FSU shows maturity

It was a frustrating night for the
16th ranked Fresno State women's
volleyball team and head coach
Liny Vivas.
Three nights after playing one
of its worst matches of the season,
the Bulldogs(9-5,19-9) came up
with one of their best efforts of the
season. An effort deserving NCAA
tournament consideration.
Unfortunately, it came against
the third ranked team in the na¬
tion, the University of the Pacific
Tigers.
UOP had to be ready and they
were. The Tigers withstood chal¬
lenges in the first two games by
the Bulldogs <o post an anything
but easy, 15-10,15-11,15-5 victory
over- the Dogs in a Big West Con¬
ference matchup in Stockton Tues¬
day night.
The match lasted an hour and 45
minutes, snapping a three match
road winning streak for the Bull¬
dogs. It was the first of a six match
road trip for the Bulldogs who
close out the season on the road.
With the victory; the Tigers
improved to 12-2in theconference
and 17-3 overall and stayed in the
hunt for the conference title.
Freshman Paola Paz-Soldan had
16 kills for the Bulldogs, eclipsing

But when thinking about the.

was the best in Bulldog history.
The 'Dogs rolled to a 10-0 record

highlighted by awiramatic 31-30

a 1-10 New Mexicoiteam.
Granted, despite losing
close games td Florida and
Texas Tech earlier in the
year, the Lobos were a
beatable team. But UNM

pounded 68-21 (Com¬

too bad) by the Bulldogs. "
