■ Duck wrestling No. 16 Sun Devils survive scare, win dual 23-15 BY SCOTT). ADAMS DAILY EMERALD FREELANCE REPORTER The Oregon wrestling team gave No. 16 Arizona State a scare on Sun day as the Ducks came within eight points of pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the season in Pacif ic-10 Conference wrestling. The Ducks were without junior Shane Webster in the lineup and would fall 23-15 but did not go quietly as they won five of the 10 matches in the dual, which featured eight nationally ranked wrestlers. Despite the loss, Oregon (5-7 over all, 2-5 Pac-10) head coach Chuck Kearney was impressed with the way his squad wrestled. “I feel a lot better about how we wrestled today than how we’ve wres tled in the past few competitions,” Kearney said. “Arizona State is the No. 1 team in the conference and winning half of the matches against them without Shane Webster helps us feel like we can close the gap.” The dual started in the 125-pound weight class as Joey Lucas of Oregon faced No. 10 Jeremy Men doza. Mendoza recorded two take downs and a reversal en route to defeating Lucas 8-3. Oregon struck back in the next two matches as juniors Martin Mitchell (133) and Skyler Woods (141) won by decision over John Espinoza and Curtis Ray, respectively. "Skyler wrestled as good as he has all year,” Kearney said. “He is eager to get some more matches under his belt and continue to improve.” The next match featured No. 10 Patrick Williams of Arizona State (7-6-1,4-0) as he faced redshirt fresh man Nate Gipson. Gipson couldn’t keep up with Williams and lost in a major decision, 19-7. The Sun Devils added to their lead in the next match as No. 15 Brian Smith pinned Stew art Bogart (157) with 51 seconds left in the first round. The Ducks trailed 13-6 going into the 165-pound match which pitted Oregon’s No. 17 Joey Bracamonte against freshman Patrick Pitsch. The match made for a slugfest as Bracamonte’s point for advantage time earned him a 3-2 win. Junior Chet McBee (174) of Ore gon filled in for injured Webster and wrestled Rick Renzi. McBee held a 4 3 lead late in the third round and pro tected it to mark a 5-3 win. The Ducks trailed the Sun Devils 13-12 going into the 184-pound match. Arizona State pulled away, however, as No. 11 C.B. Dollaway pinned Tony Roland of Oregon with 1:08 left in the first round. The 197-pound match was the main event of the afternoon as No. 5 Scott Barker of Oregon squared off against No. 7 Ryan Bader. Despite their close rankings, Barker made easy work of Bader and recorded a 7-0 shutout decision. The Sun Devils led 19-15 and needed only for their heavyweight wrestler, No. 4 Cain Velasquez, not to lose by major decision to Oregon’s Chris Dearmon in order to win. Velasquez had little trouble etching a 10-2 victory over Dearmon, which sealed the win for Arizona State. Erik R.

A15-2 streak that started in the final minute of the first half and spanned five minutes into the second half re sulted in a 58-32 lead, Oregon’s largest of the game. USC revived itself with a 12-0 streak to come within 14 points, but it never got any closer. The Ducks recorded season-highs in shooting percentage at .617 (29-of-47) and three-point percentage at .692 (9 of-13). USC shot 34 percent (23-of-67) for the game. “I think we’re a good team, and we’re starting to realize how good we can be,” Kraayeveld said. “We have to play with that every night.” stephenmiller@dailyememld.com Men: Haryasz's 20 points, 20 boards lift Cardinal Continued from page 9 grabbed 20 rebounds. The junior hit eight of his first 10 shots and beat Ore gon post players to seemingly every loose ball. “It was a bad, bad performance for us,” Oregon head coach Ernie Kent told 590 KUGN after the game. “Stan ford played a great first half.” Oregon once again played like a team with no leadership. Kent has re peatedly said the Ducks need sopho more point guard Aaron Brooks and junior forward Ian Crosswhite to play well in order to be successful. Brooks had another off night, fin ishing with 11 points, two turnovers and no assists in 24 minutes. The Seattle native came off the bench for the first time this season after being tardy to the pregame dinner, Kent told the Associated Press. Crosswhite continued his season long slump, finishing with five points on 2-of-7 shooting and com mitted two turnovers in 19 minutes. “You look around the league and the guys who are carrying their teams are veterans,” Kent said. “We’re not doing that for some reason. “When it was Freddie’s (Jones) turn, he took over. When it was (Luke) Ridnour’s turn, he took over. When it was Luke Jackson’s turn, he took over,” Kent said, referring to the three former Oregon standouts. “It’s (Brooks’ and Crosswhite’s) turn to take it over and they're not doing it. They’re leaving the young guys hanging.” “It's good to have good character and great guys. But when it comes game time, you have to bring it. ” Ernie Kent | Oregon head basketball coach Freshman guard Bryce Taylor con tinued to struggle to shoot the ball, connecting on only one of 11 field goal attempts. The Encino, Calif., na tive is now 3-of-25 in Oregon’s last three games, including l-of-9 from three-point range. Taylor had been taking anti-in flammatories for a right-knee in jury he suffered against Arizona on Jan. 20, but said it had not been af fecting his shooting. Malik Hairston continued his solid play of late, scoring 19 points on 9-of-12 shooting and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds. The freshman has scored in double fig ures five straight games. Chamberlain Oguchi finished with 12 points in 12 minutes for the Ducks, while Ray Schafer added six points. Stanford had four players finish in double figures, including Haryasz’s 20 points. Hernandez dropped 19 points and connected on four of sev en three-pointers, Dan Grunfeld scored 14 points, while Rob Little fin ished with 10 points. Next up for Oregon is a trip to Ore gon State on Saturday. Kent said the Ducks need to turn up their intensity level in order to im prove during the second half of the Pac-10 season. “It’s good to have good character and great guys,” Kent said. “But when it comes game time, you have to bring it.” jonroetman@ daily emerald, com Don’t-Do-lt-Yourself Directory PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS LISTED HERE EVERY MONDAY A product of the Oregon Daily Emerald Classifieds.
