Fourth meet in five nights
drops wrestlers to 12-2

The road got tough tor the Oregon wrestling team
Wednesday night as the Ducks hit the mat for the fourth
time in five nights and got roughed up by the hard
nosed Brigham Young University Cougars, 30-14 in
Provo, Utah
It was the second dual meet defeat of the season
for the Ducks, who knew they had their work cut out for
them after 190-pound sophomore standout Lance
Hochanadel was forced to sit the meet out after hurting
his back at Utah State Tuesday
"I think I may have put too much pressure on
everybody by telling them that we needed big wins to
make up for the forfeit at 190,' said Duck coach Ron
Finley, adding that “Hochanadel is hurting pretty
good “
Hochanadel isn't the only Duck hurting as
Oregon's once unblemished record was smudged for
the second time in the four-match road swing The
Ducks, who left Eugene looking good at 10-0, now
stand at 12-2 with a date at the Portland State Invita
tional Tournament on tap Saturday
Hochanadel would have made little difference on
the score sheet Wednesday as BYU jumped on the
Ducks in the first three matches and stayed on top the
whole way
The Cougars' Brad Anderson got BYU started in
fine style by pinning the Ducks' Randy Ohta at 4 49 of
the 118-pound match For Ohta, who is substituting for
the still-injured Mike Erb, it was loss No 7 against four
wins
That was just the beginning, as the Cougars clawed
their way to a 14-0 lead before Oregon found something
to cheer about at 142 First, Chris Taylor thrashed
Oregon's Miles Hancock 17-2 at 126, then Morgan
Woodhouse decisioned the Ducks' Cliff Porter at 134 by
an 8-5 score
Freshman Lorenzo West drew first blood for the
Ducks, pinning the Cougars' Matt Bake at 4:13 of their
142-pound contest. At 150, Oregon's Barry Boyles
remained undefeated by battling BYU's Chad Teichart
to a 4-4 draw
The Ducks then pulled to within 16-11 in the meet
as Rick O’Shea recorded his 16th win of the season,
downing Billy Boyd of BYU 8-4 at 158
But that was as close as the Ducks ever got as the
Cougars decided enough was enough and reeled off
two more victories and collected the forfeit at 190 to
account for their final count of 30
At 167, Kerry Hiatt of BYU rolled over the Ducks'
Paul Sheriff 19-3, and at 177, Jeff Needs shutout
Oregon's Charles Nutter 6-0 Heavyweight Dan Cook
accounted for the final three Oregon points with a 9-4
decision over the Cougars' Larry Hamilton
