Last season Fulton finished second on the Bulldogs with 51 3- pointers in 139 attempts (.367). Bulldogs will try to avoid first 0-3start since 1981 By Casey Angle The Fresno State women's basketball team seeks their first win of this yoiing season to¬ night when'they host San Fran¬ cisco at the North Gym. The Lady 'Dogs dropped their first two games of the sea¬ son this past weekend at the Montana State Tournament. In Friday's game against Florida State they closed a 14-point sec¬ ond half deficit to three with 4:45 left to play but eventually fell 67-62. On Saturday a first half of poor shooting and turnovers resulted in a 20-point halftime deficit to host Montana State. However, the Lady 'Dogs did play evenly with MSU in the second half before falling 71-51. That should provide some en¬ couragement for Coach Linda,. Wunder as they head into tonight's home opener. "We're discouraged that we didn't do better," said Wunder. "We didn't come out ready to play. Against Montana State we Bulldog Notes Off the field ByChadHolcomb f CSUF weighTroom facility in the works From football to tennis; from basketball to softball; Fresno State athletics may never be the same. Just last week, Fresno State athletic director Gary Cunningham announced excit¬ edly the schools plan to open a braird new weight room for all Bulldog student-athletes. \Omningham and company finishted the plans after months of hard work on the project, and plan to begin the construction of the 10,000 to 12,000 foot facil¬ ity to be completed some time in the fall. . "I'm excited that after months of work on this project we can finally say, 'The weight room is going to get done," said Cunningham." The athletic director is not the only one happy • with the advancement in the weight room proposal at Fresno State. The coaches of FSU athletics are indeed pleased with the an¬ nouncement. "It is the answer 'to a lot of prayers, the answer to a lot of ' necessities and the answer to the future of Fresno State foot¬ ball," said head Fresno State football coach Jim Sweeney. _ "Wfe've outgrown a lot of fa- cilities on our campus, so the addition of a larger weight room will be a plus. The weight room will provide athletes better op¬ portunities, larger space, and better equiprnent," said head softball coach Margie Wright. Cuiiningham said the new weight room will be located be¬ yond the'right field fence of Beiden Field. The weight room to put FSU athletics into the next century, is replacing the 3,800 square foot facility in the Robert E. Duncan Building. Including office space and restrooms, Cunningham added that the athletic department is in route to selecting an architect for the project. "My program spends 20 to 35 percent of its time in the weight room. We>have a large team, so the extra space and the equipment would benefit our team and the athletic depart¬ ment as a whole," said head swimming coach Daniella Irle. "The addition of the new weight room is great for all the athletes at Fresno State. I think it shows that we're moving in the right direction with our fa¬ cilities. It'will help every pro¬ gram and hopefully make out athletes better athletes, and that's what every coach's goal is," said head basketball coach Linda Wunder. Cunningham assured, "ThisV is an area of our athletic com¬ plex that definitely needed to be upgraded. When finished, it will be one of the finest colle¬ giate weight rooms in the West." Five athletes earn All- WAC honors Playing sports on the colle¬ giate level takes a lot of time, effort and dedication on the part of every athlete. Let's talk about something you may not know!! Five Fresno State Bulldog ath¬ letes from the football and vol¬ leyball teams, have recently been recognized for their hard work- their hard work with the books. Chris Burk, Warren Fortier, Lance Thomas, Tera Booker and Amy Cheli all have been hon¬ ored with 1994 Academic All- WAC football and volleyball recognition. Burk.a junior fullback, is one of the 43 football players in the WAC to be honored this fall with the award. A biology ma¬ jor, Burk posted a 3.35 grade point average. Tight end Fortier, received the honor as well for. his fine See Honors, Page 7 didn't shoot well early and that dictated the rest of the game," she added. Despite the disappointment there were some positives. "We got some people game experi¬ ence and playing time, players like Michele Anderson and Mariann Sjorun," noted Wunder. The problems and mistakes her team is making right now don't have her too worried. "(The problems) are things you can change." One bright spot so far for CSUF has been junior guard Staci Oddo. Her games of 16 and 17 points over the weekend earned her all-tournament hon-, ors. Oddo is shooting 64 per¬ cent (7-11) from three- point range and 55 percent from the field (12-22). She is just 20 three- pointers away from breaking Geri Gainey's school record of 125 from 1987-91. Senior guard Kristi Fultoh should also provide some help in the scoring department. Fulton tied a career-high 18 points in the season opener against Florida State. Providing the bulk of the in¬ side scoring and rebounding for the Lady 'Dogs will be Corry Carter, Susan Conlan, Tanisha Huddleston and Kari Jorgensen. CSUF will be trying to avoid their first 0-3 starisince 1981. The Lady T>ogs will face a fairly young USF team (1-1) coming off a big win ovdr Cal Poly in their home opener after losing their season opener to UC Santa Barbara on Friday. The Lady Dons' high scorer has. been Junior center Valeri Gillon. In Monday's 91^ blowout against Cal Poly Gillon poured in 21* points to go alortg with her 12 rebounds and five blocks. Against UCSB she scored 15 points and grabbed 10 re¬ bound?. USF will also be helped by talented freshman Britanny Lindhe. Lindhe had 19 points on 7 of 12 shooting in Monday's win. She had 10 points and seven rebounds against UCSB. Donna Spragger provides the bulk of their bench scoring. She came off the bench to add 17 points against Cal Poly. The 36-point margin of vic¬ tory was their largest since 1989- 90. "A key will be who controls the boards; they're rebounding well,' said Wunder. It's "Wear Jted Night" to¬ night. All fans wearing red get in for only $2. Game time is 7 > p.m. Swimmers head south for Speedo Cup Invitational By Chad Holcomb With all the strength and power involved in the butter¬ fly stroke, the ease qf the wake from a breast stroker, and the speed or endurance of freestyle, the Fresno sAte swimming 'team will head south this weekend to Long Beach for the Speedo Cup Invi¬ tational. The Bulldogs are coming off a tough defeat/ilva diial meet with Nevada on Nov. 12 and are looking to take their strong variety of swimmers into the 12-team swim meet which starts today and goes through Saturday. t FresnoState willh/ve todeal with teams from all over the west, including Brigham Young, Pacific, Cal-Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, New Mexico, Oregon State, Loyola Marymount, Arizona State, Hawaii, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, and USC. The Bulldog swimmers are looking forward to this meet with good intentions to win. Fresno State fell just short of winning the title last year, fin¬ ishing second. Another reason for the anticipation is the. fact that this meet has annually been the fastest meet of the year, besides the WAC cham¬ pionships, for head coach Daniella Irle's swimmers. The current Bulldogs are continuously striving to reach the top spots in Fresno State history in their particular events, finishing hard every race to do so. Currently third on th© list in the 200 freestyle is fresh¬ man Karen Gallagher with ^ time of 1:54.40. Gallagher also surfaced in the top.five in the 400 IM (individual medley) with a sprinting time of 4:39.76.' Another Bulldog with her sights set is Lisa Hislop, who is in the top five in Bulldog history in the 1,000 and 1,650 freestyle events. Hislop's time for the 1,000 is 10:26.61 and in third place, with her 17:41.89 time in the 1,650 placing her fifth. Patti Glosecki is back this season where she left off with last year's time of 1:54.50 in the.200 freestyle, putting her fourth on the list. The sopho¬ more has also mpved to fifth thisseasbn with 10:31.67in the l,000ireestyle. With backstroke as her spe¬ cialty, Mali Valdez is all over the all-time list for the Bull¬ dogs as well. She is currently in second in the 100 backstroke with a time of 59-59 and fifth in the 200 backstroke, posting a time of 2:11.22. ..:■?.. .
