OEC. ,9s 1, --- USDwomen bounce back The University of San Diego women's basketball team got back on the right track with a triumph over the visiting USIU Gulls this past weekend, using a team effort in the second half to come from behind. USIU jumped out to a 44-34 first half lead behind the outside shooting of Jamie Glassford (14 points) and Kathy Bryans (12). USD stayed close with the fine performance of senior Debbie Weinreis who totaled 21 points in the half. After intermission the Lady Toreras battled back with some tough defense and rebounding to take the lead for the first time, 53·52, with eight minutes to go. Junior center Martha Nelson came off the bench to spark the comeback with 10 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. Weinreis led all scorers with 28 points. Sophomore guard Laura Thomas added nine points and four rebounds to aid the winners. USIU was paced by Glassford, a sophomore from Madison High, with 16 points and six rebounds. Sophomores Kathy Bryans and Lisa Miranda followed with 12 and8 points respectively. The Gulls shot 51 percent (20-39) in the opening half but cooled off in the second totaling just 15 points. USD's height advantage helped them to control the boards at both ends of the floor, grabbing a total of 54 rebounds to USIU's 21. "We showed the kind of defense we are capable of playing in the second half," said coach Kathy Marpe. 2

the team t he Toreros were playing in the NCAA's Division II. They were a national power in that division. In Whitmarsh's freshman season the team earned a berth in the national post-season tournament In Whitma rsh's sophomore year the Toreros moved up to Division I and into the tough West Coast Athletic Conference. USD has taken its Jumps in the WCAC The team has _had a losing record the past two seasons, but 1t looks as if the Toreros might be turning the corner this year Whitmarsh has helped the Toreros improve more and more every season "We started off well this year, " said Whitmarsh. "We're sta rting to get better talent in here, but it's going to take time. Last year we lost nine games by five points or less (on the way to a 10-16 record) , but we should do better than that this year " When Whitmarsh signed his letter of intent to attend USD it represented the start of a new era. Along with the graduated Bob Barthclomew and Mike Sto!:kalper, 'hit - marsh was the fi rst wave of the Toreros ' new era Whitma rsh was a two-time All-CIF pick in

high school. He was known for both scoring and defense at Monte Vista. And he brought both of those skills with him to USO. Whitmarsh still averages in double figures - as do most of the Torero starters - but playing defense is still his forte. " I take more pride in my defense," said ~h1tmarsh. "In a game I'll usually be cover- mg the other team's best scorer, and in this conference it's usually a guard. " Until my junior year of high school, (Monarch coach Pete) Colonelli used to say I was a bad defensive player. I knew if I couldn't pla_y defense I wouldn ' t get to play for Colonelh, so I worked hard on improving my defense." Whitmarsh gets many chances to practice his skills. In WCAC play alone he gets to face such standout guards as the University of San Francisco's Quintin Dailey, St. Mary's David Vann, Portland's Jose Slaughter and Pep- perdine's Boot Bond. In the past he has even gone agamst another team 's center when injtmes forced him to fill in on the front line.

There aren't any gray hairs on his head . And he still moves as well as he has in the past. But when it comes to the Unive rsity of San Diego basketball program, Rusty Whit- marsh is an old man. A 21-year-old isn't usually considered to be over the hill , and Whitmarsh still has lots of good yea rs of ba sketball left in him . But his days as a member of the Torero team are numbered. Whitmarsh is beginn ing his four th, and fin al, season with coach J im Brovelli's team. . USO won its season opener aga inst Univer- sity of the Pacific, 90-64, over the weekend Whitmarsh and teammates will be in actio~ again this weekend when they host Boise State Friday and UC Irvine Saturday at the Torero Spor t Center on the USO campus. Both games begin at 7:35 p.m . Whi tma rsh is the only member of the squad who has been there for four season,,. He came to USD for the 1978-79 season after a stella r career at '\fonte Vista High.

From 1D ··1 like the challenge of playing defense." said Whit- marsh "A player like Quintin Dailey you just aren't going to stop. He's going to get his 20 points a game. But if you don·t play well against him he might get 40." Whitmarsh can also contribute at the other end of th(; floor. Last year he averaged 11 points a game, shot 57 percent from the floor, and 82 percent from the free throw line. He was one of four USO starters who aver aged in double figures . "We run a tempo offense," said Whitmarsh. "We know where our shots are and we know when we are supposed to take them. The shots are equally distributed so you won't get more than eight or 10 shots a game . You won ' t have a lot of high scorers, but if we can shoot 50 percent _ and we usually do - most of us will be in double figures ... Although he has more exper ience than other USO players, Whitmarsh said he has no extra leadership role on the team. He says leadership is an assumed responsi- bility rather than an assigned responsibiltty. " Basically we are all role players," he says. " We don·t have the best talent in the confe rence, so we ha ve to beat people by playing as a team Any success we have will be as a team rather than as individuals. Once we get together and star t thinking as a team - we' re not yet - we should be pretty good '· "Rusty 1s the kind of playe r we like to have here ," said Brovelli. "The players we want must have: (1) good grades; and (2) be a solid, consistent performer. A lot of our kids, I think, are overachievers. "I'd like to have five Whitmarshes - three 6-9 Whitmarshes on the front line a nd two 6-3 guards just like Rusty··
