OSU Beavers Conclude Sweep Of Washington State

PULLMAN, Wash, February 1.. THE Oregon State women's swim team defeated Washington State University 135-68 in a Pacific-10 Conference dual meet, Saturday.

“We raced a tough and talented Oregon State team,” WSU Head Coach Erica Quam said. “We saw ourselves get season best times in a lot of areas today. I think we stepped up, we’re developing as a team.”

Freshman Erin McCleave was victorious in the 500 freestyle for the Cougars (5:02.90). The Rutherglen, Australia native had the only win on the day for WSU. She was touched out in the 200 freestyle, settling for second with a time of 1:52.45.

“Erin stepped up and had two great races,” Quam said. “It’s really going to help her development.”

On the day the three WSU seniors were honored, senior Sasha Taylor stepped up for the Cougs, placing second in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:44.30.

“It was good to have this meet at home and have the recognition for our seniors,” Quam said. “These seniors have done a great job from a leadership role to what they have done throughout their careers as Cougars.”

Other second place finishers for Washington State included; Lesley Ouellette (100 freestyle), Brianne Kelson (100 backstroke), Monika Povilonyte (100 breaststroke), and the two WSU ‘A’ relays.

With the lose, WSU falls to 1-8 in dual meets this season and 0-5 in Pac-10 competition. The Cougs fell to the Beavers Friday night in a dual meet, 155-103, in Pac-10 competition.

Washington State concludes its six meet homestand, Friday, Feb. 6, as the Cougars host Simon Fraser and Central Washington at 6 p.m. at Gibb Pool.

“We want to get in some races with their top people,” Quam said. “We want to take advantage of our last racing opportunity going into the Pac-10 Championships.”
