Dogs challenge Baylor's option
'football team starts road
to the Holiday 'Bowt
tomorrow night in 'Texas.
DAVID DONNELLY
Sports Editor
The option offense
has given the Fresno
State football team fits in
the last three years. Last
season, the Bulldogs
traveled to Corvallis to
face lowly Oregon State.
Oregon State looked
anything but lowly
against the Bulldogs and
soundly defeated FSU 46-
36. Trie Beavers gained
470 yards rushing.
Head coach Jim
Sweeney and the Bulldog
defense came home
embarrassed.
In 1990. the Bull¬
dogs were buried by
Northern Illinois 73-18.
another team that utilizes
the option.
And tomorrow night,
the Bulldogs, ranked 25th
in the nation by the
Associated Press to begin
the season for the first
time ever, will open the
season against Baylor at
5 p.m. PDT in Waco.
Texas in the first of five
contests against option
offenses.
"It's going to be a
good challenge for us and
were looking forward to
it." said Brad Bell, defen¬
sive end.
It will be a match-up
of two teams that have
gone lo bowl games the
previous two years and
the first time the two
teams have hooked up on
the gridiron.
After almost two
weeks of practicing
against the option. Bell

The 1993 Dan Gamel
Invitational Tournament
is first up for the Fresno
State women's volleyball
team. The 'Dogs will be
taking on Cal Poly-SLO.
Cal State Fullerton. San
Jose State, and Texas
A&M in the two-day
round-robin tourney that
begins today.
The spikers face San
Jose State at 3 p.m. in
their first matchup. The
Bulldogs also face Cal
Pory-SLO at 7:30 p.m.
tonight then come back
for matches with Fuller-
ton at 3 p.m: and Texas
A&M at 7:30 on Saturday.
"It should be a real
even tournament," said
Bulldog head coach Lindy
Vivas. Vivas Is In her
third year with the Bull¬
dogs and has put together
a 42-27 record with two
straight postseason
bids—the first back-to-
back bids FSU history.
"Cal Poly comes
back and they're always
a good team. They're a
little smaller and faster
than everybody else.
That's a good challenge,
because they hate us
and we don't like them."
"San Jose State is
another big rivalry.
Texas A&M has a new
coaching staff and
"It should be
a real even tour¬
nament. Cal
Poly-SLO comes
back and they're
always a good
team." Lindy
Vivas
Improving (because of
the restrictions lifted on
younger athletes). I
expect A&M, starting
this year and years to
come, to have great
teams. Fullerton used to
be a Big West rival and
they're rebuilding."
Assessing this
year's Bulldogs. Vivas
says: "Offensively we can
do more and definitely
defensively. We have that
quickness, so we haven't
had to stress as much
defense in drills. The last
two years, that's been
something we've had to
work on."
"It's just a much more
mature group. We were
somewhat young last year
and quite a bit immature.
This year we are young
again and much more
developed and that's really
helped us."
FSU returns three
starters from last year's 21 -
14 NP/C Tournament team.
Senior middle blocker
Jennifer Craw Is the team's
leading returning blocker
and hitter from last season.
Craw had 116 total blocks
and 342 kills in 35
matches.
Nicole Chen, perhaps
the Bulldogs' most skilled
all-around player, put up
consistent numbers ail year
in '92. with 346 digs. 256
kills. 37 blocks and 22
service aces.
"I have no doubt that
Craw and Chen will fill the

Soccer team opens at Irvine
CHRIS COCOLES
Staff writer
A split of a season
opening road trip will
satisfy Fresno State
soccer coach John Bluem.
But the third-year
coach won't be disap¬
pointed should his
Bulldogs sweep UC
Irvine, a team Fresno
State has never lost to
(in 12 overall meetings),
or No. 8 San Diego, who
reached last season's
NCAA title game.
Bluem sees a win
at Irvine on Saturday as
crucial, considering the
Bulldogs are playing the
highly-regarded Toreros for
the first time in a regular
season game.
