Bulldogs look ugly in loss to SLO
<*- :.ByJohn Welsh
COLLEGIAN STORTSSTAFF
Despite some face-painted foursome's enthusiastic display. Cal Poly-San
Luis Obispo dropped the Fresno State volleyball team In straight games. 15-13.
15.5 and 15-8 before a North Gyra crowd of 405. **
Prior to the match, four men illustrated their spirit toward the Fresno State
women's volleyball team, walking into the North Gym with volleyball halves
■upon their heads. ~,
In contrast to the volleyball heads. Fresno State made Cal Poly-SLO (10-15)
look terrific In the two schools' non conference match the Bulldogs' first home
contest since Oct 2.
Bulldog sophomore outside hitter Andrea Radmllovlch blamed herself for
the loss that dropped Fresno State to 9-12 on the season.
"I made (Cal Poly-SLO) look wonderful. If there was a block\l hit Into it" said
Radmllovlch. who was held to a season-low five kills on the night.
Radmllovlch made 13 of FSU's 29 hitting errors and three ofthe BuDdogs' 16
service errors.
"I was really nervous out there," said Radmllovlch. "Usually I'm relaxed. I
was so excited before this match. I was so ready for IL Then I started hitting
Into'the block and that Just killed me. Ninety-nine percent of the time I can
come out of a slump. 1 guess this is one ofthose times that I couldn't. "
Fresno State head coach Leilanl Overstreet agreed withl^admllovach.
"Andrea's biggest fault against Cal Poly-SLO was playing too aggressive
where she shouldhave used a bit more common sense," Overstreet said.
In the deciding game. Cal Poly-SLO's Christy Dominic recorded back-to-back
service aces in front of a diving Jill Princeton that produced a 10-4 Mustang
Down by a 12-4 deficit. FSU rallied for three straight points. However, the
Mustangs scored their 13th point of the game when Jennifer Jeffrey and Lael
Perlstrom blocked a Suzle Regul kill attempt. Jeffrey followed up with a service
ace to set up match point
The Mustangs then won the match the way they had been winning points all
night - with a Fresno State error. Bulldog sophomore middle blocker Amity
Quist hit the ball Into the net and the Mustangs recorded the sweep, the eighth
time for FSU.
In game one. the match's closest. Fresno State struggled with Itself,
rommittlng eight hitting errors and seven service errors. FSU led 6-5 before
the Mustangs went on a 7-1 spurt.
Trailing game one by a 12-7 count, the Bulldogs outscored Cal Poly-SLO 6-2 to
edge within a point
However. Mustang middle blocker Jill Myers slammed a kill down for
Mdeoui. Immediately afterward. Myers aced her serve as Bulldog Jill Princeton
couldn't quite dig It out. Things went downhill from there.
1 he Mustangs rolled to a 4-0 start in game two. Leading 4-2. Cal Poly-SLO
racked up six straight points all of which came off of Fresno State hitting or
ball handling errors.
"At least you don't give up a point when you make a service error." said
Overstreet "But when you are hitting into a block or let balls drop among three
people, that will hurt you."
The Dogs committed 10 hitting errors and five service errors in game two as
Cal Poly-SLO rolled to a 15-5 romp.

Bulldog football: What's the deal?
Stronger defense and passing game needed to get back on track-
By Darrin Jones \
COLLEGIAN SPORTS WRITER
For most observers, the Fresno State
football team has looked out of wack in its last
two games. m
The Bulldogs, after winning the first five
games ofthe season and gaining the 24th spot
in the AP poll, look more like a team that
should be getting ready to visit the toilet bowl
than play In the California Raisin Bowl.
During the last two weeks. FSU was
mutilated on the road 73-18 to a Northern
Illinois team that was 1 -3 going Into the game
(including a loss to lowly Northwestern). And
the "Dogs tied Big West Conference doormat
Utah State.24-24 at home, ending a string of 20-
straight victories at Bulldog Stadium.
Actually, the dog days for Fresno State
began last year In the now Infamous regular-
season finale against New lvlexaco. AD the
Lobos did was outplay .and exploit the Bulldogs
offensively and defensively in 45-22 rout
The game was a perfect example of what
happens when an opponent runs the ball
against FSU and what happens when the '
Bulldogs don't execute or play with intensity.
The Lobos outgained the Dogs 415-406 in
total offense^ That In itself doesnt tell the
story. Fresno State gave up five turnovers to
New Mexico's none. Also, the Bulldogs
commixed 12 penalties In the debacle and
looked like a team that was more Interested in
the scenery than playing foot ball.
But many thought the game j ust served as a
wake-up call to the slumbering Bulldogs. FSU
rebounded to beat Ball State in the Callfomia
Raisin Bowl 27-6 and erase the memory ofthe
Slaughter at Las Cruces. However, few seem to
remember that Fresno State held a precarious
13-6 lead In the fourth quarter before Ron Cox
broke it fcpen wtth a 58-yard taterceptlon
return for a touchdown.
And then this year began with high
expectations.
Commentary
The Bulldogs, with offensive weapons of
Aaron Craver and Mark Barsotti. were -
supposed to score more often than a sex-
starved millionaire at a brothel.
No mention, however, was made on how
Fresno State was supposed to stop any team
defensively. FSU lost Its big play man, Cox.
and Its top defensive back in James Williams
to the National Football League.
The Bulldogs cruised through the first five
games, wtth only a hint of troulple. Not
surprisingry. it was against the Lobos at home.
New Mexico gave the 'Dogs all they could
handle ta what was supposed t o b e a 'revenge'
game. FSU escaped wtth a 24-17 win.
Then the Northern Illinois game.
Fresno State's defense looked like afive-
year- old trying to flag a taxi ta New York as
Stacey Robinson ran through, over and
around the Dogs for a NCAA-record 308 yards
rushing. The Huskies also piled an
unbelievable 733-yards team hishtqg as th*
Bulldogs were utterly helpless ta the face of a
wishbone, run-oriented offense.
The lesson was learned by Utah State as the
Aggies featured the run against FSU. Last year,
Utah State passed 40 times against the
Bulldogs and were soundly thumped 34-7. Last
weekend, the Aggies ran 50 times and gained
272 yards and managed a tie.
So, what has happened to the Bulldogs? i
Well, first ofall.it appears that Fresno State
isateamthathaswcaknesses(gasp!).The -
"Dogs are susceptible to the run because they
don't have the size or strength on the defensive
line and inside linebacker positions.
When teams control the ball and the clock,
the Bulldog offense stays on the' sidelines and
out ofthe end-zones. Plus, the offense isn't as
explosive as it seemed to be as It has scored 42
. points ta the last two games.
