Titan Women in the Big West Championships
Fullerton hopes this is the year it makes its resurgence to the top of the Big West Conference, as the Titan women haven't secured a top-four finish since the 2010 season, as Fullerton finished ninth in 2013, sixth in the 2012 and eighth in 2011. However, from 2006-10, the Titans never finished any lower than fifth place…Cal State Fullerton's best placing all-time came in 2006 where the Titans finished fourth and recorded a school record 107 points. Cal State Northridge was also the host school that season….Fullerton has placed fourth on three separate occasions (2006, 2009, 2010).
