Team USA can't imagine itself without the girls from Margie Wright's Doghouse. Sept. 5.5:20a.m. (Central Daylight Time) is a moment lour former Fresno State players and one current Bulldog will never forget. This was the lime of the announcement of Ihe first Olympic softball team's members. Six women from Wright's teams, both past and present. Tuley, Nalbandian take over spotlight ♦Diana Nalbandian and Tricia Tuley have already won tournament MVP honors and the Bulldogs are 8-0 bv Robbie Miner StaffWriler In football, the sside recciserscan make the quarterback look like as'tar In basketball, lhe point guard feeds the other players easy baskets. In baseball, a pitching masterpiece may appear lo be solely accrcditc to the pitcher, but the catcher, who calls the pitches, mas deserve equ. redit. The QB. point guard and pitcher may be thc glory positions in thc respective sports. But in volleyball, the offensive local point, the setter, shadowed. Last year at Fresno Stale. Brcnda Grcgcrsen was the exception.

If she | doesn't break the career record this season, she will undoubtedly do t year. As Coach Lindy Visas explains, though, there's more to Tuley s game than just digs. "If Tricia can just have a good hitting night for us. she will hase really contributed, because she does so much." \ is a- -aid "She hits, she plavs defense and she's an excellent passer." Tuley led the Bulldogs vv idi 3.98 kills per game in 1994. Alter a year of playing on thc same floor as Gregerscn. the two grew more dmstincl widi I each others' sty lc of play. Now another one of Gregersen's weapons has I stepped up and shown that it's hcr turn to enjoy some of thc spotlight. Through eight matches this season, the sophomore sensation is averaging 5.24 kills per game and 3.38 digs/game. Diana Nalbandian was highly touted during her senior season at Tulare I High in 1993. Visas knew shc had something special m Nalbandian. but | was also aware that it took time to adjust to Div tsion I volleyball. "We recruited her for her exceptional athletic ability." Vivas said.
