Red Wave
wild in Bulldog
By Michael YotJng
Staff Writer
V . Fresno State men's basketball
team defeated the Rainbows of
the University of Hawaii 82-56
last night in Selland Arena.
The Rainbows, 11-8 54, came
into Fresno with a 1-4 record on���the road. Fresno State, on the
other hand, has not lost to Hawaii
in the 'Doghouse since entering
the WAC We owe the continua¬
tion of tins win streak to a power¬
house defense sparked by Bran¬
don Bakke. Bakke had a tremen¬
dous night, pilferring six of Ha¬
waii possessions. Four of those
^ she steals came in the second half,
right in themiddle of a huge 23-0
Bulldog run Bakke proved what
all coaches say- defense feeds of¬
fense, adding eight points to boot.
The'Dogs used the first half as
a learning experience, posting a
three point advantage at the half
28-25. DameUMcCulloch proved
he came intotonights game know¬
ing all he needed to know about
Hawaii, hitting on three of his five
attempts from the field and knock¬
ing down three of five from the
Ljrie to lead all scorers with nine
points at the break.
Fresno State came out in the
second half like Path Labelle, with
a 'new attitude', fueled by a
change to a trapping defense. And
that was the difference in the game
. according to head coach Gary
Colson. "The thing that won it
was the 22[trap] defense."

cal, which comes naturally, and
the mental, which comes with a
lot of work. For tennis player Ann
Papi, this statement couldn't de¬
scribe her early career any better.
"Whehl first started [to play] I
didn't know how to win," Papi
said. "If I got down early in a
match, it was usually over be¬
cause my mentality of knowing
how to win was not at the level of
my physical play." ^
Fortuhately for her, she had
the support of her father Stan, a
former major league baseball
player. When he learned of her
interest in tennis shortly after she
began to attend Tenaya Middle
School in Fresno, he pondered
whether she was serious about
rhesoort f
"When I told him I tried out for
the team and made it, he was
asking me if I was serious about
Daily Collegian playing and If I wanted to take
lessons," Papi said. :
—Irei
ne Harris
Apparently ttje answer to both
questions was "yes." Shortly af¬
ter she.told her dad the news, she
was taking lessons at Sierra, Sport
& Racquet Club with the clubs'
head tennis professional, Shawna
Kervorkian.
"At that point in my career my
fathe/ did more for me mentally
than anyone else," thejuniorsaid.
"More specifically though, he
taught me to be a competitor and
to channel my aggression (on the
court]."
With additional time arid work
at the club, Papi began to reap the
benefits as she won both local and
out-of-town tournaments.
It was becoming evident that
her mental game was beginning
to equal her physical capabilities.
In each of her four years at
Bullard high, she won the North
Yosemi te League title (in doubles
play her first three years and as a
.single in her senior season). She ■
also won three Valley champion¬
ship tides. t
However, even with all her
awards and championships, only
Long Beach State and Fresno State
University showed any interest
Papi seems to think that a major
reason for that was the' "late
bloomer" title she was given. '
"Anyone who knew me- and
knew my game was aware that I
had a tendency to start^ffmy
season slow and then comeonf
later (in the season]," Papi said. "I
think, as a result [of that], I didn't
get a lot of recognition.''
Butrather than beingbitter that
no one else took her seriously,
Papi considers herself lucky to
have been given a chance to play
here in Fresno.
'Take most kids who graduate
from high school here [in the Val¬
ley ], I wanted to go down south to
college," Papi said. "And sure!
was upset that I didn't get more
