In the third meeting between the two conference rivals this season, Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer lost to the UC Irvine Anteaters, 2-0, ending their season in the opening round of the Big West Championship. After a scoreless 90 minutes at Titan Stadium, UCI’s offense finally broke through CSUF’s backline on two set pieces during the overtime period. In the 94th minute, Anteaters forward Suus de Bakker converted a corner kick thanks to an assist from midfielder Amber Huff, who applied pressure on Titans’ defense for a majority of the game. After a short intermission in between
the 10-minute overtime periods, UCI put the final nail in the coffin when midfielder Destinee Manzo converted a corner kick and was assisted by Huff in the 102nd minute. “I want to give a lot of credit to UC Irvine for playing a really good match tonight. They presented a lot of trouble, a lot of problems for us early,” CSUF head coach Demian Brown said after the game. “The second half was a little bit different but they just outlasted us throughout the match.” The Titans' best chance to score came in the 65th minute when a yellow card was issued to Anteaters defender Maddy Chavez after she collided with midfielder Karla Rodriguez in the box in the 65th. Titans midfielder Kaya Hawkinson stepped up to take the penalty and her shot was saved from 18-yards out. Physicality was on full display
during the win-or-go-home matchup, with both teams combining 16 fouls and six yellow cards, in addition to some questionable calls and no-calls on some physical plays throughout the game. In the 74th minute, Ranson had back-to-back saves to keep the game scoreless. After the match, Brown spoke highly of his departing seniors that played their last collegiate game on Sunday night. “I want to give a lot of credit to our seniors, who played in their final game here today. I love them to death and I thank them for their service,” Brown said. “It’s on a sad note but I’m really happy with what the seniors were able to do for us.” UCI will move on to play the No. 2 seed UC Davis in the Big West Semifinals Thursday at 4 p.m.
Cal State Fullerton ended its student teaching program with the Placentia-Yorba Linda School District last week in light of the recent ban of critical race theory from its classrooms. The theory is largely organized around an intellectual framework of legal analysis that operates on the idea that race is a social construct. It claims racist ideologies play a critical role in social and political institutions, disproportionately affecting minorities. Within the College of Education, the Single Subject Credential Program places students in local public schools to complete fieldwork. Within this program, the university partners with local school districts, including the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District. Alison Dover, a CSUF professor in the department of Secondary Education, supported this decision. Dover spoke about her concern over the decision. “This was a case of preemptively introducing a resolution that was designed really to polarize a community and to silence conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion wherever they might arise in the district,” Dover said. In April, trustees from the school district voted to ban critical race theory from their teachings. With this decision, Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified
School District became the first Orange County school board to ban the framework. In a letter addressed to the school district board trustees in January, President Framroze Virjee wrote, “I write to discourage you from passing a ban on Critical Race Theory or any limits on teaching diversity, equity and inclusion in our classrooms and communities.” Nicholas Henning, a professor of Secondary Education at CSUF, had trained five of the six student-teacher candidates in the district. He also supported the university’s decision. “If there are things that we feel are harmful to students and we think that they don’t match up with what we know about what’s important in teaching,” Henning said. “Why would we send students to a place where they’re not going to get the examples that they need and the support that they need in order to teach all students well?” The College of Education’s leaders released a statement about the assignment of student teachers earlier this month. “The placement of student teachers in Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD), at this time, would place us in conflict with our goals to prepare teacher candidates with pedagogical approaches rooted in diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, race, and gender theories, cultural-linguistic studies, social-emotional well-being, and tenets of Critical Race Theory,” the statement said.
