UO wrestling set to face
four teams in one dav
■The Oregon wrestling team
will face some Pacific
Northwest rivals at the
Oregon Classic Duals
By Robbie McCallum
Oregon Daily Emerald
To go from facing the top
wrestling programs in the nation to
facing non-Division I wrestling
teams from Oregon could be consid
ered a little bit of a letdown.
But in the Ore
gon wrestling
team’s case, low
er-level competi
tion may be just
what the Ducks
need.
Not that No. 14
Oregon is overlooking Southern
Oregon, Portland State, Central
Washington and Pacific, but a trip
to Portland is much less daunting
than last week’s trip to Oklahoma to
face the No. 3 and No. 6 teams in the
nation.
“The big challenge that you face
after wrestling big powers, then
wrestling people of lesser caliber, is
keeping your intensity up,” Oregon
head coach Chuck Kearney said.
“We are going to have to get up
WRISTUNG
to wrestle.”
The Ducks return to action in the
state of Oregon today at the Oregon
Classic Duals at Portland’s Memori
al Coliseum. The Duals are a round
robin tournament in which each
team faces four other teams from
around the Pacific Northwest. Ore
gon takes on Southern Oregon at 10
a.m., followed by Portland State at
noon.
Southern Oregon is currently
ranked fifth among NAIA schools
and boasts a 6-1 dual match record.
The match against Portland State
will count toward the Pacific-10
Conference standings.
The Vikings boast two players
who are ranked nationally. No. 13
John Fasana will face the Ducks’ No.
14 Shaun Williams at 125 pounds.
At 184 pounds, Oregon’s Doug Lee
will take on No. 19 Jeremy Wilson
of Portland State.
After a break in the afternoon,
Oregon will return to action at 6
p.m. against Central Washington
and then tangle with Pacific two
hours later. Central Washington is
ranked No. 18 among Division II
schools while Pacific is 15th among
Division III teams.
“Their seasons will be made by
beating an Oregon wrestler,”
Kearney said. “They are still
solid wrestlers.”
The Ducks will be the highest
ranked team at the Duals and bring
in a strong lineup with six wrestlers
ranked nationally, five in the top-10.
Williams is the highest ranked at
sixth among 125-pounders.
Senior All-Americans Chael Son
nen and Lee are ranked seventh at
184 and 197 pounds, respectively,
while sophomores Brian Watson
and Eric Webb remained in the top
10 at 133 pounds and heavyweight,
respectively.
“We’ve made some real big im
provements over the last month in
how tough we compete,” Kearney
said. “We’re no longer a bunch of
guys who walk into a gym and feel
like we can’t compete. We’re mak
ing progress across the board and
hope to continue to make improve
ments.”
The Duals mark the last multi
team tournament of the season be
fore the Pac-10 Championships on
Feb. 25-26 and the National Tourna
ment on March 15-17.
“We’re on the home stretch in my
mind because every weekend here
on out we have one weekend
match,” Kearney said. “That allows
you to get better training in without
traveling days.”
Oregon women s tennis swings
into action against Pac-10 foes
■The women’s tennis team
will get a sneak preview of
the conference at the annual
Pac-10 indoor meet
By Robbie McCalium
Oregon Daily Emerald
After two months of preseason
tournaments and a holiday break,
the Oregon women’s tennis team
gets down to
this
business
weekend.
The Ducks
travel to Seattle
for the Pacific-10
Indoors at the
Nordstrom Ten
nis Center. All
conference teams will be in atten
dance for the annual meet, which is
a four-flight tournament.
Sophomore Monika Geiczys
leads the Oregon contingent. The
Sopot, Poland, native was the
Ducks’ No. 2 singles player last year
and finished the season ranked
among the nation’s top-100 by the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Supporting Geiczys is a band of
juniors with significant varsity ex
perience. Adeline Arnaud, Janice
Nyland and Valerie Young are all
two-year varsity lettermen with two
NCAA tournament appearances.
Added to the mix is junior Vickie
Gunnarson, who is 3-2 in singles
matches since transferring from
Northern Arizona.
Freshman Courtney Nagle adds
talent as well. Nagle won her flight
of the San Diego State Fall Classic
in October and should make an im
mediate impact for Oregon.
Sophomore Jeanette Mattsson,
another valuable asset, rounds out
the roster and is 4-2 on the year.
There will also be two flights of
doubles play. Oregon has put to
gether teams of Geiczys and Nagle,
Nyland and Gunnarson and Ar
naud and Mattsson.
The Pac-10 has always been a
tough conference in women’s ten
nis, and this year shouldn’t be any
different. All nine schools with ten
nis programs are ranked, and five of
them are in the top-15, including
top-ranked Stanford.
The Ducks are ranked eighth
among Pac-10 schools despite a No.
54 national ranking.
Top individuals conference-wide
are Laura Kalvaria and Laura
Granville of Stanford, and Jewel Pe
terson of Southern California.
Oregon’s Pac-10 regular season
begins on Jan. 20 against No. 1
Stanford and No. 5 California.
Stanford women shocked by OSU
The Associated Press
CORVALLIS — Felicia Ragland
scored 20 points as Oregon State
built a huge halftime lead and
went on to upset No. 24 Stanford
81-65 Thursday night.
Oregon State (9-3, 1-1 Pac-10)
shot 62 percent in the first half and
led by as many as 28 points. The
Beavers forced 30 Stanford
turnovers, tying a school record for
the Cardinal.
Lauren St. Clair had 21 points to
lead the Cardinal (7-6,1-2), which
has lost two straight conference
games for the first time since 1993
94.
Stanford rallied briefly midway
through the second half with a 23
6 run, with St. Clair scoring 12
points to cut the lead to 65-58 with
3:43 left.
Ragland made a 3-pointer on
Oregon State’s next possession,
and the Beavers put the game
away on a sequence that began
with Ragland getting fouled. She
made the first free throw and
missed the second, but teammate
Ericka Cook grabbed the rebound,
put it back and converted a three
point play to make it 72-58 with
two minutes to go.
Nicole Funn added 17 points
and eight rebounds for the
Beavers, and Cook had 16 points.
Nicole Powell added 16 points
for the Cardinal.
The Beavers scored the first 11
points of the game, and Stanford’s
careless ball-handling helped it
extend the lead to 39-11 with 61/2
minutes left. Oregon State led 45
24 at the half.
Nowhere to run to. Nowhere to hide.
