It was a score waiting to be settled.
After Mconsecutive losses to California,
the Fresno State Women's basketball team
turned the tables and disposed of the
Bears 69-54 Saturday in the South Gym
before a capacity city crowd of 815, a new
all-time attendance record for the South
Mldog Center Kellie Murphy was
seven of ten from the field and five of six
from the line, leading the FSU offensive
attack with 19 points.
"We were really psyched up for this
game," said Murphy. "They were really
cocky after beating us that last game and
were doing a lot of talking. As the coach
would say, 'We owed it to them,*" the 6*2
freshman continued.
Forwards Shannon McGee and Tami
Towle contributed to the Bulldog effort
with 18 and 17 points respectively. McGee
was seven of 12 from the field and four of
seven from the charity line while Towle
was seven of ten and three for three.
The Bulldogs retain their first place
berth in the Northern Pacific Conference
with a 5-1 record and boost their overall
record up to 15-3. The cagers only Nor¬
Pac loss came at the hands of the Bears
Jan. 11 when the Bulldogs dropped a 62-
57 decision.
The Bulldogs easily broke through the
Bears' tenacious full-court press, which
had been their downfall in the first
encounter. The Bears had been trailing by
five at the half in the first game and were
able to force 19 FSU turnovers by the end
of the second half.
Defensively, the Bulldogs were strong,
pulling down 51 team rebounds. McGee
was the rebound leader with 11 while
freshman Karen Wilson came off the
bench to grab ten.
The win was a must for the Bulldogs to
retain sole control of first place, as evident
by the intensity of play throughout the
"We tried to play as though they were
always close," said head coach Bob
Spencer. "We probably played one of the
best all-around games, both offensively
and defensively, that we've played in the
South Gym, beyond a doubt."
FSU led throughout the game, but the
Bears were able to stay within striking
distance for about the first seven minutes
of play, only two baskets separated the
two teams with 13:30 left in the first half,
with the score 12-8.
Towle then hit an inside jumper, was
fouled and turned it into a three-point
play, Bulldogs leading 15-8.
Cat's Heli Toika made two of her game
total three points-with 9:57 left in the first
half (22-14). Toika, a 6'4" forward/center,
who was almost paralyzed by Bulldog
defense, was never really a factor in the
^Technical foul was called on Cal h«ad
coach Gooch Foster after arguing a deci¬
sion made against Bear forward Jennifer
Bennett, with 9:38 left in the half. Murphy
sank two from the line for the foul and
Wendy Martell swished it for the techni¬
cal, 25-14. By the half, FSU racked up a
comfortable 42-25 lead.
Cal attempted to use its 6*8** tower
Charlotte Lusschen, who scored 15 of her
20 points int he second half but the Bull¬
dogs had already established a sizeable
gap, (69-44), leading by 25 points, the big¬
gest Fresno lead of the night, with 4:01 left
in the second half.
The Bulldogs did not score the re¬
mainder of the game as the starting lineup
was replaced by the reserves. Cal scored
ten points before time ran out and the
Bulldogs came out on top with a 69-54
The Bulldogs easily overtook San
Francisco's Lady Dons 72-55 in Friday's
encounter. Wendy Martell had the hot
hand, sinking seven of 14 from the floor
and two of two from the line to lead all
scorers with 15 points. McGee. and Towle
each contributed 14 points>»ith Wilson
adding nine. ... *■»
"We played harder the second half,"
said Spencer. "I felt that they came out of
half-time and got after them right from
the start. We were pleased with our play
throughout the second half, the difference
was that we moved the ball better."
FSU had gone into the locker room at
the half with a ten point lead, 34-24, but
outscored the Lady Dons 38-31 in the
The Bulldogs will host Pacific on Fit
day at 7:30 in the South Gym.
Bulldog defense beat Cal
A record crowd of 815 screaming fans
packed the South Gym Saturday night to
see the Lady Bulldogs hand the California
Bears their worst loss of this season.
The Bulldogs did it with a tenacious,
trapping-style defense to give coach Bob
Spencer his first victory in eight tries over
the Bears. It was only the second Fresno
State victory over California in the last ten
Fresno State's Shannon McGee played
an instrumental role in the Bulldog victory
as she continually broke a full-court press
employed by the Bears throughout most
of the game. But McGee also did what no
other Bulldog player has been able to do
in past seasons by shutting down Heli
Toikka, the Bear's main scoring threat.
Toikka, the 6-4 forward from Finland,
has been a menace to the Bulldogs in past
years, continually frustrating Spencer. Her
past 20-point performances against Fresno
State have always led the Bulldogs down
the losing path. Even though Toikka was
limited to seven points in her last
appearance against Fresno State, her
relentless defensive play forced the
Bulldogs into critical turnovers and an
eventual 62-57 loss.
Saturday night McGee served notice to
Toikka that she would no longer have her
way with Fresno State. The Cal forward
was never a factor in the game, scoring
just three points before she fouled out of
the contest midway through the second
half.
"She's a very physical player an
had to play that physical against her," said
McGee after the game. "She didn't do
anything right in the beginning and she
just never got untracked."
McGee was also the key player

Barnes was also the individual winner
in the discus with a 45.80-meter throw.
She is currently ranked 20th in the nation.
"I had hoped for a better mark in the
d^cus," Barnes said. "Forty-five eighty at
ihis time is all right, but it's not very good.
I want to qualify for nationals early in the
reason because there's more pressure later
Other  individual   \

FSU*s Cathy Willso'n in the javelin with a
47.28-meter tost and Marylou Merancio

breaking the Bear's full court press.
Stationing herself at the middle of tbe
court, near tbe half-court line,. McGee
waited for guards Wendy Martell and
Chris Wyci nowski to work tbe ball up to
her. With the ball in hand and two
defensive players blanketing her, McGee
had the option to dump tbe ball off to tbe
guards who were sliding into tbe forecourt
or to a teammate, who was open near
California's basket. The strategy worked
brilliantly, although Fresno State turned
tbe ball over 17 times. Most of the miseries
came early in the first half however, as the
Bulldogs were first adjusting to the press.
Tami Towle and Kellie Murphy also
played key roles defensively, helping
Fresno State to a 51-38 rebounding
advantage for the game. The two also
combined for 36 points and four blocked
shots.
Towle and Murphy's best defensive
moments came1 against the Bear's 6-8
center Charlotte Lusschen. Although
high scorer in the game with
20 points, the Cal center was frustrated for
most of the night by the sandwiching
defense of both Towle and Murphy.
Lusschen was 7-16 from the field and was
continually harassed for most of the
second half.
"We finally decided to drop off on the
wings, front her [Lusschen] with Towle
and play Murphy behind her,"explained
assistant coach Bill FenneUy after the
game. "The main thing we wanted was to
make her catch the ball outside of the lane
and shoot the ball outside the lane. Because
if she misses, we're in better rebounding
position. And she did miss a couple in a
row when they [Cal] were getting back
into the game and it helped us."
It seems almost a certainty that tbe
Bulldogs will make the Northern Pacific
Conference playoffs for the first time in
Spencer's four year tenure here at Fresno
State. Senior guard Chris Wycinowski,
who has never been on a playoff team in
her career at FSU, feels that this is the year
for the Bulldogs.
"I think this was the key game for us,"
said Wy ci no wski. "We've got tough games
against Washington and I think this is
really going to give us some momentum
and confidence in making the playoffs. I
think we're really going to do it this year."
