BYU-SDSU Football Game Is Moved to Nov. 25

The move of the season-ending Brigham Young game from Dec. 2 to Nov. 25 is the most significant change in the tentative 1989 San Diego State football schedule released Friday.

The Aztecs are scheduled to play their first game under new Coach Al Luginbill at Air Force Sept. 2. Two weeks later, on Sept. 16, they are to play UCLA in a 7 p.m. game at San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium.

Other home games would be Cal State Fullerton (Sept. 23), Long Beach State (Oct. 14), Pacific (Oct. 21), New Mexico (Nov. 4), Wyoming (Nov. 11) and BYU.

Road games would include Utah (Sept. 30), Hawaii (Oct. 7), Texas El Paso (Oct. 28) and Miami, Fla. (Nov. 18).

The schedule is subject to change for television.

HOCKEY

The San Diego Surf defeated the Burbank Jets, 11-4, in the first game of the Pacific Southwest Hockey League playoffs before 700 at the San Diego Ice Arena.

Playing on the same line, Jerry Azato (two goals, three assists), Jack Grone (two goals, three assists) and Jim Malwitz (one goal, four assists) combined for five goals and 15 points to lead the Surf (21-0-1).

San Diego led, 2-0, after the first period and increased that to 8-0 after 40 minutes. Surf goaltender Rob Watson had 21 saves. Burbank’s two goalies had 34.

Game 2 of the best-of-three series is tonight at 8. Game 3 (if necessary) is Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Both games are at the San Diego Ice Arena.

COLLEGE SIGNINGS

Kim Lester, from Madison High and the San Diego Volleyball Club, has signed a national letter of intent to play volleyball at San Diego State. The 5-foot-11 outside hitter was offered a full scholarship to SDSU despite having only played club volleyball for one season.

“It’s a tribute to her athletic ability,” said Dick Templeman, SDVC’s director. “It’s highly unlikely for someone to get a scholarship with only one year of club.”

Lester also plays basketball and softball for Madison. She is an All-American and three-time co-player of the year in the City Eastern League in softball.

Lester is the 11th member of SDVC to receive a scholarship this year.

BASEBALL

Pepperdine defeated University of San Diego, 8-5, in a West Coast Athletic Conference game at Cunningham Stadium. Rick Hirtensteiner and Matt Howard hit home runs for Pepperdine, which broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth when Scott Craven grounded into a force at second to drive home Scott Shockey.

Hirtensteiner (2-0) picked up the victory. Dave Monastero (2-1) was the loser.

Behind the pitching of Darryll Rupnow, Wisconsin Whitewater’s two-run second inning was enough to defeat UC San Diego, 2-1, in a nonconference game at LaVerne.

Rupnow (2-1) allowed nine hits, struck out nine and walked one. The Tritons’ Mike Morgan (eight strikeouts, one walk) took the loss and is 3-5.

In the NCAA Division III college baseball poll UCSD (14-10) is ranked ninth, Wisconsin Whitewater (7-5) 10th. UCSD’s Dave Ligerman and Chris Murphy were both two for four.

MEN’S TENNIS

The University of San Diego defeated No. 25 Southern Methodist, 5-2, in the Blue/Gray National Collegiate Tennis tournament in Montgomery, Ala.

UC San Diego, ranked fifth in the NCAA Division III, was defeated by No. 2 UC Santa Cruz, 6-3, in a nonconference match in Phoenix. The Tritons’ Sig Huber defeated Steve Gottlieb, 7-6, 6-4, in No. 2 singles, and Chris Belloli downed Kirk Edwards, 0-6, 6-4, 6-2, in No. 4 singles.

SOFTBALL

Cal Poly Pomona’s Lori Thompson (11-2) pitched a no-hitter to defeat San Diego State, 1-0, in the first game of a Big West Conference doubleheader at SDSU. The Broncos’ Nicky Luce (11-5) had a two-hitter in the nightcap as No. 7 Pomona (23-8, 11-1) won, 3-0. SDSU fell to 13-21-1, 7-11.

BOWLING

San Diego’s Jess Stayrook, seeking his first PBA Tour victory, was third after seven rounds of the Professional Bowlers Assn. Seagram’s Coolers Open Friday in Edmond, Okla.
