When the CSUF water polo team
plays host to 11 other teams this
weekend In the Fresno SUte Tourn¬
ament, Bulldog coach Don Laster is
looking for quite a battle.
Among the participants in the
13th annual event will be defending
champion Occidental, a team Laster
sees as being a factor again. Occi¬
dental beat the Bulldogs, 9-5, in last
year's version.
This year Laster has high hopes
his CSUF team will be around to¬
ward the end of  the elimination
anyone a good battle,' Laster said.
The Bulldogs will start off with
Cal Poly-SLO Saturday night at 5
o'clock. CSUF beat the MutUngt
last season in a 19-4 slaughter, but
Laster is careful not to count them
'You never can tell with some
teams," Laster said. They could
come right back and give us a fight.*
The winner of that game will play
the winner of Whi ttier-Chico State
The tournament will be single
elimination with three groups of four
teams each. This will produce a win¬
ners ' bracket and a losers' bracket.
Then a round robin will produce a
winner In the tournament, and a
consolation winner.
Other teams competing will be
Pacific, San Jose SUte, Los Angeles
SUte, and the CSUF 'B' team. The
Bulldog Bs will meet Los Angeles
Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Laster sees .the favorites being de¬
fending champ Occidental and
Riverside.He expects strong per¬
formances from Los Angeles, Chico
SUte, a team the Bulldogs inched
past In the recent Cal Tournament,
and San Francisco, twice losers to
CSUF this season.
'Whittier should be good,' Laster
added. *lf Whittier beats Chlco,
then they could definitely be a factor
In the end.*
As for hit Bulldogs, Laster is just
hoping to be in the winner's brack¬
et. With their Improving defense
and counter attack, the Bulldogs
may be in the thick of things toward
the end.
'We play better defense when
they (opponents) are bringing the
ball down,' Laster said. 'But we let
them score too much with a set of¬
fense. 'We can be sluggish in the
first half,* Laster continued. 'But, I
t in this
If these w
out, Laster sees his teams as defin¬
ite contenders this weekend.
The addition of Dutch player Ron¬
ald Hermsen has been a strong asset
to the Bulldogs, Laster said.
'He has a very different style of
play than what our players are used
to,* Laster said. "It has taken ad¬
justments on both parts—Ronald
and the entire team. But he has
been a strong addition.*
The return of Mark Bray has also
helped the Bulldogs. Bray missed
action early in the year because of
what Laster called 'conditioning
problems."
•Mark is surfing to get In shape.
His return has really helped us,"
Laster said.
CSUF has gotten of f to a quick 6-1
start, similar to their fast start last
season. But in 1979, the team stum¬
bled to a 1-6 mark in league action
While Laster Is hopeful this will not
happen this year, he attributes his
team' s lack of success In conference
play to the degree of competition in
the PCAA.
•You've got UC Sanu Barbara,
the NCAA champion, and UC Irvine,
my pick to win NCAA this year—you
know, It't a tough conference,' the
coach explained. 'If we play strong
—do the things the way we want to
do them—then can turn It around.'
The action this weekend will take
place In the pools at Clovis West
High School, getting underway with
the CSUF-Cal Poly match at 5 p.m.
Saturday. The tourney will conclude
Sunday with play beginning at 8:30
a.m. and running all day.
