PRESEASON PREDICTIONS
The Cal State Fullerton women's soccer team, which has won the Big West regular season or tournament championship for three consecutive years, was selected to finish third in the Big West Preseason Poll.
Cal Poly, the 2013 regular season champion, received three first-place votes in ballots among the Big West's nine head coaches for a total of 72 points. Long Beach State received one first-place vote of its own with 70 points while Cal State Fullerton, the 2014 regular season and Big West Tournament champion, collected 68 points for third place with three first-place nods.
Morgan Batcheller, Christina Burkenroad and Rebecca Wilson were picked for the 2015 Big West Preseason All-Conference Team.

TITANS WIN FOUR TITLES IN THREE YEARS
Cal State Fullerton claimed four Big West championships in three years after the Titans won the Big West regular season and tournament titles in 2014. Last year, the Titans clinched their fourth Big West tournament title in school history and earned the league's automatic NCAA postseason berth. In 2012, Fullerton won its sixth Big West regular season championship in school history. Cal Poly and Fullerton are now tied for a Big West leading seven regular season championships in program history. This season's title was Fullerton's fifth solo crown after sharing the top spot in 2004 and 2007, the program's sixth in the last 13 seasons, and the third second under Head Coach Demian Brown.

OLD HABITS DIE HARD
Fullerton has played just one overtime match in 2015 after totaling 19 during the last two season. Fullerton is 14-15-25  in extra time during Head Coach Demian Brown's eight seasons. 

A TRADITION UNLIKE ANY OTHER
When freshman Jessica Simonian stepped on the field for the first time vs. George Washington, she carried on a tradition of sorts in 2015 as her No. 2 jersey is the only number in the history of the Fullerton program to be worn every season since the program began in 1993.

2014 SEASON RECAP
• Cal State Fullerton, the 2014 Big West regular season and tournament champion, completed its 2014 season with a 5-2 loss at third-ranked Stanford in the first round of the 33rd NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship on Nov. 14. 
• Cal State Fullerton completed Big West Conference play undefeated (6-0-2) to win the 2014 Big West regular season championship and earn the league's No. 1 seed at the Big West Tournament. For the Titans, it was their second regular season title in three years (2012, 2014). At the Big West Tournament, held in San Luis Obispo, Calif., the Titans defeated CSUN, 1-0, in the semifinals and edged Long Beach State, 2-1, in the finals to claim back-to-back Big West Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament berths.
• The 2014 Titans were the first team since 2007 - also Cal State Fullerton - to win both the Big West regular season championship and the tournament title.
• Cal State Fullerton won its seventh Big West regular season championship (1996, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2012, 2014) on Nov. 2 after recording a 1-0 victory over Cal Poly at Titan Stadium. The Titans finished Big West play unbeaten with a record of 6-0-2. The only other Titan team to remain undefeated in league action was the 1996 squad (6-0-1).
