UCLA Tops San Diego, 104-57

LOS ANGELES, California, January 6. THE UCLA swimming and diving team improved to 6-1 this the season with a 104-57 win over the UC San Diego Tritons on Saturday, as the Bruins won every event during the competition at the Sunset Recreation Center. UCLA now holds a 12-0 all-time record over UCSD.

Originally, the swim events were to be held at the Men's Gym Pool (also known as Student Activities Center), but a pool malfunction moved the event to the Sunset Rec Center as diving and swimming events were held simultaneously.

In the 500 Butterfly Relay, the Bruin team of freshman Hope Thurman, Hackett, Amy Thurman and Fuccillo won in a time of 5:42.97.
