Two home games left for Bulldogs

The Fresno State lacrosse team will host Denver and Saint Mary’s in a two-game Mountain Pacific Sports Federation homestand today and Wednesday, respectively. The two games are the final home games slated for the ‘Dogs, who will close at the regular season at UC Davis on April 21.

The Bulldogs (2-8, 0-3) will host the Pioneers in a conference matchup at 3 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium.

The Pioneers (10-1, 4-0) have won 10 straight games, including going undefeated in conference play.

After winning two games, the ‘Dogs have fallen in each of their last five games but­ still have a chance to make the MPSF Tournament when they go head-to-head against Saint Mary’s. The Gaels are also winless in conference and the two teams will fight for the final playoff spot.

Wednesday’s game will also mark the first senior day in program history, as the team will honor midfielders Callie Seidman and Kasandra Martinson.

‘Dogs return home for Spartans

Fresno State will return to Beiden Field for its final Western Athletic Conference home-opening series when it hosts San Jose State for three games starting today at 6:05 p.m.

Fresno State (15-16, 1-2) is off to a rough start in conference after falling to Hawaii in its first WAC series. San Jose State will open up WAC play against the Bulldogs.

Sophomore Tyler Linehan will start on the mound for the ‘Dogs today. Linehan is 3-3 in eight starts and has struck out 55 batters, the most out of any Bulldog pitcher this season.

The ‘Dogs will close out the series on Saturday (6:05 p.m.) and Sunday (1:05 p.m.) as it will mark the final time the two teams will play each other as members of the WAC.
