Hunter Suspended From Titan Basketball Team

Sophomore guard Kandace Hunter has been suspended indefinitely from the Cal State Fullerton women’s basketball team, Coach Barbara Ehardt said Wednesday.

“This is a big blow to our basketball team,” Ehardt said. “It just came down to a difference of opinion, and we are very sorry that it came to this. We hope this situation can work itself out in a positive way for both sides.”

Hunter, who played at Moreno Valley High, leads the Titans in scoring with an average of 11.9 points.

Fullerton (0-8) plays at San Jose State tonight.

* Lisa Faulkner, a 5-5 guard at Oregon City High, and Katie Sturgeon, a 6-2 center from Mountain Top (Pa.) Crestwood High have signed to play at UC Irvine, Coach Mark Adams has announced.
