Pacific topples USD 5 STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) - Junior_ forward Ron Cornelius hit for 23 points to lead Umver5lty of the Pacific to an 81-56 college basketball victory over unjy~rs;tx pf Sao Qiego on_Thursday. University of Pac1f1c trailed 35-33 at the half, but Cornelius hit for nine points in a 23-point streak for the Tigers to break the game open ii} the second half. . Leading 56-37, San Diego was never able to regam the lead despite a 13-point effort from forward Russell Jackson. UOP finished the game with a 1-3 season . San Diego is 1-2. ·

This game figured to be close, and for a time - a long lime - it could not have been closer. Indeed, Torero guard Earl Pierce sent the game into overtime when he caromed home a free throw with 21 seconds to play in the second half. In the time that remained, howev- er, Mendoza scored five points and made a critical steal. there wasn't a player on either team willing to discount the jumper he launched with the Aztecs leading, 59-57. "That one ruined us," Torero Coach Jim Brovelli said. "We'd done And

But he was not reluctant to shoot the ball under pressure last night. "We were having problems get- ting ar.ything going offensively be- cause we were trying too hard to get the ball inside,' the 6-5 junior said. (Continued o D-3, Col. 4)
