Sinclair's overtime goal lifts Bulldogs I Women's soccer team squanders first- half lead By Erik Pfeifle ' ' The Daily Collegian Fresno State women's soccer Head Coach Peter Reynaud likes to schedule teams that beat him the year before. Last week it was Fullerton State. This time the victim was NCAA Division II powerhouse Sonoma State, Reynaud's former team. Last year Sonoma State posted an im¬ pressive 17-2 record and a NCAA final four appearance. In beating Sonoma State 2-1 in overtime, the Bulldogs beat a team they lost to last year for the second times in three games. Overall however. Reynaud was not totally satisfied with his teams play. "We had complete control of the game and we let it get away. We let them get back into it." he said. "We ran out of gas and that was a prob¬ lem for us." Erin Barry gave Fresno State a 1-0 lead half-way through the first period when the Sonoma State goalie lost control of a free-kick from mid-field. After the bobble, a swarm of Fresno State players were there ready to attack with Christina Bell emerging to center the ball for Barry to tap it in. Although controlling the first half, having eight shots to the Cos¬ sacks one. the Bulldogs were only able to muster that one goal. Although they could not muster a goal, the second half was also controlled by Fresno State, until Sonoma State scored fifteen min¬ utes into the second half. For the rest of the half neither Paul Martinez — The Daily Collegian Fresno State's Kristin Dunlap is held by Sonoma's Emiria Salzmann. team was able to score sending the game into overtime. Vith 3:08 left in the first over¬ time, Kristen Sinclair continued her magic by coming off the bench to hail a shot just over the goalie's outreached arms and just beneath the cross-bar. It was her third goal of the season. She just missed hav¬ ing two scores in the second half of regulation, with one being nullified because of an off-sides and another sailing just wide. \ The Fresno State women were able to hold off Sonoma State in the second overtime to preserve the vic¬ tory) EvWi with her recent success, Sinclair Mill remains modest. "No.il am just lucky I guess," she said when asked if she consid¬ ers herself a goal scorer. Coach Reynaud seemsloha^e a different opinion of Sinclair. . "She's a goal scorer. She's got a great shot. She can score goals." Reynaud said. The Bulldogs will compete next against USC this weekend in south¬ ern California. Bulldogs set to play first ever SEC opponent I Facing number 17 Auburn, Bulldogs are comfident. Luis Hernandez The Daily Collegian The Fresno State Bulldogs I football team continues its non- I conference schedule against the I Auburn Tigers at Jordan-Hare sta- I dium, Saturday. Sept.. Jat 4 p.m. Auburn has been a perennial I Division-I school powerhouse.' j having been to bowl games the ! last two years. In addition, they play in an 85.000-seat stadium. They have also produced several NFL players. Does all this intimi¬ date the Bulldogs players? "No. Not at all." said Omar Stoutmire, Fresno State's senior strong safety. "I see no reason why we could not come back with a win." Jim Stoutmire's sentiments. "No. I don't think anybody intimidates our players," Sweeney said. He added that crowd noise can be a problem, but if his players stay focused on the tasks at hand they should be fine. Auburn is coming off an un¬ impressive 29-0 win against vis¬ iting University of Alabama at Birmingham. They are ranked 17th in the CNN/USA. and 18th in the AP poll. Last year, the Ti¬ gers finished the regular season 8-3. In the post-season, they lost 43-14 to Penn State at the Outback Bowl in Tampa. After losing to Oregon last week, facing Auburn makes two consecutive games against teams that have New Year's Day Bowl experience. The reason is simple: 'To mentally harden your play¬ ers against opponents so they can't be intimated by other Sweeney echoes Please see FOOTBALL iLL*age7 Diving makes splash for women's swimming | Addition to swim team will help Bulldogs' chances at swim m^ets. By Gary Chapla The Daily Collegian Better late than never, right? Of course it is. That's how veteran Head Coach Daniella Irle feels about the recent addition of diving to the women's swimming program at Fresno State. "Unfortunately we just missed the recruiting deadline, but now [diving's] here and that's what mat¬ ters." Irle said. For the first time, Fresno State will be able to compete in the div¬ ing portion of swim meets. In the past three years, the Bull¬ dogs have consistently finished in third place; not because of poor swimming, but because they did not have a diving squad. Meet after meet, the team would enter a competition with a deficit of 50 to 88 points because of the lack of a diving team. As they entered each competi¬ tion, the team figured it would only come out third or fourth. This deficit proved to be not only physical, but mental. The swimmers would consis¬ tently swim as hard and as smart as they could, but fall short in points, only to find out that it was because of the missing diving points, Irle said. Now that Fresno State has given the go-a-head for a diving team, coach Irle landed the acquisition of long time diving specialist. Coach Warren Maxwell. Coach Maxwell comes to Fresno State with ten years of outstanding coaching beneath his belt. As well as coaching the Fresno State swim¬ ming and diving program. Maxwell has also held numerous positions Please see DIVING page 7
