Women hoopsters
turn back Pacific
By Joa Matsune

STOCKTON — An 18-2 second half
scoring run turned a close game into a
rout and lifted the Fresno State women's
basketball team to a 64-50 Pacific Coast
Athletic Association victory over the
University of Pacific Saturday night in
the Spanos Center.
The Bulldogs, who improved their
PCAA record lo 2-3 and their overall
mark to 7-7, will continue their two-
game road swing tonight versus San
Jose State (1-16,0-7).
"I hope this gives us the confidence
we need," said FSU Head Coach Bob
Spencer, "It's good to get a win, especially a conference win."
FSU played without 6-foot-6 center-
forward Simone Srubek, who is out two
to three weeks with a stress fracture of
the right fibula, but the 'Dogs'were still
in much better shape than UOP. The
Tigers were minus their starting center
and both starting guards due to injury.
The depletion of the UOP roster,
though, had little effect on the Bulldogs'
game. "We didn't do too much adjusting," said Spencer, "With Simone out,
we needed to determine what we were
going to do."
What the Bulldogs did do was launch
a potent inside scoring attack, utilizing
both a set offense and the fastbreak.
Even without Srubek; Fresno State
still held a notable size advantage. As a
result, 6-foot-5 Laurie Heinrichs pretty
much had things her own way on the
offensive end.
Meanwhile, guards Leesa Agent and
Michelle Bento provided the speed
necessary to bum UOP's depleted back-
i ourt on the break.
Pacific (7-10 overall and 2-6 in
conference) stayed in the game most of
the way mainly due to the efforts of 6-
foot-3 Julie Szukalski, who led all
scorers with 29 points, and all re-
bounders with 13.
The slick-moving sophomore was at
her best at the beginning of the second
half as she scored eight points during a
crucial 12-2 run that brought UOP
within one point of the lead at 33-32.
Yet after a turnaround hoop by
Heinfichs stretched the margin to 35-32,
Szukalski went into a sudden attack of
impotence missing two pairs of free
throws and an easy lay up.
Fresno State responded lo the UOP
drought by making a run of its own —
one that was bigger and better than that
of the Tigers.
With Heinrichs and Renee Ellis
leading the way, the Bulldogs outscared
their opposition 18-2 and grabbed an
insurmountable 53-34 lead.

Wrestlers frustrated in Oregon
By Jim Prourx

The Fresno State wrestling team started
off its weekend tour of Oregon in high
style, demolishing Western Oregon State
and Pacific University of Oregon. However, the trip turned sour as the TJogs fell
to Portland State, Oregon and Oregon
State, losing all three contests in the final
two matches.
FSU started the trip in Oak Grove
Friday, where it easily disposed of Western Oregon State, 43-6. The 'Dogs won
eight of 10 matches, including technical
falls from seniors Vince Walker (167
pounds) and Mike Armistead (126
pounds).
The match marked the return of 118-
pound senior Darren Stevens from an
injury. Ironically, Stevens won his match
on a forfeit after the Dogs had been forced
to forfeit their 118-pound matches during
his absence.
Fresno State continued on to Monmouth to take on Pacific University of
Oregon. The "Dogs handled Pacific just as
easily, winning by a 35-6 margin. FSU
won nine out of ten matches, including
one on a pin by junior heavyweight Paul
Mirmingos.
The Bulldogs arrived in Portland
flushed with the day's victories only to
have Portland State ruin the party by
defeating FSU in the final matches to win
19-14. Alonzo Harrison returned to the
Bulldog lineup from injury in the 150-
pound class and defeated Chris Borwack
by a score of 10-1.
The heartbreak continued for Fresno on
Saturday. The Bulldogs won five matches
to Oregon's four, with one draw, but fell
25-18. The "Dogs were ahead with two
matches remaining, but two consecutive
Oregon pins gave me Ducks the victory.
That afternoon in Corvallis, history
repeated itself as FSU led Oregon State
20-16 with two matches left Once again,
disaster struck. A pin and a technical fall
tipped the scales in the Beavers' favor,
giving them a 24-20 decision.
Vince Walker and Mike Armistead won
all five of their matches over the weekend, and Durbin Loren (158 pounds) went
undefeated as well, with four wins and a
draw. Allan Richburg had four victories,
leaving him three wins away from the
Fresno State career victory record of 114.

Having practically no trouble at all, the
Fresno State men's tennis team opened up
the '1988 season with a 9-0 shutout of

Gerety, No. 4 Dave Lomicky, No. 5 Pat
