Oregon takes 14th in Vegas
■ Oregon wrestlers finish 14th
out of 52 teams at the Las Vegas
Invitational despite injuries
in three weight classes
By Chris Cabot
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon team wrestled their
way to 14th place this weekend at
the annual Cliff Keen Las Vegas In
vitational in Las Vegas.
Two other Pacific-10 Confer
ence foes placed in the top 10 at
the two-day tournament that in
volved 52 squads from around
the country: Arizona State fin
ished fifth with 97 points, while
Oregon State earned the ninth
spot with 73.5 points.
No. 3 Michigan won the compe
tition with 163 points, and West
Virginia was the runner-up.
Eric Webb, Oregon’s heavy
weight competitor, and 133-pound
Jason Harless had the best finishes
for the Ducks, both placing sev
enth in their respective classes.
Webb had a good day Friday, win
ning all three of his matches and
picking up his first pin of the sea
son against Pacific’s John Small
1:45 into the match. “I really think
we are continuing to gain confi
dence and continuing to wrestle
better,” head coach Chuck Kearney
said. “This is a chance to gain ex
perience and prepare for the rest of
the season, and I’m pleased with
how we performed.”
Harless was 3-1 Friday, earn
ing two major decisions and los
ing only to Michigan’s No. 8 Fo
ley Dowd.
At 157, Tony Overstake was also
3-1 on the first day of the match
with two major decisions and a
loss to Michigan’s No. 10 Ryan
Bertin.
Junior Brian Watson (141)
placed eighth and Las Vegas native
Eugene Harris lost in his semifinal
match to Chris Vitale of Lehigh in
the 165-pound class.
Three Oregon wrestlers were
held out of the competition due to
minor injuries in the 125, 149 and
197 weight classes.
“It’s tough to come in and not
have three wrestlers, but I think we
are where we want to be and
would have broken into the top 10
if we had a full roster,” Kearney
said. “We wrestled hard, but we
need to capitalize on some of (our)
opportunities.”
The men wrestle next Dec. 12 in
a dual meet at Oregon State.

Women’s
continued from page 18
senior Edniesha Curry deflated the
Jayhawks’ momentum, allowing
the Ducks to pull out to a 10-point
lead, 61-51, with only 2:27 left.
“Kansas wouldn’t die. They kept
fighting back,” Williams said. “It
was a good test for us on the road,
and this will make us a better team.”
Senior forward Alyssa Fredrick
led Oregon with 15 points and
eight rebounds against the Jay
hawks. The Ducks were outre
bounded by Kansas 31-29 but held
the advantage in second chance
points, 11-5.
On Friday, the Ducks jumped
out to a quick 14-4 lead in the first
half against St. John’s, and saw it
balloon to 47-18 by the end of the
first half. Oregon opened the game
by hitting four straight treys, two
each by Craighead and Curry.
“We played a really good first
half,” Smith said. “We kept our in
tensity throughout the game even
though we led by a large margin. We
lived up to our standards tonight.”
“We kept our intensity
throughout the game even
though we led by a large
margin. We lived up to our
standards tonight.”

Oregon head coach
Craighead nailed her first six
threarpointers en route to her
game-high 20 points. As a team,
Oregon was 7-of-12 from three
point range against the Red Storm
in the first half, while St. John’s
shot 36 percent from the field.
Although the Ducks were
outscored 34-28 in the second half,
Oregon’s 29-point lead that result
ed from their play in the first half
was more than enough to get them
the win, 75-52.
Oregon was 29-of-60 from the
field in the game, but more impor
tant, they kept their hot shooting
from beyond the arc alive. They
were ll-of-23 against the Red
Storm, with Curry and Williams
chipping in with two of their own
and freshman Kedzie Gunderson
contributing with one as well.
After their win against Kansas,
the Ducks have their first two
game winning streak of the sea
son and are beginning to finally
gel as a team. They return to Eu
gene to face Utah on Saturday at
McArthur Court.
“We’re starting to click and real
ly get a rhythm — both defensive
ly and offensively,” Williams said.
