Wrestlers gain revenge, 48-2
Looking for revenge in the
Midwest, Oregon’s wrestling
team found it Wednesday night
when the Ducks destroyed
Mankato State, 48-2.
Coming off an embarrassing
35-3 loss to number-one ranked
Iowa State, the Ducks earned a
much-needed win that puts
them back on the winning track.
"T think the guys were upset
about last night and wanted to
take it out on somebody. Unfor
tunately it was Mankato State,"
said Oregon coach Ron Finley.
"We don’t like to get beat, we
don’t plan on it. We just plain
don’t like it.”
Four Oregon wrestlers
recorded pins as Oregon raised
its season record to 17-2. Dan
Cook, Jeff Steubing and Ryan
Kelly pinned their opponents in
the first period, while Rick
O’Shea earned his at the 4:24
mark.
The loss to Iowa State Tues
day wasn’t as bad as it seems,
considering the Cyclones had
seven nationally ranked wres
tlers — three ranked number
one.
"We didn’t wrestle that badly
against Iowa State, it’s just that
our best people were matched
up against their best people.
Unfortunately their best people
were ranked number one." Fin
ley said.
The Ducks finished their Mid
west road trip with a 3-1 recond.

three pins and a decision, sav

against ISU by getting their only
win.
"Overall, I’m pleased with our
trip It was good experience for
us.” said Finley. "We had to
compete under some adverse
conditions and we grew from it.
"I think it is excellent prepar
ation for our upcoming
matches, and our conference
and national tournament."
