Beavers have the Ducks*
number once again
■ The Ducks can’t fight
back from an early deficit,
losing to the Beavs for the
second time this season
By Matt O’Neill

Slow starts always kill a team.
That was the case for the Ore
gon wrestling team in its loss to
No. 25 Oregon State.
The Beavers (10-7 overall, 6-3
Pacific-10) handed the Ducks
(11-6 overall, 6-4 Pac-10) their
second loss in two tries against
their rivals from Corvallis.
Oregon State jumped out to an
early lead by winning four of the
first five decisions, eventually
cruising to a 27-12 win.
The Beavers’ early success in
cluded Ben Richards’ pin of
Adam Marino to post a 16-4 lead
for the hometown team. Marino
continued to fill in for the in
jured Brian Watson, who is ex
pected back for the Pac-10 cham
pionships.
Oregon State’s dominance was
capped with a 17-3 decision by
Jason Cooley over Eric Webb in
the heavyweight division.
For Oregon, senior Doug Lee
extended his winning streak to
17-0 in dual meets. The No. 7
junior from Central Point got a
impressive 14-4 win over Clint
Wilson, in which Lee recorded
six takedowns. The win im
proved his overall record to 29-3
on the season.
Two other bright spots for Ore
gon were the wins by Eugene
Harris and Tony Overstake.
Harris, wrestling at 165
pounds instead of his normal
157-pound class, got a 12-4 deci
sion over OSU’s Jake Huffman to
improve his win total to 25, sec
ond only to Lee for the most on
the team.
Overstake continued to
bounce back from his defeat
against Portland State with a 13
3 decision over Andy Frey at the
149-pound division. With the
win, Overstake pushed his sea
son record to 18-8 and 8-2 in
dual matches.
Freshman Jake Leair, who is
coming off an ankle injury,
wrestled in the closest match of
the night. Leair owned a 20-15
ledger advantage, but still lost
to Oregon State’s freshman, Ja
son Lovell. With seven seconds
left, Lovell used an escape and
a point for riding time to win 2
0.
The loss to the Beavers comes
a week before the Ducks head to
the Pac-10 championships. The
tournament is held in Davis,
Calif., on Feb. 26-27.
Oregon men’s golf finishes ninth,
women tee off today
■ The Oregon men golfers
finish well in Hawaii while
the women wait in the
wings for their tournement

The Ducks are back on track.
While the women’s golf team
eagerly awaits their first tourna
ment of 2000, the men took ninth
place at their second tournament
of the year in Hawaii.
Georgia Tech won the Taylor
Made/Waikoloa Intercollegiate by
eight strokes with a one-under par
855 over three rounds. The Ducks
shot a 10-over 866 to earn the
ninth spot, finishing only one
stroke out of eighth. Twenty-four
teams competed in the tourna
ment.
Senior co-captains Ryan Lavoie
and Andrew Tredway led the way
for Oregon. Both scored six-over
220s to finish in a nine-way tie tor
26th. Tredway, in second place af
ter the first round, was hampered
by a second round 82, ten strokes
over par.
Sophomore Brandon Harnden
was three over par after two
rounds, but shot an eight-over 80
in the final round and dropped to
53rd place. Oregon sophomore
Aaron Byers (231, 82nd) and
freshman Chris Carnahan (233,
91st) also placed.
The Ducks did well against Pa
cific-10 Conference foes, Oregon
State finished seventh, only sev
en strokes in front of Oregon.
Stanford, tied with the Ducks af
ter two rounds, finished in eighth
place, a stroke better than Oregon.
The men travel to Cleveland for
the Southwest Intercollegiate next
Monday and Tuesday.
The women take center stage
this week, participating in their
first tournament of the year, the
Arizona Wildcat Invitational in
Tucson, Ariz.
The Ducks hope to continue
the winning trend they set in the
fall, when they took first place
once and second place twice in
five tournaments. The women
have four tournaments this year
before the Pac-10 championships
in April.
The three-round Wildcat Invi
tational starts today and con
cludes Wednesday.
Ducks’ softball team eventually finds its stroke in UNLV Classic
■ Oregon continues its
heavy hitting against Notre
Dame and Fordham
By Matt O'Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
Power is the name of the game.
The Oregon softball team con
tinued to flex its muscles over the
weekend at the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas Tournament.
However, it took the Ducks a
game to regain the offensive
prowess they showed last week
end in Texas. In the first game of
the tournament, Utah blanked
Oregon, 1-0.
Utah pitcher and Eugene native
Kristin Arbogast shut out the
Ducks for only the second time
this year. Oregon’s Connie Mc
Murren threw a complete game
and gave up one run on three hits.
The Ducks’ best chance to score
a run was squandered in the bot
tom of the first inning when Lind
sey Welch was caught in a run
down between third and home on
a Triawn Custer single.
Oregon then bounced back in
the second game of the day to
score three runs to defeat Florida
International, 3-2.
The Ducks used three doubles
to propel them to the win. Holly
Ray scored on an Andrea
Gustafson double in the top of the
fifth. Gustafson then scored on a
Missy Coe double to give the
Ducks the win.
The power explosion contin
ued for Oregon the next day as
they swept both Fordham and
Notre Dame by a score of 11-0 and
11-3, respectively.
The win against Fordham was
highlighted by Ray’s three-run
home run. In the afternoon contest
against the Irish, the Ducks jumped
out to an early 2-0 lead in the first
on a Jill Robinson home run.
In the top of the fifth, Oregon’s
bats came alive, exploding for
seven runs and chasing Irish
pitcher Jennifer Kreich out of the
game. The Ducks’ McMurren
held Notre Dame to only three
runs on five hits to gain her third
win of the season.
