he California Senate took one step closer to transforming the way sexual assault is treated on college campuses Thursday, passing the “yes-meansyes” bill that will require students engaging in sexual activity to give unambiguous, affirmative consent.

Amid the current national discussion being pushed by the Obama administration to address the problem of rape on campuses, Gov. Jerry Brown has until Sept. 30 to sign the bill. If signed, California would be the first state to introduce such legislation.

If the legislation is adopted, a new standard will replace the previous standard of “no-meansno,” which put the responsibility on the victim verbalizing they did not want to engage in sexual activity.

Under the “yes-means-yes” bill, formally named SB 967, both parties would need to give affirmative consent – a standard that does not include a person remaining silent, lacking resistance or giving consent while intoxicated.

“It’s more about bringing to light the need for people – not males, for people – to understand the concept of consent,” said Dr. Gregory Thatcher, a Fresno State professor in public health.

While acknowledging the bill has the right intentions, Thatcher said monitoring and enforcing the legislation would be difficult.

“I hope that every state endorses some formal bill that requires consent to be verbal, because it’s showing that solidarity,” Thatcher said. “But they’re all going to face the same problem.”

Thatcher conducted research on sexual assault using more than 1,000 Fresno State students in a study that was published in the International Electronic Journal of Health Education in 2011.

He said the vast majority of college females fail to come forward because “a lot of them don’t understand that they’ve been sexually assaulted.”

“They know what it is in the outside world.

They don’t know what it is when it’s happened to them,” Thatcher said of sexual assault victims.

“So I think that is part of the intent of the bill, to get people to look at if from ‘my own perspective – did I hear the word yes?’ It’s no longer looking for the ‘no.’”

Thatcher’s study showed 17.9 percent of participants were victims of sexual assault. Of those, 4.2 percent reported they were victims of completed rape.

The Obama administration, which has been using the statistic that 1 in 5 women on college campuses have been sexually assaulted, has sourced its stats from a 2007 study conducted for the Justice Department’s National Institute of Justice.

In that study, 19 percent of women and 6.1 percent of men had experienced attempted or completed sexual assault since entering college.

Of those numbers, 11.1 percent of women and 3.4 percent of men reported being in an incapacitated state and unable to provide consent – either having voluntarily consumed alcohol or drugs, suspected to have been drug-facilitated or been

With the dangers of alcohol poisoning reaching far and wide across most college campuses, alcohol awareness programs such as WATCHDOG, which kickstarted Friday in the Henry Madden Library, are offered at Fresno State to educate students about how to recognize and respond in emergency situations.

Georgianna Negron-Long, health educator and coordinator of WATCHDOG, led the first training session of the fall semester covering various training methods related to alcohol overdose. Training covered CPR techniques, bystander effect, signs of alcohol poisoning and intervention procedures.

The program was launched in 2012 after the alcohol-related death of Phillip Dhanens, a Fresno State freshman who was rushing the Theta Chi fraternity, occurred in Greek housing.

OneFOOTBALL SEASON A goodbye to social norms Finger Salute JESSE FRANZ Editor-in-Chief

Sunday marked the start of a new year. It wasn’t rung in at midnight with champagne, but rather by a 10 a.m. coffee at home, or bloody mary for those who ventured to the nearest sports bar. Ladies and gentlemen,

football is back.

However, after a lifetime of watching season after season of the greatest sport ever to grace the face of the planet (don’t argue with that, just move on, and keep on reading), more than a few things have become apparent.

True football fans change during the season. Morals will become vague, beers will become salted with tears and the non-religious will be in full observance of a Sunday Sabbath.

In preparation, here is a public service announcement about the side effects of football fandom. It’s nothing to be proud of, but you know, football.

1) You will have a hefty bill come Valentines Day. It’s a well-known fact that the amount Americans spend on their February 14th festivities is ridiculous. What people don’t know is that the reason for this is football. While most people attribute it to corporatization, it’s really about making up for lost time.

Football season ends the first weekend of February. Suddenly fans realize that they’ve only seen brief glimpses of

their significant other through a haze of stats and depth charts for the last five months. That lack of attention did not go unnoticed to them. Valentines, though, offers the perfect chance to get back in their good graces.

2) You will become an addict.

As a former smoker, I know how hard it is to overcome nicotine addiction.

That being said, football is a harder addiction for me, and other extreme football fans, to break.

You binge on it on Sunday, putting in a nine-hour shift watching any game you can get your hands on. In a word, it’s glorious. Monday, after a long day of work, you get to come home to a game, satisfying your craving.

But, by Wednesday, you’re fiending for any sort of football you can get your hands on (up to and including a 1983 preseason game between the Cleveland Browns and Los Angles Rams on ESPN Classic). Sure Thursday night games will start a few weeks into the season, but you have to live for the now.

By Friday you’ll take a two-hand touch game between the kids at the local park. Saturday brings some release with college football, but just before you crack, Sunday rolls back around again.

3) You will gain a working knowledge of an obscure Indonesian religion.

Superstition goes with sports like Sarah Palin goes with politics: you don’t know why they’re around, you can’t logically explain them, but they’re a good source of comedy.

Even the most skeptical of football fans will develop one or two practices, ranging from never washing your jersey after a win, to doing a Native American rain dance while eating scolding hot

Top Ramen. Anything that worked once in high school to turn the odds in your teams favor is fair game.

4) You will feel closer to a second-string running back than you do members of your extended family.

This one goes for anyone who plays fantasy football. The game, which admittedly is just a slightly more socially acceptable version of role-playing games that “nerds” have been made fun of for since the beginning of time, distorts your world view.

Once you’re engaged with it, you’ll passionately be watching the Buffalo Bills face-off against the Jacksonville Jaguars, yelling at the television because a wide receiver no one has ever heard of dropped a pass in the endzone.

Indeed, if a no-name player performs for you, you may have an ongoing romance with them in your mind without ever meeting them. I’m looking at you 2013’s Josh McCown.

5) You will get your heartbroken 97 percent of the time.

All things being equal, since there are 32 NFL teams, the chances of your team winning the Superbowl is 3.125 percent.

Unless you’re lucky enough to be raised as a fan of an elite team, or more probable, a bandwagon fan, objectively hoping your team wins a championship is not worth the emotional investment.

But nevertheless, like your first heartbreak that you never quite got over, faithful fans return year after year for another round of probable disappointment chanting the mantra, this could be our year. My hearts go out to you Detroit Lions fans.

Culled each week from discussions in The Collegian newsroom.

THUMBS UP DESTINY: Bungie’s new game finally comes out Tuesday. After their split from Microsoft in 2007, the Halo creators’ have a long-awaited new original title coming out, and it looks like the best thing they’ve ever created.

THUMBS UP JOAN RIVERS’ FUNERAL: Joan is gone, but her funeral was as star-studded as she could have wanted. From Hugh Jackman singing, to Howard Stern referencing her private parts, Joan would have loved the fabulousness and blue humor.

THUMBS DOWN JUSTIN BIEBER: This kid just doesn’t quit. Out of everything he’s been in the news for, what he really shows is that he needs anger management.

Or, he could just stop acting like a child. For being 20 years old, he sure gets into fights with people like he’s in junior high school.

Program promotes safe drinking habits WATCHDOG from Page 1 we wanted to reassess as a campus community what sort of efforts we currently had on campus so we could identify any gaps that might be remaining for additional education and programming,” Negron-Long said.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, about 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries.

The idea for WATCHDOG came from another alcohol prevention program at Stonybrook

University in New York.

“I was brought in to create the WATCHDOG program, but made it more of a home-grown program,” Negron-Long said. “There was a need for more in-depth, educational training here on campus.”

Arcellie Santos, a program assistant and third-year graduate student in public health, said the program doesn’t want to discourage drinking, but rather encourage knowledge and information.

“Letting students know and training them to identify signs of alcohol poisoning is such an important skill since you never know

when you might need it,” Santos said.

Elizabeth Lopez, a program assistant and second-year master’s student in public health, agrees with the importance of students knowing the dangers and signs of alcohol poisoning. She said she saw this as a great opportunity to implement new skills.

Negron-Long also mentioned that as an alcohol-awareness campaign, it’s important to reach out to fraternities and sororities on campus. However, she said it is still the responsibility of the person, not the Greek system, to control their alcohol intake.

“The purpose of fraternities is to enhance college experience; we do know they will throw parties and a lot of times they will be done perfectly safely,” Negron-Long said. “Regardless of age, you still have that choice as a person to be responsible.

“There are legal issues that could get you or other people in trouble and that’s a buzzkill -- no one wants to bother with that.”

Since last year, the program has trained more than 100 students -- including those involved in the Greek system, campus leadership programs and athletics. The program has also teamed up with other alcohol awareness campaigns to heed the message of alcohol poisoning information and prevention.

“The theme that runs through our entire presentation and the programs we have is the idea of helping each other.” Negron-Long said. “We just want to give (students) some tools and information to help save their friends if they have to.”

Sexual assault bill may enforce new programs ASSAULT from Page 1 asleep during the incident.

Thatcher’s research compared three student groups who were exposed to different sexual assault prevention content – one through a theater performance, one through a video presentation and one through controlled group classes.

The results showed those shown the theater performance had a better gauge of whether they had been sexually assaulted or not. For example, five students who reported being sexually assaulted prior to seeing the performance changed their reports to completed rape post-performance.

“Basically, it showed that my program got them to understand what happened to them,” Thatcher said.

Jessica Adams, coordinator of the Women’s Resource Center at Fresno State, said the bill is a good step in putting “more power in everybody’s hands” and shedding light on how consent is perceived.

“I think the goal of this [the bill] is to help everybody not accidently become a perpetrator, or not accidently become a victim,” Adams said.

New programs emerging in light of nationwide push If the bill is signed, it also means all public colleges and institutions, such as the California State University and University of California systems, which receive state funds for student aid, will be required to implement specific policies and protocols.

“The bill would also require the governing boards to implement comprehensive prevention and outreach programs addressing sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking,” the bill states.

Although the likes of the Women’s Resource Center, the Title IX office and the Student Health Center already provide information and support systems for victims of sexual assault, Adams said new initiatives are in the works due to the increased focus from politicians on the federal and state levels.

“It’s something that I’m very happy to see everyone is talking about, it’s very refreshing,” Adams said. “I just want it to stay up, and I want people to keep talking about it.”

One such program that may be introduced by spring semester is HAVEN, a web program focused on sexual assault prevention. Adams said the program could be mandatory for all students and will be completed before they complete spring registration.

Dr. Frank Lamas, vice president for student affairs, said providing educational programs such as HAVEN is a way to make students more aware and create a “campus climate we will all feel positive about.”

In the draft copy of the 201415 Division of Student Affairs Strategic Plan, several strategies are outlined to improve safety and wellness at Fresno State. Areas of focus specified in the draft include bystander intervention, hazing prevention, relationship violence and alcohol and substance abuse.

Lamas, who joined Fresno State this semester, said changes will be made accordingly as he familiarizes himself with the programming already in place.

“Some programs will continue, some may be enhanced, and some may be new,” he said.

Although the sexual assault bill originated through state legislation, Lamas said improving safety and wellness at Fresno State will require partnerships throughout various groups in the university – including the student body.

In order to see how effective certain programs are, Lamas said, “students will also have to weigh in.”

Also recently introduced was sexual assault training during this summer’s Dog Days. Adams said every new student went through the training that featured information about consent and bystander intervention.

Adams said some faculty and staff trainings would be underway in the future.

“A lot of times, students have relationships with professors where they trust them, so when something happens they go to them for help or advice,” Adams said. “Sometimes staff or professors don’t know how to handle that or where to send them, so we’re making an extra effort to try reach out to all faculty and staff so that they know what the resources are here on campus.”

Thatcher, who will be on sabbatical next semester conducting his research in Florida, said more educational programs about sexual assault are needed at Fresno State.

“We do some things that some people would consider programming, but there’s very little,” he said.

However, Thatcher said the effectiveness of programs and the discrepancies between researchers about what causes sexual assault must be kept in mind.

“My personal belief is that it’s miscommunication, but a lot of people disagree with that,” he said.

“You’ve got to be cognizant of the fact there’s not a lot of programming that’s been proven effective,” Thatcher said. “But the school should still be doing more than they’re doing.”

Still underreported Both Thatcher and Adams believe sexual assault at Fresno State is underreported, reflecting the national trend.

“We’re lucky in this department (Women’s Resource Center) that we have a good report with our students,” Adams said.

“I hear a lot of things that might be happening around campus, more than what’s being reported.”

Five reports of forcible sex offenses on campus were made to the Fresno State Police Department in 2012. Statistics for 2013 were not readily made available.

In the discussion about sexual assault amongst college students, Thatcher said it is important to differentiate between on-campus and off-campus assaults when considering the statistics.

“Keep in mind, a lot of those sexual assaults do happen off campus, so campus sexual assault is what happens and is reported on campus, and that needs to be distinguished,” Thatcher said.

“I’ve heard people say police departments don’t do their job,” he said. “That’s absolutely not true. I have a lot of respect for the people who work over there because I know they do they’re best with what they’re given.”

GrubHouse to offer unique food options

By Megan Ginise @SimplyMeg13

Specializing in farm-to-table dining, craft beers and local wines, the new restaurant Guri’s Grubhouse and Taps near the corner of Shaw and Cedar avenues is projected to open this week, taking over the space previously occupied by Fajita Fiesta.

Guri’s GrubHouse, or GrubHouse as it is soon to be known, is named after Fresno County raisin and grape grower Guri Bhangoo, who along with several of his associates in the farming and restaurant communities came together for this gastrological experiment in Fresno.

“Nobody else in Fresno is like us,” said operating partner Aneel Bhangoo. “You don’t hear any other place locally sourcing food from the growers, working with the rural agricultural community, especially in the San Joaquin Valley. We’re full of agriculture here.”

You could throw a rock in any direction and hit a farm, and so with that we are hoping to bring the agricultural community back to Fresno.”

One of the first such restaurants in Fresno, chef Andy Hatcher’s menu focuses on a partnership with local farmers, incorporating fresh products including grapes, peaches, raisins, and almonds. He also plans to evolve his menu accordingly as the seasons change: no tomatoes in winter here.

Hatcher, known locally for his work at Parma, an Italian restaurant in Fresno, described his menu as “California comfort food with a twist, taking really simple things and messing them up.” This includes his own take on grilled cheese, “tachos”, chicken and waffles, as well as lo-

cal favorites like tri-tip, gourmet burgers, sandwiches, and thin crust pizzas.

The GrubHouse will be partnering with Fresno State for several of its products, including salami, sausage, and other cuts from the Fresno State meat processing facility, and will also have a selection of wines from the Fresno State enology department.

“I am excited to see Guri's commitment to local foods and look forward to having a nearby restaurant where enology students can show off their wines,” said Kevin Smith, business and marketing manager at the Fresno State Winery. “We are looking forward to highlighting our wines there.”

Guri, who serves on the Ag One Foundation and is a Fresno State alumnus, is looking forward to the collaboration.

“I am very tied with Fresno State and I want to promote them,” Guri said. “We want to pride and showcase what has grown here in the valley and hope to do that within these four walls here.”

The brew

Review

By Troy Pope @darktroy

Summer is almost over, but it’s still hot enough to make some tasty beer concoctions to beat the heat. It’s simple enough to shop for a good, cold beer, but why not make your evening a little more interesting?

Not all beers are compatible for mixing, but there are some fun things you can do with IPAs, chocolate stouts and lambics.

Here are some simple ideas for things you can do with beers that you wouldn’t normally think of.

The beer-mosa: Everyone has heard of the mimosa, which is champagne mixed with orange juice, but have you heard of the beer-mosa?

For this to work, you’ll need a citrusy beer. Although you could probably get away with using a beer that is deliberately citrusy to the point of lacking the taste of beer, like Lemon Shandy Shock Top, you might not get a true feel of the champagne like you’re used to.

If you like a good, brut champagne in your mimosa, brut being more dry than “extra dry,” then you probably don’t want to use Shock Top or Leinenkugel, both

fruity, lighter beer than most other brands.

To get the effect of a brut champagne, you’ll want to use an IPA or something hoppy.

Now this recipe was made using Firestone’s Easy Jack, but as that was a seasonal beer, it is won’t be available again until next summer. Some good alternatives are Deschutes’ Fresh Squeezed IPA or Knee Deep’s Citra Extra Pale Ale. The Deschutes’ beer is 6.4 percent alcohol by volume, and Knee Deep’s beer 7 percent ABV. These beers are going to be hoppier than they are fruity, hops being what give IPAs and pale ales their intentionally-bitter flavor, and probably be about half of the alcohol content of a champagne, so you might need to compensate by having a higher ratio of beer to orange juice.

A safe, and delightful, ratio is 1-to-1. Six ounces of beer to 6 ounces of orange juice, and then add more beer from there to get the taste you want.

The chocolate-covered raspberry: Framboise, pronounced “fram-bwa,” can be found in the wine, spirits and beer departments, so know what you’re looking for to start with. For this, you want the framboise from the beer department, of course.

Even though it is commonly mispronounced “fram-boys,” framboise is an ex-

tremely popular beer. It is in the “lambic” family, with framboise being the French word for raspberry.

A dessert beer, framboise is extremely sweet and tart, to the point that it might be difficult to drink it in any large quantities.

One of the more popular brands is Lindemans, which weighs in at a tiny 2.5 percent ABV, but there are a couple other brands to choose from.

Another popular dessert beer can be found in the import section of a beer department. Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout is delicious. You might be thinking that chocolate beer sounds disgusting.

You are wrong. It isn’t billed as a dessert beer because it’s terrible, no sir.

At 5 percent ABV, this chocolate stout has more alcohol than a Bud Light or Coors Light, and it is much more rich and flavorful.

Now, it may seem odd to mix two beers together, but when you have some dessert beers, it’s much easier to find a combination that isn’t utterly disgusting.

The framboise is going to be strong, so you probably will want to use more of the chocolate stout. A 1-to-2 ratio or a 2-to-3 ratio in favor of the stout might work best for you. It depends on what you want more of, raspberry or chocolate. So for every ounce of framboise, you’ll want two ounces of chocolate for a 1-to-2 ratio.

You will be pleasantly surprised by how

exquisite this combination will be. Impress your friends by whipping out this combination for dessert.

The beer float: You’ve already been introduced to two dessert beers. Now, how about we make them into an actual dessert?

This one is simple, and you may have even seen these on the menu at Yard House.

The first thing you want to do is fill a large-mouthed glass with vanilla-bean ice cream. Now, here’s the part where you play Sophie’s Choice. What are you in the mood for?

You have two choices here: Lindemans Framboise and Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout. Either work; both are delicious choices for this dessert.

Filling your ice-cream-filled glass with framboise will produce a pink foam in place of the traditional root-beer-float foam, and you’ll have yourself a tasty raspberry float.

If you choose to use the chocolate stout it will look much like a root beer float, but it will taste like chocolate and be amazing.

Yard House uses Young’s Chocolate Stout, but Samuel Smith’s is far superior in terms of flavor.

Either way you decide, you can’t miss. So pour your dessert beer into your ice cream and enjoy an amazing, alcoholic dessert.

Students weigh several factors in deciding where to live during the school year -- nearby options including Campus Edge, University Courtyard, Palazzo, and both Bulldog and University Village.

Destiny Parchment, a junior from Los Angeles who is majoring in food science, chose to live in University Village after spending her freshman year in the dormitories.

Parchment decided on University Village, located on East Barstow Avenue and commonly known as “the UV’s” by students, due to its “easy access to campus and because it’s right behind Bulldog Stadium.”

“My friends and I can walk to games instead of searching for parking,” Parchment said.

Parchment, along with her three roommates, all have their own rooms and bathrooms. They pay $479 per month in rent with most utilities included.

Quentin Smith, a junior from Stockton majoring in business, has lived at Palazzo student housing for two years after spending his freshman year in the dorms.

He believes despite the cost (rent for one room, one bathroom and a monthly parking pass costs about $600 a month, he said), it will be worthwhile once the long-awaited Campus Pointe project is com-

pleted next year.

“I decided to live at the Palazzo because it’s still close to school and the (Student) Recreation Center,” said Smith, who rooms with three other students. “the shopping center is merely a bonus.”

Javier Garcia, a junior from Live Oak who is majoring in enology, touted the comfy confines of on-campus living.

“I like the dorms because everything I need is accessible,” Garcia said. “I can walk to class, the library, the bookstore, and also to my department all within five minutes. And better yet, I can disregard the horrible traffic commute many of my friends face every morning while arriving to school.”

Garcia, who lives in a suitestyle dormitory, pays $550 per month (meals and utilities are included) to share a room with two other students and a bathroom with three additional roommates who live in a separate room.

Jalen Watson, a junior from Visalia majoring in business, chose to live at Bulldog Village because of its proximity to campus, Bulldog Stadium and fast food establishments.

“While most students have to drive to find something to eat, I can step out of my apartment and head right next door to either Taco Bell or Popeyes which the majority of students can’t say that.”

The Fresno State football team once again struggled against Pac-12 competition on Saturday when it squared off against Utah.

The 59-27 defeat marks the Bulldogs’ second loss of the year, matching their 2013 season total.

“Clearly we didn’t get it done again this week,” Fresno State head coach Tim DeRuyter said. “We saw some encouraging things, but clearly not enough to beat a good Utah team, so give them credit.”

The Utes scored 24 unanswered points right off the bat behind quarterback Travis Wilson, who accounted for a career-high five touchdown passes, all coming in his three quarters of play.

Receivers Dres Anderosn and Kenneth Scott posed problems for the Bulldogs in the secondary, as they stretched the field for the Utes and each ended with two touchdown grabs.

Utah’s physical defense limited Fresno State running back Marteze Waller to 61 yards on 15 carries.

The ‘Dogs once again utilized the two-quarterback system testing out both junior Brian Burrell and fifth-year senior Brandon Connette. Burrell started the game, but Connette subbed in early in the second quarter after the ‘Dogs failed to find consistency early on.

The Bulldogs got on the board midway through the second quarter when Connette drove the offense down the field before connecting with running back Malique Micenheimer for a 2-yard

touchdown pass to get Fresno State on the board.

The Bulldogs were trailing 24-7.

“We did some positive things, more positive things than we did last week,” Connette said. “On offense, we moved the ball a lot better and that was one of our goals ... Thing is we got to finish more drives in the end zone.”

Connette finished the afternoon 16 of 24 for 177 yards, a passing touchdown and a rushing score.

Senior wide out and captain Josh Harper led the receiving category with six receptions for 83 yards, most of the production coming late in the game.

“We showed spurts, but we were not consistent,” Harper said. “We know what we can do, but we have to keep working on consistency.”

Burrell returned to the game in the fourth and orchestrated two scoring drives, both resulting in touchdown passes to senior wide out Greg Watson.

Burrell ended the game with 106 yards and two touchdowns.

Just like the season opener in Los Angeles, Fresno State fell behind early and was not able to bounce back, resulting in a blowout loss.

“It’s tough on the road when you dig those types of holes,” DeRuyter said. “We’ll be happy to get back home, but we got to fix those things in order to win on the road.

“We knew it was going to be a difficult slate coming in. It is what it is, and we got to fight through it.”

The Bulldogs will look to earn their first win of the year Saturday when they host No. 19 Nebraska in their home opener.

The Fresno State volleyball team’s trip to Sacramento ended in another 1-2 finish, as the Bulldogs dropped both games on Saturday.

Fresno State began the tournament with a 3-2 win over host Sacramento State that was fueled by outside hitter Zana Bowens’ team season-high kill mark.

Bowens smacked 19 kills and two aces and finished with 11 digs for her fifth career double-double. She currently has the Bulldogs’ second- and third-best kill total of the year with 16 against Rice and 15 versus UC Davis.

The victory was a five-set win that ended in a 29-8 run for the Bulldogs.

“We always have a long battle when we play Sac State,” said Fresno State head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell. “The good news is we were ready to play hard as long as we had to. Eventually, we had really strong offensive output out of many of our attackers.

“We played far more consistent than we did last weekend, so we’re pleased with the improvement.”

Saturday’s doubleheader began with a match against UC Santa Barbara that ended in a 3-1 decision for the Gauchos.

Each of the four sets ended in a 25-20 decision. UC Santa Barbara took the first, second and fourth stanzas, while Fresno State won the third.

Bowens had five aces in the matchup and tallied 12 kills.

Freshman Carly Scarborough led the team in hitting with a .360 mark. She also made her third double-digit kill total with 11.

“I like what Carly adds offensively on the right side,” Netherby-Sewell said.

The afternoon matchup saw the Bulldogs fall to the Loyola Marymount Lions, also by a 3-1 score.

Bowens led the ‘Dogs in kills for the fourth time in the last five matches (14) and added two aces, six digs and two blocks.

The Bulldogs’ next contest will be on Wednesday, when they visit LIU Brooklyn.

Men’s Golf: ‘Dogs wrap up Michigan tourney The Fresno State men’s golf team finished 11th in the 2014 Wolverine Intercollegiate Classic tournament over the weekend.

The Bulldogs finished 34-over par, while Michigan claimed the team title after finishing 7-under par. Penn State earned the second-place spot with 8-over par.

“We had some struggles out there and weren’t where we needed to be to start the season,” said Fresno State head coach Chad Spencer. “With more experience, this team will continue to grow and get better.”

The ‘Dogs’ next tournament is from Sept. 15-16 at the St. Mary’s College Invitational in Seaside, California.

Cross Country: ‘Dogs finish high in hometown invite The Fresno State men’s and women’s cross country teams finished in second place and first place, respectively, in the Fresno State Invitational at Woodward Park.

The Bulldog women’s team tallied 33 points after first-, second-, fourth-, fifth- and 21st-place finishes. Air Force came in second with 39 points, UNLV was third with 66, San Jose State fourth with 93, and Cal State Bakersfield rounded out the scoring with 146.

The men’s squad finished with a total of 44 points and had individuals finish in second and third place.

Fresno State junior Annemarie Schwanz won the 4,200-meter race by eight seconds over teammate Carina Mendoza.

Sophomore Matt Kwiatkowski led the men with a second-place finish in the 6,000-meter with a time of 18:39.90. Senior Chriss Grimble was right behind him with a time of 18:40.40.

The Bulldogs will compete next at the University of Washington Sundodger Invitational on Sept. 20 in Seattle, Washington.
