The Washington State swim team defeated No. 15 UCLA 143-119, in Pac-12 swimming action at home on Saturday. It was the Cougars’ first win ever against the Bruins.

Washington State won 10 of the 14 events.

Sophomore Jasmine Margetts led the way for the Cougars with wins in the 100 back (56.67), 200 back (2:01.77) and 400 IM (4:24.16). In total, she contributed 27 points to the Cougars’ total to lead the team.

Arizona State sweeps Denver

The women’s meet came down to the final two events

The ASU men took an early lead and continued to build upon it throughout the meet while the women’s decision came down to the final two events – the 400 IM and the 200 free relay.

In the 400 IM, Marlies Ross and Denver’s Maddie Myers traded advantage at each turn and at the final touch, the result cwas a stunning tie as both women touched the wall at 4:17.75. Ross improved her time significantly from last weekend, nine seconds faster than a week ago.
