Yet for most of Saturday night's Pacific Coast Athletic Association contest versus UC Santa Barbara, the Bulldogs didn't have a player in the game standing above 6-0. With Srubek out with a stress fracture of the foot, and Heinrichs in foul trouble; FSU was, for one of the few times this season, the shorter team on the 'DOGS Continued from page 5 game. "I felt in regulation we had the opportunity at the free throw line and we couldn't do it-" In the final minute of regulation and in overtime, the Dogs missed four of six key free throws. FSU also had a span of nine minutes during this time in which they failed to make a single shot from the field. The 'Dogs took the lead alter the pace picked up in the second half. The fust half was basically a defensive struggle with the Titans leading most of the way. Fullerton led by as much as six early in Ihe game, but the Dogs rallied to tie ii 14-14. FSU eventually took an 18-16 lead when Mike Mitchell, who led the Dogs with 17 points, hit two free throws. At the half, the score was tied at 22-22. The Titans were the first team to establish themselves in the second half offensively. They burst out to a 33-26 lead on a three-point shot by Richard Morton. Led by Mitchell and Kevin Stevenson, FSU eventually came to life to take a 42- 40 lead. The 'Dogs then increased the lead to 50-44 when Derrick Barden dunked off of a lob pass from Stevenson. That, however, was where the wheels came off. Fullerton got the next five points, courtesy of Morton who scored 13 of ftis 15 after halftime. Three of those came on an outside bomb which made it 50-49. The Bulldogs meanwhile, squandered an opportunity to put the game away when Barden bounced an easy layup hard off the glass with 1:45 left- The Titans fouled Bulldog freshman guard Andre Sims with 32 seconds left. Sims made the front end of a one-on-one but missed the second shot, leaving the score at 51-49. Fullerton elected to go for the tie with time running out- With five seconds remaining Titan forward Henry Turner drove the lane against two 'Dog defenders and put a one-handed shot in to send the contest into overtime. Turner led all scorers with 25 points. The Red Wave faithful should have seen what was coming. Fullerton won the tipofT and Morton canned a three-pointer to give Fullerton the lead for good at 54- 51. £SU didn't score in overtime until Mitchell laid one in with 1:25 left to cut the margin to 58-53.

According to Spencer, having his team in the right frame of mind by the end of intermission was of the utmost importance. "I told them they had to hit the boards, and play with more intensity," said Spencer, "This is an emotional team, and if we don't -get the adrenalin flowing early, we're in trouble." Although Heinrichs fouled out after just 14 minutes of play, she still managed to score 10 points and play a major role in the Bulldog win. Six of her points helped spark an 16-2 run early in the second half that turned a 32-24 deficit into a 40-34 lead. Heinrichs picked up her fifth foul wiih 13:40 remaining, and UCSB closed the gap to 41-38 on a pair of free throws by Patti Niichel; but the Bulldogs, led by Roberts and Gainey, responded by rattling off 14 of the next 18 points and going up 55-*2. rf From there, forward Renee Ellis took over for FSU, scoring nine of her 11 points in the final seven minutes and spearheading the Dogs to a 69-48 lead.
