NCAA Div. I Women: UCLA Pounds WSU, Squeaks by Pacific; Tigers Beat Cougars

LOS ANGELES, CA., Jan. 19. COACH Cyndi Gallagher's Big Bad UCLA Bruins, defending women's Pac-10 champs, took their wrath out on Washington State and Pacific this aftrenoon.

The double-dual competition was swum at UCLA's Rec Center Pool.

The result was UCLA's second victory of the new year, a resounding 213-49 win over Coach Rocco Aceto's WSU Cougars. In the UCLA-Pacific dual the Bruins won a squeaker, 132-130 over Coach Ray Looze's Lady Tigers.

The Bruins are now 9-2 for the season, with their only loses to conference foes Arizona and Arizona State on the road in November.

The Bruin-Tiger dual came down to the final 400 free relay, where the Bruins' "B" squad edged UOP's "A" team, 3:35.27-3:35.55 to seal the victory. These teams actually finished fourth and fifth. In the overall race, UOP was first (3:27.04) to the Bruins' runner-up 3:27.71.

In the Tiger-Cougar dual, UOP defeated WSU, 188-74.

The Bruins were led by soph sprinter Sara Platzer, who won the 50-100 frees (23.66-50.91). She also led off the "A" team's second-place 400 free relay squad.

UOP scored wins via doubles from Sarah Marshall in the backstrokes (57.55-2:04.13); Robin Errecart in the 200-500 frees (1:49.70-4:57.60) and Shannon Catalano (both flys, 55.70-2:03.21).

Tiger froshwoman breaststroker Heidi Schmidt, who went a a pr- and UOP record 1:01.16 — fifth-fastest nationally for 2001-'02 — to win the Speedo
Invitational at Belmont Plaza the first weekend of December, cruised to a 1:03.72-1:04.66 win over UCLA's Austrian Olympian, Elvira Fischer. The latter won the 200 brest (2:18.16).

The Bruins' next home meets are against Pac-10 foes Stanford and Cal., Feb. 5-6, in Westwood. UCLA then closes out its season with a dual meet against
crosstown rival USC at the Trojans' McDonald's Olympic Swim Stadium Feb. 12.
