Women's basketball still in a rut ", by "JillWinje Sports Writer

Boise State's women's basketball team lost three games last week, one at home, two on the road. The home game loss was to BYU, 90-83. In front of 1,767 fans in the Pavilion, the team strug- gled for a victory. "We need to have the drive to win for the full 40 minutes of the game," said head coach Trisha Stevens. "Not five here and five there." Taking care of the ball and transitioning into defense quickly appeared to be the team's main problems. "We beat ourselves," said starting guard Kellie Lewis. Lewis netted in 15 points, including two three-pointers, and captured three steals. Tawnya Gray led the team in points with a game total two of 15, along with blocked shots.

Members of the BSU wrestling team tested themselves in competition on Saturday, Nov. 30, when Boise State hosted the 1996 Bronco Open wrestling tournament. The contest, held in the Bronco Gym, featured wrestlers from Brigham Young University-Northern Montana, North Idaho College and Boise State. The.tournament was open, indicating any wrestler out of high school was eligible to compete, . . This i~cluded r~d-shirted freshm~n,Jormer college wrestlers and oiher wrestlers not currently competing at the college level. Many wrestlers participate in the tournament unattached, without any school affiliation. In all, approximately 60 wrestlers showed up to challenge each other. Five members of the Boise State squad captured championships in their respective weight classes. Winners for BSU were: freshman Dave Molinari at 118, junior Dustin Young at 142, freshman Larry Quisel at 150, and junior Damie Lasater at 177.

Also competing for BSU were Josh Bales, Ryan Baumgartner, Casey Eager, Charlie Griggs, Jacob Levinski, Aaron Swisher, Condon Tanaka, Joaquin Valdez and Brian Weiber. Although team scores are not kept in open tournaments, BSU 'head coach Mike Young firmly believes Boise State would have won easily if the tabs were marked.
