Orange County College Roundup : Titan Men Win Fifth Soccer Match in a Row

Cal State Fullerton won its fifth consecutive men’s soccer game with a 3-0 victory over Texas Christian Saturday at Fort Worth, Tex.

The Titans (5-2) took a 1-0 first-half lead on an unassisted goal by freshman Eamon Kavanagh and got second-half goals from senior Ben Macaluso, assisted by junior Joe Baeskens, and senior Gary McKimmey, assisted by freshman Steve Crevoiserat.
