STINGRAYS TONIGHT

Opponent--New England Blizzard.

Time--6.

Site--Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim.

Records--Long Beach 17-12, New England 15-15.

Update--The StingRays hope for a turnout of about 6,000 tonight. At the 4,200-seat Pyramid at Long Beach State, the team has been drawing an announced average of only 1,792. In San Jose, the Lasers have drawn at least 7,000 in each of the four games they have played in 18,000-seat San Jose Arena, compared to an average of 3,248 at San Jose State’s 4,550-seat Event Center. Blizzard Coach K.C. Jones hopes he gets another game like the one Kara Wolters logged Thursday night in a 79-63 victory at Portland. The 6-foot-7 Wolters, in 24 minutes off the bench, had 20 points, six rebounds and three blocks. Long Beach, playing its fourth game in five nights, lost at San Jose on Wednesday, 76-72.
