five-game clash
By Kendall Kerr
Sports Writer
Many people don't like Mondays, but
that's definitely not the case for the
Fresno State volleyball team which up¬
set San Diego State University 3r2 (12-
15, 15-12, 15-13, ^-16, 15-8) for its
second victorious Monday in a row.
The Bulldogs fought hard and broke
several records to top off a successful
evening and improved their record to 9-
17 overall and 3-10 in the Pacific Coast
Athletic Association.
Three team' records for a match were
broken with 96 kills, 89 assists and 40
block assists.
Setter Traci Sliester shattered her
own assists record of 70 with a new
mark of 77 and middle blocker Mary
Magyar broke the match record for
block assists with 11.
With outstanding defensive play,
middle blocker Lynette Wilke broke the
season record for block assists with 97
which was previously held by Kellie
Dyer in 1984 with 93.
"The combination of being at home
and playing our guts out is what enabled
us to win tonight," said Head 'Coach
Leilani Overstreet.
Game one was tight from beginning
to end and .saw outstanding play by
outside hitter Jenni McArtor, who
pumped out four kills and middle
- blocker Lesli Lopes, who had three kills
and two block assists.
The Aztecs barely slid by the Bulldogs
to clinch the win in game three 15-12.
Game two started out similar to the
previous one. Fresno State, trailing 6-4,
rattled off three consecutive points to go
up on San Diego 7-6 at the midpoint of
the match. The Atecs stayed close, but
the Bulldogs fought them off and
triumphed 15-13.
McArtor and Lopes continued their
powerful play with five and four kills
respectively.
Talking a'lot and having fun out
there is what helped -u§ to win the
Student basketball
tickets still available
Sales of Fresno State student season'
basketball tickets have been slow and
well over half remain unsold, accor¬
ding to Athletic Ticket Manager Terry
Johnson.^--^ A
Of the" original l£75 tickets available
before Monday's lottery, a total of 750
remain; Johnson attributes the decline
to the fortunes of FSUs team.
• "(Ticket sales) have been on the
decrease over the past four years," said
Johnson, "So it's not something that
popped up all of a sudden.
"The team's was down last year. If
the teams doing well, well sell al) the
tickets despite all the other factors.
The tickets are on sale at the Fresno
State Ticket Office for $71.00 and are
now available to FSU faculty and staff.

match," said Lopes. "We knew we could
beat them."
The 'Dogs made a miraculous re¬
covery in game three after being down
10-3 at one point in the game.
Fresno State scored points four thru
six without a response from the Aztecs.
San Diego State put a point on the board
to increase their lead to 11-6, but Fresno
.hen rallied with four consecutive points
to close the gap to 11-10.
Behind two kills by Michele Simms,
the 'Dogs tied the contest at 13-13. Lopes
and Magyar* then combined for two
straight blocks to give FSU the win.
The Bulldogs appeared to put the
fourth game — and the 'match — away
in the fourth game as they outscored the
Aztecs 11-4 to turn a 3-3 tie into a 14-7
lead.
San Diego State, however, fought off
match point and roared back behind the
serve of Jackie Mendez and cut the
margin to 14-13.
The Bulldogs then hit two balls wide,
knocked one into the net and then lost

Guard positions concern Spencer a$
women hoopsters prepare for '87-88
By Jon Mataune
Sports Editor
Filling the guard positions vacated by
all-time FSU leading scorer Wendy
Martell and fiery Ann Menke-Wilson
has been a key concern of Head Coach
Bob Spencer during the opening prac¬
tice sessions of the Fresno State
women's basketball team.
This year's squad is composed of six
returnees, which include All-Pacific
Coast Athletic Association forward
Yvette Roberts, and five freshmen re¬
cruits, and two redshirte.
"Our weak spot offensively is the
guard position where we lack exper¬
ience," said Spencer, "The position is up
for grabs."
Among the candidates for work in the
open backcourt are 5-fcor-8 senior Leesa
Agent, a returnee from the 22-8 1986-87
squad, and Mary Gainey, a 5-foot-8
junior who redshirted lastyear.
Others competing for time at the
guard positions are sophomore hold¬
overs Kim Eproson and Tracy Coke,
and freshmen Chris Pagsurberon,
Michelle Bento and Mary's sister, Geri
Gainey. \T \
Stalwart Shannon McGee will be
missing from the Bulldog front line this
year, ahd Spencer may try going with a
'twin tower" lineup that includes both 6-
foot-5 senior Laurie Heinrichs and 6-
foot-6 sophomore Simone Srubek.
"We hops we will be able to play
Heinrichs and Srubek at the same time
with Roberts at the three (small
forward) spot and then have (6-0 senior)
Renee Ellis as the backup to Yvette," said
Spencer.
Progress in the frontcourt has been
limited by injuries. Roberts, FSUs lead¬
ing scorer last year has an injured thigh,
Heinrichs has been bothered by a knee
injury, and Elba is recovering from a
knee operation earlier this fall.
Newcomers up front include 5-foot-8
freshman Lori Ann Donnell, 6-frot-4
freshman Amy Gassett and 5-foot-8
sophomore Bridgette Simmons, who is
sitting out with a fractured fingeri
There are a lot of question marks this
season and we won't frtow until we've
had some good intra-squad scrimmages
as to who will be our top contenders for
starting roles," said Spencer.
Fresno State opens its '86-87 cam¬
paign Nov. 27 at Santa Clara.
