5.1 tem-blor centered in La Habra on March 29. The entirety of the south end was closed for weeks to clean up and repair ceiling tiles and book shelves that were dis-turbed by the quake.

Many offices and ser-vices that resided in Pol-lak Library South were forced to relocate to Pollak

Library North. The university is cur-

rently considering multiple options for repairing dam-aged ceilings, but will not make a final decision un-til the completion of uni-versity commencement ceremonies.

Until repairs are made, the paging system im-plemented after the quake will continue to be available.

Repairs to the library could cost as much as $6 million, but the universi-ty is exploring its options. Ultimately, a mix of meth-ods may be used; some sec-tions of the damaged areas may be repaired to like-new condition, while oth-er sections may simply be stabilized.

The cheapest op-tion is estimated to cost $500,000.

Until a repair option is chosen, it is unclear when the library will be com-pletely reopened.

It has been well established that police are allowed to search a person for weapons or po-tentially illegal items, but that was before people began carry-ing their lives around in their pockets.

Cops are now trying to search through cellphones without an issued warrant, which brings up some issues concerning how le-gal this act is.

The answer is, they shouldn’t be allowed to search a cellphone without a warrant.

Cellphones are not weapons. Cellphones do not pose a threat or safety risk to the arresting officer.

So why should they be able to justify a search of a suspect’s cellphone without a warrant?

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects people against “unreasonable searches and seizures.”

However, a majority of courts have recently found that cell-phone searches are not pro-tected under the Fourth Amendment.

Cellphone searches are at the center of a growing legal de-bate over privacy rights and use of technology. This debate is currently being heard and discussed in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Lower courts have been split on whether cellphones can be searched without a warrant af-ter an arrest, and how much information can be extracted from them.

In People v. Diaz, a 2011

California Supreme Court case, an officer arrested a suspected drug dealer. He confiscated and looked through the dealer’s cell-phone and found incriminating evidence.

The California Supreme Court found that because the cell-phone was found “immediate-ly associated” with defendant’s person, no search warrant was needed for police to search through the cellphone.

In other words, the lower

court decided it was okay for the police to infringe on the rights of the people.

It’s bad enough when a per-son’s family member looks through his or her phone, but a police officer would be much worse.

The Bill of Rights was signed into law for a reason. The rights outlined, including the Fourth Amendment, are there to pro-tect citizens.

They protect the people from

the government potentially try-ing to exercise complete author-ity over the people.

Most may argue the fram-ers of the Bill of Rights couldn’t have possibly foreseen the vast amount of personal information that could be contained within a cellphone when they wrote the Fourth Amendment.

The framers wrote of the “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches.” Nowadays, these “pa-pers and effects” are all housed in a device that fits in a palm.

However, the principle of pri-vacy remains the same.

Think about the confidenc-es that are kept in cellphones: friends, family photos, medical records and meetings. If cops are allowed to start snooping through cellphones, personal and intimate secrets could be revealed.

The people deserve their right to privacy, and cellphones searches without a warrant would definitely be taking this right away.

If a cop has a reasonable jus-tification for wanting to search through a persons cellphone then they can obtain a search warrant for it.

The Supreme Court needs to embrace a broader and more com-plete view of the Fourth Amend-ment rights. The Fourth Amend-ment should be understood to protect citizens against cellphone searches without warrants.

It’s no secret that col-lege is expensive. At Cal State Fullerton, some stu-dents may feel the finan-cial strain while work-ing hard to earn their degree.

Considering the amount of time that goes into work, school and everyday life, there isn’t time for much else. Still, students make it work. Those who are approaching gradua-tion are usually required to complete an internship during their senior year.

With expenses high, students may be forced to reduce their academic workload in order to work more, which in turn push-es back their graduation date further.

Some seniors, whose degree require they take an internship, will opt to take the class alone in the summer after their re-quirements for graduation have been met.

These CSUF seniors find themselves in their last semester of school realizing the summer

internship needed to graduate will cost nearly $1,800.

The class students need to take along with their internship involves good old fashion busy work, according to advis-ers during the internship orientation.

Along with the work in-volved at the internship, students also have an on-line component of the class.

The busy work involves things like résumé build-ing, learning to make con-tacts and taking intern-ship selfies—all via the Internet. Some of these skills may be important but they are also taught at places like the Career Cen-ter or through workshops on campus. They do not need to be part of a stu-dent’s internship class.

Assignments like taking a picture in front of the lo-cation a student is intern-ing at does not benefit him or her in any tangible way. There are plenty of ways to encourage or even require students to complete an internship without requir-ing them to check into an online portal.

Internships are import-ant. They’re certainly ben-eficial and a great way to gain valuable experience. Internships can teach stu-dents a lot about the field they’re going into and what their jobs entail. It’s also a great way to land a

job after college.Forbes reported that 69

percent of companies with 100 or more employees offered full-time jobs to their interns in 2012 and that number is expected to rise each year.

Students should defi-nitely be taking advantage of these types of opportu-nities, but they shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.

It’s bad enough most of these internships are unpaid, but the situation only worsens when stu-dents end up having to take on more loans or pick up more hours to be able to pay for the summer tuition.

College isn’t easy to be-gin with, and schools make it that much harder on the working student.

Of course, it’s true schools do not run with-out money and teachers need to be paid, but that logic should apply to stu-dents actually in a class, paying for an education.

Rather than pay the school to work for anoth-er company for free, why not make it mandatory that students turn in the necessary paperwork that

the current online portion of the internship requires, without charging for the class.

Require students to take on an internship, it’ll give them valuable experi-ence that employers want to see on a résumé, just don’t treat it as a class. This way, the costs asso-ciated with a class will be removed.

Discussion boards in on-line classes are perfect for stu-dents to communicate with one another as they would if the class was taking place on campus.

For many students, inter-acting with one another face-to-face may not be their pref-erence. Some students may prefer to keep to themselves the entire semester.

Online discussion boards al-low students to express them-selves more freely and to be comfortable in the class, es-pecially with class discussions that may be more controver-sial in nature.

There is also no fear of being

embarrassed or criticized in person.

One of the downfalls of dis-cussion boards are the incon-sistencies in terms of content and quality when it comes to the class.

Some online classes may have high demands, while oth-er classes do not, and even some classes may not require any discussion.

As with any course, the ma-terial should challenge stu-dents, but if the effort is not required by professors, ex-pect the same type of effort by students.

An issue that arises in many online classes is that some students will do the bare min-imum while others will go above and beyond in discus-sion posts.

There are classes where even the bare minimum re-quires students to use their critical thinking skills while also citing sources and read-ing in class.

In Theories of Social Behav-ior (SOCI 410), the discussion post requirements are there to

make the students think.Students are required to

put in the time and effort by posting at least 10 sentences, having two or more relevant sources, providing evidence and listing references.

While the posts can be lengthy, the quality of them makes the discussion more en-joyable and educates the stu-dents further.

For professors, online dis-cussion boards are a great way for students to get answers to questions without having to ask the instructor.

There will be times where communicating with the in-structor is necessary, but for simple questions about dates or assignment requirements, the answers are available for all to read.

While there are plenty of positives to taking online classes, a student’s time man-agement and ability to focus remain glaring issues.

When taking an online class, it is easy to forget a due date or to procrastinate on assignments or discussion

forum posts until the last min-ute with many deadlines being at 11:59 p.m. on a given date.

Online discussion boards are the best way for professors to keep students engaged in the class.

Without discussion, stu-dents are simply logging on, turning in assignments, com-pleting tests and then waiting until the following week to do the same routine.

This could result in com-placency from the student as the class becomes bor-ing and stale, as opposed to a class that requires students to get more involved with their classmates by participating in discussion.

With the amount of mon-ey students pay for classes, whether it is on campus or on-line, they should provide stu-dents with a learning experi-ence by including discussion boards in addition to the other assignments and exams.

If not, students are simply being cheated out of money and potential knowledge of a subject.

Liu also saw that same perseverance in Low as she had to become a pil-lar of sup-port for her family.

“(Low) re-ally is a lot more ma-ture than she might per-ceive herself to be a lot of times,” Liu said. “She is think-ing through things a lot deeper because she is fac-ing a reality of coming home to a trial everyday. She has to really trust in God and really exemplify

her faith, and I see that in her parents.”

Low looks to her par-ents as an example to push forward and to

give her all to those she cares about.

She is en-c o u r a g e d everyday to continue her studies in kinesiology.

“I hope that I’d be able to fig-ure out what exactly is the root cause of my mom’s

disabilities,” Low said. “Hopefully, I can contrib-ute to some sort of re-search that would help her heal.”

“Every month (Sigma Kappa does) philanthro-py Friday where we go to an elderly home and we hang out with them,” Mc-Clure said. “We also have an event every year where we raise money to Alzhei-mer’s research and we do a walk. Then for the school we do Greek Week.”

Every year, the fraterni-ties and sororities come together for Greek Week, which is one of the larg-est student-run events. Members from each IFC fraternity and Nation-al Panhellenic sorority come together for six days to participate in events including Greek Olym-pic-style games, a lip syncing talent show and raising money for Camp Titan.

This year during Greek Week, a little over $46,000 was raised. The raising ef-forts included coin wars, individual chapter strat-egies and a recycling col-lection, with Camp Titan being the main donor re-cipient, said Anne Har-mon, Student Life and Leadership graduate assistant.

During Greek Week, members raise money to-ward Camp Titan, a cam-pus-sponsored philan-thropic summer program for underprivileged chil-dren in Orange County.

Many sororities and fra-ternities host events for students to create cam-pus-wide awareness for Camp Titan.

Academics are one of the main priorities in

the Greek community, according to the CSUF Greek Life website.

Students who are inter-ested in becoming a par-ticipant in Greek life are required to be enrolled full time and have a cu-mulative GPA of at least 2.5.

When students join, their academic goals and interests are support-ed by scholarship oppor-tunities, learning cen-ters, time management workshops and academic counselors.

However, the time it takes to become involved with a sorority or frater-nity may require some students to manage their time.

“I have to prioritize my time to do school, sorority and work,” McClure said.

Greek life can provide

a foundation to devel-op leadership skills and social interaction with peers and alumni during the college years and beyond.

McClure said she went into her sorority not knowing anyone, but met a lot of people over time.

“I have made my best friends in the sorority. We are still friends even after a lot of them have gradu-ated,” she said.

Although being in-volved in a sorority and fraternity can be benefi-cial to some students, a problem that has plagued many Greek organizations is hazing. Some hazing in-cidents include humiliat-ing and physically abusing students who are trying to join.

Last month, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity

made the decision to ban the pledge process for all chapters nation-wide to help stop hazing incidents.

Boris Alvarado, 23, a fifth-year graduating se-nior and member of Sig-ma Nu, said hazing has no purpose in Greek organizations.

Although Alvarado said he has not seen any haz-ing in his fraternity at CSUF, he knows it occurs in others.

“I’ve seen how other fra-ternities treat their pledg-es,” he said.

CSUF encourages mem-bers to fully comply with university policy and state laws regarding haz-ing. It will not be permit-ted within the universi-ty and its organizations, according to the CSUF Greek Life website.

Titans roll over opponents

Men’s golf heads to NCAA Regionals as No. 10 seed

After earning an auto-matic bid into the NCAA Regionals as the Big West Conference champions, the Cal State Fullerton men’s golf team will head to Illi-nois as the No. 10 seed in a 14-team field.

The Titans will compete in the regionals for the first time since the program was reinstated during the 2009-10 season. Although CSUF was co-champions with Pa-cific last season, the Tigers earned the regionals bid by winning on a playoff hole.

CSUF is one of six teams

to enter the regional with an automatic bid for win-ning its respective confer-ence. The other eight teams earned at-large berths.

Northern Illinois will host the regional and the 52-hole event will be held at the Rich Harvest Farm Country Club, a par 72 course that spans 7,151 yards.

The tournament begins Thursday, May 15 at 8 a.m. and will conclude Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 a.m.

UC Berkeley enters re-gional action as the top seed, followed by No. 2 Illi-nois, No. 3 USC, No. 4 Ala-bama-Birmingham, No. 5 UNLV, No. 6 Clemson, No. 7 Kent State, No. 8 Purdue, No. 9 Mississippi State, No. 11 New Mexico State, No. 12 Jacksonville State, No. 13 Cleveland State and No. 14 Saint Peter’s.

Mark Anguiano led the Titans to their second con-secutive conference cham-pionship. The Titans will need their veteran lead-er to continue Anguiano’s impressive senior year if they are to make it to the finals.

Anguiano leads the Big West with a 69.72 stroke average. His accomplish-ments include nine top-10 performances, two individ-ual medals and a tie for sec-ond place at the Big West championship with a score of 3-under 141.

The Titans will aim for a spot in the finals at Wichita State starting May 23. For the Titans to move on, they will have to earn a spot in the top five of the regional.

TAMEEM SERAJ &IAN O’BRIENDaily Titan

The Titans are part of a 14-team field fighting for the finals

The Cal State Fullerton roller hockey team topped off its undefeated 2013-2014 campaign with a na-tional championship af-ter defeating the Virginia Tech Hokies, 6-2, in Aston, Pennsylvania.

After a dis-a p p o i n t i n g finish for the Titans last season with a late-sea-son exit, they sought re-venge during their play-off push this time around.

“We weren’t going to lose,” senior defen-seman Jeff Brown said. “We came that far, we worked hard for two years and we just took it to them.”

After a 15-0-1 regu-lar season for the Titans during 2012-2013, they struggled in postseason play as their season end-ed in a dramatic double overtime loss to the even-tual champion Universi-ty of Colorado-Colorado Springs Mountain Lions.

“We lost last year to the eventual champions, and this year we want-ed to make sure we were

the best team,” senior for-ward Sam Brown said. “We worked really hard to make sure we weren’t just the No. 1 team on paper, we were actually No. 1.”

The Titans finished this year on a much higher note with a 16-0 regular season record, and 27-0 overall record after breez-ing through their 11 post-season matches.

For the year, CSUF only had nine games de-cided by two goals or less, and three of those games were decided by one goal. The Titans were often able to pull away from lesser oppo-nents with an attacking of-fense that av-eraged nearly seven goals per game.

In fact, p o s t s e a s o n play was more of a breeze than the regu-lar season for

Fullerton, who dominat-ed opponents through its seven games in five days. The toughest test came against Missouri State, who hung tight with CSUF late into the third period before an empty-net goal by junior Matthew Han put the game out of reach at 4-2.

After that scare, the Titans came out firing on the final day of ac-tion, blowing away Rut-gers and Virginia Tech by

scoring six goals against each en route to earning the championship crown. It wasn’t until the final buzzer sounded to signal victory for CSUF that the team was hit with a sense of comfort.

“It was such a big relief, the moment was almost surreal,” Brown said.

The team credits a ma-jority of its success to Head Coach Tyler Svobo-da, who molded the team from a contender last sea-son to the champions this year.

“Everyone has bought into what he taught us,” graduate student and Titan defensem-an Ryan Cruz said. “He

implemented a system for us to follow to really use our skill set.”

The key performers on offense for the Titans this year were Sam Brown, se-nior Matt Bockenstette and Han. Brown was the team leader with 46 goals and 30 assists, total-ing 76 points on the year. Bockenstette compiled 72 points with a 30 goal cam-paign to go with 42 as-sists, while Han finished with 64 points with 33 goals and 31 assists.

As strong as the offense was, the goalkeeper for Fullerton’s roller hock-ey team played a huge role in the championship run as well. Senior Nevin

Iwatsuru finished the year with an impressive 24-0 mark between the pipes, allowing 1.84 goals per game and contributing to four shutout victories.

With six seniors and two graduate students making up a large bulk of the 10-man roster, the team is hoping for an in-f lux of young talent from the team’s “B” roster.

If those players are able to step into larger roles next season, the team should be able to pick up where it left off this past year.

While the B team fin-ished with a 6-13 mark, they offer 10 players with at least one year of

eligibility to help replace some talent that the DII team lost. Those players will need to pick up their game if Fullerton is to re-main a national power in roller hockey.

With the help of an ex-perienced coach along with the few returning starters, Fullerton is hop-ing for continued success while building off of a na-tional title campaign.

Regardless of what hap-pens in the future, the 2013-2014 team will al-ways have the memories they created during its championship run.
