13 rebounds. Sophomore center
Andrea Bills would bring in nine
points and seven rebounds for
the Ducks.
The Phoenix were led by
Johnson with 17 points and five
rebounds, followed by senior
Elizabeth Dudley with 12 points,
and Dudley also accounted for six
of her team’s 17 steals.
Oregon walks away from
Wisconsin with its first loss, but
the long weekend for the Ducks
is far from over. Oregon has just
48 hours to travel to the Virgin
Islands to face South Carolina
(2-0) tomorrow and No. 18
Boston College on Friday.
Both teams will present a strong
challenge for Oregon (1-1). The
Ducks have faced the Gamecocks
only once, in 1979, where they
lost, and have never played
Boston College.
“These are all important lessons
for a young team that is out here on
the road,” Smith said. “We are going
to have to quickly take the lessons
and put them behind us and get
ready to face South Carolina.”

Wrestling

157 weight class.
Overstake will compete against a
strong class Saturday, including All
American sophomore Jake Percival
from Ohio. Percival finished fourth
in last year’s national meet.
Harless, Larwin and Webster
were all given mentions this week
as wrestlers to watch from the
national wrestling website
Intermatwrestle.com. Intermat
handles the nationally-recognized
rankings of the nation’s teams and
individuals. Webster was named
top newcomer on the Duck squad
last year.
Oregon will preview its Dec. 14
home match against Nebraska by
competing in Saturday’s
Invitational against the
Gornhuskers. Last year, the
Ducks won a close match against
Nebraska on a tiebreaker.
The Ducks have 18 members of
last year’s team back for this sea
son. Oregon finished second in the
Pac-10 and 24th in the nation last
year. Shaun Williams and All
American Eugene Harris led the
Ducks last year, both advancing far
into the NCAA Tournament. Harris
finished fourth in the NCAA
Tournament in his weight class.
With Williams and Harris grad
uating last spring, the Ducks have
point-scoring holes to fill. The
team has many experienced
wrestlers from last season return
ing, including five who competed
in last year’s NCAA meet.
Overstake is the only returning
wrestler who made it past the first
day of national competition.
The Ducks open their home
season against Oregon State on
Dec. 13 at Mac Court and host
Nebraska the following night.

Pacific, which plays in the Big
West Conference along with North
ridge, could challenge the Ducks as
did the Matadors, who won their
conference and went to the NCAA
Tournament in 2000-01. Pacific
finished last season with a 20-10
record, beat Northridge in the first
round of the Big West Tournament
but lost in the second round to
Utah State.
But few players from that team
remain, as Pacific graduated four
starters and nine total seniors in the
offseason. This season, the Tigers
lost their opener to Santa Clara by
six points before beating Lamar in
overtime Sunday.
Kent said it doesn’t matter who
Oregon plays this season.
“The thing these guys need to un
derstand is that it’s very similar to
football; we do have a target,” Kent
said. “For Cal-State Northridge,
that’s the big game. They don’t fear
you, and they’re going to get after
you, just like Pepperdine will and
Pacific coming in here, and that’s
"What I'm going to go
back and work on after
we rest this basketball
team is getting back to
a rhythm."
Ernie Kent
Oregon head coach
why we put this schedule together.
Because even those schools whose
names aren’t as big as Kansas and
Jeremy Forrest Emerald
Andre Joseph (right) and the Ducks will focus on defense this week.
Cincinnati, they’re going to try to
get after you and try to beat you.”
But not many teams have beat
en Oregon at home recently. The
Ducks have won 18 straight games
at McArthur Court, a record that
dates back to February of 2001,
and have beaten 15-straight non
conference opponents at The Pit.
The streak is second-longest in
Oregon history. The Ducks won 23
in a row from 1937-39, and if they
keep up their pace, the current
team will try to break the record
against Arizona on Jan. 2.
Until then, the Ducks are just try
ing to work on turkey and rest after
a long weekend of basketball.
“There were a lot of times in
(Monday’s) game where, from a
mental and physical toughness
point, we were challenged a little
bit, and luckily, we came out of it as
the game went on,” Kent said.
The Ducks are likely to be chal
lenged mentally and physically
again Saturday, but this time they’ll
be ready.
