learned Selland Arena can be a
tough place to play.
Fresno State jumped out to an
11-0 lead in the first 2:59 of the
game and made 10 free throws in
thefinal 1:51 to upset NewMexico,
71 -57, Thursday night in a nation¬
ally televised match-up on ESPN.

Ladies finish third at WAC
swim meet, men take sixth
ColiegtenSports Staff j
Sixteen school records fell as the
Fresno State swim teams competed
for the first time in the Western
Athletic Conference Swimming
and Diving Championships.
The women's team finished
third, behind Brigham Young and
Colorado State, and the men's team
posted a sixth-place finish. Utah
won the men's competition
"For the men, it was a tougher
transition from the Big West to the
WAC," coach Daniella Irle said.
Nlshlmoto Weber
Irle was named the WAC's
women's swim coach of the year.
Leading the way for the women,
who set 13 FSU records over the
weekend, was freshman Debra
Weber, who set records in the 100
and 200 breaststroke and the 400
"But they fought hard through the individual medley.
final night of competition" Sophomore Yvette Tristan set
, records in the 100 and 200 butter¬
fly, and senior Liz Labonte set
school marks in the 100 back and
200 IM. Nanette Jones and Carrie
Bennet set the 500 and 50 freestyle
records, respectively. Four relay
records were also broken.
For the men, junior. Garrett
Nishimoto set records in the 100
and 200 breaststroke, and Dave
Lyons set the school standard in
the 100 backstroke.
The highlight of the meet was
when the FSU women took first in
the 200medley relay. That event is
BYU and CSU's specialty.
"We served notice for the years |
to come," Irle said.

ing down 15 rebounds, "axon was
one board shy of tying his single-
game best of 16.
Fresno State coach Gary Colson
admitted to using restraint to keep
from showing jubilation after the
game Thursday night.
"The whole key was tempo,"
Colson said. "I just didn't think we
could run with them. I thought they
were very athletic."
Lobos coach Dave Bliss was not
very happy with his team's prepa-"
ration after the game, but gave
FSU credit for winning the ball
game.
"I thought Fresno State played a
very smart ball game," Bliss said.
"1 just didn't have us ready to play."
The Bulldogs, on the other hand,
came out of the gate ready to prove
something to New Mexico and the
rest of tip country.
"We got em harassed on national
television and we wanted this game
real bad," Satterwhite said.
Fresno State converted on four
of its first six shots white the Lobos
went 0 for &. With 11:18 left in the
first halftiie Lobos were shooting
3 for 17 from the floor.
The Lobos finished the half,
shooting a dismal 23.5 percent
The Bulldogs shot only margin¬
ally better, 39.4, but led at the
break, 33-25.
At the start of the second half,
the Bulldogs outscored the Lobos,
9-4. in 4:14 to lead 42-29 with 15
minutes left
Fresno State had its biggest lead
of the game, 52-35, with 9:22 left
80-60, Saturday night to improve
to 11-5 in the WAC, 19-6 overall.
DavOh Satterwhite continued his
strong play, scoring 19 points to
lead the Bulldogs against the Lo¬
bos. Brian Santiago had, perhaps,
his most productive game of the
season at point guard, pouring in
15 points and dishing out 10 as> when the Lobos'Canonchet Neves

Baseball drops two
of three to USC
By Danny Evans
Staff Writer
So this is the respect Fresno
State gets from USC even after
winning the Freedom Bowl?
In as tightly played a three-
game series as is statistically pos¬
sible, the No. 12 Southern Cal
(7-8) baseball team took two
games from the 19th-ranke/l
Bulldogs (8-6) at soggy Dedeaux
Field in Los Angeles this week¬
end in utterly depressing fash¬
ion. All three games were de¬
cided by one run and both of the
Trojans' .wins
came on late-
inning home
runs.
In the so-
called "rubber
game" Satur¬
day, USC's Mike Roe
Mike Collett crushed FSU starter
Mark Cruise's 100th pitch over
a 375-fbot sign in left field to
lead-off the ninth inning, giving
USC a 4-3 win. It was Collett's
first home run in three years and
ruined Cruise's masterful five-
