Top 'Dogs take on No. 17 Tigers
By Jennifer Konze
Sports Editor
The No. 1 ranked Fresno State soft-
ball team will look at today's home
doublehcader against the University of
the Pacific from a different perspective
after suffering a .disappointing loss to
ihird-rankcd Oklahoma State in ihe
semi-finals at the PONY Invitaional in
Fulleiton Sunday.
The loss halted the Bulldogs' 12-
game winning streak and may have cost
them their No. 1 national ranking,
which comes out today.
"We went into the PONY Invita¬
tional thinking that we can win it, and I
still think we have the better team and
have that ability, but Oklahoma State
has an awfully good team," said head
coach Margie Wright
"It was a good lesson for us and puts
us in a good spot to restart our confer¬
ence play again.
"I feel good about going inio our
games against Pacific and 1 think, this
tournament will serve as a stepping
stone to returning to conference play."
As of the last Big West statistics list
(Mar. 20), FSU topped the conference

For Andersen, it's the hat, among other practices.
"Before the first point of the natch has been scored, I will
throw the hat behind me," Andersen explains. "I will wear it
during the warm-up, but not during the match. In a close
match 1 will go over to the fence where the hat lays and touch
the hat with my racket."
Cm match day il is also customary for Andrsen, who will be

teammates and passers-by last week for his match against
