Fresno State freshman Jelena Pandzic heads into
the WAC tournament with a 19-1 record and a No. 16 ranking nationally
By Beth Warmerdam
For the first time in her Fresno State tennis career, Jelena
Pandzic lost. The freshman, who plays No. 1 singles for the women’s
tennis team, went into the match against Sacramento State ranked
12th
nationally, and with an 18-0 record. She lost in straight sets
to No. 78 Margarita Karnaukhova, 7-5, 6-1. This was perhaps the
biggest surprise and biggest heartbreak
of the match, which the Bulldogs lost 6-1, because Pandzic had
previously only lost one set the whole season. Pandzic is used to
stiff competition.More>>

at the O.K. Rebecca and Elizabeth didn’t drive to Fresno Yosemite
International Airport at 10 p.m. to fight with their teammates. The
two sophomores
came to give them a ride home.More>>
