  The Spartan wrestling team takes to the mat at home Dec. 1 against UC-Davis , and assistant coach Andy Tsarnas said the team is in the rebuilding process this season.

"We are in the Pac-10 conference this season, as the PCAA and he Pac-10 merged into one conference of about 11 teams," Tsarnas said.
"We hope to finish somewhere in the middle of the field."

The Spartans took a meet from Stanford on Nov.15, and the coaches hope three key wrestlers will excel for SJSU this season.

Seniors Arnold Khanbabian (126), Dave Love (142), and Matt Toves (150) should be productive Tsarnas said.

"We're a young team this season, trying to gain back some of the respect we lost due to last season's suspension," he said.

Funding cutbacks caused SJSU President Gail Fullerton to eliminate wrestling from the athletic program after the 1985-86 season. But the program was reinstated after a fund-raising.

The rest of the wrestling squad includes senior Shannon Felix (167), junior Joe Driscal (177), and sophomores Andrew Flores (118), Greg Eisner (130), Shane Baum (158), Scott Benson (190), and Vince Wallace (180).
