Brenda Gregersen sets for Fresno State.
'anhaw/Sports Info
Now with 3,304 career assists at
Fresno State, Gregersen needs just 45
to pass Sliesterfor the all-time record.
INSIGHT
Brenda Gregersen, now in her
third year as Fresno State's starting setter, is at the top of her game.
Expected to soon pass Traci
Sliesler's all-time Fresno State
record for assists, Gregcrscn
worked long and hard to get where
She was one of only three Bulldogs to play in all 111 games last
year and has played in all 62 games
this season.
Last year, Gregersen just missed
breaking the Fresno Stale single-
season record for assists with
1,332. The record is 1.355. set by
Kieran O'Leary in 1990.
Now with 3,304 career assists at
Fresno State, Gregersen needs just
45 to pass Slicstcr for the all-time
record.
Although the record is an accomplishment which will leave a
legacy for years, Gregersen was
unaware of her exact standing on
the all-time list.
"I think I need about 150 more,"
said Gregersen, who should break
the record this weekend in San
Diego.
The Bulldogs continue conference play against San Diego State
Friday night and will then face
William and Mary on Sunday afternoon in a non-conference
matchup also in San Diego.
Gregersen, now a junior, came to
Fresno State from Dos Pueblos
High School, near Santa Barbara,
where her brother, Brent, is now
a junior. Her parents, Mary and
Alan Gregersen, drive up for almost every home game.
"They give me a lot of support."
Gregersen said.
"This year they have missed only
one game, Santa Clara, because it
was on a Wednesday night."
Saturday, Sept. 24. they watched
Gregersen play against BYU in
what she described as the biggest
win of her career.
"We've never beaten them
(BYU). They usually beat us in
three games." Gregersen said.
In that game, she notched 64 assists in a five set victory over the
Cougars.
Unlike some athletes, Gregersen
did not have a love of her sport
since birth.
"I didn't pick up a volleyball until my freshman year of high
school," Gregersen said.
She went on to explain her ulterior motive for her beginning a career in volleyball.
"I didn't want to have P.E.,"
Gregersen said. "At my high
school, you didn't have to have
P.E. if you played a sport, so I
chose volleyball."
"I didn't play in a single game
that year. But my sophomore year
I made the J.V team and played."
Gregersen made the varsity team
her junior and senior years.
She was the starting setter those
two years at Dos Pueblos and was
named all-county in her senior
year.

Bulldogs move to 4th
INSIGHT
The Fresno State soccer team
moved up one notch to No. 4 in the
ISAA National Collegiate Soccer poll
Monday.
The Bulldogs finished another 2-0
week by defeating, then No. 15, Santa
Clara and San Jose State. The Bulldogs, who are now 9-1, extended their
winning streak to nine games, breaking the school record eight-game winning streak set in 1986.
The 'Dogs and Steve Patterson
needed overtime in their 1-0 win at
Santa Clara. Patterson scored the win
ning goal at 97:48 off a throw-in from
sophomore midfielder Kyle Berger.
Sunday the Bulldogs returned home
to meet San Jose State (7-2) in their
Mountain Division Conference
opener.
It was the 25th meeting for the two
teams since 1971. Fresno State now
holds a 18-6-1 lead in the series with
14 of the wins coming on shutouts.
Patterson was again instrumental in
the win scoring the first goal with assists from Marc Rohrer and Mike
Matsen.
"I could see the play developing,"
said Patterson.
"No one was flanking me and I got
off a good shot"
San Jose State later scored to tie the
game at 1-1 when Jason Martinez
headed a free, kick just over the reach
of Bulldog goaltender David Kramer.
With just under 10 minutes left in
the game Mark Foster assisted Brian
Johnson on a goal which gave Fresno
State the lead for good.
This week the Bulldogs travel to
Oregon State and Washington. The
Beavers are 7-1-1. having lost only
to Cal State-Northridge. Washington
is 2-5-1.

Volleyball 1-1 on road
INSIGHT
The Fresno State Volleyball team
ended this weekend's road trip with
a victory over Texas El Paso in a
Western Athletic Conference
matchup. The Bulldogs were led by
Roseanne Brown with 18 kills, 6 total blocks and 7 digs. Trisha Tuley
suffered a sprained ankle on Friday
night but bounced back to add 16 kills
and a team high 20 digs against
UTEP. Brenda Gregersen had her second largest assist total of the season
with 69 to go along with 5 blocks and
10 digs. Gregersen set a school record
eirlier in the season against Cal State
Sacramento with 82 assists in a five
game match. As a team, the Bulldogs
tallied a season high 25 block assists
to improved their record to 11 -5 over-
all, 3-1 in conference.
The Bulldogs out numbered the
Miners in kills, 77 to 58. jumping to
a 10-0 lead in the first game. But the
lead was squandered as the Miners
rallied lo score lOpointsoflheirown.
The game of runs and streaks continued in the third game as the Bulldogs
rallied for five straight points to take
the game 15-12. Fresno State continued the run into the fourth and final
game, jumping out to 9-1 lead that the

ings like. 'What if I look dumb' or
'I'm embarrassed.'"
Quan's philosophy is to have the
mind of a child, where you are free to
make decisions and not be encumbered by all the excess baggage.
"If we, as adults can do that more
often, we can do so much more with
our lives," said Quan. "It makes you
feel good knowing that great things
they might do with their lives and that
in a way you kind of helped shaped
them and hopefully set them on a
good path, she said.
A common stereotype for students
who come to learn karate is saying
that they want to have a black belt
When this happens, Quan said she
simply takes off her belt and gives it
to the person. "Here, does that change
you?" She asks. "Does that change
me?"
The way Quan sees it is, all the belt
docs is hold one's uniform together
while it shows one's achievement
level. She said that people have the
knowledge, but need to have something physical.
"If you are a good person on the inside, you're still a good person,
whether you have material things or
not," said Quan. "We try to develop
the person, not the outside things."
Most students learn karate for self-
defense, but Quan adds that the most
important self-defense you can have
is a good head.
"Anybody can kick and punch, but
your head is the best weapon," said
Quan explaining the strength and
limitation of karate.
"You may train for years and years,
but that doesn't mean you're not going to get shot or stabbed."
Miners could not recover from.
The Bulldogs are 9-1 this season
when it has more kills than its opponent Overall, the 'Dogs have 89 more
kills than its opponents in the sixteen
games played thus far.
On Friday night the Bulldogs fell
to the 17th ranked New Mexico Lo-
bos, 15-8,15-6.15-6 in Albuquerque.
The WAC rival Lobos had 15 more
kills and 9 more blocks than the 'Dogs
in the three game match.
The Bulldogs continue WAC play
on the road on Friday, October 7th
against San Diego State then play out
of conference against William and
Mary on Sunday, October 9.
Parking
Continued from Page 6
The change was made because of
the reduced need for parking in that
area by faculty and staff with the
opening of the Education Building
last spring.
For the same reason, student parking in lot C, at the southeast edge of
campus, was cut by five rows.
Although the additional row for students in lot K was designated last
spring, the curbs were not repainted
to reflect the change until summer.
The delay was due to the limited
number of the university's painting
crew and the requirement for the department to go through a time-consuming bidding process in hiring outside painters, Mastropoalo said.
Tickets mistakenly issued at that
time to students parking in the yellow cuabed spaces were dismissed,
Mastropoalo said.
NFL: Week 6
INSIGHT
Week five's forecast was nearly
dead on, as the Swami correctly
picked three of the four games. The
Forty-Niners vs. Eagles game is the
only blemish of the season thus far.
The Swami was unaware that Philadelphia was the hottest team in the
NFL, joining the Cowboys and Giants for first place in the NFC East
Don't be surprised if the Eastern division represents the NFC in the Super Bowl for the fifth time in as many
seasons.
So far. the AFC is a little less defined and therefore a bit more exciting. Teams such as New England,
Indianapolis. Cleveland, Seattle and
San Diego are making a bid to dethrone Buffalo as the AFC's Super
Bowl representative. Of course, San
Diego remains the last unbeaten team
in the NFL.
As for week six, the Swami enters
with a confident mark of 7-1 straight
up but needs to improve on his record
against the spread where he is 5-3.
TOUGH CALL: Kansas City (3-
1) at San Diego (4-0). The Chargers
return home for only the second time
this season with a perfect record, but
their homecoming may be spoiled by
the Chiefs. Though the Chiefs failed
to score in their home loss to the Rams
last week, some of the letdown may
have been due to the teams emotional
win over the 49ers in the Joe vs. Steve
game. The Chargers have already
beaten three division rivals: the Broncos, Seahawks and Raiders. Look for
Montana and the Chiefs to avoid the
clean sweep in a close one.
Chiefs 26, Chargers 23
THE MARSHALL PLAN: Indianapolis (2-3) at New York Jets (2-3).
Marshall Faulk and the Colts have yet
to win on the road but have a perfect
opportunity this week. That's because
the Jets are without starting QB
Boomer Esiason, who is nursing a
sprained ankle. The Colts handed Seattle its second straight loss, while the
Jets have lost three straight after starting 2-0. Faulk and the running attack
gives QB Jim Harbaugh access to a
passing game and an overall balanced
offense. The blitzing Indianapolis defense should give fits to Jets fill in
QB JackTrudeau.
Colts 24, Jets 16
SURE THING: Washington (1-4)
at Philadelphia (3-1). The Eagles
were more than impressive in their
40-8 trouncing of the 49ers last week.
Winners of three straight Philadelphia is the hottest team in the league
and will give the Redskins even more
fits than the Cowboys did in week
five. The Swami swallows his words
of last week involving Phily's rush
attack, saying, "The lack of a iinnl.ig
game will hurt the Eagles." Hello
Charlie Gamer. I won't doubt you
again.
Eagles S5, Redskins 8
UPSET: Denver (0-4) at Seattle (3-
2). Just as Arizona desperately
needed a win in last weeks upset game
against the Vike's, the Broncos need
one this week against the Seahawks.
The worst start in Denver history has
El way and company hungry for a win.
They'll have to do it on the road
against a stingy Seattle team that has
allowed only 70 points in five games.
That's only, what 14 points a game?
Elway has had an interception re-
turned for a touchdown in three of the
four games this season. Look for
Elway to throw a few picks, but none
for touchdown returns, to avoid defeat.
