"The 2015 season was extremely exciting and I look forward to reliving the memories with our friends, families and supporters," head coach Demian Brown said. "More importantly, this is our final opportunity to celebrate the outstanding contributions of our phenomenal senior class."
Fullerton's senior class includes recent 15th overall pick of the National Women's Soccer League Draft by the Orlando Pride, Christina Burkenroad, Fullerton's first-ever National Soccer Coaches Association of America First Team All-American Rebecca Wilson, the program's first three-time NSCAA All-West Region selection Morgan Batcheller, and Serena Smith-Banas, a central defender on Fullerton's 2014 squad.
The 2015 Titans advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year as well as the seventh time in the program's history, and gained its tourney berth by winning its third-straight Big West Tournament title (sixth overall).
In addition, the Titans won a share of the 2015 Big West Conference regular season championship, marking the third time in the last four years (2012, 2014, 2015), the Titans earned the title as well as the program's eighth regular season championship overall.
Fullerton's record of 16-3-2 was its best since 2005, as the Titans opened the season with six consecutive wins – a new program record. In addition, Fullerton's 46 goals ranked fifth all-time in program history and were the most scored for the team since 2005. The Titans' 49 assists rated second in program history.
The Titans led the Big West Conference in goals (46), points (141), assists (49) and saves (101).
Wilson had a remarkable career at Cal State Fullerton that concluded with an even more extraordinary senior season in which she compiled a team- and Big West Conference-leading 19 goals, 10 assists and 48 total points. Her nearly 20 goals ranked her third in the NCAA as did her points total and points per game average as she was named a semifinalist for the 2015 MAC Hermann Trophy, one of the most coveted awards in college soccer.
The Placentia, Calif., native set a school record with 10 game-winning goals to lead the nation and finished the year nationally ranked in the top 50 in nine different categories.
Wilson was named Big West Conference Offensive Player of the Year for the second time in a row and garnered her second-straight Big West Conference First Team nod. She also set a new tournament record as well, notching three assists in the semifinal game against UC Santa Barbara.
Burkenroad, the Big West Conference Midfielder of the Year, scored 11 goals, three of which were game-winners, totaled 11 assists and 33 points. She set a pair of Big West Conference Tournament records after notching a hat trick in the semifinal contest and eventually helped the Titans to their third straight Big West Conference Tournament title en route to being named MVP of the tournament for the second straight year.
The San Diego, Calif., native led the conference in assists and posted a school-record seven game-winning helpers on the year. She concluded her collegiate career nationally ranked in the top 50 in assists per game (0.52), points per game (1.57), total assists (11) and total points (33).
Batcheller, the Big West Conference Defender of the Year, became the first player in program history named the all-Region team for three years with a third team nod in 2013, a second team honor in 2014 and a first team accolade in 2015. In addition, the Carlsbad, Calif., native joins Kellie Cox, Karen Bardsley and Kandace as Wilson as the only players in program history named to the Big West Conference First Team on three occasions. Her 78 career starts rank second all-time.
