As the late afternoon sun fell in
Bulldog Stadium creating a field
covered by shadows, the clock wound
down finishing the second overtime of
play with the Fresno State and the
California soccer teams tied 0-0.
It appeared the two teams had fought
to a deadlock until Tom Gleason
electrified t*»e 2,846 fans with u goal off
an assist by Femi Olukanni, giving thc
Bulldogs a 1-0 victory over the Bears.
Gleason's 10-yard header just beyond
the reach of goalie Todd Harmon came
with 10 seconds left to play and led to a
Bulldog celebration. The California
players fell to the ground in disbelief of
the game-winning kick.
A victory was needed against the
Bears to keep FSU's post-season hopes
alive. The 'Dogs entered the weekend
with a chance at the Pacific Coast
Athletic Association title, but ,the
CSU-Fullerton win over Nevada-Las
Vegas on Friday ended the Bulldogs'
hopes for a league championship.
With thc NCAA crown, the Titans
earned an automatic berth in the NCAA
post-season champion tournament. So.
in order for Frenso State to get a bid.
the 'Dogs have to finish the season
strong.
Yesterday's win raised FSU's season
record to 13-4-2 (4-1 in the PCAA and
4-1 -I in the Pacific Soccer Conference).
Cal's playoff chances are now slim as
the Bears drop to 13-4-2 and 1-2-1 in
the PSC.
Despite the lack of scoring, it was an
intense gan?e filled with excitement.
The Bulldogs controlled play for most
of the afternoon, getting numerous
scoring opportunities.
"We were around the goal all
afternoon," said Bulldog Coach Jose
Elgorriaga. "We created all kinds of
chances by moving the ball well, but we
couldn't get one in the net."
Fresno State totalled 10 shots on
goal, while the Bears could only manage
three attempts. Bulldog goalie Mark
Daugherty recorded just one save, but
played well throughout the game.
For the game, Harmon was tested
time after time by the Bulldog offense
and made some sensational saves.
In the first half. Olukanni centered a
couple of passes perfectly only to have
them denied by a stingy Bear defense.
Dan Dutra had a breakaway Chance
for a goal, but Harmon was there to
make the play.
With 35:30 left in the game, Harmon
made his most impressive save of the
day. A 'Dog center kick gave them a
chance for a header, that was shot to
the left corner of the goal. Harmon
dove, and deflected the shot just wide
\>f the net.
The Bulldogs tried three more shots
before regulation ended, but Harmon
continued his excellence and his shut¬
out
When Olukanni's kick bounced off a
Bear player's hand in the first overtime
period, the Bulldogs were in business
again. The ball was placed 20 yards in
