and leadership has also created a
bit of a legend for the 184
pounder.
“I had heard about him before
I came here,” said Harris, a jun
ior college transfer. “I heard that
he was a tough guy and about
how dominating and powerful
he is.”
That domination has allowed
Lee to run through the Pac-10 un
defeated, boasting a 17-0 record
in dual matches, earning a No. 8
ranking and a third trip to nation
als, which he feels he is more
ready for this year — from March
He was wrestling the
No. 6 guy in the nation
and made him look like
he never wrestled before.

head coach
16 to 18 — than in any of his pre
vious appearances.
“I feel that I have rounded my
technique more,” Lee said. “I
have more of an offensive at
tack.”
One of the factors in his devel
opment this season is that the
team is younger than last sea
son’s squad was. Lee said that
has forced him to take more of a
leadership role as one of the few
upperclassmen on the team.
“I’m the kind to lead by exam
ple,” Lee said. “This year I’ve
had to become a little more ver
bal because I am more of an up
perclassman.”
While he has become more vo
cal this year, Lee is not the type
of person to get up in front of the
team and give a big motivational
speech to fire up his fellow team
mates. He simply goes out there
and shows what it takes to be
successful.
That leadership has helped
some of the younger grapplers re
alize how a great wrestler works
and what it takes to become one.
A good indication was his
match at this year’s Pac-10
Championships. Lee took control
of a higher-ranked Lionel Halsey
from Cal State Bakersfield, win
ning his second consecutive title.
“He wrestles guys like he did
[for] the Pac-10 title,” head coach
Chuck Kearney said. “He was
wrestling the No. 6 guy in the na
tion and made him look like he
never wrestled before. It lets our
wrestlers know that they could
do the same thing.
“If they put in the work and
develop the mind set, then they
too can do the same things that
Doug does.”
Harris points to the match
against Halsey as Lee’s best
match of the season so far. It’s the
perfect instance of what Lee
means to the team.
“You see someone dominate
like he did and you try to pick
that up,” Harris said. “Usually if
he does that, then by the third
period, his opponents have given
up already. That’s what he did
against Halsey.”
Both Kearney and Lee are hop
ing that he uses his domination
at the Pac-lOs as a spring board
for the national tournament.
“That was one of my best per
formances,” Lee said. “I just got
to keep the ball rolling now. Go
off of that and take the positives
and how I felt during that
match.”
Kearney echoes his player’s
ideas but still feels that Lee has
n’t yet recognized how good he
really is.
“Understanding that he is one
of three premier guys in the
country — once he starts to do
that, he’ll do some things that are
pretty special,” Kearney said.
Despite all the honors and suc
cess Lee has achieved, he still
has a humility about him. And
he realizes that he still has a long
way to go.
“You can’t look at it like you’re
defending your title,” Lee said.
“You have to go in there and
wrestle because you can get beat
by anyone at anytime. You have
to go after it.”

In the case of a tie, two- or
three-way, the following formula
will determine which team re
ceives the automatic bid.
The team with the better
record
against the
next high
est-placed
team in the
final confer
ence stand
ings gets the
automatic
bid that
goes to the conference’s first
place team.
Should Stanford beat the
Wildcats and clinch the tie, then
the automatic bid will likely go
to Stanford. That is, unless Ari
zona drops further behind in the
race by losing to California on
Saturday.
Confused yet?
If it’s still tied after all that, the
automatic qualifier will be deter
mined on a coin flip by the Pac
10 commissioner.
Keeping in theme, the only
consistent variable here is that
it’s impossible to predict what’s
going to happen with these in
consistent teams.
Predicting Pac-10
postseason awards
Three players — the Bruins’
Nicole Kascmarski, Washing
ton’s Loree Payne and Stanford’s
Jamie Carey — all deserve con
sideration for Pac-10 freshman of
the year award, won last season
by the Ducks’ Williams, who is
now up for the Pac-10 player of
the year honor.
Like most things in the Pac-10,
freshman of the year is unpre
dictable too.
So, naturally: Expect the
award to go to ... Carey.
Payne, a six-foot shooting
guard from tiny Havre, Mont.,
might be the best all-around
player of the trio. Like her coun
terparts, she’s started all 25
games and is fourth in the con

ference in scoring, averaging
16.8 points per game on a ninth
place team that averages 66
points per contest.
Nicole Kascmarski has, at mo
ments, lived up to her spectacu
lar billing coming to UCLA. The
5-11 New Yorker jumped in at
point guard early in the season in
place of an injured Erica Gomez,
and has since moved to shooting
guard.
Through it all, she’s improved,
averaging nearly 12 points per
game in Pac-10 play. But her Bru
ins team, like her, has been
streaky — beating the Cardinal
last Friday and then getting
thumped by Cal on Sunday —
and won’t finish higher than sec
ond.
But the 5-6 Carey, the Cardi
nal’s next great point guard, has
averaged 12.3 points per game in
the Pac-10, is first in three-point
shooting percentage — hitting 47
percent of her shots behind the
arc — and has been a major
clutch contributor on a team that
could win the conference title.
