FULLERTON, Calif. – Former Titan forward Ann Marie Tangorra scored two second-half goals for the Alumni as the exhibition with the current Cal State Fullerton women's soccer team ended in a 2-2 tie at Titan Stadium on Friday night.

Just three minutes later, the Arcadia, Calif., native pushed a shot to the far post past Titan goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart as Claudia Munoz provided the assist, tying the game at 2-2.
Cal State Fullerton sophomore Ivy Diego scored the first goal of the match, cranking an 18-yard shot to the right post as the Titans took a 1-0 lead in the first half. With 10 minutes remaining until the break, freshman Tala Haddad found freshman Connie Caliz wide open in the penalty box as the rookie slotted a header into the back of the net and doubled CSF's lead to 2-0.
Twenty-nine former Titan greats returned to Titan Stadium on Friday night, spanning the 22-year history (1993-2014) of the program, including all-time leading goal scorer Dolores Browning Smith (1995-98) as well 2013 Big West Midfielder of the Year Erica Mazeau and 2013 Big West Goalkeeper of the Year Lindsey Maricic.
The Titans return to action on Sunday with a 6 p.m. kickoff at league-leading CSUN (7-7-1, 4-0-0). The Titans are currently sixth in the Big West standings with five regular season games remaining.
