No one will question Young's
skills when the time comes to
display them, especially his
crossover move that leaves de¬
fenders in the dust. The Golden
State Warriors' Tim Hardaway
has a similar one, but there's a
difference between the two.
"He (Hardaway) goes be¬
tween the legs with his dribble,
and I give my defender a stutter-
step move," said Young, mod¬
estly. "But my move is quicker.
Tim's my idol, and he's helped
me a lot with my game." *
According to the Bulldogs
soon-to-be superstar, all the
crossover dribbles and moves to
the hoojwnean nothing if the
team doesn't play well together.
"We're a very talented team,
but we have to gel together to
become a championship-caliber
squad," Young continued. "And
if things aren't going well, I'll
pat them on the back and take
the load off their shoulders as
much as possible. We have to
keep our fists tight, so no one
points a finger at anyone else.
I'll shoulder the load in any way
I can."
With the first exhibition game
just days away, Young's Bull¬
dog career is about to begin.
Expectations are high for the
team, which has got to be the
most talked-^bout basketball
squad that hasn't even played
yet in Bulldog history. The same
goes for Young.    ,
"He has the possibility to
break a lot of records here," said
Fisher. "When he's done,
Dominick could be the best point
guard to ever play for Fresno
State."
"I always think I'm un-stop-
pable on the floor," Young said.
"When I adapted that mental¬
ity, I knew no one could stop me
but myself."
Only time will tell if the Bull¬
dog record books need to be taken
off tfje shelves to place Young's
name among the school's best
But don't be surprised if that does
indeed happen.

Records fall in Doj
victory over Hornets
By Chad Holcomb
If you were to walk across
the battle field (the Hornet
Gymnasium up at CS Sacra¬
mento) today, you might be
able to find a large amount of,
indentations between the lines*
of the volleyball court. You
wouldn't be surprised of the
sign hanging outside the gym
reading "Gym Under Re¬
pairs."
The only explanation; the
fact that the Fresno State Bull¬
dog volleyball team faced off
In another hearty battle with
the Hornets of Cal State Sacra¬
mento (15-10).
The two teams had met once
before at Fresno's Dan Gamel
Invitational in early Septem¬
ber with the 'Dogs winning'
the title ina grueling five-game
match with the Hornets. The
match-up Tuesday night was
built up to be possibly another
battle 'til the end, and an on¬
slaught of spikes coining too
fast for anyone to even dream
about stepping in front of.
The Bulldogs (17-9, 6-5 in
WAC) started their three-
match week with an impres¬
sive and punishing victory in
four games, 8-15,1541,15-13,
15-8. . \
Who was the destructive
force that caused so much in¬
fliction on Hornet Gymna¬
sium? Lefs just say, the entire
Bulldog team.
In front of 360 fans, Fresno
State was the grand conductor
of a barrage of hits that the
Hornets just could not handle.
Leading the way for the T)ogs
LTuesday night was senior
1 middle blocker Roseanne
Brown who had a career-high
30-kHl night, and a hitting per¬
centage of .377. Brown's 30
kills was thamost by any Bull¬
dog since 1991.
"One.tiling you don't see is
middle blockers with 30 kills,"
said Head FSU coach Lindy
Vivas. "Thefactthatw<ecoOld
getherthKbaflthatmanytimes
is incredible.'7
There is no way you can
overtook the rest of the team's
effort, considering there were
four other Bulldogs who had
double figures in kills: junior
middle blocker Tera Booker
(13), Sophomore outside hit¬
ter Trida Tuley (11), freshman
outside hitter Diana
Nalbandian (11), and sopho¬
more outside hitter Amy Cheli
(10) ail contributed to the
team'soverafl.219hittingper-
centage.
' The other member of the
30-30 club (Brown with her 30
kills) on tine night was Tuley,
who set a career-high mark
with her 30 digs. Brown and
Nalbandian added 19 and 18
digs,respectively.Justamrther
factor in the Ttogs total team
effort was that there were
seven players with double Jfig-
uresindigs. This led to setting
a new school record of 121
digs in. a match, removing the
previous mark of 115 set in
1988 against CalPoly San Luis
Obispo.
The Ttogs, coming off a
sweep of UTEl* test .Friday
night here at home, went into
Sacramento to continue their
prowl in the WAC. The Ttogfe
began their repeat kind of
slowly, falling down early in
gaine one 12-2, but battled
back to get within five of the
Hornets. Sacramento was too
much, though, and took game
one from the Bulldogs.
Gam^two saw ESU start
strong with a 10-1 lead, pretty
much handling the Hornets in
this one, to hold onin the end
15-11. The toughest game of
the night was game three in
which no team had real con¬
trol of the game. Going back
and forth, the Bulldogs came
out in the end die victor. A
match of longand exciting ral¬
lies ended after game four,
which saw F$U pull away
from the Hornets.

Wrestlers, from Page 6
it was becoming increasingly
harder for him to maintain his
weight at 126, and admits he
has lost as much as eight-and-a-
half pounds the day of a meet.
Nick's^lder brother, DeWayne
Zinkin, is currently wrestling in
the 134-pound class, and has
achieved WAC champion hon¬
ors in his weight. "I think once.
DeWayne graduates at the end
of this season, I'll be ready to
move up in weight, but for now
I'm staying in the 126-pound
class," said Nick.
The 'Dogs, according^) Nick,
will have some tough matches
this year. "First we have Or¬
egon State, then Nebraska. Both
these teams are top-ranked
teams in the country. If we can
stay healthly and keep every¬
one on the mat this year, we
could be one of the top 'six or
seven teams in the country."
Teammate Darin Preisendorf
also thinks the team has a chance
to get a top national ranking and
said, "everyone has to work hard
on the mat and in the weight room
to have the mentality to win."
And if anyone knows any¬
thing about toughness it would
be Preisendorf. As a sophomore
he backs up senior Demetrius
Edwards at nose guard for the
Fresno State football team and
was the WAC champion as a
heavyweight. Although he
didn't wrestle in the intrasqaud
sepmmage due to football prac¬
tice, he does work out.with the
team every Monday and will join
, the team full-time following the
San Diego State football game.
If you didn't get a chance to
see the Ttogs in action Tuesday
night, they'll be badk at home
Dec. 3 and ready to tangle with
top-ranked Oregon State.
