ABOUT LAST WEEKEND
It wasn't the weekend Fullerton was looking for last time out, as the Titans went 0-3 at the Rebel Challenge in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, the 0-3 record doesn't tell the entire story. The Titans began tournament play dropping a heartbreaking 3-2 match vs. Eastern Kentucky. Fullerton battled back to win sets three and four 25-19 and 25-20 respectively after dropping the first two sets. Unfortunately the Titans couldn't quite finish the deal, falling in the fifth set 15-13. The Titans then suffered sweeps against UNLV and Fordham. However, that doesn't tell the entire story, as Fullerton came within five points or less in five of the six sets and within three points or less in three of the six sets.

BENCH MARK STILL WITHIN REACH
The Titans currently sit at 6-4 heading into their final weekend of non-conference action. Fullerton needs just one non-conference victory to clinch its first non-conference winning record since 2013.

SWEET, SWEET SWEEPS
All six victories this season have come in three sets via the sweep. The six straight sweeps during the Titans' six-match win streak was the most since Fullerton earned seven consecutive sweeps during its Big West Championship season in 2010.

RIGHT WHERE SHE LEFT OFF
Madeline Schneider is doing Madeline Schneider type things to begin the season. She leads the Titans in total points with 142.5, kills with 134 and kills per set with 4.06. The 2017 Big West Honorable Mention has led Fullerton in kills in nine of 10 contests, including posting 20 kills in the season opener vs. Akron. Her 4.06 kills per set ranks sixth best in the Big West and her 113 kills are also sixth best.

SUPER SAVAHNA
Savahna Costello enters her sophomore season with high expectations after producing a stellar freshman campaign for the Titans. She's off to a fantastic start, locking down the libero position for Fullerton. Her 104 digs through 10 matches rank 13th in the Big West, while her 3.06 digs per set rank 14th in the league.

A STAR IN THE MAKING
Felicia Marshall notched her first double-double of her young career, recording 11 kills and 11 digs on Aug. 25th vs. Montana. She leads the Titans with two total double-doubles on the season. She ranks 24th in the league with 2.41 digs per set and ranks eighth in kills per set (3.07).

FEZZEY TURNING IT UP
Tyler Fezzey is off to a great start so far this season, as she ranked second in the squad in total points with 115.5. She ranks 14th in the league in total kills with 88 and 17th in kills per set (2.59). She's tied for eighth in the league in total blocks with 29 and fourth in solo blocks with four.

TITANS CLEANING UP THE ALL-TOURNAMENT HONORS
Madeline Schnieder, Felicia Marshall and Neena Dimas all earned spots on the Terrier Invitational last weekend after their superb performances two weekends ago. Haley Carmo earned a spot on the Rebel Challenge All-Tournament Team after her superb defensive weekend. Schnieder has made two all-tournament teams so far this season.

TRENDING UP
Fourth year head coach Ashley Preston returns to helm of the Titan volleyball program with some positive momentum heading into the season. She's already notched her career-high in wins with six, just 10 matches into the season.
