Fullerton, Calif. – Fullerton will host Big West 2018 Champions, Hawai'i, this Tuesday at 1:30pm P.T. in a rematch of last year's Big West Championship Finals.
After a weekend marked by the rain causing Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State to reschedule their dual, the Titans will be back on the courts this Tuesday, March 5th at 1:30pm P.T. for their second conference play of the season.
THE TITANS
Cal State Fullerton (4-2) was finally able to start a winning streak last week after blanking Azusa Pacific 7-0 at home to make it two wins in a row.
Before Azusa Pacific, the Titans picked up a 5-1 win for their conference opener against UC Davis.
The Titans own a 1-0 record in Big West Conference play as the dual against UC Davis was their one and only conference dual played so far.
The Titans look good at home as they dropped only one match to San Diego State University, and won three matches, against UC San Diego, UC Davis and Azusa Pacific.
Jadie Acidera is still undefeated in dual matches as she is 5-0 at position No.6.
Karla Portalatin is on a 3-win streak and is undefeated at No.2 with two wins and no loss.
