A bill that will mean a $2.8 million windfall for women athletes at the state's colleges and universities wins final legislative approval and is sent to Gov. Booth Gardner for signing into law. The measure, HB2020, will allow four-year colleges and universities to set aside for athlete waivers in the amount of 1 percent of each school's tuition, beginning in the 1991-93 biennium. It promises to be a boon for the growth of women's collegiate soccer in Washington.

After outscoring their last six opponents by a combined 26-2, SPU had jumped in front on goal from Brad Elmenhurst and Bruce Raney. It's the fourth time Chico State has bounced the Falcons from the playoffs.

The whole team followed.
