RENO, Nev., Jan. 27. THE University of Nevada women\u2019s swim team completed a two-day sweep over Washington State University with a 114-88 victory in a dual meet Saturday. The Wolf Pack had earlier beaten the Cougars 150.5-111.5 Friday evening.<\/p>\n
"Basically we have been in a lull with our training since the Olympic Training Center trip, and the altitude in Reno definitely affected our attitude," WSU
\nhead coach Rocco Aceto said. "Nevada just came in off a tough loss to Pacific last weekend, and prepared dilligently against us. The bottom line is our team
\nhad a poor athletic performance this weekend.<\/p>\n
Nevada won seven of 11 events, and senior Ping Luo claimed three victories for the second day in a row.
\nLuo won the 500 and 1000 freestyle, and the 200 butterfly Saturday. <\/p>\n
Cougar Freshman Taryn Ternent (Edenvale, South Africa) won two events, bringing
\nher total to five victories in the two days. Ternent claimed victory in the 50 freestyle with a time of 24.17 seconds, and the 100 freestyle in 52.98
\nseconds. <\/p>\n
"Taryn was the most aggressive competitor for us, she really held the team together," Aceto said. "Other than that, the Wolf Pack wanted a victory more than us, and we had some uncontrolled variables affect us, which in athletics is something you have to plan ahead for."<\/p>\n
Andree-Anne LeRoy, a freshman from Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, grabbed first place for WSU in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2 minutes 10.92
\nseconds. WSU\u2019s 200 freestyle relay team of Rebecca Cohen (Portland, Ore.), Sara Schmied (Woodinville, Wash.), Theresa Dunn (Morgan Hills, Calif.) and Rachelle Carano (Reno, Nev.) added a victory in the last event of the day, but it was too late for the Cougars.<\/p>\n
"We got swept, and just had a really poor swimming weekend, but we hope and believe that we can rebound well against the Oregon State Beavers next weekend," Aceto said.<\/p>\n
The Cougars, now 7-3 this season, compete next against Oregon State in a two-day series of dual meets Friday and Saturday February 2-3 in Corvallis.<\/p>\n
