Archived o« the uieb @ www.doilyemercld.com Oregon picks up five wins ■ After losing the Civil War, the Oregon Wrestling team makes a come back By Matt O'Neill Oregon Daily Emerald Now they are on a roll. Coming off a sound defeat at the hands of Oregon State, the Oregon wrestling team bounced back to notch five wins last week end. They began their streak Friday night with an upset of then-No. 25 Fresno State, and continued by winning all four dual matches in the Oregon Wrestling Classic held in Portland on Saturday. In front of 553 faithful fans at McArthur Court, the Ducks over came an early forfeit to defeat the Bulldogs convincingly, 25-12. The Oregon graplers won seven of 10 matches en route to the win. One of the defeats came be cause redshirt freshman Brian Watson had to forfeit due to a broken hand that he suffered in practice last week. Head coach Chuck Kearney felt the team was better off taking the forfeit instead of a defeat because of the quality of Fresno State’s 133-pound wrestler. “Their 133-pounder is a very good wrestler,” Kearney said, “and we didn’t want to send Adam [Marino] out there against him as his first match of the year.” The two keys to the match, according to Kearney, were the opening match where freshman Jason Harless defeated Derrick Hayes in the 125-pound weight class with a rfiajor decision (11-3) and the overtime win by Jake Leak against Tom Gohde (4-2), which extended the Ducks’ lead to an insurmountable 22-12 margin. “Jason continued on with the hot streak that he has kinda gotten into lately,” Kearney said. “As far as the emotional point of the match, Jake’s win was definitely key.” Leair also sensed the crowd urging him on, which he used to his advantage. Azle Malinao-Alvarez Emerald Tony Overstake and the Ducks trip up five different teams during the weekend. “I did sense the crowd there,” Leair said. “It was an energizer when they stood up at the end, it was refreshing. ” The Ducks then used the mo mentum from the upset to propel themselves to four more victories in Portland. During the morning session of the one-day tour nament, Ore gon routed Pa c i f i c - 1 0 Conference foe California Polytechnic In stitute, 29-13. There were three wins by pin and one win by for feit in favor of the Ducks. The second match of the day saw Oregon cruise to an even big ger margin of victory over Pacific University, 35-9. The Ducks won eight of 10 matches, including three by pins. In the afternoon session, Ore gon continued to breeze with a 38-10 pummeling of Central WRfSTiiNG Washington. Both Leair and Har less won by pins. Two Wildcat forfeits helped the Ducks. Oregon then went on to make it four-for-four on the day when it defeated another Pac-10 rival, Cal State Fullerton, 29-13. Four graplers for the Ducks went undefeated. David Watson re bounded from his 6-0 drubbing against Fresno State to win all four of his matches at the 141-pound weight class. Junior college transfer, Eugene Harris continued his winning streak with another four victories at the 157-pound level. Eighth ranked Doug Lee continued his great season when he cruised to two wins. The surprise performance of the tournament came from fresh man Leair, who used his overtime win against Fresno to push him to four wins, including one pin against Cal Poly’s Greg Harrington to open the tournament for the Ducks. ¥ EMU Cultural Forum ▼ presents CONSERVATION POLITICS SCHOLAR-ACTIVIST Marc Reisner "The Age of Dams and its Legacy" TONIGHT 7pm, EMU Ballroom University of Oregon -£08336 soe tiiiio Marc Reisner, acclaimed author of Cadillac Desert and conservation strategist for California fisheries, farmland, and wildlife habitats, will speak to the University and Eugene community on water and conservation politics.
