The Ducks took a 4-1 lead in the first half but could not maintain it as MIT charged back for the win in the second half. “We were really satisfied,” Ore gon coordinator Serena Woods said. “We played well but probably could have won. But it’s not like we threw the game away.” Stanford was the only other team to represent the Northwest, and the Cardinal walked away with the championship trophy. For the Ducks, they reached both their goals — making it to nationals and placing in the top 10. “We planned our season right, because we peaked at nationals,” Woods said. Oregon can only be optimistic about next year in light of the im provements made by each individ ual throughout the course of the season. Although they will be los ing a few players to graduation, the Ducks have a good group to build on for next year. “I’m definitely excited because we have a solid core group of peo ple coming back,” sophomore co captain Chelsea Dangler said. Jiu-Jitsu gets started Oregon now has a new club sport to add to its roster as the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu club was estab lished last month. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is not a tradi tional-form martial art, but attracts students from all walks of life, grad uate student Jayson Chun said. The sport has become famous by the Ultimate Fighting Champi onships. “It eliminates all punching and kicking,” Chun said. “It’s like a hy bridization of wrestling.” The Oregon team successfully hosted their first tournament a few weeks ago in the Student Recreation Center. The Ducks had 42 people compete in different weight categories. “I’m very pleased with the club,” Chun said. “People were training hard but had no competition.” This art of jiu-jitsu was estab lished by the Gracie family in Brazil in the 1920s. Matches are five minutes long, and contestants win by forcing their opponents to submit. In other words, the object is to put one’s opponent in a posi tion they can not get out of. The sport emphasizes ground fighting and is also a form of self defense. If no one has submitted after five minutes of competition, the winner is determined by a point system. The team currently practices from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in Mat Room No. 2 at the Rec Center. The Ducks will also compete in re gional tournaments over the sum mer and continue practice.

Sports brief Nets pull away from Celtics in fourth quarter EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Ja son Kidd is quiet, and this is a good thing from the perspective of his coaches and teammates. New Jersey’s point guard has been anything but quiet on the floor, where the All-Star has aver aged a triple-double in these East ern Conference finals. But off the court, the Nets’ heart and soul has chosen to say little to his teammates in the form of lead ership and is instead doing a slow burn that has translated to a steady sizzle once the game starts. “When Jason’s real quiet, there’s something going on inside him that you just want to leave alone and let explode when the game starts,” Nets coach Byron Scott said. “He’s coming at games with a vengeance.” Wednesday night proved no ex ception. Riding the intensity of Kidd, the big game of Kenyon Martin and the sweet shooting of Kerry Kittles, the Nets defeated Boston 103-92 before a sellout crowd of 19,850 at Continental Airlines Arena. With the win, New Jersey took a 3-2 lead in the series and moved one victo ry away from the franchise’s first appearance in the NBA Finals. Game 6 is Friday night in Boston. Kidd finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. Kittles had 21 points while Martin and Keith Van Horn each had 19. Boston must win two games with the daunting knowledge that New Jersey has controlled this series. The Nets have led for all but 84 seconds of the last three games combined, including all but 25 Wednesday night. Mindful of the slow starts that forced his team to claw back from large deficits the last two games — once successfully, once not — Celtics coach Jim O’Brien implored his.team to begin better. It didn’t happen. Pierce, who entered Game 5 averaging 26 points in the series, led the Celtics with 24 points Wednesday. — By K.C. Johnson Knight Ridder UO Summer Session Classes Begin June 24.
