Oregon grapplers
survive Portland St.
■ Portland State took the
Ducks to the limit before
Oregon prevailed 20-19

Oregon Daily Emerald
Intrastate rivalry at its best.
Friday night’s matchup be
tween Oregon and Portland State
showed what Pacific-10 Confer
ence wrestling is all about.
On paper, Oregon was a heavy
favorite, coming in with a record
of 11-5 overall, and 4-3 in the Pac
10, while Portland State was 3-12
and 1-4 in the Pac-10. The last time
these two teams jnet, the Ducks
pummeled the Vikings 31-6.
Once they hit the mats at
McArthur Court, it was a different
story. Portland State took the Ducks
to the limit, before falling 20-19.
Head coach Chuck Kearney
knew this match would be tough
for his team despite the previous
outcome. “Portland State fought
real hard,” Kearney said. “I think
we looked past a little bit because
of the score last time.”
The Ducks had to play catch-up
all night, as the Vikings jumped to
an early 6-0 lead when John
Fasana pinned sophomore Adam
Marino in the first period.
Oregon climbed back into the
match as David Watson scored a
major decision over J.T. Horner,
leaving the Ducks down two, 4-6.
It was a see-saw battle the rest of
the night.
The Ducks pulled to within two
points before Portland State re
opened the lead.
Eugene Harris
beat Holyoak
(10-3) to pull the
Ducks within
two. P
“Eugene is
starting to believe in himself as -
much as we believe in him,” Kear- -
ney said. “He’s starting to get some
momentum now, ”
Again the Ducks pulled within
three points after Lee’s sudden
victory (4-3) against Pierce in a
hard-fought win.
“That was a big match,” Kear
ney said. “Matt was more nervous
than I was.”
The Ducks put it all together
with three matches left. Senior
Doug Lee started the push with a
decision over Jeremy Wilson at the
197-pound weight class, which -
pulled Oregon to within 14-16.
Freshman Eric Webb won by
forfeit at the heavyweight divi- .
sion, giving the Ducks the lead for
the first time at 20-16.
