There were a lot of
great performances last
weekend in the seventh
annual Dan Gamel Invita¬
tional tournament. Cal Poly

assists in a match. Fresno
State's Nicole Chen dishing
out facials.
But there was no better
performance than the one
put forth by the six San Jose
State starters.
San Jose State won the
Dan Gamel championship by
having the best record in the
tournament. 4-0.
The Spartans' victories
included coming back from a
2-0 deficit to defeat Texas
A&M in the first match of the
tournament Friday morning
and easily defeating Fresno
State that night.
New Spartan coach
Craig Choate was excited
for his team.
This is the first
tournament the school has
won In five years and a
couple of players have
never won anything so they
were all going crazy."
Choate said.

h was a hard weekend
for the Bulldogs in the injury
department. Flanker
Malcolm Seabron and
defensive back Sam Watson
were injured on Saturday.
Seabron suffered a
dislocated shoulder in the
first half and will be out for
three to six weeks.
Watson's status was
uncertain after his injury.
Watson's loss really hurt a
lot. Freshman Omar
StoutmJreplayed as well as
can be expected for a
student-athlete making his
first appearance in Division I
football.
Where's the Improve¬
ment? The Bulldog defense
allowed 276 yards rushing to
Baylor. This was after the
Bulldogs stuffed the option
and forced the Bears to play
up-ihe-middle grind it out
football.
The secondary also had
their problems. They gave up
283 yards passing. So much
for a bad arm.
Flowing Rivers-Senior
running back Ron Rivers
had 12 carries for 75 yards.

If John Bluem was
going to be satisfied with a
split of a season-opening
road trip to^he south,
imagine what he thinks of a
sweep .
That's what he's
coming home with after
Fresno State (2-0) upset
eighth-ranked UC San Diego.
5-1, Monday afternoon in
San Diego.
Forward Jason Berg

for the 'Dogs while his

also added a goal. Sterling
Wescott and Mark Foster
also scored goals for FSU.
Junior goalkeeper
David Kramer was stingy In
goal, making four saves.
Bluem was pleased
with the win and said that
one of his goals during the
preseason was to get the
Bulldogs to create more
scoring opportunities and
score more goals. It seems to
be working so far.
He also said the team
did have things to work on
still.
Saturday in the sea¬
son-opener in Irvine, the
Bulldogs once again beat up
on UC Irvine 3-0.
It was the first season-
opening win for third-year
coach Bluem.
It was also the Bulldogs
13th consecutive victory over
the Anteaters in 13 tries.
