Timi Towle looks to pass during the Lady Bulldogs win over UOP Friday.
Lady hoopsters finish
record season with win
By Jack Bungart
Staff writer
For the record, the Fresno State women's
basketball team defeated the University of
Pacific, 75-55 al the South Cym Friday
night. But for an intense Bulldog squad,
there was a lot more to this story than a
20-point win. Consider:
•The win, the Bulldogs' 18th of the
season against 11 losses, allowed the best
team in the school's history to further
extend their record for most wins in a
single season at Fresno State. Has Build __>
Coach Bob Spencer turned around the
fortunes of women's basketball al Fresno
State? Just three seasons ago Ihe Bulldogs
finished with a 4-20 record.
• It was a sweet measure of revenge for
the Bulldogs, who had been eliminated
from the Northern Pacific Conference's
four-team postseason tournament by the
hated Tigers a week ago. Touche.
• Most importantly, Friday night provided seniors Karen Cooke and Careana
Clay with the kind of exit befitting the two
finest players in the program's history: a
victorious one.
Despite Ihe sizeable point difference in
the outcome, the Bulldogs had all the
trouble they could handle shaking the
pesky Tigers. For a while at least.
The two rivals continually cxhanged
leads, ties and floor burns before the
Bulldogs pulled away slightly for a 34-29
halftime advantage.
After the intermission, the Bulldogs,
not to mention an enthusiastic throng of
401, got carried away. After UOP's Joy
Dana sank a quick basket, the 'Dogs
ripped off an 18-7 run thai gave them a
52-39 lead with the clock down below 13
minutes.
The Tigers could never recover, and the
Bulldogs had notched their eighth con-
LONG BEACH — Before the 1983-84
college basketball season even started,
folks around Fresno were wistfully mentioning Fresno Stale and the NCAA
playoffs in the same breath.
Today, wilh the NCAAs just two weeks
off, their pre-season yearnings are starting
to become more of a reality.
After handing Long Beach Slate a 79-
58 loss Saturday afternoon, the Fresno State
basketball team pounded yet another
stake in the ground toward a claim to an
NCAA berth. All that remains now in the
Bulldogs' path is the PCAA Tournament
this weekend in The Forum in Los
Angeles.
"We got ourselves in a hole a while
back." said Fresno Slate Coach Boyd
Grant, after watching his Bulldogs win
their sixth straight. "And now we're
finally starting to climb out of it."
The win improved Fresno State's regular season-ending record to 22-7 overall
and 13-5 in Ihe PCAA. It also demonstrated why ihe Bulldogs are the team to
beal in the upcoming post-season PCAA
tourney.
"It just seems like the team has really
made a charge as of late," said Bulldog
forward Ron Anderson, who scored 12
points in Saturday's game. "We're cutting
down on turnovers, we're getting rebounds, and we're doing things like we
were taught."
If anybody has been getting A's in class
recently it's center Scott Barnes. Playing
his finest game of the season, Barnes
contributed a game-high 24 points, seven
rebounds, five assists and three blocked
shots in the Bulldogs' second win of the
season over the 49ers.
"I took what they gave me," said
Barnes, who broke the school record
Saturday for blocked shots in one season
with 45. "I'm fitting my role better — I'm
crashing the boards like I should."
Barnes' effort was backed up by a
strong performance on the part of Bernard Thompson who dished in 12 points
and Milch Arnold who found the nel for
12 points.
Long Beach State, which traded baskets with the Bulldogs for the opening ten

ference win against six losses. That mark
is good enough for fifth place, but Spencer
couldn't help but wonder what might have,
happened if ihe Bulldogs hadn't dropped
some costly losses to some weak teams..
"We've still got a long way to go. but
I've got to be happy with an 18-11 season,"
said the Fresno State coach. "There were
just too many times that we were up and
down. If we were on, we were on. But if we
were down, we were way down all year."
The record supports Spencer's observation. When the Bulldogs weren't beating
conference contenders like Oregon, Oregon
State and Washington State, they were
suffering fatal losses to conference pretenders like USF. Santa Clara and UOP.
The feeling that the season could have
been even more impressive was running
rampant at the South Gym
"We should be in the playoffs," said
Clay. "We lost lo some teams we shouldn't
have, and that bugs me."
"We were inconsistent this year." said
Spencer. "Bui we know what were capable
of now, and well look better next year."
, Next year for the Bulldogs means the
absence of Cooke, the captain who owns
eight different school records, and Clay,
who owns 10 different school marks at last
count, including highs in free throws, field
goals and rebounds.
"It's a little sad," remarked Clay, who
closed out her brilliant career in typically
productive fashion with 16 points. "But 1
am looking forward to the rest."
Cooke, steady as ever despite a total of
only two points in her final appearance,
felt the same way. "It'll take a couple of
weeks to sink in." she said. "But it'll hit."
With all the talk of personal records
and most team wins, it was Clay who
managed to put things in thier proper
perspective.
"The records were important to me."
said Clay. But it was the friendships I've
made here that are more important.
"Records are just paper."

Softball team loses 3 of 4 to Bears, Titans
By G .org• Loawsn
Contributing writer
The Fresno State softball team needs to
win both games tomorrow against Cal
Poly, San Luis Obispo to get back on the
winning track after dropping three out of
four games this past weekend to California and Fullerton State.
Barbara Cambria no-hit Cal 3-0 in the
first game Saturday, but the Bulldogs lost
to the Golden Bears in the second game,
1-0, and to Fullerton State Sunday by
identical 1-0 scores in the double header.
Cambria and Lori Romeiro took the
losses, although both pitched well.
Cambria. 4-3, allowed the number one-
ranked and powerful-hitting Titans five
hits in the first game yesterday. She had a
no-hitter going into the fourth inning as
Fullerton was threatening to score. With
two outs, pitcher Sue Lefebvre doubled
and Stephanie Tanaka went in to run for
her. She might have scored if it wasn't for
right fielder Kerry Steitz. Sue Lewis hit
what looked like a sure RBI wingle to
right but Steitz threw her out at first to
end the threat and the inning.
The 'Dogs threatened in the third when
Judy Tucker drew a one-out walk and
moved to second on a Steitz sacrifice. But
Nusheen Zarnegar flew out to center field
to end the inning. 	
Fullerton State broke through in the
fifth inning for the only run of the game.
JoAnn Ferried led off with a single and
Jan Pierini sacrificed her to second.
Maridee Richards drove Ferrieri home
with a double over Steitz' head in right
field. Steitz doubled Richards off second
to end the inning and any further scoring.
Fresno Slate made another threat in the
bottom of the fifth. Alyce Rodriguez led
off the inning with a single. Rodriguez,
who earlier received a blow to the wrist,
collided with the second baseman, who
was moving to cover first on a rotation
play. With one out, Judy Tucker singled
to right, but Karen Spurlpck, running for
Rod riguez, was thrown out going to third.
Both teams made mild threats in the
final two innings but could not score.
The Bulldogs threatened to score first in
the second game. Steitz led off the first
inning with a single and was sacrificed to
second. Bev Boeck's single moved her to
third with one out. However, they both
. stopped there when Rene Polanco and
Chris Elze grounded out.
Fullerton State threatened in the second with two outs. Debbie Mygind and
Tammy Mckinney singled but Romeiro
picked off Mygind at second to end the
inning.
Fresno Slate had scoring opportunities
in the third and fourth innings but base-
running errors took them away. In the
fifth inning the Titans struck again.
Lisa Noriega -singled, moved to second
on a sacrifice/and later moved to third.
Following a"strike-out. Noriega scored on
a wild pitch. Fullerton State put runners
on first and second with a walk and a
single, but a fly out ended the inning.
In the seventh, Romeiro threw out
Mygind at first but Fullerton State put
runners on second and third following a
walk and an error. Cambria came in to get
the last two batters to ground out.
Cindy Johnson singled in tbe bottom of
the seventh, but the Bulldogs could not get
her across.
"I was more disappointed yesterday,
losing 1-0 to Cal, than today," Coach

Live dance music at its finest
time, that spelled the endfor tbe 49ers. By
halftime the Bulldogs were up 34-29, and
within the first five minutes of the second
half, they were up 45-32.
With second place UC-Irvine. 72-69
win over Fullerton State Saturday night,
the Bulldogs ended the season in third
place in the PCA A. Here's a quick glance
at how Fresno State's post season schedule now shapes up:
•Thursday, the Bulldogs will take on
Fullerton State in the opening round of
the PCAA Tournament at 9:00 p.m. This
is the only team in the PCAA to hold a
cumulative points over Fresno State.
Fullerton State won the first meeting, 63-57, in Irvine and the Bulldogs won
the second game, 65-56. in Fresno.
• If the Bulldogs do manage to get by
Fullerton, they will have a revenge-minded UNLV team to contend with in the
semi-finals Friday night. Fresno State
blew out the Rebels the last time they met,
68-43 in Fresno. Since that time UNLV
has stumbled to one narrow win and two
losses.
•Another if. If a win over UNLV
becomes a reality, the Bulldogs will
advance to the finals on Saturday and
most likely face UC-Irvine. which has
beaten UNLV and Fullerton' State in
succession during the past week.
• Even if the Bulldogs do not win the
tournament, an invitation to the NCCA
playoffs is still a possibility. The Bulldogs*
22-7 season record is currently the fourth
best on the west coast, with UNLV (25-4),
Washington (20-6). and Oregon State (20-
6) holding down the top spots. All told;
very few people in Fresno want Fresno
State to win another NIT chamionship.

minutes of the game, at one time held
leads of 12-11 and 14-13. That, however,
was before Barnes and the Bulldogs took
off on a brief scoring spree that left the
49ers waving their arms in futility.
With 11:30 left in the first half, Barnes
ferociously followed up a Ron Anderson
jump shot with a dunk to pull the Bulldogs
up 15-14. After a basket by 49er Craig
Lack, Fresno State reeled off nine consecutive points in the next six minutes of
play to jump out to a 28-18 lead. Undaunted. Long Beach then set off some
firecrackers with nine consecutive points
of its own to pull within one point at
29-28.
But in the end it was Long Beach State's
inability lo keep up with one of Fresno
State's finest passing games in quite some
