Two Ducks take top honors in Ashland
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
If last weekend was any indica
tion on how well the Duck
wrestlers will do this season, their
opponents in the Pacific-10 Con
ference have something to worry
about.
The Ducks traveled to Ashland
on Saturday to compete in the
Southern Oregon Open and fin
ished with two weight-class
champions in Doug Lee and Daryl
Christian.
In the championship round, Lee
beat Anton Telamantes of Lassen
Community College at 184
pounds and Christian beat Larry
Quisel of Boise State at 157
pounds.
“It felt good breaking into the
season through that match,”
Christian said. “He was pretty
good. I don’t have very much pres
I "■
sure on me anymore now that the
match is over because I know I am
where I need to be at this point.”
Oregon had three wrestlers who
made it to the championship
round before losing. Chael Sonnen
was beat 3-1 in overtime by Shane
Zajack of Oregon State at 197
pounds after Zajack escaped from
a takedown that would have gave
Sonnen the win in regulation.
Redshirt freshman David Wat
son advanced to the champi
onship round at 141 pounds but
lost to Corey Caywood of Boise
State. Sean Morgan lost the 165
pound title to Boise State’s Kirk
White.
Jesse Culp, David Perkins and
Aaron Mann each placed fourth
for the Ducks in their respective
weight classes, but the fifth and
sixth-place matches were can
celed due to time constraints.
Christian said he was pleased
with the way the team performed.
He said all the different schools at
the meet simulated the atmos
phere of competing at the Pac-10
Championships — a goal the
Ducks already have their sights
on.
“We’re a pretty dangerous team
right now from 125 pounds up to
the heavyweight,” Christian said.
“We are doing lots of positive
things. We’re coming together and
we will do lots of damage this year
if we can keep our heads up and
see our goals. This meet was a
good sign of the team’s ability to
compete in the Pac-10.”
The meet was a preseason event
and, therefore, there were no team
scores. However, the Ducks want
ed to use the meet as an indication
of how hard they have to work to
compete in the Pac-10.

Oregon attempted 30 free throws
in the first half, which, Runge
said, both helped the Ducks
jump out to the early lead and
hurt them by not allowing them
to get into rhythm offensively.
Oregon hit just 8 of 31 shots in
the first half.
"We’re a young team,” Runge
said. “We need to learn to stay fo
cused and be patient on offense.”
Wolvert agreed.
“I though we were a little lack
adaisical at the end of the first
half,” she said. “But once we
started running the ball better
down the court shots began to
open up for us.”
Woolf lead Idaho with 13
points, and center Julie Wynstra
lead the Vandals’ bench scorers
with eight points.
Loss to Oregon State
leaves Oregon in eighth
By Allison Ross
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Civil War is anything but
civil. When game time rolls
around, records are not a factor.
Each team wants to beat its in
state rival for the mere fact of
pride.
The Oregon volleyball team
had the upper hand this season
after sweeping the Beavers in its
season opener on Sept. 18.
But revenge came back to haunt
the Ducks in their final game of
the season.
VOLLEYBALL
Oregon was
unable to pull
itself from the
cellar of the Pa
cific-10 Confer
ence when it
fell 10-15,15-5,
15-10, 15-13 to
in-state rival
Oregon State at Gill Coliseum on
Friday.
A win would have put the
Ducks one game ahead of the
Beavers and alone in eighth place
in the conference. The Ducks’ loss
created a tie for last place as both
teams finished the season with
three conference wins.
Oregon finished its regular sea
son 8-21 overall and 3-15 in the
Pac-10 and were hoping to get
their fourth win on Friday, which
would have been the first four
win season under head coach
Cathy Nelson.
“Obviously we are disappoint
ed with our result tonight,” Nel
son said in a released statement.
“We had our chances to take the
lead and we weren't able to capi
talize down the stretch."
After winning Game 1 on 16
kills and a pair of service aces by
freshman Monique Tobbagi and
senior Alii White, the Ducks came
out flat in Game 2, leading only
once at 4-3.
Oregon State (13-16 overall, 3
16 Pac-10) scored five straight
points, and never lost control of
the game. Oregon committed 11
errors to Oregon State’s four in the
game and the Beavers were able to
take the win, despite being out
killed 18-17.
In Game 3, the Ducks recorded
15 kills and only 5 errors for an
overall attack percentage of .263,
but Oregon State’s 17 kills
clinched the win for the Beavers.
The Ducks had three players
record 10 or more kills, with
Madeline Ernst leading all attack
ers with 24. Ernst also led Oregon
on defense by tallying 13 digs and
one service ace.
“Oregon State was more persis
tent and more fired up at times,”
Ernst said. “We didn’t come out in
Games 2 and 3 like we wanted to
win. We had problems executing
at the right times and made mis
takes at the wrong times. ”
Errors were key in the match as
Oregon had 37 to Oregon State’s
28. But Oregon led in kills (73-69)
and digs (64-56). Oregon State
more than doubled Oregon in
blocks with 16.
“I have to give Oregon State
credit, they played a great match,”
Ernst said. "But the bottom line is
we lost to a beatable team. ”
The Beavers had four players
with 10 or more kills and were led
by Sarah Bjeldanes who recorded
20 kills and 13 digs. Selina Scoble
and Angie Shirley each added 13
kills. Shirley committed just one
error and finished the match with
an impressive .632 attack percent
age.
“Ball control was a big focus all
week,” Ernst said. “But we were
error prone and never really con
trolled our side.”
