Duck wrestlers bury PSU
to finish regular season
There’s nothing like finishing the
regular season on the right foot, and
Oregon (6-10 overall, 3-6 Pacific-10
Conference) did just that as they
buried Portland State (2-17,0-9) 35-11
on Wednesday at the State Fairgrounds
in Salem.
The dual win brought the Ducks’
team season to a close, but several
are set to compete next weekend at
the Pac-10 Championships in San
Luis Obispo, Calif.
The dual commenced in the 197
pound weight class giving sopho
more Tony Rolen of Oregon the
team’s first crack at the Vikings.
Rolen faced Jake Schneider and had
little trouble recording a win by way
of a 9-3 decision.
Rolen’s teammate and fellow sopho
more Cody Parker (Hwt.) wrestled
next against Alan Kennett. Parker
pulled out a close 7-6 victory bringing
his dual record to 4-4 on the year.
Joey Lucas (125) upped Oregon’s
lead to 12-0 by pinning Ryan Far
well. Ensuing forfeits by Portland
State in the 133- and 141-pound
weight divisions nearly sealed the
deal for the Ducks, but the Vikings
would not go quietly.
Eddie Dahlen (149) of Portland
State protected his No. 4 ranking in
the conference with a 13-4 major
decision over Nick Cautrell in the
next match. Dahlen’s teammates
Kainoa Casco (157) and Chris Feist
(165) followed with a decision and
a major decision, respectively.
Those three straight decisions
ended up being Portland State’s
only wins recorded against Or 'gon.
Junior Chet McBee (174) of the
Ducks pinned Josh Gustafson, and
Shane Webster (184) closed out the
win for Oregon with a 16-0 technical
fall win recorded against Sean Mur
phy. With the regular season over,
the Ducks will prepare for the Pac-10
Championships to be held Feb. 27-28.

Men's tennis team takes
on No. 37 Minnesota
The Oregon men’s tennis team is
looking for revenge as they travel to
Minneapolis to battle No. 37
Minnesota today at 3:30 p.m.
The Ducks (6-3 overall) experi
enced a tough 4-3 home loss to the
Golden Gophers last season after
Minnesota captured two of the last
three singles matches to seal
the victory.
The Oregon men seek their first
win against a top-60 team this season
after unsuccessful attempts against
No. 59 Brigham Young, No. 44 Boise
State and No. 43 Florida State.
Despite Minnesota’s poor record
(2-4), all of its losses have come
against top-30 teams.
With a squad consisting of just two
seniors and a combined 10 freshmen
and sophomores, it appears the Gold
en Gophers are experiencing growing
pains in the development of their
younger players.
However, Minnesota senior Avery
Ticer said he has seen a lot of
improvement in the younger players
after each match.
“We have a lot of guys on the
break of really making a big jump in
their game,” Ticer told The
Minnesota Daily.
After the dual match, the Ducks
make their way to Evanston, 111., to
face No. 40 Northwestern (5-3) on
Saturday at 6 p.m.
The Wildcats had a shocking
5-2 upset victory over No. 24 North
Carolina on Jan. 30.
Meanwhile, Oregon will be with
out senior Manuel Kost, who has
been unavailable due to a wrist in
jury. Kost hasn’t played since Feb. 5
when the Ducks fell to BYU, 6-1.
He is expected to return to action
next weekend against Texas Tech
on Feb. 26.
The women’s tennis team returns
to action Feb. 25 and 26 when it
travels to face the Arizona schools.
The Ducks are 8-1 this season
and suffered their first loss to
No. 9 Washington last weekend.

Men: Hairston pours in 21
points on 83 percent shooting

capitalized on it.”
Keeping Oregon somewhat close
was the play of freshman Malik Hair
ston. The swingman led the Ducks
with 21 points on 10-of-12 shooting.
Fellow freshman Bryce Taylor
also played well for the Ducks, scor
ing 15 points, including 3 of 6 from
behind the three-point arc, and two
blocked shots.
“I thought the freshman played
very well for us tonight," Kent said.
“Malik played well and did some
good things for us. I told Bryce he
still left about 10 points on the floor
if he would run on the wings like
Luke (Jackson) and Freddie (Jones)
used to do.”
Oregon kept it close in the first
half and led 11-8 with a chance to
build on it when Aaron Brooks
threw away a pass on a four-on-one
break for the Ducks. Brooks strug
gled with turnovers all night, com
mitting a season-high 10 to go along
with 10 points, seven rebounds and
six assists.
Despite the turnovers, Oregon still
led 21-18 after Brooks hit a three
pointer, but the Wildcats pulled
ahead to end the half, capped off by a
Stoudamire three-pointer as time ex
pired giving them a 43-34 advantage
at the break.
“We played an excellent first half,
except letting Stoudamire get open
for that three,” Kent said.
Also playing well for the Wildcats
was another Portland native. Chris
Rodgers hit some key three-pointers
and made great passes in his
11-point, nine-assist performance
against the Ducks.
Oregon travels to Tempe, Ariz.,
next to take on Arizona State in a
game that could help the Ducks out
of ninth place in the conference, a po
sition that would keep them out of
the eight-team Pac-10 Tournament. A
win against the Sun Devils would
bring Oregon within half a game of
the coveted eighth-place spot.
The Sun Devils are coming off a
75-73 victory Thursday night against
Oregon State and are now 6-8 in
the conference.
The game against the Sun Devils
tips off at 4 p.m. at the Wells
Fargo Arena.

Softball: Ducks hope to get
more offensive production
Continued from page 9
Oregon’s biggest concern, after
scoring only two runs in the last
two games, is getting more offen
sive production out of its lineup as
well as correcting some of its
defensive woes.
“This (past weekend) just
showed us that we’re not there
yet,” Boskovich said. “We need to
work on our offense and defense
to get ready for the Pac-lOs.”
One person who doesn’t need to
work on her offense is Barnes. She
hit her first-career home run dur
ing last weekend’s tournament and
went on to hit two more.
“I was kind of surprised in my
self,” said the 5-foot-4 Barnes. “It’s
not my job to hit the bombs.”
Boskovich said the team was also
surprised by her offensive output.
“She’s been working real hard
and it’s funny to see this little 5-foot
nothing dropping bombs left and
right,” Boskovich said. “It’s like see
ing a little girl driving a huge lifted
truck. It makes you laugh.”
Oregon will open the invitation
al against Portland State today
at 10 a.m.
The Ducks haven’t lost to the
Vikings since head coach Kathy
Arendsen took over (8-0). Portland
State is led offensively by Laura
Segall, who is hitting .357
this season.
At noon today, Oregon faces San
Diego. The Toreros (1-2) are led on
the mound by Erin Harmonson.
She is 1-1 this season with six
strikeouts and a 1.00 ERA.
Saturday, the Ducks will face
host UC Riverside for the second
time this season at 2 p.m. Oregon
won the first meeting 11-3 at the
UNLV Desert Classic on Feb. 12.
The Highlanders (1-8) have a
tough start to their season, have
lost their last six games. Jessica
Black leads the team offensively
with a .417 batting average.
Oregon shortstop Breanne Sabol
has been the hot bat for the Ducks
so far this season. The junior is
leading the team in hitting with a
.545 average and is tied for first in
RBIs with six. She also has the
team’s longest consecutive starts
streak, with today being her 128th
consecutive game started.
