"They returned everything," Amy Gallagher said. "They were consistent." Gallagher advanced another step toward becoming the winningest women's player at Fresno, needing only eight more wins. She said it has been "tough" to get back to playing her game. She was forced out of the fall sea¬ son due to surgery on her left wrist, but said the mental part of ^ thegamehasbeenahang-upmore than the physical aspect. ^There's a difference between playing nervous and playing scared," Gallaghersaid. "I'vebeen playing scared instead of going out to win. Seven months is a long time to be Out and I came back after playing for just three days. I feel like I have to win." Galvaldon suffered the only Bulldogloss,and showed herfrus- trations with herself throughout the match. Her opponent, Walter, appeared to be her equal, but un¬ forced errors keptGavaldon from winning the close first set Walter dominated play in the second set and cruised on to victory. Being the only freshman on the team, Townsend feels that she ' still has a lot of mental maturity to gain. "I'm 100% better than I was when I came here. I came here with no experience at this level, and I've gotten better. I feel I've got the physical part down, I just have to work on the mental as¬ pect." This was the Bulldogs first easy victory of the season, and im¬ proves their record to 4-6. For the men, #1 Fredrik Bergh beat Chris Magyary 6-1, 6-1; #2 Ivan Keskinov beat Casey Wood 6-2,6-2; #3 Ryan Juinio over Josh Johnston 6-2,7-5; #4 Blago Petrov defeated Alex Reyes 6-0, 6-2; #5 Jake Bragonier beat Nadare Izadi 6-2,6-2; and #6 P.J.
