Women's soccer: 3 games, 3 days, 3 victories
Collegian Sports Staff
Regardless of what happens the
rest of the season for the Fresno
State women's soccer team, they
will likely look back on the past
weekend as a major turning point.
At first, it looked like it would
be an arduous weekend for the Bull¬
dogs: three games in three days,
including a night game at home on
Saturday followed by a morning trip
to Sacramento State yesterday.
But what Fresno State did in
those three days was play some of
the best soccer they have played ail
season, led by a goal explosion from
Cheryl Gano.
The freshman striker from
Washington, scored seven goals
over the weekend, including two
straight hat tricks in the Bulldogs'
opening home game on Friday night
and again on Saturday, to lead
Fresno State to three straight victo¬
ries and raise their record to 5-5 on
the season. It is the first time the
bulldogs have been at .500 in this,
their inaugural season.
"Cheryl Gano," said Fresno
State head coach Peter Reynaud, "is
showing that she is going to be an
outstanding striker."
It may have already happened.
Gano was moved from defender
to the front line starting in last
Tuesday's win over San Jose State
in which she knocked in her first
collegiate goal. But it was in the
Bulldogs' first ever home game —
a 3-1 overtime win over Westmont
pn Friday in Bulldog Stadium —
that she really started to pour it on.
It did not look at first like a game
that would feature a high scorer, as
both sides were knotted at zero
through the match's first 70 min¬
utes. Westmont started the scoring
with a goal at 70:14, but Gano tied
the score with a goal from eight
yards out just eight minutes latet -
The game went to overtime tied
1 -1 and the two 15-minute extra pe¬
riods became Gano's time to shine.
At 94:36, she gave Fresno State the
lead for good by lofting one over
Westmont goalkeeper Gentry
Johnson for the eventual winning
goal.
Then, for good measure, she
clinched her first hat trick of the
weekend with a score from 18 yards
out on the left side.
After the emotional victory, the
entire team pulled off one of thef
classiest moves ever seen in sports.

Aviation legend and American
hero Brigadier General Steve
Ritchie visited California State Uni¬
versity, Fresno on Sept. 21 to bring
a message to those who want to fol¬
low in his footsteps: Nothing can
be accomplished without team¬
work.
Ritchie addressed Air Force
ROTC Detachment 035 to share his
experiences as the only pilot to
achieve the title of "flying ace" dur¬
ing the Vietnam War. Pilots are
deemed "flying ace" after shooting
down five enemy aircraft in battle.
Ritchie received national atten¬
tion as a captain in the 555thTacti¬
cal Fighter Squadron, also known
as the Triple Nickel, on July 8,
1972, when he shot down two MiG
21s in one minute, 29 seconds.
The only regret he has about the
mission that put him down in avia¬
tion history was the fact that he was
unable to record the event.
"The last thing that happened
before I taxied down the runway
was that my crew chief told me
there was no film [in the cockpit],"
Ritchie said. "I didn't think I'd see
any MiGs that day."
"Many pilots could have done
what I did," Ritchie said, empha¬
sizing teamwork and downplaying
individual accomplishment
The mission on July 8,1972 may
have made Ritchie a common name
to aviator buffs, but it was not his
most exciting.
The rescue of Roger Locher on
May 10, 1972 is what Ritchie con¬
siders to be his best mission.
When Ritchies's strike force
flew over the Yen Bai airfield in
Vietnam, he heard, "Any U.S. air¬
craft ... this is Oyster-zero-one-
bravo ... over," come over his ra¬
dio.
The call sign was recognized as
Roger Locher, who had been miss¬
ing in action for 22 days.
Locher went on to say, "Hey
guys, I've been down here a long
time. Any chance of picking me
up?"
Two nights later, Locher re¬
ceived a 20-minute ovation in the
officers' club.
Ritchie said Locher's rescue
proved that the U.S. military's mis-
