Jan. 13, 2008

SEATTLE, Wash. - Sophomore Daniel Donnelly had the top times in three events and UC Davis won eight of the first 10 events en route to a 133-117 victory over Seattle inside the Connelly Center Sunday afternoon.

The Aggies, who swam the final four events as exhibitions, improve their dual record to 2-1 overall while the Redhawks, who are in their final year as a Division II member, are now 2-2 on the season. UC Davis also defeated Seattle two years ago at Schaal Aquatics Center.

Donnelly had season-best times with victories in the 200 butterfly (1:50.72) and 200 backstroke (1:52.75), and had the top time in the 100 fly swimming exhibition with another season-best time of 50.40.

Donnelly also combined with freshman Jimmy Fong, senior Russell Taylor and junior Evan Kraus to record a winning time of 1:35.91 in the 200 medley. The Aggie team of Kraus, junior Jason Kim, sophomore Russ Underwood and senior Nik Kemp also had the best time in the 400 free relay (3:08.32), which they swam as an exhibition.

Junior Alex Arbios won the 1,000 free with a season-best time of 9:33.28 and had the best time in an exhibition swim in the 500 free (4:40.90), which was also his season best.

Kraus, Kemp, Fong and Underwood also won individual events. Kraus claimed the 50 free in 21.84, while Kemp had the top time in the 200 free (1:43.65), which was his season best. Fong won the 100 back (53.01) and Underwood claimed the 100 free (47.51).

The UC Davis men's and women's swimming and diving teams return home to Schaal Aquatics Center for the first time this season on Saturday with a double dual with Big West opponents Cal Poly and Pacific at 12:30 p.m.
