"The team didn't give up and came scrapping back," Brovelh saJd. But that's when the boo-boo bug hit USO, and the Toreros did not S<:ore four consecutive times down the floor, until forward Anthony Reuss hit a field goal two and a half minutes lat r. By that time it was St. Mary's 63-51 At that point Pickett lefl the game because a bandage on his hyperextended left knee had come undone. But he came back in with 3:20 l ft to help finish off the visitors. Brovelh tried mtenUonal fouls late in the game and with 29 seconds remalmng th margin was only 74-69 after a Whitmarsh field goal. But 1t was all too little too late. The mtenlionals got so rough that USO guard Al Moscatel was ejected with 17 seconds left for tackling guard Gerry Karczew k1 of St. Mary's. Karczewski was an obvious target, he hot 4 of 11 from the line. "They w r legitimate fouls," Brovelli said. USD had its good points. Whitmarsh, who made first team all-WCAC last year, firushed with a game-high 29 pomts, 9 rebounds and 8 aqsists.

Aztecs, Toreros to slug it out· By Larry Weinbaum The Timas-Advocate Today's the battle for San Diego college baseball supremacy when the University of San Diego Toreros of Coach John Cunningham visit the Jim Dietz-coached Aztecs of San Diego State. Game time Is 5 p.m. at Smith Field on the SDSU Please see Notes, page C4 •Notes Continued from page C3 campus. The Aztecs bring a 7-0 record into the game. The Toreros are 3-1. The Aztecs opened its season last week winning at Pt. Loma and UC Irvine, swept doubleheaders from Cal Lutheran and Cal Poly-Pomona and beat up Pt. Loma 17-3 on Monday. USD opened with wins against Pt. Loma and UC San Diego, then split a doubleheader on Saturday against Los Angeles State. "Over the years, the series with San Diego State has been a good one," said USD Coach John Cunning• ham, now in his 21st season. "Please understand me, I'm not downplaying the game at all, but at one time - when we were an independent six years ago - this game was even bigger. We really looked forward to it then. "But now, we're in a conference situation (South- ern California Baseball Association) just like San Diego State (Western Athletic Conference Southern Division) and conference games obviously take on added Importance." Last year, San Diego State won the first game with USD, 7-6. Several attempts to play the second ga_me were thwarted by wet weather. Cunningham, who recently became an Escondido resident, has named right-hander Greg Bertrand (2· 0) as his starting pitcher. Bertrand is a junior trans- fer from Delta College JC. Dietz will counter with southpaw Bill Blount (1-0). a junior out of Hoover High School in San Diego. Dietz downplays going against USD. 'We're one of five baseball-playing colleges In San Diego," said Dietz, owner of a 510-277 record and starting his 13th season with the Aztecs. "And we play them all - USD, UCSD, USIU and Pt. Loma. Everyone takes aim at us because we're the biggest school. But that's OK." San Diego Invitational field has everyone who is anyone SAN DIEGO UNION FEB l 2 1984 9' The San Diego Intercollegiate Invitational tennis tour- nament beginning tomorrow and continuing through Sat- urday at the University of San Diego is Ed Collins' pride and joy. Collins, USD's bright and witty tennis coach as well as being one of the better teachers in the game, bas put together this prestigious college event for a good many years. This year, all of the top tennis schools in this area are involved, including USC, UCLA, Pepperdine and Arizona State. The others are UC-Irvine, Chapman, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, Long Beach State, Bakersfield State, UC-Santa Barbara, Brigham Young and Redlands - along with the local schools, San Diego State, U.S. International Univer- sity, UCSD and the host school. Some of the brightest, young collegiate players are involved in this event, which requires a melange of logis- tics on Collins' part. Each of the 16 teams with a minimum of six players must be housed and fed during the tournament's three days. Each team seeds its players into the various flights, and schedules must be worked out and matches kept moving from morning until night. There are individual as well as team championships. Kelly Jones, the former Point Loma High star now in his second season with the Waves of Pepperdine, will be back to defend the title he won in the top-flight category ID 1983. Jones had to fight bard to defeat bis Pepperdine team- mate, Jerome Jones, in the Flight One finals 7-5, 7-5. Pepperdine's Brad Ackerman, in Flight Two, bad to come from behind to down USC's Jim Agate 2-6, 7-5, 7-5, and UCLA's Mark Basham took Flight Three over USC's Brad Cherry 6-1, 6-2. USC, ranked No. I in the nation this season, won the team title here in 1983, followed by UCLA, Pepperdine and UC-Irvine in that order. In the doubles this year, USC's No. I-ranked pair of Tim Pawsat and Ricky Leach is expected to take the title. Last year, Pawsat, a former Tribune Tournament winner, teamed with Gary Lemon to defeat UC-Irvine's Mark Ramos and Eric Quade 6-3, 7-5. ~-------- Elson Irwin TENNIS NOTEPAD SAN DIEGO UNION F£8 1 5 1984 - THE TRIBUNE FEB l 3 GAF.LS PRl!.-VAIL Aztecs nip USD with run in 9th Rob Knowles hit a sacri- fice fly with the bases load- ed in the bottom of the ninth to lift San Diego State to an 8-7 win over USD last night.

TIIE~TRIBUNE SanDiego Notepad San Diego, Wednesday, February 15, 1984 C-8 Toreros hope to pass season's big test Are they destined to finish in the upper half of the conference standings or the lower section? That question may be answered later this week when the University of San Diego basketball team faces two important tests in be West Coast Athletic Conference. ., The Toreros, 3-3 in WCAC play and 12-9 overall, take on Pepperdine (3-3, 12-10) tomorrow night at the USD Sports Center. Tipoff is at 7:30. USD also has a home date coming up Saturday against Loyola Marymount. But first things first. "No question about it, Thursday night is the most im- portant game of the season for us," said Torero coach Jim Brovelli. "l hope it's one of those barn burners like Santa Clara (a 69-62 USO win). Our place only holds 2,200, but it helped against Santa Clara." In an earlier meeting between the two teams, Pepper• dine held off a late USO rally to take a 67-64 decision in Malibu. Wave forward Grant Gondrezlck hit 11 of 15 shots to finish with 22 pomts.
