To many, the NCAA Div. I quarterfinals is the most exciting and intriguing of all rounds. This is when the furr really flies. The athletes with high seeds are no longer facing athletes with no seed or low seeds. For the athletes who scored upsets to reach this round, the goal is to continue chasing their dream.    The team race also starts coming into sharp focus. Oklahoma and Minnesota, both with 10 athletes still in the tournament, hope to use this round to create some space from the field. Talented teams such as Iowa, Michigan, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and others are seeking to close the gap and put themselves in position to move to the top.    125 pounds  No. 1 Stephen Abas (Fresno State) dec.
