Monday, March 11,1996
Continued from page 6.
Fresno State led 92-89 with 50
seconds remaining in the second
overtime when Charles Smith
launched a three-pointer that was
off the mark. A whistle blew, and
the referee called McCulloch for his
fifth foul, allegedly hitting Smith on
the wrist during his shot release.
"I got hit on the wrist and some¬
times they make that call and some¬
times they don't," Smith said.
McCulloch disagreed.
"It was a clean block," he said.
"But it was in the Pit, and they're
the home team." Smith buried all
three free throws to send the game
into a third overtime.
What a game.
"It was definitely the most dra¬
matic game I've been a part of,"
said New Mexico Head Coach
Dave Bliss.
Charles Smith led all scorers
with*29 points, on nine of 25 shoot¬
ing. He was a perfect eight for eight
from the free throw line and added
five rebounds and three assists. He
also had a game-high six steals.
WAC Freshman of the Year
Kenny Thomas, after being held to
one point the entire first half, ended
the game with 17 points aryfSrx re¬
bounds. Thomas and Smith were
named to the WAC All-Tournament
team.
Young led the Bulldogs in scor^
ing with 26 points on nine of 23
shooting from the floor. He made
f three-pointers Ja WAC Tour-
fent record, in 18 attempts.-He
added 8 assists, but committed
seven of the Bulldogs' 21 turn¬
overs, the team's third-highest mark
of the season. He was also named
to the WAC All-Tournament team.
Brooks was next with 25 points,
Center Rahsaan Smith added 16
points and a career-high 14 re¬
bounds. He added five blocked
shots, giving him a school record
61 for the year.

Washington
Of his last 12 matches while com¬
piling a 26-7 record.
Fresno State junior Brendan
Buckley lost the 142 final to BYU's
Gary Sanderson, 11-8. Sanderson
used three late near fall points to
fuel his win. Buckley, who has had
half of his defeats to Top-Seven
wrestlers, was denied a wild card,
bid. Buckley finishes the season
with a record of 15-9.
Campbell picked up another
clutch victory in the 150-pound fi¬
nal. Campbell entered the final pe¬
riod down 1-0 to Wyoming's Brent
Voorhees, but used an escape and a
takedown to nail down the 3-2 win.
Campbell will enter the NCAAs
with a 10-match win streak.
Tucker's title at 158 marked his
17th straight victory. Tucker had his
way with BYU's Morgan
Robertson in his 9-4 win. After
Robertson's escape tied the match
at two in the second period. Tucker
over BYU's Mike Bolster at heavy¬
weight. The title was Preisendorf's
third straight and made him only the
fifth Bulldog wrestler to ever win
three conference titles. Preisendorf
will head into the NCAAs with a
23-6 record and having won 10 of
his last 11.
Tucker
win at 167 may have been the up¬
set of the night. It was only a month
ago that Wyoming's Brad Alderman
beat Street easily, 10-0. But Street
turned the tables when it counted,
winning 4-2 in the final.
"I didn't want to make any mis¬
takes," Street said. "I just wanted
to wrestle a tough match and not
give him any cheap points."
And that is what Street did,
spreading out two takedowns and
Alderman could only manage two
escapes. Street, who qualified to the
NCAAs as a freshman last season,
will head into this year's NCAAs
with a 19-9 record.
Junior Lalo Moz fell to
Wyoming's Jason Klohs, 3-1 in the
190-pound final. Moz was denied
a wild card bid despite a 26-10
record and a national ranking.
"The only thing I'm disap¬
pointed about is Buckley and Moz,"
DeLiddo said, referring to the fact
that both were overlooked as wild
card selections.
Darin Preisendorf capped the fi¬
nals with a 3-2 double overtime win

After dropping the first game of
the series to the Mustangs, 2-0 on
Friday night, despite a~bi^Hian_tJ
pitching performance by both pitch¬
ers, the Bulldogs rallied to win the
next two.
Mike Zirelli (2-2) struck out nine
as he went the distance for the Mus¬
tangs. Not to be outdone however
was Bulldog freshman Jeff Weaver
(3-3) who struck out 12.
The first sign of the Bulldogs
"turning season" may have come in
Saturday's game.
The Dogs found themselves
trailing the Mustangs, 6-0 heading
into to the bottom half of the fourth
inning. Senior pitcher Scott
Navarro continued to struggle and
lasted just 2 1/3 innings before be¬
ing replaced by Mike Powell.
However, rather than rolling
over, the team scored a run in each
of the next three innings. Fresno *
State erupted for five more runs in
the bottom half of the seventh in¬
cluding two-run singles by Derek
Feramisco and Gisueppe
Chiramonte.
Powell finished out the game to
pick up his first win of the season.
Like F^riday, yesterday's game
featured good pitching.
Bennett called on another fresh¬
man pitcher, Randy Goodrich, to
help the Bulldogs win their first
three-game series of the season.
There were times throughout the
game when Goodrich looked as
though he might he facing his last
batter before being replaced, but in
