Bruins to face Bulldog rematch
With its 11-game win streak at stake, the UCLA men’s tennis team
will take on No. 19 Fresno State at 1:30 p.m. today at the Los
Angeles Tennis Center.
The Bruins (12-1, 2-0), who have been inactive for the past 10
days after capturing the National Indoors in Louisville, will be
looking to extend their tear, which has propelled them to the No. 1
ranking in the nation.
Fresno’s Bulldogs come in to the match with a 7-4 overall record
and a big red welt on their behinds where the Bruins whacked them
5-2 in Louisville.
Holding down the No. 1 spot will be senior Fredrik Giers, a
Swedish import who has carried the team with his 16-9 overall
singles record.
The foil to Giers will be UCLA’s Eric Taino, who enters the
match with an unblemished 13-0 record.
Line coach heads for Aggies’ spot
Steve Marshall, the offensive line coach for the UCLA football
team, announced Monday that he is leaving the Bruins to become
offensive coordinator and line coach for the Texas A&M
Aggies.
Marshall was coach at UCLA for only one season.
