'Dogs blow
lead; fall to
Titans in OT
By Lee Passmore
Sports Writer
The degree of frustration in close road
games for the Fresno State men's basketball team may have reached its peak last
Saturday night at Cal State-Fullenon
After leading by six points late in the
game, the Bulldogs suddenly went cold
and lost in overtime to the Titans of
Fullerton 64-57. The loss capped an
unsuccessful two-game road trip for the
'Dogs who dropped to 5-13 and 2-7 in
the Pacific Coast Athletic Association.
The Titans, by contrast, won their
second in a row to improve to 6-12 and 2-
7 in the PCAA. They are now tied with
the 'Dogs for eighth place in the
conference, two games ahead of last-place,
winless Pacific.
FSU appeared to have this game in the
bag with a 50-44 lead and less than five
minutes remaining in regulation, but
from that point on could only score one
subsequent free throw.
As a result, Fullerton came back to
force an overtime. The Titans scored first
in the extra period and the 'Dogs never
were able to answer back and retake the
lead
"This was an especially disappointing
game in that we could have controlled our
own destiny but we didn't," FSU Coach
Ron Adams told broadcasters after the

Barnes cranks
out Olympic
qualifying mark
By Jon Mat.sune
Sports Editor
All-American Lacy Barnes dished out
an Olympic Games qualifying discus
throw and went on to win the first
annual Fresno State Women's Weight
Pentathlon Saturday at Warmerdam
FiekL
Barnes' toss of 199 feet, two inches is
exceeded by only two American
collegiate throwers — Stanford's Carol
Cady (206) and Arizona Stale's Leslie
Deniz C213-1).
For Barnes to qualify for the Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, she must
still place among the top three at the
Olympic Trials in July.
Barnes' mark also qualified her for the
outdoor NCAA Championships where
she is a two-time runner-up as well as
The Athletics Congress Championships.
"It's nice, 1 guess," Barnes said of her
throw, "But! tell you, if 1 don't win the
NCAAs this year, I'm going to be really
embarrassed. It's a nice mark and all, but
if 1 go hack and throw like an idiot, then
it's not alright-"
In addition to winning the discus,
Barnes took first place in the javelin
with a throw of 164 feet
"As far as the havelin, 1 was surprised
and pleased," she said, "Just like I've
said, I only practiced twice because my
shoulder hurts so bad. I threw it on
Wednesday and I was in pain Wednesday

Wrestler breaks oldest FSU record
Richburg wins No. 115
By Jon Matsune
^ Sports Editor
1 Bulldog senior Allen Richburg recorded his 115th career win and broke
FSLTs all-time record for victories Saturday as he whipped San Jose State's Jim
Sageri 16-5 in the semifinals of the San
Francisco State Tournament.
The breaking of the mark held for 20
years by former-All American Mike
Gallego was the highlight of an outstan
ding day for Richburg, and teammates
Vince Walker and Durbin Lloren.
The three Bulldogs, who form the
nucleus of the FSU lineup, all won their
weight classes in the toumey.
"I feel fortunate to have wrestled this
long and in mis many matches without
having something permanently stop my
career," said Richburg, who missed all
but two matches of the 1987 season
with an injury.
"It's a sense of accomplishment. It
means all this time and effort I put into
the sport has paid off. Every time I get
my hand raised, it's a payoff."
Richburg tied the mart with a 16-2
slaughter of Stanford's in the tournament's opening round. After beating
Sageri in the semis, Richburg edged Cal
State-Fullerton's Rich Zele 4-3 for his
116th career win and the 150-pound
championship.
