Faculty union asks Castro to ‘be bold’ in contract talks

By Jesse Franz

@JesseOfTheNews Fresno State faculty packed into the lobby of President Joseph Castro’s office Wednesday calling on him to “be bold” and put pressure on California State University administrators to adopt a new collective-bargaining agreement.

The faculty, represented by the California Faculty Association, are pushing for an agreement that would guarantee increases in salaries and harsher limits on workload requirements. The contract which they are currently operating under expired in June.

“Both you and the [CSU] chancellor have said you understand that faculty have been dealing with unhealthy and an unfair salary situation under increased workload,” said Dr. Diane Blair, the CFA’s Fresno chapter president and a communications professor, addressing

Castro on behalf of the group.

“The issue is the degree to which the CSU is willing to step up and put money on the table that will have a real impact and put us back on the right track in terms of salary for faculty.”

Prior to marching to Castro’s office, the CFA held a rally in front of the Kennel Bookstore. About 60 faculty members gathered to hear speeches by instructors.

“I’m angry that while administrative salaries are through the roof, or at least reach the fourth floor of the library, faculty salaries are in the basement,” said Dr. Benjamin Boone, a Fresno State music professor. “If we’re (faculty) in the basement, staff salaries are in the subterranean parking garage.”

Boone, a recipient of the Provost’s Award and runner-up for the President’s Award at Fresno State, was critical of the current pay scale for professors at the

University and county public health officials are urging 133 Fresno State students and five professors who may have been exposed to tuberculosis by a female student to get tested for the disease.

The student, whose identity was not released, was diagnosed with active tuberculosis after visiting the Student Health Center “in the last couple of weeks,” said David Luchini, the assistant director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health.

The campus community was notified of the reported case in an email sent out Thursday morning.

The Sociology Department held an event yesterday not just for students, but the transgender community in Fresno as well.

Karen Adell Scot, a transgender woman and activist who teaches at Yosemite High School in Oakhurst, spoke on Thursday to give students a peek into the tough transition and challenges she and others face every day.

“Gender dysmorphia is a real issue. 42 percent of [transgender] attempt suicide,” Scot said.

Dr. Linda Vang, a sociology professor, discussed her first encounter with Scot and the importance of the event.

“Every year I have a panel of students who are transgender,” she said.

“One of them mentioned having Scot as a teacher in

KAREN ADELL SCOT high school and suggested her to me.”

“People identify themselves in many ways and it’s important for people to know that.”

Scot told the audience as she has felt like a woman for as long as she could remember, about eventually

CLIMATE CHANGE One-

AFFECTS US ALL Finger Troy Pope @darktroy

Global climate change is melting the ice caps, threatening species with extinction and dramatically altering the seasons. This is terrible; it’s 90 degrees in October. What does this mean for us? The most important result is we’re losing the cold-weather beer season.

It’s autumn. The temperature is supposed to drop, and we’re supposed to make the switch to darker beers. The shelves are packed with unopened dark delights. Stouts, both coffee and chocolate, and porters, both pumpkin and vanilla.

In Fresno, we suffer from the lack of seasons. Summer consumes us most of the year, with the other season maintaining a minor footnote.

For us, summer stretches from February to November.

The so-called spring season immediately ramps up temperatures from the 60s and 70s, right to the 90s.

Fall used to begin in Sep-

tember, but now in October, we’re still teetering in the high 80s to mid 90s.

For the science deniers who live in cold climates, they need to move to Fresno or to some other blighted city, so they can come to grips with the reality of climate change.

We’re getting to the point at which we’ll begin to tell our children about the legend of rain. We’ll draw antiquated maps circa “Water World” to where this mythical water is said to fall from the sky.

Sitting on the back porch, drinking an ice-cold stout and watching the rain fall has become a thing of the past. The gray skies have disappeared and been replaced with constant clear skies.

The best way to enjoy these beers is not on a hot day. The only way to fake it is to shut the blinds and crank up the air conditioner.

North Coast Brewing Company has a delightful little stout called Old Rasputin. This immensely popular brew is sweet enough for people weary of beer, and strong and complex

enough for beer enthusiasts.

It’s 9 percent alcohol by volume and tastes like a chocolate-covered espresso bean. It pours really dark, and you’ll feel good about it whether you’re a fanboy of beer or not.

There are so many delicious beers to enjoy this time of year, but the weather hasn’t caught up. So everyone do a rain dance and hope for the best.

For now, warm-weather beers are always available. You

can get your IPAs, lagers and ales and sit in the heat under your umbrella avoiding skin cancer.

I’ll soon be curled up in front of my fireplace screen saver, enjoying some Fireside Chats from 21st Amendment, pretending that skies are overcast by clouds and there’s a cold wind blowing outside.

We need to do something about climate change. Please, think of the beer.

Super Fun Super Run for local causes

By Jodi Parkinson @Jodi_Parkinson

Darlene Wendels • The Collegian

A crowd of about 60 Fresno State faculty members, represented by the California Faculty Association, march down the Free Speech Area on Wednesday on their way to university president Joseph Castro’s fourth-floor office in the Henry Madden Library.

Faculty union asks for swift action UNION from Page 1 university.

“I have the distinction of being the first in a tidal wave of profoundly underpaid, newly promoted full professors,” he said. “This didn’t happen because I’m a slouch. This didn’t happen because I am lazy.”

The CFA also garnered around 250 signatures on a letter to the president asking him to use his power to either put pressure on the CSU administration to accept the union’s proposal, or bridge the gap between the CSU’s and CFA’s proposals with funds from Fresno State’s budget.

“This was another opportunity to hear their voices and what’s important to them, and it’s been consistent about fair pay,” Castro said. “I understand that and support that.”

Castro also pointed to the $1.2 million set aside for a salary-equity program at Fresno State, saying that it’s “the largest single investment in our budget this year.” That money though cannot be accessed until a new agreement is finalized.

This money could be used to boost the pay of some professors hired during the recession at lower pay than professors currently being hired.

He also said that he is “cautiously optimistic” a new agreement will be reached soon and that it will start a “new chapter” at Fresno State.

“I believe that each side is committed to resolving this agreement, and it’s my understanding that there is a general framework,” Castro said. “That is a really good sign.”

Blair shared his sentiment saying, “We are cautiously hopeful a tentative agreement can be reached.”

But she added, “Of course, we’ve been cautiously hopeful each time the bargaining teams have met these past 10 months.”

Fresno State’s Sports Psychology Club is preparing for a super weekend.

The club is hosting its Super Fun Super Run at 8 a.m. Saturday near the North Gym in which participants are encouraged to dress up as their favorite superhero.

The club said the “super” theme is intended to bring awareness to two causes -- the Way of Life Sports Foundation for adults and kids with special needs and Melissa Carleton, a Fresno social worker and marriage and family therapist who fell into a coma six months ago after suffering a seizure.

Way of Life hosts a local co-ed baseball team, but its baseball equipment was stolen from its equipment storage unit. The first 50 participants who bring new or used baseball hats, bats or gloves will receive a free T-shirt.

Half of the 5K run’s proceeds will support Carleton’s recovery from the coma.

“As a family, we believe that people who practice goodness will receive back the same goodness,” said Carleton’s father, Fresno State history professor Dr. John Farrell.

“That is true for Melissa, and it will be true for all those who contribute to the Fun Run in any way.”

Farrell will be on Mary Castro’s KFSR 90.7 show Sunday morning and will make an appearance at the run.

Lacey Escamilla, Sport Psychology Club president, said club members are excited to have the run on campus and will be decked out in their superhero attire.

“The theme comes in, because we think these two groups are superheroes,” Escamilla said.

Dr. Dawn Lewis, the Sport Psychology Club’s adviser and a kinesiology professor, said the club members and students started off with the idea of using the run to raise funds for their club.

Plans changed, and the club decided to use Saturday’s run as a fundraiser for community causes.

“I can’t ask for anything better from my students,” Lewis said.“It’s really so in line with our university’s mission for community service and community support. Sometimes, it’s not that we do big things; it’s little things.”

The club will provide light snacks like apples, oranges and water during the run.

Those interested can like the Facebook event page set up for the Super Fun Super Run. There is also a “Support Melissa Carleton” Facebook page and a Way of Life webpage.

Participants can register on active.com or come on Saturday starting at 6:30 a.m. and register for $20.

GROUP REPRESENTING CONSUMERS GET WIN

No wings? Red Bull settles class-action lawsuit for $13M

By Colby Tibbet @Robotmilk

If you’ve ever consumed a Red Bull energy drink and it failed to give you “wings,” you might be able to get some cash back.

A group of consumers of the product won a class-action lawsuit against the company, arguing

that claims that Red Bull increases concentration and reaction speeds -- and the slogan “Red Bull Gives You Wings” -- were false advertising, resulting in a $13 million settlement.

If any consumer has purchased a Red Bull since 2002, you can file a claim to receive two options, a

Workers of Corn in a cup grill corn at the fair on Wednesday.

By Megan Ginise @SimplyMeg13

This year, the 2014 Big Fresno Fair continues its tradition of providing fine food at affordable prices. As per fair etiquette, there’s a little bit of something for everyone with food booths ranging from Mexican, Asian, Chinese, Indian, Greek and Italian.

Traditional fair favorites include the famous giant batch of crisp, golden-brown curly fries, Country Fair Cinnamon Rolls and every assorted form of corndog, hot dog, hamburger, funnel cake and deepfried concoction imaginable.

Yet there are also new refreshing surprises at the fair, including alligator, deepfried Kool-Aid and the Chicken Waffle Taco from Pepe’s Mariscos. The fair hosts a plethora of food that in most cases cannot be found anywhere else in Fresno. For the local foodies to those who simply crave something new, fair food is a great alternative to what is offered in the Fresno area.

Here are the top 10 must-haves for this year:

1. Artichoke Sandwich:

A steak sandwich atop fried artichoke hearts, garlic, mayo, cucumber and alfalfa sprouts from Jeanne’s Artichokes. A light, yet equally hearty sandwich that keeps you moving throughout the day.

2. Corn (portable corn):

Grilled corn in a cup from the Giant Corn Stalk located at the heart of the fairgrounds.

3. Chicken Skewers:

Garlic BBQ chicken skewers from Garlicky’s for the BBQ and spice lovers.

4. Family-owned lemonade:

Freshly squeezed lemonade from a man inside a lemon, Fresh Lemonade Squeeze offers a cup of lemonade 15 years in the making.

Teddy Archer and his family have owned the stand for over 15 years and continue their tradition of serving hand-squeezed lemons, from their hands to yours.

It’s a great squeeze to beat the 90-degree-plus heat called home.

5. Bierocks:

now accepting applications SJCL admitS StudentS of any raCe, CoLor, and nationaL or ethniC origin.

A traditional German dish not known to many, but worth a try. The beef and cabbage filled pocket pastry is perfect for those on

the go, located at the bierock stand across from the Brian I. Tatarian Grandstand.

6. From Paris with love:

Assorted crepe spreads with fruit, syrup and a slathering of Nutella to top it off from Planet Crepes is a singular sweet treat apart from the traditional fair churros.

7. Carnivore friendly:

For the meat lovers out there, burgers the size of your face are a welcome sight from Good Ol’ Burgers, boasting a half pound Monster Burger that fills stomachs faster than any other.

Top it off with some fried pig skins from the adjoining booth, and let your taste buds melt into submissive bliss.

8. Alligator:

Yes, that’s right: alligator meat. One of the best-kept secrets from the Big Fresno Fair, the Southern Comfort Kitchen provides some of the tastiest southern food options available in Fresno.

Born from a New Orleans family of brothers who set out for California to start a catering business in the Bay Area, The Southern Comfort Kitchen boasts products not seen or sourced anywhere within the Central Valley.

With gators from Georgia and fish from Louisiana, Southern Comfort is authentic at its roots, and makes for a well-spiced, tasty treat from three brothers “who just love making southern food.”

9. Miniature Crab Cakes:

If you are in need of some surf amongst all the turf of the Central Valley, Sharky’s five-star catering hits the spot for all things fish: Lobster corn dogs, shark bites, and the new fair favorite, miniature crab cakes that are both light and filling, add the perfect crunch to your bite.

10. The Willamette Valley Pie Company:

The one must-have item at the fair?

Forrest Berry Cobbler from the Willamette Valley Pie Company.

The company, which started in Salem, Oregon, made its way down the West Coast with exquisite family-owned pies and cobblers, filled with some of the best fruit available.

Marionberry, rhubarb and blueberry in a recipe that might just be better than your grandmother’s, it’s what server Michael Compton calls “crack in a bowl” for how sinisterly, delectably addicting it is.

Snoop Dogg leaves his Movie Review: ‘The Judge’ mark at the Big Fresno Fair The verdict is in: Robert Downey, Jr.’s usual charisma saves legal drama

By Yvette Mancilla @yvette_mancilla

Darlene Wendels • The Collegian

Multiplatinum artist, actor and rapper Snoop Dogg packed a full house in The Paul Paul Theater at the 2014 Big Fresno Fair on Wednesday night. Dogg performed most of his popular hits such as “Gin & Juice,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “Young, Wild and Free,” and many more.

Dogg also adorned a Fresno Grizzlies jersey during the concert.

Can’t wait for Robert Downey, Jr. to return as Sherlock Holmes or Iron Man? Then “The Judge” is the right filler movie for you.

Downey’s niche as a slick, fasttalking, arrogant anti-hero with a heart of gold comes in the form of a big city lawyer who helps white collar criminals beat the law.

After his mother’s death, Hank Palmer (Downey) returns home to Indiana, and despite only planning to stay overnight, he finds himself having to defend his authoritarian, curmudgeonly father, Judge Joseph Palmer (Robert Duvall). When Joseph is accused of killing a tried criminal in a hit-andrun and his memory of the incident is hazy, Palmer and Joseph find themselves working out their decades-long estrangement.

Now, herein lies the problem of the film: its predictability. The father-son, city versus country trope has been beaten to death, and although this version features a host of admirable actors, it fails to give them a chance to shine as anything other than their contrived characters.

Oscar-nominee Vera Farmiga, is unfortunately miscast as the Hollywood throwaway character, the hometown girlfriend in whom Hank finds solace.

My heart sank when I saw this tremendous actress in the schlocky role (just look to her work in “Bates Motel” and “The Departed”). Billy Bob Thornton

is the vital foe in the courtroom for Downey to exchange sharp wit and legal jargon with, and that’s about all he does. He’s in and he’s out. Dax Shepard (better known as Kristen Bell’s other half) doesn’t stray far from as the puppy-eyed country bumpkin lawyer.

Joseph Palmer’s legal situation is not the heart of the film and its resolution is not what keeps the agonizingly long film going. The case serves as a stimulus for the father and son to rebuild their relationship. Aside from Hank’s adorably honest daughter (Emma Tremblay), seeing the duo go at one another and then come together in light of Joseph’s cancer revelation drives the film.

Downey’s character loses momentum when in forgettable scenes with his two brothers, both of whom are painted in broad strokes, the older and responsible Glenn (Vincent D’Onforio) and the dim-witted Dale (Jeremy Strong).

Despite the film’s shortcomings, (too many screensaver shots of Indiana’s cornfields), Downey’s talent is good to see outside of the Marvel suit. A point I’m guessing Downey and his wife Susan were trying to make as the movie’s executive producers.

“The Judge” provides enough emotional carnage about justice, parents and their wayward children to satisfy most audience members. So much so, in fact, I’m a tad bit worried that movie-goers may exaggerate the film’s real value.

“Red Bull settled the lawsuit to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation,” the company said in a statement. “However, Red Bull maintains that its marketing and labeling have always been truthful and accurate and denies any and all wrongdoing or liability.”

While it’s biologically impossible for humans to “grow wings,” advertising and marketing have different rules when trying to sell a product. If a notion is asserted, it must be fulfilled, said Dr. William Rice, a Fresno State marketing professor.

“If it sounds false to the ‘common man,’ like ‘grows wings,’ no one would really think that or accept it,” Rice said. “But if the average ‘stupid person’ who doesn't think about things and assumes everything at face value, then avoid making these people going crazy with some off-the-wall message.

“Don't say it if 10 percent or more of the people might believe it is true, and you cannot produce such results or prove it is possible.”

Rice said if a company is presented with a claim of false advertising, there is a simple solution: “Get a good lawyer that understands ‘common man’ perspective and do your research to show that the lawsuit is bogus,” he said.

“Imagine being on the beach,” Scot said, “Then you’re in the water, and suddenly hundreds of waves are crashing down on you. You struggle to get out, but it continues to keep you down.”

Following a video in which she

"I feel there is momentum in your generation for a great deal of acceptance, and I see it in my classroom."

— Dr. Linda Vang, Fresno State sociology professor documented her surgical procedures, Scot described her transitional journey and how she caught the attention of media outlets from all over the world.

“People believe it to be selfish, and we don’t act the way they think we should,” she said. “We are who we are, and it’s tough for people to understand that.”

Although many continue to struggle in transitioning, Vang said she believes in this generation of students and regards it as being more open and accepting than gen-

erations before.

“I feel there is momentum in your generation for a great deal of acceptance, and I see it in my classroom,” Vang said.

Vang hoped the event left a lasting impression on students and others who attended. She described the event as following the school’s model of “diversity, discovery and distinction.”

“What I hope is they’ll understand the transgender continuum of gender, understanding acceptance of people for how they identify themselves,” shesaid. “There may be a time where they’ll work in society with transgender people. The more they understand, the more effective they will be.”

Scot has established a national organization known as TransCare, which supports transgender people in the stress of the transition process. Transgender Day of Remembrance, on Nov. 20, also memorializes those who have been killed as a result of transphobia.

“No matter what I went through, it was because I wanted to do it,” Scot said. “I’m finally making myself right.”

TB CASE from Page 1 dents, faculty and staff,” the email read.

A separate email was sent out to the students and faculty who may have come in close contact with the woman advising them to take a skin test to determine whether or not they have contracted the disease.

The skin test, which will be given for free at the health center on four different dates, is administered in two steps that will require the students and faculty to return at a later date for results to be read.

Luchini said tuberculosis cases at Fresno State have been rare – this marks the first active case since 2001.

Currently, 41 people in Fresno County have active cases of tuberculosis, Luchini said, though that number has decreased from about 120 reported cases a decade ago.

“We’ve really worked hard to identify those who are in close contact with active TB cases,” Luchini said.

Tuberculosis is treatable and is contracted by bacteria spread from person to person through the air. Symptoms include fever, coughing blood, feeling of weakness and night sweats.

The easiest form of prevention is to simply avoid contact with others.

“If you feel sick, if you have a fever, try to stay home,” Luchini said. “Don’t go to class.”

The Fresno State women’s volleyball team endured a tough match in Laramie, Wyoming, that ended in a sweep by the Wyoming Cowgirls.

The 25-9, 25-15 and 25-8 set losses bring the Bulldogs to 6-13 this season and 1-4 in conference play. The Cowgirls improved their record to 3-3 in the Mountain West.

Senior middle blocker Maci Murdock led the team with six kills in the game. But with nine errors in 21 total attacks, she finished the evening with a -.143 hit percentage. Outside hitter Zana Bowens only had two kills and ended with a -.429 mark.

For Wyoming, it had two players with nine kills apiece: junior outside hitter Bridget Shanahan and sophomore outside hitter Kayla Slofkiss. Both finished first and second on the team in hitting percentage, respectively -- .600 for Shanahan and .421 for Slofkiss.

The Cowgirls dominated Set 1 and went on a 14-0 run before Fresno State spiked its first kill by Bowens. The Bulldogs tried to stay within the game and scored three consecutive points, but Wyoming was able to score the points it needed to win the set

by a large margin.

The Bulldogs began Set 2 on a higher note, staying within two points from Wyoming, until it pulled away with separate 3-0, 2-0 and 4-0 runs. A service error by Cowgirls freshman Dani Westfall gave the ‘Dogs double-digit points for the first time in the contest. A block by Wyoming setter Courtney Chacon sent both teams into the half.

After the intermission, Fresno State freshman Carly Scarbrough smacked in the first kill, but the Cowgirls would capitalize from Bulldog attack errors. Afterward, the match went evenly. The teams went back and forth. The Bulldogs came within six (13-7), before Wyoming went on a 12-1 run to finish the game.

The loss brings the Bulldogs to a 10-13 all-time record against the Cowgirls. Last year, the teams split matchups, with Fresno State winning 3-0 at Laramie and dropping its home match 3-1.

Saturday, the ‘Dogs will play 66 miles south in Fort Collins, Colorado, against the Colorado State Rams. The No. 7-ranked Rams beat the UNLV Rebels 3-1 to remain undefeated in conference play.

Fresno State will stay on the road next week against Utah State and Boise State. Its next home game will be on Oct. 23 against the San Diego State Aztecs.

The Fresno State football team (3-3, 2-0 Mountain West) will seek to win its fourth-straight game when it goes on the road to take on UNLV (1-5, 0-2 MW) Friday in a West Division battle.

The Rebels come into the game seeking to snap their four-game losing streak and get their season back on track.

The Bulldogs stand in first place in the West Division, while UNLV now is stuck in last place after losing its last four contests. Its only win of the year came in the Week 2 one-point victory over Northern Colorado, a Football Championship Subdivision opponent.

“We’re playing a team that has struggled a little bit, but it’s a team that is wellcoached,” Fresno State head coach Tim DeRuyter said. “I have a ton of respect for Bobby Hauck and his staff. We know that they’re going to be coming out fighting for their lives this week.

“We’re going to have to do what we’ve done the last few weeks and that is improve in order for us to go on the road and get another conference win. We’re excited about the opportunity to get better this week.”

UNLV’s quarterback situation is similar to what Fresno State’s was earlier this season with both quarterbacks splitting

reps. Blake Decker and Nick Sherry have been behind center. Decker has received a majority of the reps, passing for 1,300 yards and five touchdowns on the year.

Sherry’s stats include 9-of-29 for 78 yards.

Wide receiver Devante Davis headlines the Rebels’ offense and is their most explosive target. The senior is capable of stretching the field and making things tough for secondaries. Injuries have limited the 6-foot-3, 215-pound wideout’s season statistics to 17 catches for 286 yards and two touchdowns. Even though his status is questionable, he is one of the best skill players in the conference and one who must be accounted for.

The Rebels’ run game features backs Keith Whitely and George Naufahu..

They have racked up 299 and 210 yards, respectively and a touchdown apiece.

“We’re going to have our hands full with their offense,” Bulldogs defensive coordinator Nick Toth said. “They can go up and get the deep ball. They’re committed to throwing the ball and they have a decent running game.

“Their running backs run hard, and schematically they spread you out. We have to make sure that the ball doesn’t go over our heads, and that we have multiple guys around those big receivers when they’re going up for the ball.”

UNLV’s defense likes to pay manto-man to try to impose its physicality

on receivers. Fresno State senior wideout and captain Josh Harper said that in order to put up big numbers like last year, they must beat man coverage and block well against it when running the ball.

In last season’s 38-14 victory, the Bulldogs’ offense chalked up over 600 yards of total offense against UNLV and feels it has the firepower to do it again this year.

“We’re still running the same scheme,” Harper said. “It all comes down to execution. So if we’re able to execute, I feel like we can put up the same numbers [as last year].”

After dropping the first three contests this year to Power Five opponents, the Bulldogs have bounced back and won their most recent three against Southern Utah and Mountain West rivals New Mexico and San Diego State to get back to .500.

“The spirit in the locker room is up a little bit more,” Harper said. “We’re now in the conference part of our schedule, and we’re undefeated in conference play.

Our goals are still ahead of us.

“Everybody knows that, and everybody sees that, and we’re just taking it one game at a time.”

Kickoff for the West Division matchup is set for 7 p.m. at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The game will be televised on the CBS Sports Network.

The Fresno State equestrian team was ranked No. 8 in the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA), and two Bulldogs were named NCEA Riders of the Month for September this week.

Sophomore Taylor Brown won the honor in the reining category and freshman Rachel Williams in horsemanship.

Brown was undefeated in the Willis Invitational in Waco, Texas, against Baylor, Southern Methodist University (SMU) and University of Tennessee-Martin on Sept. 26-27. She averaged a score of 68.7 and defeated her opponents by an average of 1.8 points. She also received two Most Outstanding Player awards.

She was named last week’s Fresno State Sysco Student-Athlete of the Week.

“We could not be more proud of Taylor’s success,” said Fresno State interim head coach Eric Hubbard. “We are looking forward to her leadership and consistency in reining this year.”

Williams also rode undefeated in the Willis Invitational and earned her first two collegiate points against Baylor and SMU. Her average score was a 68.75.

“I am happy for Rachel, as she has stepped up to the plate and filled big shoes left by those that graduated last year,” Hubbard said. “She has ridden with focus and determination in practice, which has shown in the competition arena.”

Fresno State will be at Las Cruces, New Mexico, today and Saturday to compete against New Mexico State and a rematch against Tennessee-Martin.

On Nov. 7, the ‘Dogs return home to host the University of South Carolina.

Soccer: Banta earns MW honor Fresno State goalkeeper Domenique Banta was named the Mountain West Player of the Week last Monday for games played from Oct. 3-5.

The freshman stopped six shots over the weekend, leading the Bulldogs to a pair of conference wins over UNLV and Nevada. That improved Fresno State’s record to 2-2 in conference play this season.

Last Friday, Banta had three saves against the UNLV Rebels. That led to the ‘Dogs’ first shutout and win of the season. In the double-overtime marathon victory against Nevada, Banta had three saves in 102 minutes played.

In her first season at Fresno State, Banta has made seven starts. She has a total of 29 saves in 617 minutes.

This is the first time the Bulldogs have earned an MW weekly award in the 2014 season as well as Banta’s first career honor.

After earning a pair of road wins, the `Dogs continue conference play on the road at Boise State today then Utah State on Sunday.
