The Titans defeated the Biola Eagles 12-7 Sunday afternoon to claim their 2nd straight SLC Division 2 Championship. Heading into the SLC tournament with a perfect 7-0 record, the team continued their dominance on the field with a 13-8 victory over Concordia University on Saturday afternoon. 

After trading scoring runs throughout the game, the Titans were able to gut their way to victory, led by the remarkable defense played by the whole team. Coach Morrison got a nice gatorade bath at the end before the Titans rushed the field at the final horn to congratulate freshman goalie Justin Kappeler.

Cal State Fullerton will continue to pursue their 8 game Division 2 winning streak against #4 seed Grand Valley State in Denver, Colorado at the MCLA National Championships. That game will be played at Dick's Sporting Goods Park at 10am on Tuesday, May 11. ]]></description>

The  Titans defeated the Occidental Tigers tonight to capture their first ever perfect record in conference, finishing 7-0. The Titans started off sloppy in the 1st quarter, but managed to get the act together and rattle off 9 goals in the first. The offense was lead by captain Michael Ansel who recorded 10 goals and 3 assists.

Cal State Fullerton will again be the #1 seed heading into next week's SLC Tournament. The next opponent has yet to be determined, with a probable 3-way tie for 2nd place when all is said and done.

The Titans cruised to a 15-3 victory Friday night against a much anticipated SLC conference game against Concordia. Both teams were fired up to play, but the Titans came out of the 1st quarter up 7-0. The next 2 quarters were pretty even for both teams. The 4th quarter was all Titans, who outscored the Eagles 6-0. Thank you to all the fans who showed up and supported Cal State Fullerton. ]]></description>

            <title>Titans Win SLC DII Championship!</title>
            <link>http://www.csuflacrosse.com</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Daily Titan, Tuesday, April 28, 2009
By Mike Montembeau

The Cal State Fullerton lacrosse club captured its first Southwestern Lacrosse Conference championship in style by defeating rival Long Beach State, earning them a spot in the Division II Men's Collegiate Lacrosse National Championship Tournament in Denver, Colo.

"We pulled through like we have been doing all year," Jordan Michaels, defenseman, said. "We came together as a team."

This was the second meeting in which CSUF defeated their arch rival 49ers, with this one obviously being the biggest.

"There is no one out there that we would rather beat," Chasen Cameron, attackman, said. "There was a lot of trash talk out there and beating them is the ultimate trash talk."

Less then 12 hours after defeating UC Irvine in the SLC semifinals at Titan Stadium, the Titans were ready to roll at Islander Stadium in Coronado.

"This is what we talked about all year," Kyle Smith, midfielder, said.
With a SLC championship and a trip to the national championship on the line, both teams came out hard.

"Long Beach came out fired up," Rick Martinez, long-stick midfielder, said. "We wanted to not let them think they were in the game."

CSUF attackman Jimmy Lin registered the first goal of the game as the Titans were able to get the early lead, but the scrappy 49ers were able to claw their way back and finish the first quarter tied 2-2.

"We had such confidence in ourselves we never thought we would lose," Cameron said.
The Titans regrouped in the second quarter with a balanced attack from attackmen Mike Ansel and Lin taking a 5-3 lead into the half.

"I think their first goal woke us and we started rolling from there," midfielder Jesse Luchansky said.

In the third quarter the Titans put away any thoughts of a 49er comeback as they scored two quick goals, taking a 7-5 lead into the final quarter.

"We knew it was only a matter of time before we would be holding the trophy," Martinez said.

Long Beach scored two goals in the final minute, but the Titans were able to secure the victory and the SLC conference championship 10-7.

"I was just looking at the scoreboard like, 'wow, we are really going to Denver. We really did it. This is amazing,'" Michaels said.

The Titans showered the coaching staff with water and stormed the field to claim their first conference championship.

"When the final whistle blew it was like a huge weight had been lifted off our shoulders," Luchansky said. "We won it."

CSUF took advantage of every opportunity and performed dominantly throughout the regular season playing a tough national schedule beating some top ranked teams and tearing through their conference en route to a 13-3 record.

"We are heading to the national championship which has been our goal all year," Michaels said.

The successful season the Titans worked hard all year for paid off as they will now be heading to the MCLA National Championship in Denver.

"Now, we're looking at our main goal of winning a national championship," Luchansky said.

The Titans have two weeks to prepare until they will take on eleven of the other top teams in the nation.

"Now we're going to get ready to rock-and-roll in Denver," Luchansky said.

CSUF earned the right to play in the SLC championship by holding the No. 1 seed heading into the SLC Division II final four, earning the rights to take on the No. 4 seed UC Irvine at Titan Stadium Saturday night.

"We just really get really pumped up playing at the stadium," Cameron said.

And the team responded well to the home crowd, crushing the Anteaters 16-6.

Lin finished with six goals and two assists, Ansel finished with five goals and one assist, while Luchansky added three goals and one assist to lead the Titans. ]]></description>
