Wrestling

Oregon had a tough Friday
in California.
The Ducks wrestled two complete
dual meets in six hours, beginning with
a win and ending with a loss.
Fresno State hosted both Oregon
and Menlo College in its gymnasium,
with each team wrestling the other two
on Friday afternoon.
The Ducks (7-10 overall, 5-3 Pacific
10 Conference) started the day with a
win over Menlo College, 31-10. Menlo,
ranked No. 4 in the Coaches Poll, is an
NAIA school.
Sophomore Martin Mitchell added
another pin to his list. Mitchell pinned
Menlo’s Isaac Pumarejo at the 2:41
mark of the 125 match. The pin is
Mitchell’s seventh at 125 this season.
Casey Hunt had a 14-3 major deci
sion over his Menlo opponent at 141.
The senior earned his second four
point major decision in as many
Big three

“They had a great game plan,” Rid
nour said. “You have to give Cal credit
for playing so well in Mac Court. ”
After a slow first half, in which he
scored just four points on 2-for-8
shooting, Tamir led the Bears’ offen
sive barrage in the second half, fin
ishing with 18 points. In four games

a backcourt violation on the Bears,
and Ridnour hit an NBA-range
three-pointer with Cal guard
Richard Midgely hanging all over
him. As the crowd went nuts, Rid
nour then stole the ball on the next
possession, and again on the posses
sion after that in a de-pantsing of
Cal’s Brian Wethers on a fast break.
All that put Oregon within 10
points, but the Ducks missed shots
on the next possessions, and for
ward Robert Johnson fouled out of
the game. After another Short dunk
matches. The two major decisions are
also Hunt’s first of his collegiate career.
Senior Tony Overstake, at 149,
earned a four-point major decision
over Menlo’s Nickolos Saldivar, 11-2.
Overstake is 7-1 in dual meet major
decisions this season.
Redshirt freshman Chet McBee
earned his first dual meet pin this sea
son. McBee pinned Sean VanDerWende
atthe3:45 mark of the 157 match.
Luke Larwin fought for a 3-2 deci
sion in the 164 match. The sophomore
beat Eddie Lucatero, ranked No. 7 in
theNAIAatl65.
No. 11 Shane Webster earned his fifth
technical fall of the season with a 25-9
defeat of Howard Falvey. Webster, at the
174 weight class, has been ranked in the
poll throughout the season.
Freshman Tony Rolen won his sixth
match of the season with a 4-0 deci
sion over Jeff Dahl.
Rolen’s win put the Ducks ahead 31
4. They lost the last two matches of the
meet, winning the dual 31-10.
The Ducks had time to rest while
Menlo and Fresno State wrestled, then
Oregon stepped back on the mat to
battle Fresno State.
The Ducks lost a tough match, 19
12. Oregon was ahead 12-10, but lost
against Oregon, Tamir is averaging
25.3 points per game.
Gal (16-4, 9-2) shot 68.4 percent
from the field in the second half, si
lencing the sold-out Mac Court crowd.
“(Gal) is as good as any team in
the conference,” Oregon center Matt
Short said. “We slowed down Tamir
compared to what he usually does
against us, but Wethers and Shipp
were phenomenal.”
After getting swept in Arizona last
and Ridnour trey, Oregon got within
six points at 71-65 with less than
three minutes left, and the Ducks
started fouling. That’s when the
game seemed to simply slip from
Oregon’s grasp.
“They just hit their shots down
the stretch,” a visibly downtrodden
Ridnour said after the game.
“They’re a veteran team; they know
how to hit those shots. They hit
their shots, we didn’t, and that was
the story right there.”
Ridnour led the Ducks with 19
points but fouled out of the game,
the first time he’s ever fouled out of
a game in three years at Oregon. He
also extended his record streak of
the last three matches by decision to
give the Bulldogs the win.
“We wresded hard and tough, and it
was an exciting match to watch,” head
coach Chuck Kearney said. “We just
let a couple get away from of us.”
Mitchell and Overstake both won 6
3 decisions over their Bulldog oppo
nents. Overstake improved to 18-7 on
the season at 149.
Larwin earned an 11-7 decision and
Webster followed with a 6-4 win. Web
ster is 24-4 on the season.
Redshirt junior Jason Harless, who
is 15-11 on the season at 133, did not
travel with the team because of a
knee injury.
The Ducks have a week to prepare
for their next match — Civil War,
part two.
In the season’s first Civil War in
Eugene, Oregon came from behind
to win, 18-15. The Ducks were
down 15-3 when Mitchell pinned
his opponent. Harless, Hunt and
Overstake won their matches, giv
ing Oregon the win.
The season’s second Civil War will
be held in Corvallis on Sunday.

week, Cal completed its sweep of Ore
gon and Oregon State to claim sole
possession of second place in the con
ference, one game behind Arizona.
“(Mac Court) is one of the toughest
courts in the country,” Tamir said.
“We’re fighting for the Pac-10 tide, and
if you don’t win here, you aren’t going
to win the Pac-10. Arizona did it, and
we knew we needed to do it.”
