Oregon wrestling
gets first victory,
overcomes Army
The Ducks fell in the first two
matches of the tournament
in Redmond, but win in their
final against the Black Knights
Scott Archer

Oregon finally got what it was
hoping for Friday: a win.
Oregon defeated Army, arguably its
toughest opponent of the day, 23-21.
But it was also the third team the
Ducks faced in the Oregon Wrestling
Classic, an 11
team tourna
DUCK ment held an
WRESTLING ZZoS.
The other two
matches didn't yield the same results
for the Ducks.
The Ducks began Friday's tourna
ment with a loss to Pacific-10 Con
ference counterpart Cal State-Fuller
ton, 34-15. The box score didn't
come close to explaining what tran
spired, as the theme for the season
has been.
To say it was a tough team battle
may not be appropriate. It was three
Oregon wrestlers — senior Jason
Harless, junior Luke Larwin and
freshman Cody Parker — that
scored all 15 points for the Ducks.
"We wrestled flat today and did
not show the emotion we have in
the past," Oregon head coach Chuck
Kearney said. "Cal State-Fullerton
was fired up to wrestle us and they
came out hard."
Oregon then took on San Francis
co State, a late addition to the tour
nament after Air Force was scratched
from the classic.
The Ducks lost 20-12, earning
points from Larwin, sophomores
Skyler Woods and Chet McBee and
senior Jake Leair.
"San Francisco State was the same
way," Kearney said. "They came out
ready for us and we did not rebound
from the first loss."
It was the win against Army that
had the most significance on the
day for the Ducks. And it wasn't
solely because they earned their first
victory of the year. It provided the
Ducks with an opportunity to wres
tle under conditions they hadn't all
season long.
Oregon lost the first five of nine
matches and was trailing Army 21
19 heading into the final match be
tween Army's James Hollis and Ore
gon's Cody Parker in the
heavyweight division. The match
was over from the get-go as Parker
earned a 18-4 victory giving the
Ducks four team points and the
team victory, 23-21.
The Ducks also received strong
performances from McBee and Har
less, who both pinned their oppo
nents for important team points to
ward the victory.
'Army was the best of three teams
we competed against, and we wres
tled hard," Kearney said. "The things
we have been working on in practice
showed up on the mat."
The win comes at an important
time for the Ducks. Oregon is in the
midst of its schedule that features
six different opponents in the next
two weeks. Although the victory is
n't a milestone for the Ducks, it
does provide some confidence for a
team that has already faced No. 1
Oklahoma State and No. 5 Nebras
ka this season.
"As a group we need to continue
to stay on course and keep working
hard at practice," Kearney said.
"Continue to battle and compete in
the practice room and eventually the
things we work on will show up in
competition."
That was the case this Friday, at
least in part, but a more serious cor
relation between the practice room
and the matches can be made if Ore
gon continues to work on its weak
nesses and starts putting together a
string of victories.
It won't be long before Oregon
finds out as the Ducks travel to Stan
ford on Thursday. The trip south be
gins another round of CQmpetition.
This time it comes against three
teams in three days. Oregon faces
UC Davis the night after Stanford,
followed by the Aggie Open in
Davis, Calif.

SPORTS BRIEF
Women's basketball:
No. 1 Duke subdues
13th-ranked North Carolina
DURHAM, N.C. — It appeared it
would be the perfect comeback —
but only for a few seconds.
Down by 11 at halftime, No. 13
North Carolina battled back to tie
top-ranked Duke three times in the
second half in front of a sold-out
, crowd of 9,314 at Cameron Indoor
Stadium on Sunday.
Then the Tar Heels fell apart and
the Cameron Crazies came to a
deafening roar in the closing min
utes. The Blue Devils (13-1, 4-0)
went on a 16-0 run and outscored
I-:
North Carolina 25-3 in the final six
minutes, 38 seconds to win 79-57
in Atlantic Coast Conference
women's basketball.
The win kept Duke's 47-game
ACC winning streak alive and was its
lOth-straight victory against its
biggest rival. The win was also the
500th in program history and came
in front of the program's third home
sellout and second straight sellout
against UNC.
"This was a great game and a great
atmosphere," Duke coach Gail
Goestenkors said. "I thought the
crowd really made a difference for us.
Carolina made some runs and our
crowd really got into the game and
