Huskies and Trojans get
the best of Oregon tennis
■The Oregon tennis teams
endured tough losses at the
hands of ranked Pac-10 foes
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
A little bit everything greeted
the Oregon tennis teams this week
end: a win, some losses and a little
rain.
The Oregon
men won their
fourth straight
match on Fri
day, but on Sun
day, No. 6
Washington
came into the
Student Tennis Center and
snapped the Ducks’ streak.
In women’s action, Oregon ex
tended its losing streak to three
matches in a loss to No. 12 South
ern California before an unexpect
ed spell of rain cancelled its match
with No. 18 UCLA.
The men were thinking upset
against eh Huskies after winning
the doubles point against Washing
ton. Jason Menke and Buck Mink,
playing at the No. 2 spot, defeated

Dillon Ruby and Ari Strasberg by a
score of 9-7, while Oded Teig and
Chris King teamed up to earn a 9-8
victory over Matt Hanlin and An
drej Bizjak.
Unfortunately, the men would
score no more.
The Ducks were held winless in
all six singles matches. David
Becker and Greg Durbourdieu,
playing at the No. 4 and 6 spots,
forced a third set from their oppo
nents but were unable to pick up
points.
Men’s head coach Chris Russell
said there were positves and nega
tives in his team’s effort.
“We played lots of close sets,”
Russell said. “There were certain
matches that could have been clos
er if we had made better decisions.
We didn’t have quite the detail that
we needed to in the third sets. But
overall, it was a good effort.”
The men fell to 5-6 on the sea
son and 0-3 in the Pacific-10 Con
ference.
Meanwhile, the women trav
elled to California to take on the
Los Angeles schools. But USC was
too much for the Ducks to handle,
as the Trojans swept doubles
matches en route to a 5-2 win on
Friday.
Oregon’s freshmen came
through with big wins for the
Ducks.
Freshman Davina Mendiburu
managed to defeat USC’s Tiffany
Brymer by scores of 7-6, 2-6 and 6
4 at the No. 5 spot. Teammate
Courtney Nagle won her match
against Krissy Hamilton-Heinberg,
6-4, 6-1 at the No. 6 spot.
But nothing else went Oregon’s
way. Mendiburu and teammate
Janice Nyland battled in doubles
play, but were defeated by USC’s
duo of Tiffany Brymer and Jewel
Peterson, 8-4, at No. 1 doubles.
Oregon’s two other tandems were
shut down 8-0.
The Ducks were supposed to
face UCLA at noon Saturday, but a
rare occurence of L.A. showers
cancelled that match.
The Oregon men’s next match
takes place at 2 p.m. Saturday
against Portland at the Student
Tennis Center in Eugene. The
women travel to Fresno, Calif., this
Saturday and Sunday to take on
Loyola Marymount and Fresno
State.
Wrestling
continued from page 7
out of contention.
Three Ducks will wrestle in the
championship finals today at 6:30
p.m. Senior All-Americans Lee
and Chael Sonnen cruised through
the first three
rounds of play
while sopho
more Brian
Watson earned
an upset in the
semifinals for
his first finals
appearance.
No. 6-ranked
Sonnen (32-5)
racked up 42
points off two
major decisions and a technical
fall and will face Boise State’s No.
5 Rusty Cook at 197 pounds. Son
nen is 1-2 against Cook this season.
Defending conference champion
Lee lived up to expectations as the
top seed at 184 pounds. Lee (30-5)
scored body slamming takedowns
in each of his matches to advance.
Lee will wrestle third seed Jeremy
Wilson (27-8) of Portland State in
the finals. Lee defeated Wilson 2-1
WEBB
on Jan. 12.
Watson avenged an earlier loss
to Oregon State's Ben Richards, the
No. 2 seed, with a 3-1 decision.
Richards led the match 1-0 for
two-and-a-half periods before Wat
son escaped, scored a takedown
and held on for the win. Watson
will face No. 11 David Douglas of
Arizona State in the finals.
“Brian wrestled extremely tough
tonight,” Kearney said. “He got the
win against the Oregon State kid
after a questionable call up in Cor
vallis (on Feb. 14).”
Three more Ducks were in a po
sition to reach the finals but
dropped close decision and fell
into the consolation bracket.
Top seeded 125-pounder Shaun
Williams saw his finals run come
to an end with an overtime loss to
No. 5 Reuben DeLeon of Cal State
Bakersfield. Williams and DeLeon
exchanged takedowns and escapes
through three periods for a 9-9
deadlock. Thirteen seconds into
the sudden-death overtime period,
DeLeon turned Williams for the
win.
Junior Eugene Harris and sopho
more Tony Overstake were unable
to overcome severe knee injuries
