wrestlers place 19th in Illinois
The Midlands
Tournament pitted the
Ducks against six of the
nation’s top-10 teams
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
Sean Morgan finished fifth over
all and Kenny Cox and Chael Son
nen botli finished in seventh place
to lead the Oregon wrestl ing team to
a 19th-place finish at the Midlands
Tournament in Evanston, 111., on
Dec. 30.
The tournament played host to
six of the top 10 teams in the coun
try, including No. 3 Iowa, No. 7 Illi
nois and No. 10 Northwestern. More
than 30 teams were in competition.
Morgan made it to the semifinals
of the 165-pound weight class be
fore losing to Chad Liott of Rider 4-2
in overtime. Liott was able to escape
a takedown in overtime that would
have given Morgan the win.
Cox, who competed at the 133
pound weight class on Dec. 19
against Southern Oregon in Ash
land, wrestled at 125 pounds and
lost his third match of the tourna
ment to fourth-seeded Tom Combs
of Eastern Illinois 19-10.
Entering the tournament as Ore
gon’s highest seeded wrestler,
fourth-seeded Chael Sonnen lost to
WRESTLING
no. b /.actiery
Thompson of
Iowa State 3-2 in
the semifinals.
"We were very
sluggish out
here,” Oregon
head coach
unicK Kearney said in a released
statement. “We didn’t compete like
we’re capable of, and in some bouts,
[Oregon] just didn't pull the trigger.
However, there were a lot of posi
tives we gained from this tourna
ment. Morgan and Cox both wres
tled well. Cox wrestled as well as he
has in an Oregon uniform all week.”
Kearney said the team learned an
other lesson from the tournament.
“As a team, we learned that we
need to reforms before we get back
to the dual season and recommit to
the hard work and intensity that will
make us successful in the Pacific-10
Conference,” he said.
Earlier last month, the Ducks
crushed UC Davis at home 38-6,
recording three pins in four match
es, courtesy of Morgan, Sonnen and
174-pound Sean O'Rourke. Oregon
wrestlers won every weight class
and allowed just one takedown in
the entire match.
One week later, Southern Oregon
took UC Davis’ place as Oregon’s
punching bag. The Ducks won sev
en of 10 matches and rolled over the
Raiders 25-8.
Many Oregon wrestlers posted
impressive wins over their oppo
nents. The biggest upset of the
evening came when stalling penal
ties forced Sonnen into overtime
against the Raiders’ Jamie Haddon.
Sonnen eventually lost 4-2 in over
time.
Oregon (2-0) will jump into its
Pac-10 season next week when it
faces Stanford on Jan. 6, Cal-Poly
SLO on Jan. 8 and Cal-State Bakers
field on Jan. 9.
Dolphins face long road to Super Bowl
By Steven Wine
Associated Press
DAVIE, Fla. — Even eternal op
timist Jimmy Johnson admits his
Miami Dolphins face long odds in
the second round of the playoffs.
Jacksonvi lie’s 25-10 victory Sun
day over New England determined
the pairings for next weekend’s
AFC games, and the Dolphins will
play Saturday at Denver. That
means Miami must contend with
the well-rested defending Super
Bowl champions, a hostile crowd
and winter weather.
And the Dolphins must do it
without their only Pro Bowl player.
Defensive tackle Tim Bowens un
derwent surgery Sunday to repair
a tom tendon in his ami, and he’ll
miss the rest of the postseason.
Bowens was hurt in Saturday’s
24-17 wild-card victory over the
Buffalo Bills, Miami’s first post
season win in four years. With
Denver looming, the thrill of vic
tory didn’t last long.
“We know it’s going to be an up
hill battle playing on the road when
they have two weeks to prepare
and a bye and an opportunity to get
their team healthy,” Johnson said.
The Dolphins beat the Broncos
31-21 two weeks ago, but Denver
had already clinched home-field
advantage for the playoffs and had
little incentive to win. And that
game was in Miami.
The Dolphins' last road victory
in the postseason came 25 years
ago against Minnesota in the Su
per Bowl. Miami has since lost
eight postseason road games.
The loss of Bowens hurts the
run defense just as it gears up to
deal with 2,000-yard rusher Ter
rell Davis. The Dolphins were al
ready shorthanded in the front
four because end Jason Taylor was
sidelined for the season by a bro
ken collarbone last week.
