team against them. '
They're io good," says Overstreet of
the No. 3 ranked team in Japan that is
currently facing collegiate teams from
all over the country. "They're like
machines when they play, which makes
them just beautiful to watch.

got to the level that they've reached.
"Practice," says Overstreet. "They practice up to seven hours a day. We dont
put in half that time."   •
The reason the 'Dogs don't put in half
that time is because they're college
students, something that the Japanese
players dont have to concern themselves
with. The players are all employees of
the Ito-Yokado Company, and the
company allows the players more than
ample practice time. The result is that
the Japanese are quite good, and i nt imi-
"I would guess that we might be a
little intimidated Friday night, but I
don't think well be so scared that we
wont be able to do anything against
them," Overstreet said. "When you
think about it. there's no real pressure
on us. so well just give them our best
battle. Our worst fear is to not give them
a good match."
As Overstreet is willing to admit, the
Bulldogs have somewhere between little
and no chance of defeating a team of
such high cajiber. But the CSU F coach
does see Friday night's contest as a
chance to prove something.      	
"In our minds, we know that we have
the best team ever here at Fresno Slate,
despite what our record indicates." says
Overstreet. "It would definitely help us
to give them a good battle. It would
solidify to us that we are a Top30
caliber team."'
Now. the real question: Can the
Bulldogs actually defeat the Japanese
team?
"You never know in volleyball." says
Overstreet. "Anything could happen. If
we could just turn on..."
Just ask Leilani Overstreet. She
knows just how good this Japanese
