The Moses Lake Chiefs handed the Huskies their first In expressing disappoint- ment in the Huskies' inability to defend the tournament title they won last season, Coach Wayne Schutte attributed his charges' problems to "possibly wanting the title too badly".

"After we got behind, the kids seemed to get team "setback" of any kind ira frustrated then were really in almost two years as they won trouble. It was more of a the six-team takedown event, mental thing, and later on the The Chiefs, who were kids were just trying too defeated earlier this year in hard." dual competition by the Four Huskies First Huskies, proved to be better Although the Huskies man- wrestlers on their feet as they piled up 340 points to claim the~ roge 8 - tournament title.

Big Roger Nield, who is averaging at a 23.6 per game clip for the Huskies, had to take charge to pull out the victory against the pesky Knights. The Huskies depended al- most entirely on Nield's scoring punch in the second • half as he connected on eight ~field goals and finished the game with 26 points. More Balance Sought "We want to get more balance in our scoring, but knew we needed the points and went to Nield in the clutch," Preuninger reported. "We kept our poise through the game despite some de- fensive mistakes." Guard Paul Stephens had another strong night for the Huskies as he had 10 assists and only three turnovers, and sophomore Jurgen Webb drew praise from Preuninger for filling in well when Todd Burton got in foul trouble early in the game. Nield had 15 rebounds in the game with Capps getting nine. Preuninger also noted that the Huskie shooting was off a bit in the game as the team dipped below 40 per cent for the first time this season with 23 for 59 from the floor for 39 per cent.
