team's wins
Strong depth was the guiding force
behind the CSUF badminton team's
third conference-wliming undefeated
season this year.
Completing regular season play with
s 44 record, coach Ron Denver's squad
continued to dominate the NorCal. league
as in 1978, the Bulldogs took first place
honors with a 10-0 record, and with a
6=0 mark last year. This season's
perfect record was more than enough for
the conference crown as tto most wins
any other conference squad could muster
were two.
Atxording to Deaver, CSUF's domina¬
tion is.due mainly to its overall depth'
Other teams in tto league may have tto
strongest man or woman singles player,
yet lack strength in the rest of the team,
he said. This year, Fresno bad four
players fighting for the number one
men's single • spot throughout the
season. "The other teams don't have the
depth that we have,* to said.
Such depth wss evident in the team's
ability to qualify nine players out of'a
possible 11 spots in tto state meet last
weekend. Once there, Fresno finished
fourth out of 12. teams, but Deaver was
pleased with the placing.
UCLA took top honors with a runaway
63 points as Dominquez Hills came in a
distant second with 23 points. Long
Beach State narrowly edged out the
Bulldogs, for third with 14 points to
Fresno's 12.
Deaver ssid that the top three teams
are perhaps some of the best in Calif¬
ornia and the nation as tto Bruins are
ranked number two nationally.
A lack of a national ranking though did
not deter any of Deaver's players during
tto season ss names such ss Terri He—-
nandez, John Langs-mat, Kevin Peter¬
son and Sabrina Shaw continued to
appear in the winners' columns.
According to Deaver, Hernandez snd
Peterson will be lost due to graduation
next year. Yet the rest of the team is still
strong. Whenever a player leaves,
'people tend to take up tto slack pretty
well, * said Deaver.
