the system.*' Barsotti said. 1 have
been here three years and it's about
time things are changing."

21-10 lead with a little over seven
minutes left In the quarter.
"We had been running an
unbalanced Une the whole game,"
Barsotti sale}, "and every time I gave

it upon myself; 1 figured I could get at
least two yards out of the deal."

except for some of the great wishbone
quarterbacks, who dominated a game
with key plays like he did tonight,"
Sweeney said,
Craver rushed for only 61 yards on
19 carries in the first hall
"You kind of never know what to
expect from the first game," Craver

you'll never know how they are going
to perform."

They're calling it "Dig or Die."
And for the Fresno State women's
volleyball team, their 1990 motto was
illustrated Monday night in the
championship match of their1 own
Dan Gamel Invitational.
Fresno State rebounded from a 2
games-to-1 deficit to defeat the
University of San Diego. 15-3,12-15,2-
15. 15-10, 15-12 before a North
Gymnasium crowd of 467.
"They are so determined to win that
I don't think (the 1990 Bulldogs) will
ever be a team that will 'lose' matches
or quit" said 20th-year FSU head
coach LeUani Overstreet
last year, Fresno State lost 12 of its
last 14 matches, ending the season 11-
19 and a disappointing 3-15 in the Big
West Conference.
Bulldog sophomore outside hitter
Andrea Radmilovich. who was named
tournament Most Valuable Player,
said last year's team seemed to fold
when the going got rough. She said
this year Is another story.
"This team has the right attitude."
said Radmilovich. who set a Dan
Gamel Invitational match record with
29 kills against the Toreras.
Coupled with FSU's Sunday.night
victory over San Francisco in the first
round, the Bulldogs are undefeated
after their first two matches for the
second straight season.
Radmilovich also dug out 20
defensive saves—another tourney
record. -
Senior setter Kleran O'Leary, who
was named to the all-tourney team,
looked primarily to Radmilovich In
the match's heated moments.
Overstreet noticed.
"Andi seems to make something out
of nothing or out of something weird."
said Overstreet. who picked up her
235th career victory Monday night.
Down 8-4 In the fifth gc*w, the
Bulldogs produced a 6-1 streak and
took the lead for the first time, JiU
Princeton (5 kills, 17 digs) layed down
a dink to give the Bulldogs a 10-9
advantage.
San Diego (2-1) grabbed the lead
back, 12-11. when Bulldog Amity
Quist failed to connect on a pass.
No matter. O'Leary tied the game
with a dink and Princeton putthe
Bulldogs on top for good with a service
ace. '
