Felicia Lee Back From Shoulder Injury as Stanford Sweeps Pacific

STANFORD, California, January 6. STANFORD rang in the New Year with a 159-92 men's swimming dual meet win over Pacific Saturday at the Avery Aquatic Center. The Cardinal recorded the top time in each of the events on the day.

“This was a great chance for us to race after a great holiday training period,” Goldman Family Director of Men's Swimming Ted Knapp said. “The team had the opportunity to improve on their mental toughness and focus. We're looking forward to getting back into the academic calendar and traveling to Arizona in late January.”

Next up for No. 8 Stanford (2-0) is the Bruin Diving Invitational (Jan. 11-13) in Los Angeles, Calif. The Cardinal will travel to Arizona State (Jan. 25) and Arizona (Jan. 26) for a Pac-12 Conference twinbill later this month.
